Chapter 305: Chapter 282: Who Says She Can’t Be Discharged?

"You’re not dead yet?"

Such a simple phrase, yet Li Chen almost choked on his anger.

Damn it, can’t you watch your language? How were you raised, asking someone right off the bat if they’re not dead yet?

I’m obviously alive and well; it’s you who’s dead, your dad’s dead, your whole family is dead.

Li Chen was incredibly frustrated. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re just a kid, I would have taught you a lesson long ago.

Nangong Yu looked Li Chen over and said after a few seconds, "Looks like they haven’t made a move yet, but it’s coming soon."

Huh? What hasn’t happened yet?

Li Chen frowned, but Nangong Yu had no intention of continuing the conversation. After saying that, he headed straight for the police station.

"Wait a second." Li Chen stopped Nangong Yu. "What did you mean by what you just said?"

Nangong Yu stopped, still speaking coolly, "You’ll find out when the time comes. I’ve already given you the warning I needed to; whether you can survive now depends on your own skill."

Talking all mystical?

"Speak more clearly." Li Chen said, "Who’s making a move?"

Nangong Yu said nothing, merely shook his head slightly, "Don’t you already know? Alright, don’t stand in my way, I still have things to do."

After that, Nangong Yu tried to sidestep Li Chen, but Li Chen was pissed, "Believe it or not, I’ll hit you!"

"You better watch out for yourself." Nangong Yu coolly replied, then walked into the police station with Ming Mie.

By the time Nangong Yu had entered, Li Chen was left speechless. Damn it, to be shut up by a kid today.

However, why did Nangong Yu always talk like this? Adding to that the white pills Ouyang Wan’er had just handed over to him, Li Chen really did frown for a moment.

Fourth Grandfather could predict the dangers he faced, and Nangong Yu had been able to appear in the casino that day, so he must be no simple character, and it seemed like she knew something as well.

What exactly was the danger?

Frowning, Li Chen couldn’t figure it out and decided to just see how things would unfold.

Next, Li Chen planned to make a trip to the hospital. Lin Xiaoxiao was still there, and it had been days since he had visited her. Lin Yi had also asked about her, but Li Chen had come up with an excuse. If he didn’t go to see Lin Xiaoxiao now, he would probably be scolded to death by his sister-in-law, especially since it was his fault that she got injured.

After buying some fruits and a few other gifts, Li Chen went to the hospital.

He made his way to the ward like the back of his hand and immediately saw Lin Xiaoxiao causing a fuss on the hospital bed.

"Aunt Wang, I want to be discharged, go and handle the discharge procedures for me."

"Xiaoxiao, the doctor said you still need to rest for some time." Aunt Wang said helplessly beside the bed.

"I’m all better, get the doctor over here, I’m so bored I could die." Lin Xiaoxiao beat her legs restlessly.

At this moment, an old man in another bed frowned, "Girl, be quiet for a while, you can’t heal that quickly."

"Exactly, your condition isn’t something that clears up so quickly. Didn’t the doctor say yesterday that you need another ten days to half a month? Better settle down." The patient in the bed on the left chimed in.

Aunt Wang didn’t say anything, but sighed inwardly. She knew Lin Xiaoxiao’s condition best from the doctor; although Lin Xiaoxiao seemed healed, her internal injuries had not. This was fundamental, and any rash movements could lead to complications, potentially causing permanent issues.

As she listened to the two elderly patients, Lin Xiaoxiao grew more irritated, "Who says I’m not better?"

"The doctor said it. Why don’t you call him over again?" At this moment, an older woman from the opposite bed also spoke, "Child, healing takes time, be patient."

Lin Xiaoxiao, lectured by these patients, grew even more rebellious, "I am better, I want to be discharged today. Aunt Wang, go call the doctor to check on me."

Aunt Wang stood helplessly aside, neither able to agree nor disagree.

At that moment, Li Chen entered with a smile, placing the things he bought on the table.

"Xiaoxiao, feeling any better?"

Aunt Wang turned and smiled, "Son-in-law."

Lin Xiaoxiao saw Li Chen come in, snorted, and turned her head away, "It took you so long to come and see me, brother-in-law, you must have forgotten about me."

Li Chen touched his nose, embarrassed; he indeed had been too busy these days to visit Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, isn’t your brother-in-law here now?" Li Chen had rushed to find Shadow after taking Lin Xiaoxiao to the hospital, then spent several days with Lin Yi, indeed forgetting about Lin Xiaoxiao. But he remembered today as soon as he got out, didn’t he?

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, "Brother-in-law, I want to be discharged. I’ll go crazy if I stay here any longer."

"Son-in-law, Xiaoxiao’s injuries aren’t fully healed yet. The doctor said it would take another ten days to half a month." Aunt Wang quietly told Li Chen, summarizing Lin Xiaoxiao’s recent condition.

Listening to Aunt Wang’s account, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Currently, Lin Xiaoxiao had no serious illness, although there were some minor ones inside her body. They could be cured given some time, but the healing would take a rather long time since they were internal injuries.

At that moment, a fellow patient beside them shook his head and said, "This child really lacks patience, and will have troubles if she leaves any lingering issues."

Lin Xiaoxiao, feeling aggravated, turned and said, "Who are you talking about?"

