Chapter 171: Chapter 159 I Want to Give You a Different Night
The spacious and private brand-new ward was equipped with its own bathroom.
Xia Gaoqiang had desperately queued for days without being able to secure such medical facilities, but Chen Cheng resolved it effortlessly with just a phone call.
It was then that he deeply realized that resources in this world were never distributed fairly.
Wang Hui lay on the hospital bed, her gaze turning towards Chen Cheng before her, her heart full of gratitude.
"Cheng Cheng, it really troubled you quite a bit."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Aunt Hui, let’s just settle down comfortably and focus on getting your strength back."
Xiao Meier added, "Aunt Hui, I’ll have someone from Wanbao Hall deliver food to you every day, so you’re set for three meals a day and don’t need to get food from the hospital canteen anymore."
She said with a beaming smile, "This way, Xia Bao doesn’t have to run back and forth either."
"It’s really too much trouble for you all."
"Don’t say that, Aunt Hui," Xiao Meier continued, "Xiao Cheng and the others have played together since they were little. Now that you’re not feeling well, we should all look after you a bit, it’s only right."
Feng Biao nodded vigorously, "Yeah, Aunt Hui. Don’t worry. If there’s any problem, just call us."
Ding Zhaohui chimed in, "Aunt Hui, just ease your mind and focus on getting better, don’t worry about anything else. We all come from the same neighborhood, and it’s only natural to help each other out. You, just need to recover quickly; we’re all looking forward to having you join us for fun times in the future!"
Wang Hui nodded slightly, her voice a bit hoarse, "I’ll remember your kindness; once I’m better, I definitely want to thank you properly."
Chen Cheng laughed heartily, "Aunt Hui, aren’t you being a bit too formal?"
The atmosphere in the ward grew even warmer as everyone comforted Wang Hui, enveloping her in endless warmth and care.
At that moment, a group of doctors on rounds walked in.
The one leading was clearly very experienced and, seeing Wang Hui for the first time, was exceptionally warm.
"Older sister, how do you feel today?"
Wang Hui answered, "My back is still swollen, can’t turn over."
He carefully checked the data from the machines and her medical records, even looked at an X-ray, "You have a coccyx fracture, it will take some time to recover."
"However, based on the current situation, there’s no sign of worsening, which is good news. You should try to maintain a supine position as much as possible and avoid moving around too much."
Wang Hui sighed softly, "Ah, this is really hard."
Xiao Meier immediately consoled her, "Aunt Hui, don’t worry, take your time to get better slowly."
The doctor continued, "We’ll observe for a few more days, if the situation remains stable, we’ll remove the waist support brace, which will make you feel a bit more comfortable."
"Get some rest, this is not a serious illness. Just rest and you’ll recover," he added.
Xiao Meier then asked, "Doctor, anything in particular to watch out for in the diet?"
The doctor replied, "Diet-wise, try to eat more foods rich in protein and calcium, like milk, eggs, fish – these are all good and can help with bone healing. Spicy and stimulating foods should be eaten less to avoid affecting recovery."
Xiao Meier noted this and said, "Okay, doctor, we’ll keep that in mind." 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After the doctor gave his instructions, he left the ward with the other medical staff.
The ward returned to its previous quiet, Wang Hui gazing at the ceiling, feeling moved yet somewhat helpless.
Chen Cheng seemed to sense Wang Hui’s thoughts and said, "Aunt Hui, don’t think too much, just do as the doctor said, we’re all here with you."
Feng Biao also said, "Yeah, Aunt Hui, just focus on recovering, leave the rest to us."
Xia Gaoqiang stood aside, his heart warmed by the concern of the other three.
"Guys, thanks."
Ding Zhaohui patted his shoulder, "Call us if you need anything."
Chen Cheng checked the time, "Shall we head out? Let Aunt Hui rest."
"Xiao Qiang, see Cheng Cheng and the others out," Wang Hui said.
The group left the ward, and Xia Gaoqiang saw them all off to their cars before returning.
He was deeply stirred, especially after witnessing so many privileges, and could no longer contain his desire to take up Chen Cheng’s invitation to work together.
"Mom..." Xia Gaoqiang quickly approached the bed but stopped short as he noticed two envelopes under the fruit basket on the nearby cabinet.
Without opening them, he knew they were from Ding Zhaohui and Feng Biao.
"Xiao Qiang, we really need to thank them properly," said Wang Hui, who also knew how difficult it had been to change wards.
Xia Gaoqiang bit his lip, "Mom, I don’t want to continue living in poverty."
"What’s wrong?"
"Dacheng said, he wants me to work with him."
Xia Gaoqiang honestly recounted Chen Cheng’s ideas, and Wang Hui, upon hearing this, said, "You mean, you’re not teaching in school anymore?"
"Mom, how much can I earn teaching?"
He spoke frankly, "I’m already thirty, a year older than Chen Cheng. When we needed a ward, we couldn’t get one, but with just his call, it was settled. Even getting a specialist appointment was impossible, but wasn’t the head physician who we couldn’t get an appointment with just here for rounds?"
"All arranged by Dacheng," he was resolved.
Wang Hui moistened her dry lips, "Son, of all your friends, ours is the least well-off family."
Her voice too held a hint of resignation, "Your mother can’t give you much, but whatever you want to do, go for it."
"You’re right, you are thirty, and being a P.E. teacher all your life isn’t really doing anything grand," Wang Hui continued, "Your mother hopes you can make a name for yourself, for our old Xia family to gain some pride."
Xia Gaoqiang nodded firmly, "Dacheng is doing so well now, and he’s willing to help me out, I have to seize this opportunity."
"You must also remember this favor from Cheng Cheng. As his business grows and he’s still willing to help you, that’s what a truly good friend does," Wang Hui added.
