Chapter 222: See a doctor together
Ye Wanqing slept until nearly ten o'clock. Several new patients were admitted to the observation room. Accompanied by the suppressed sobs of their family members, she was awakened by the urgent need to urinate and could no longer sleep.
At around seven in the morning, Lin Xuan's message quietly slid into her mobile phone screen, gently asking about her breakfast preferences.
At this time, the drip had long ended, and the needle on the back of her hand seemed to have been quietly removed while she was asleep, leaving only a small piece of tape as a trace.
Ye Wanqing lightly touched the screen with her fingertips, replied to Lin Xuan's message, and then pressed the red call button on the bedside.
Soon, a nurse in a neat uniform rushed over, looking concerned: "Are you feeling better? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently. After a night of tossing and turning, her face looked slightly pale, and her spirits were not as strong as before. Her voice was a little hoarse: "I'm much better. Can I leave the observation room now?"
The nurse flipped through the medical records in her hand: "You were admitted to the hospital at 4:30 in the morning. According to regulations, you need to wait until 10:30 to leave."
"But I feel like I've fully recovered. Can't we do it earlier?" There was a hint of urgency in Ye Wanqing's eyes.
"It's best to wait until the time is up before leaving, to avoid any accidents. We can't bear the responsibility."
Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip and said after hesitating for a moment: "Can I sign the waiver and leave now? I'm really in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, the nurse carefully reviewed her medical records again and said, "Then let your family come in to pick you up. Go to the front desk to print out your information, and then you can leave."
"Okay, thank you." Ye Wanqing thanked him quickly, got out of bed quickly, held the phone in one hand, quickly sent a message to Lin Xuan, and then hurried to the examination table.
The emergency room was incredibly busy at that moment. A new patient was in critical condition, and the examination table was empty. The door to the observation room was tightly shut, preventing anyone except medical staff from entering.
"Don't come in, I'm fine. I can leave after getting the test results." Ye Wanqing wrote hurriedly in the message.
"Okay, be careful." Lin Xuan replied quickly.
Ye Wanqing waited anxiously in front of the examination table for nearly ten minutes, and every second seemed like a year.
Finally, she got her information and rushed out of the observation room desperately. Fortunately, there were medical staff frequently coming in and out of the door, so she was able to follow them out smoothly.
As soon as she came out of the observation room, she saw Lin Xuan standing not far away.
She had been holding her urination for more than three hours, and she had no time to greet Lin Xuan. She just hurriedly stuffed the information in her hand to him, said "I'm going to the bathroom", and left in a hurry.
When Ye Wanqing walked out of the bathroom, Lin Xuan was standing there quietly, his eyes soft and warm.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and an indescribable embarrassment welled up in her heart. She washed her hands and gently patted her cheeks with her fingers dipped in cold water. The cool feeling gradually helped her regain her composure.
The number of people in the hospital gradually increased. When she walked to Lin Xuan's side, she remembered that he had a stomachache: "Is your number coming soon?"
"Not yet, no rush." Lin Xuan's tone was relaxed and casual, but Ye Wanqing couldn't help but frowned: "Did your stomach hurt last night?"
She had known about Lin Xuan's stomach problems since she married into the Lin family. Because of this, she had brought him meals and taken care of him countless times. Thinking of that past, her expression darkened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Your call is at ten o'clock. It's still early." Lin Xuan gently pulled his windbreaker and looked towards a porridge shop not far away. "There's a porridge shop across the street. Let's go have some?"
Ye Wanqing nodded, the feeling of hunger was particularly strong at this time: "Okay, I'm hungry."
The two left the hospital and, just as Lin Xuan had said, they found a porridge shop across the street. It was rush hour, and most people had already returned to work. The porridge shop was mostly populated by patients or their families who had come to see the doctor.
They chose a seat by the window and ordered two bowls of steaming hot porridge. The aroma of the porridge warmed their stomachs and each other's hearts. After they finished their porridge, it was Lin Xuan's turn.
They hurried back to the hospital and arrived at the department just before their appointment was over. Ye Wanqing followed them in, and the door closed gently, isolating them from the outside world.