"Are you really going to argue with an old man? I’m just stating facts, kid. Patience is essential in recovery," the old man said.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt aggrieved, lifted her head, and almost tearfully said, "Brother-in-law, I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore, I want to leave."

"Alright, alright, your brother-in-law will take you out of the hospital," Li Chen said, his heart aching. Lin Xiaoxiao had ended up in this predicament because of him, and now she was even being upset in the hospital, which was unacceptable.

"Son-in-law, the doctor said Xiaoxiao shouldn’t engage in strenuous activities or else her internal injuries might worsen."

"Young man, be a bit more composed. Taking her out won’t cure her illness," the fellow patient kindly advised.

Li Chen also frowned slightly. These people talked too much.

"Who says her illness can’t be cured?" Li Chen furrowed his brows, and the fellow patients seeing his reaction could not help but say angrily, "Alright, alright, consider me meddling."

The patients around them stopped talking, but they were determined to see Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao make fools of themselves.

"Son-in-law," Aunt Wang said, looking worriedly at Li Chen. She didn’t want Lin Xiaoxiao discharged because Lin Xiaoxiao loved to cause trouble, making it nearly impossible for her to avoid strenuous movement.

"It’s okay," Li Chen said with a slight smile, then pulled out the blood of the Ginseng Doll from his pocket.

This drop of fresh blood, gifted to him when he captured the Ginseng Doll, had never been used by him. But now, it could come in handy. The blood of the Ginseng Doll had allowed Wang Qianqian’s grandmother to regrow black hair. Healing the injuries inside Lin Xiaoxiao’s body should also be feasible.

"Xiaoxiao, drink this." Li Chen handed over the Blood Bead, and Lin Xiaoxiao reached out her finger, looking puzzled.

"Trust your brother-in-law, after taking this, you can be discharged," Li Chen said.

Hearing the word "discharged," Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened. She had been in here long enough, so without another word, she swallowed the Blood Bead, and as the blood of the Ginseng Doll entered Lin Xiaoxiao’s body, a vibrant energy filled with vitality began to spread from the blood, following Lin Xiaoxiao’s meridians and entering her organs.

The internal injuries left by Shadow’s palm strike started healing rapidly under this vibrant energy, and Lin Xiaoxiao’s complexion also became rosier and her eyes brighter and more lustrous.

It could be said that with the swallowing of the Blood Bead of the Ginseng Doll, Lin Xiaoxiao’s body would be extremely healthy going forward. To her, illness? What is that anyway?

"Brother-in-law, can I be discharged now?" Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Li Chen smiled slightly and then placed his hand on his sister-in-law’s wrist. Upon examining her, he discovered that the injuries inside Lin Xiaoxiao’s body had fully healed, with no trace of the internal injuries left.

"Of course, you can," Li Chen said as he patted Lin Xiaoxiao’s head.

"Wow, that’s amazing," Lin Xiaoxiao cheered. The surrounding patients shook their heads, thinking that young people, still young, didn’t understand the severity of illness and were being ridiculous.

"Son-in-law," Aunt Wang said worriedly by the side. Li Chen smiled slightly, "It’s fine, go call the doctor over."

Aunt Wang nodded and then went to call the doctor, while the surrounding patients were ready to see Li Chen embarrass himself. You say it’s fine, then why do you need a doctor?

"Young people always overestimate themselves; let’s see what the doctor says when he comes," said the old man from the bed on the left. Lin Xiaoxiao snorted; if it weren’t for him being an elder, she would have retorted fiercely long ago.

Before long, a middle-aged man in a white coat came in, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao on the hospital bed and couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "Xiaoxiao, how many times has it been now?"

"Doctor Wang, could you check me out?" Lin Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue; she had a decent relationship with the doctor.

"I’m setting this straight, if it’s still not okay this time, you can’t come to me for at least a week. I examined you twice yesterday," Doctor Wang said with a wry smile, getting a bit annoyed since Lin Xiaoxiao had been seeking checks from him too frequently.

"Doctor Wang, don’t worry, there won’t be any issues this time."

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding patients and Aunt Wang, Doctor Wang began to examine Lin Xiaoxiao. As soon as he put on the stethoscope, he uttered, "Huh," as it seemed Lin Xiaoxiao’s condition was different from yesterday.

Doctor Wang looked curious, checked again, and indeed, it was different. If yesterday’s injuries were still apparent, today she seemed like a normal person without any issues and even more lively than usual.

Doctor Wang, not believing his findings, checked several more times and then under everyone’s gaze said with a wry smile, "Xiaoxiao, although I don’t know what caused this change in your body, based on today’s examination, you can be discharged."

"That’s fantastic," Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily, got up with a jump, gave Doctor Wang a big hug, and then hugged Li Chen as well.

The surrounding patients were dumbfounded. Damn, wasn’t she supposed to recuperate for another ten days to half a month just yesterday? How could she be discharged today?

The old man on the bed to the left felt bewildered and asked, "Doctor, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? This young lady, she’s really okay?"

"Of course, she’s fine. I checked three times. Although I don’t know what happened, she really is okay," Doctor Wang turned and said.

"Then check me too, to see if I can be discharged," the old man said.

Doctor Wang went over, checked him, and then pondered before saying, "Your condition requires at least three more months of recovery."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to herself, you wanted to see me fail, huh? Li Chen smiled and shook his head, "Let’s go."
