It was late when Jaquan arrived at the hospital. The moment the car stopped, Randy sitting in the back shouted at him without raising his head, "Jaquan, you're here. Get off the car!"
Jaquan was speechless.
He was a patient who got hit in the head! Why did Randy hurry him?
Jaquan held his head and got out of the car. He wanted to wave at Randy, but Randy closed the curtain at once.
"..."
What was wrong with him?
He called Collin before he came in. So as soon as he entered the hospital, he saw Collin in his white coat. He had a slight concussion. After taking a CT scan of his brain, Collin looked at the CT report and said, "No big problem, but you'd better go home and rest for a day."
"OK." Jaquan held his head and took out his phone. He called his client and apologized to him to reschedule.
Collin asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Jaquan looked at his watch and asked, "Are you on duty tonight?"
"Yes, I can't eat with you. I still have a patient to see."
"Go." Jaquan patted his shoulder.
Not long after the two parted, Jaquan saw Stony in the hall. The kid was asking the nurse, "Miss, my mother has finished infusion. Can we leave now?"
The nurse probably remembered him. She squatted down as soon as she heard what he said and replied seriously, "I'm afraid not. Didn't Doctor Mueller tell you? Your mother needs to be hospitalized for a week. If she is discharged from the hospital now, her leg might not be able to walk in the future. Do you hope so?"
Stony's face was obviously a little conflicted. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He shook his head seriously and asked, "Can we leave here and come back tomorrow?"
Jaquan was very curious about why his mother could not stay in the hospital for just one night.
The nurse shook her head. "No, it's better for her leg if she don't move as much as possible. She just stayed there for a week. Try to get over with it" Although the nurse did not know why Emma was in such a hurry to leave, she naturally thought that she was unaccustomed to the hospital and wanted to go out and live alone.
Stony seemed to be discouraged and went back with his head down.
Jaquan followed him and watched him walk up the second floor to a ward. The door was open, and he saw Collin standing in front of the bed and asking, "How do you feel?"
Jaquan thought, 'It turned out that the patient he needed to see was her!’
Stony walked in and obediently greeted Doctor Mueller, "Hello, Doctor Mueller."
He walked to Emma's bed and held her hand. He shook his little head gently. His meaning was obvious that they couldn’t leave hospital.
Emma then looked at Collin and asked, "Can I live outside the hospital?"
"Why?" Collin had a fair skin with his eyes long and narrow. His white coat even made him better-looking. He had become a so called female killer in the hospital because of his warm and gentle attitude towards all his patients, both the young and the elderly.
But Emma’s expression was still indifferent when facing his gentleness, "I don't want to live here."
Collin asked, "Don't you like hospitals?"
Emma did not answer.
"Where do you want to stay? A hotel?" Collin observed her expression and asked.
Emma shook her head.
"Where would you like to stay if you don't want to stay at the hotel tonight?" Collin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that you want to live in..."
Jaquan knew that this woman would definitely agree to live in Collin's house without any hesitation. But he would not let this single mother disturb Collin’s life. What if he could not find a girlfriend in the future?
Jaquan hurriedly stepped in and interrupted Collin. He said to Emma, "You can live in my house, the one you stayed last time."
Collin glanced at Jaquan and said, "Didn't you leave?"
"I suddenly remembered that I needed to look for you to ask something, and then I found you here. What a coincidence ... I met her again."
Jaquan was talking nonsense.
When Emma saw him chatting with the doctor, she realized that the two of them really knew each other and this was truly a coincidence.
Collin did not believe him and directly asked, "What is it?"
"Huh?" Jaquan did not realize what he was saying.
Collin reminded, "Didn't you say you were looking for me?"
Jaquan suddenly realized, "Oh, that's right, is my CT going to need to be re-examined tomorrow?"
"CT only needs to be done once a month. Have you forgotten this common sense?" Collin gave him a quick glance which meant obviously that he should stop pretending.
"..."
Jaquan really wanted to say, 'Forget it, and let her stay at your house'.
He must have been possessed by a ghost just now. Otherwise he would not sacrifice himself to save Collin. But he didn’t expect that Collin was so ungrateful and dragged him to the bathroom.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested in her?" Collin questioned him with an indifferent expression.
Jaquan was shocked, "Are you crazy? Are you interested in her?"
Collin said with a look of righteousness, "Yeah, she happens to have a child. It can just save my time on babysitting."
"..."
Jaquan was unable to understand his thoughts, so he could only ask indirectly, "Can your parents accept it?"
Collin took off his mask and took a deep breath before saying, "Doctor, among all professions, has the highest sudden death rate in the country. Do you want them to accept me as a loner or a good wife with a child?"
"This is really ridiculous!" Jaquan was completely shocked by his words, and he immediately felt that the heroic sacrifice he had just made was too wise!
Collin shrugged, "What's wrong? What do you think?"
"Marriage is supposed to be happy for a couple. Having a child is also the same. When two people love each other deeply, they will naturally yearn to have their own kid. This is life." Jaquan pointed at him and cursed, "You're simply a gentle scum!"
Jaquan still couldn’t relieve his anger. He then heavily pounded Collin on the shoulder and entered the ward. Emma was already sitting in a wheelchair. Jaquan directly pushed her out and glared at Collin before he left.
Collin didn’t know what to say.
Why did Jaquan suddenly get so angry? Did he say something wrong?
Jaquan took Emma to go through the discharge procedures first. He didn't expect that Armando had paid a lot of money and even found a care worker. After Jaquan explained it to the hospital staff, he took the money back. Then, he pushed Emma to the door and called a taxi. His voice was somewhat solemn in the cold wind. "My friend, he is nice to everyone. Don't think too much about it."
Emma nodded.
Just a nod?
Jaquan was speechless. After the taxi arrived, Stony quickly stepped forward and opened the door.. He was small, but his had strength.