The doctor was patiently asking about Lin Xuan's symptoms. Ye Wanqing stood aside and after hesitating for a moment, decided to speak.
She walked over to Lin Xuan and added softly, "We had barbecue last night, and the ingredients might not have been very clean. I went to the emergency room last night because of gastroenteritis, and he also started having stomach pain last night."
Upon hearing this, the doctor turned to look at Ye Wanqing: "When did your husband start having stomach pain?"
Ye Wanqing moved her lips, but ultimately didn't explain much. She just patted Lin Xuan's shoulder gently and said, "Lin Xuan, when did your stomachache start last night?"
The two were very close, and Lin Xuan could clearly feel the woman's warm breath and soft voice, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.
He frowned slightly, his deep gaze falling on the densely packed handwriting in the medical record. He opened his thin lips and answered the doctor's question frankly: "It was around one in the morning when the stomach pain started."
When Ye Wanqing heard this answer, her heart trembled violently.
Last night, when she was anxious because of her physical discomfort, Lin Xuan was also silently enduring the torment of stomach pain.
He silently sent her to the hospital and called the emergency room. If she hadn't noticed his pale face, he might not have mentioned his stomachache at all...
"Does it hurt a lot?" the doctor continued to ask, with some concern in his voice.
Lin Xuan pursed his lips lightly, as if recalling the pain from last night: "It's still bearable, not to the point where it's unbearable."
"Have you had a gastroscopy before?" the doctor asked again.
"I just did it once at the end of last year." Lin Xuan's answer was concise and clear, and every word revealed his calmness and composure.
Under Ye Wanqing's urging, Lin Xuan became more cooperative. He answered everything the doctor asked without any hesitation or concealment.
"Did your stomachache start last night? Or have you had similar symptoms before?" The doctor's question obviously touched the key point.
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, as if recalling his previous experience: "I felt pain once last week. I drank a lot of wine that night."
Ye Wanqing remembered the scene that night clearly. Zhao Yu had sent him back home. He had said he had a stomachache and wanted to drink honey water. She had thought he was deliberately picking on her, but she hadn't expected him to actually be suffering from a stomachache.
Tsk, this guy is quite honest.
"Your stomach problem seems to be an old one, so I won't say any more.
I think you are also very clear about the things that need attention, so please pay more attention to them.
I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take for a few days, and try to keep your diet light. "As the doctor wrote the prescription, he looked at Ye Wanqing.
"Your husband's stomach still needs to be taken care of. You have to take extra care of him."
Ye Wanqing was not in a hurry to explain this misunderstanding. She just responded softly and then left the clinic with Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Lin is really patient." Ye Wanqing couldn't help but tease.
Lin Xuan was using his mobile phone to pay medical bills. Just as he finished the operation, he heard Ye Wanqing's words.
He raised his head, his eyes gently falling on her face, lingering for a moment, and then he slowly said: "It doesn't hurt much, just a little uncomfortable."
Ye Wanqing glanced at him, a playful smile on her lips: "That's why I said you can endure it."
Lin Xuan heard a hint of teasing and sarcasm in her words, his black eyes flashed slightly, but in the end he chose not to refute.
Although she didn't get a good rest the whole night and was admitted to the hospital, it can be seen that Ye Wanqing's mood was not greatly affected.
There was a long queue of people waiting to get their medicine. The two waited for nearly half an hour before Lin Xuan's name finally appeared on the screen.
It was almost noon when I left the hospital. Back at the villa, it was almost time for lunch.
Lin Xuan had just gotten into the car when his phone rang rapidly. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly: "I'll take a call."
"Do you need me to step aside?" Ye Wanqing sensitively noticed something and asked subconsciously.
Seeing that she was about to get out of the car, Lin Xuan immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness: "No need, it's just a normal call."
Ye Wanqing looked down at her wrist which was held by Lin Xuan, and felt the warmth and strength coming from his palm, and her arm also became warm.
She struggled slightly, trying to pull her hand out of his grasp: "You'd better answer the phone and don't delay the important matter."
