Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Pretending to Raise Money is a Ruse, Slipping Away is the Goal

Luo Qiao arrived at the hospital today and unexpectedly ran into her big aunt, Zhang Yuehua, coming out. Luo Qiao approached her, "Big Aunt, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yuehua, seeing that it was Luo Qiao, did not hide the truth, "Your mom has been hospitalized. Her condition has worsened significantly since last month."

Luo Qiao frowned and asked, "Which hospital was she in before, and when did she move here?"

Zhang Yuehua sighed, "Previously, she was in the Railway Hospital. Your big uncle inquired around and heard that Director Chang from the Affiliated Hospital is an authority in this field, so he got a consultation with him. After the examination, Director Chang said her tumor wasn’t looking too good.

You know, now she also has mental health issues, so we dare not tell her. Your big uncle and second uncle are in distress and don’t know what to do."

Luo Qiao looked towards her big aunt, "What about her husband, isn’t he taking care of her?"

Zhang Yuehua hardly knew how to start, "That man asked the doctor what the chances of recovery were and after hearing the answer, he left, saying he was going to find ways to raise money. But he hasn’t shown up since he walked out yesterday."

Luo Qiao thought to herself that he was probably just making excuses to run away.

Zhang Yuehua, seeing that Luo Qiao had nothing more to say, spoke up, "Qiaoqiao, your cousin said you interned at this hospital before. Could you help secure a bed for her? She’s still getting her IV in the hallway. I don’t like her, but now that she’s sick, I do feel sorry for her."

Luo Qiao nodded, "I’ll ask about it later. You know how tight the beds are these days."

After talking for a while, the two parted ways.

Zhang Yuehua knew that making such a request today was putting someone in a tough spot, but now that she was sick, she couldn’t worry about that.

Luo Qiao entered Director Chang’s office, "Professor Chang, good morning."

Professor Chang put down the medical record in his hand, "Get changed, it’s time for rounds."

Luo Qiao nodded, went behind the screen, took the white coat hanging on the wall, and followed Professor Chang to the ward area.

Professor Chang’s professionalism impressed Luo Qiao. As they passed room by room, she saw Ning Xueling getting an IV in the hallway, accompanied by Ning Hongda and Ning Hongbo. Luo Qiao didn’t say anything and just slightly furrowed her brow.

After checking another room and coming out, she greeted them briefly and then said, "I have to continue on rounds, so I’ll be off."

Ning Hongda, perhaps still upset about the other day, did not respond to Luo Qiao’s words. Ning Hongbo nodded, "Go on, get busy."

After finishing rounds, Luo Qiao left and went straight to the nurse’s station to ask if there was a bed available for Ning Xueling. After explaining the situation, she left with Professor Chang and the others as she had an operation scheduled for ten-thirty.

No sooner had Luo Qiao left than a bed became available due to a patient’s discharge. A nurse came over to notify Ning Xueling and her family to move to bed number sixty-five in ward six.

In just that short time, Ning Hongbo had already ascertained from the nurse’s station that Luo Qiao was well-known at the hospital.

Ning Hongbo shared what he had learned with Ning Hongda, and after discussing it, they decided to seek Luo Qiao out later. Unfortunately, by the time they went looking for her, Luo Qiao had already entered the operating room.

They tried to visit mid-operation twice more, but Luo Qiao remained in the operating room. The operation they were dealing with today was quite risky, with Luo Qiao assisting in the primary position. Seeing Professor Chang growing weary, Luo Qiao swiftly took over the remainder of the surgery and completed it flawlessly.

By the time Ning Hongbo came looking again, Luo Qiao had already left.

The two planned to go to her family’s house the next day, but Luo Qiao returned home and immediately called her older brothers, updating them on the situation.

Luo Qiao also made her stance clear: if Professor Chang was to perform her mother’s surgery, she wouldn’t deliberately avoid it and would take it seriously, but that was all she would commit to.

Indeed, Ning Hongda approached the Luo Family once again, this time seeking help for his sister, directly appealing to Luo’s Elderly Couple, hoping they would convince their children. Sadly, Zhou Guifang was quite adamant.

She spoke directly, "I understand why you came, but you can’t always turn to my Luo children whenever she needs something. What’s the point of her marrying such a useless man? What was she chasing after in that marriage?

Ignoring her own children and hurrying to serve the Wei Family, and now, when she’s sick, she comes to bother her ex-husband’s children. Does that seem right to you? Shouldn’t her stepsons and stepdaughters be showing gratitude now?"
