The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter
Chapter 434: I Really Can’t Treat Your Sister’s Illness (2)_1

"Doctor, doctor, please take a look at my sister’s leg, what’s wrong with it?" After Xiao Yanlei placed Liu Yuhan on the hospital bed, he anxiously called for a doctor. He almost went up and grabbed the doctor by the collar to make him treat Liu Yuhan.

Fortunately, the doctors at this military hospital were very familiar with the families of the Capital City’s officials and knew each family’s members quite well. Otherwise, if they accidentally offended an official one day, they might have to pack up and head home.

Recognizing Xiao Yanlei as a member of the Xiao Family, the doctor didn’t show any impatience at Xiao Yanlei’s shouting but instead approached to treat Liu Yuhan with a very good attitude.

"Where does it hurt?"

"My leg, my leg hurts so much. But I can’t move my leg," Liu Yuhan forced herself to stop crying.

When the doctor heard Liu Yuhan say her leg hurt, he reached out to touch her leg, but as soon as his hand touched Liu Yuhan’s leg, she screamed, "It hurts, it hurts. Don’t touch me, it hurts even more when you touch it."

Hearing Liu Yuhan’s piercing screams, Xiao Yanlei scolded the doctor. "If my sister’s leg hurts this much, why are you touching her?" The doctor felt bitter inside. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have tolerated such attitude from a patient’s family, and he would have said, "What’s all the fuss about? How can I examine her without looking and touching?" But today’s patient and her family had a special status, and the doctor dared not have any complaints.

"If we can’t touch the leg, then let’s take an X-ray first and see if there is a problem with the nerves or something inside the leg," the doctor suggested.

Xiao Yanlei had no choice but to carry the continuously crying Liu Yuhan to get an X-ray. However, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her leg in the X-ray images.

This made the doctor who got the X-ray images look at them over and over, frowning without speaking. Xiao Yanlei’s impatience flared, "Doctor, say something, what’s wrong with my sister’s leg?"

"I’m sorry, but from this X-ray, your sister’s leg appears to be fine," the doctor said, looking at the X-ray and then at the still crying Liu Yuhan. He thought to himself that Liu Yuhan didn’t seem to be faking it, but the X-ray really showed no issues.

"What? Are you even capable of treating patients? If there’s no problem, why would my sister be in so much pain? If you’re incompetent, don’t just stand there, get an expert from your hospital," Xiao Yanlei exclaimed, utterly annoyed by Liu Yuhan’s cries of pain.

And that was exactly what the doctor had been waiting for from Xiao Yanlei. As soon as Xiao Yanlei said those words, the doctor scurried off to call for their orthopedic expert.

The orthopedic expert arrived, but Liu Yuhan’s leg was untouchable, and the expert found no problems on the X-ray. This left him unable to proceed. "Young Master Xiao, I really can’t treat your sister’s condition."

"What are you talking about? Aren’t you the expert? How can you say you can’t treat her?" Xiao Yanlei roared.

"Young Master Xiao, experts aren’t omnipotent, and since we can’t touch your sister’s leg without her screaming in pain, it prevents us from conducting a proper examination. How can you expect us to treat her?" The expert was much more assertive than the previous doctor.

Feeling helpless, Xiao Yanlei watched Liu Yuhan continue to scream in pain without allowing anyone to touch her leg. Left with no other option, he called his grandfather, Old Master Xiao, to inform him of Liu Yuhan’s situation.

Upon receiving a call from his grandson Xiao Yanlei about his granddaughter Liu Yuhan’s leg problem, Old Master Xiao hurried from home to the hospital.

"What happened? What’s wrong with Yuhan’s leg?" Old Master Xiao rushed to the hospital, and before he even arrived at the orthopedic doctor’s office, he heard his granddaughter Liu Yuhan’s cries of pain.

"Grandfather?" Seeing her grandfather’s arrival, Liu Yuhan, who had been crying non-stop earlier, now cried even more fiercely. If her leg hadn’t been in so much pain and devoid of sensation, she would have definitely thrown herself into Old Master Xiao’s arms to act spoiled and complain about Situ Xin. Liu Yuhan’s maternal grandfather’s family might reside in Capital City, but she only visited during holidays. She knew little about the Situ Family and Situ Xin. Moreover, in her mind, due to her parents’ influence, she believed the Xiao Family was extremely powerful in Capital City, walking sideways with even the highest leaders giving way to her grandfather. Therefore, Liu Yuhan paid no mind to the earlier confrontation between her brother Xiao Yanlei and Situ Jin, knowing that Situ Xin was no ordinary citizen but someone with a background. None of that mattered to her.

Meanwhile, Cao Mengqi, who had been standing by the hospital bed comforting Liu Yuhan, stepped aside when she saw Old Master Xiao arriving. She had met Old Master Xiao a few times and didn’t know why, but Mengqi always felt very intimidated by him. Even when Old Master Xiao’s attention wasn’t on her, she would get so nervous that her back would break out in a cold sweat, trying to make herself as unnoticeable as possible. Whether it was her own guilt or fear that her dark thoughts would be exposed was unclear.

Old Master Xiao, seeing his granddaughter’s red-rimmed eyes and relentless tears, showed a pained expression on his face. He quickly walked over to the bed where Liu Yuhan lay, "Yuhan, what’s the matter? Where does your leg hurt? Doctor, can’t you see my granddaughter is in so much pain? Why aren’t you coming over to check her thoroughly?" Because Xiao Yanlei, when calling Old Master Xiao, had only mentioned Liu Yuhan’s leg issue and nothing else, and in his rush, he had hung up the phone before he could say more.
