Chapter 952: Chapter 952: He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (12)

Fortunately, after the final examination, everything was normal for Ruan Jiaojiao, and she was cleared for discharge. As for the wound, it wouldn’t be a problem as long as she kept it dry and avoided getting it wet.

After sending off the big family, Dr. Yuan felt a great sense of relief. Honestly, whether it was out of humanitarianism or for his own safety, he truly hoped that Ruan Jiaojiao would live a long and healthy life forever!

Having treated a patient like her was enough to shorten his lifespan.

With so many brothers, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t even need to walk. Ruan Jie carried her on his back, and the other brothers surrounded her so tightly that she didn’t even feel the coldness of January.

Walking on the street back home, many shop owners warmly greeted Ruan Jiaojiao upon seeing her discharged. Those selling snacks even gave her some extras, so by the time she arrived home, the dining table was laden with various treats, including meat and dried fish, generously weighed by the butchers and fishmongers.

Of course, the butcher didn’t miss the chance to nag about the meat-pairing issues.

After arriving home, Ruan Jiaojiao was settled in bed to rest. Whether it was drinking water or fetching things, she always had two brothers at her service, fearing that any slight movement of her hands would reopen the wound.

The Ruanlin Family and Zhao Li were busy in the kitchen. Today was a day for celebration, as Ruan Jiaojiao’s discharge was a joyous occasion that called for a proper celebration.

Ruan Jiaojiao had been laying in the hospital for several days, and now she was not sleepy at all. So, she got up and went to the living room, where she saw her older brothers playing cards and joined them with a cheerful smile.

Ruan Jun was sitting on the sofa. Seeing her get out of bed, he immediately said, "Why are you down here? Are you cold? Come sit with your brother here."

Ruan Jiaojiao snuggled obediently into the warmth, and Ruan Jun, who was nearly ten years her senior, enveloped her completely, wrapping her securely in a warm cocoon of blankets.

Ruan Jiaojiao nestled on the sofa next to Ruan Jun, watching the brothers play cards. They played for money, with each card valued at one cent, to see who could get rid of their cards the fastest, with the slowest paying according to the number of cards left at a penny each.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know how to play, but after watching a few rounds, she was eager to try. To amuse his sister, Ruan Jun held her in his arms, holding the cards in his left hand and letting her play with her right hand.

The three brothers playing against her also discreetly let her win.

After the last round of cards, Ruan Jiaojiao had won more than a dollar, her smile sweeter than honey. She was well aware that her brothers had let her win, but she was still delighted.

The group played until it was time for lunch. Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t hold her bowl well with one hand, and the Ruanlin Family wanted to feed her. Embarrassed to be fed in front of so many brothers, she insisted on scooping food with a spoon herself. The Ruanlin Family couldn’t persuade her otherwise and allowed her to eat on her own.

To keep from getting cold, Ruan Jiaojiao ate on the sofa, with her rice bowl resting on the side table. She spooned the food bite by bite, her more than ten brothers watching her bowl intently, topping up her dish the moment they saw it was getting low, even Lu Zishu added to it once.

After eating to about eighty percent full and just as she was about to sip her soup for comfort, the phone rang beside her. She immediately put down her spoon to answer it.

"Hello, who’s this?"

"Jiaojiao, are you discharged?" The voice on the other end was that of Grandpa Shu, who was thrilled to hear Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice.

"Yes, I’ve been discharged. How are you, Grandpa?"
