Episode 2 'Threads Penetrate'——Some love goes deep into the bone marrow
Chapter 4
After leaving the hospital, Tang Kai silently followed Qiao Che.
Tang Kai was rarely so quiet, prompting Qiao Che to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Kai seemed to be mute, "Old... boss..."
"I'm not dead yet, don't look like you're crying and make me unhappy."
"But boss, Director Xu said you need surgery as soon as possible..."
"I'm a doctor, I have my own sense of proportion."
Tang Kai risked his life and rushed to Qiao Che with a hoarse voice, "Boss, this is no joke... Director Xu said you should have had the surgery a long time ago, but you kept delaying it."
Qiao Che frowned, "Have you also imitated Director Xu's verbosity?"
Tang Kai shook his head, "I don't dare... But boss, if you continue to delay, I'm afraid the situation will get worse and worse like Director Xu said... Damn it, I've been following the boss for so long, and I haven't even been able to do it in a row..."
Boss, I didn’t even notice that you were feeling unwell.”
Tang Kai slapped his head hard, gritted his teeth, and hated himself.
Qiao Che breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you know doctors all exaggerate."
"But Director Xu will not exaggerate to your boss."
Qiao Che glanced at Tang Kai, "Isn't this a good thing for me?"
Tang Kaixiao whispered, "You have fainted twice today..."
"Speaking of which, I haven't settled the accounts with you yet..."
"ah?"
Qiao Che took a step forward and said calmly, "Who asked you to inform Qiao Si?"
"I...I think the boss is not feeling well, so I..." Tang Kai did not dare to continue.
It was rare that after Qiao Che questioned Tang Kai about this matter, he did not say anything to hold him accountable again.
Tang Kai was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the car door for Qiao Che.
After Qiao Che got into the carriage, he wondered if his head still hurt. He rubbed his temples and asked, "Where is she?"
Tang Kai said, "My subordinates told me that Miss Qiao Si has taken a taxi home..."
Qiao Che nodded, "Go home!"
"yes."
…
No one saw Qiao Si upstairs or downstairs. Qiao Che stood in the hall and frowned.
Tang Kai ran over at the right time and reported to Qiao Che, "Boss, I saw my mother. She told me that Miss Qiao Si was in the garden."
Looking at Qiao Si sitting on the garden lawn with her knees in her arms from a distance, Qiao Che's steps stopped.
The sunshine at four o'clock in the afternoon is neither strong nor weak.
The shade of the trees behind her blocked the sun, making her look particularly lonely at the moment.
Rachel was playing in front of her, and she watched quietly, but her eyes were dull.
His heart ached uncontrollably because of the coldness he had given her in the car just now.
Rachel suddenly fell down on the grass and burst into tears...
She was distracted for a few seconds before she reacted.
When she ran to Rachel, he had already picked Rachel up from the grass.
She froze on the spot, as if she didn't expect him to appear at this moment.
Rachel's hand was scratched by a stone on the ground, and she was sobbing and shouting, "Uncle..."
He knelt down and held Rachel in his arms, carefully examining the scratches on Rachel's palms.
She ran forward distressedly, temporarily forgetting her awkwardness with him.
"Rachel, mommy, look at..." She opened her daughter's palm distressedly, and saw that her daughter had such a big cut and there was still blood oozing out of it. She felt extremely uncomfortable. It was all because she was so distracted when she looked at her child.
The child was injured.
"Mommy, it hurts..." Rachel pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qiao Si said, "Be good, it doesn't hurt. Mommy will breathe for you..." As she said that, Qiao Si blew on Rachel's palm intermittently to relieve the pain in Rachel's palm.
Qiao Che had already ordered the servant who hurried from a distance, "Go get the medicine box."
"Mommy, it still hurts..."
"Come, mommy, give me a hug..."
Qiao Si reached out and took Rachel from Qiao Che's arms.
Rachel lay on Qiao Si's shoulder and became silent for a rare moment.
Joss patted Rachel on the back and turned to leave the garden.
Qiao Che said from behind her, "Her wounds were quite deep and she needs simple disinfection before going to the hospital."
Qiao Si hugged Rachel and continued to move forward indifferently.
Rachel squirmed in Qiao Si's arms, "Mommy, I don't want to go to the hospital..."
"If you don't go to the hospital, your hands will be very painful." Qiao Si coaxed.
"But I don't want an injection..."
"Wrap it up and don't need any injections."
"No... Mommy, you lie to me every time... You said last time that I didn't need injections when I went to the hospital, but you still helped the doctor give me injections..."
Qiao Si was embarrassed. She didn't expect that her credibility in front of her children was already so low. She tried to persuade her, "Mommy promises not to get injections this time."
Rachel struggled hard, "I don't want to listen to mommy..."
"Rachel, you don't listen to mommy again?" Qiao Si said with a straight face.
Rachel cried aggrievedly, "Bad mommy..."
Qiao Si was dumbfounded by Rachel.
Rachel was unable to break away from Qiao Si, so she could only open her hands and ask for help from Qiao Che, "Uncle, save me..."
Qiao Che was amused by the scene before him and stepped forward.
Rachel has turned around and thrown herself into Qiao Che's arms.
Qiao Si was also unwilling to let go of Qiao Si and said calmly, "I'm educating my daughter." The implication behind her words is, get out of my way!
Qiao Che looked at Qiao Si's stubborn face with deep eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth spread slightly.
She received his gaze, which seemed to tell her that Rachel was also his daughter.
"Rachel, don't make trouble, mommy will take you to the hospital..."
"I don't want...Uncle, save me..." Rachel was already pressing on Qiao Che's body.
After all, Qiao Si had nothing to do with Rachel and watched helplessly as her daughter fell into Qiao Che's arms.
Qiao Che gently pressed Rachel into his arms and comforted her with a warm voice.
At this time, the servant ran over with the medicine box.
Qiao Che gently said to Rachel, "Hey, sweetheart... let mommy hold you, and uncle will help you apply some red potion, okay?"
Rachel clung to Qiao Che's arms and refused to let go, "I don't want it, mommy wants to take me to the hospital for an injection."
"Uncle promises that as long as Rachel applies the red liquid, she won't have to go to the hospital for injections..."
Rachel slowly raised her head from Qiao Che's arms and asked Qiao Che innocently, "Uncle, will you lie to me like mommy did?"
Qiao Che shook his head, "Uncle will never lie to you... When has uncle ever lied to you?"
Rachel raised her painful palm and pointed, "Will it hurt if I apply the red potion?"
"It doesn't hurt...like being bitten by an ant."
Rachel thought seriously about what it would feel like to be bitten by an ant, and finally nodded obediently and reached out to Qiao Si, "Mommy..."
Qiao Si took Rachel, but she felt a little annoyed. Her daughter was indeed her father's mistress in his previous life!
Qiao Che took the medicine box from the servant and asked Qiao Si to hold Rachel and sit on the chair next to her.
Squatting down, Qiao Che spread out Rachel's palm and carefully wiped it with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.
Qiao Che is a doctor, and he knows very well how to wipe wounds to minimize the pain of the injured.
Sure enough, Rachel didn't say a word and looked at Qiao Che with a look of reverence.
Qiao Si sat on the chair, and although she deliberately leaned on the back of the chair to distance herself from him, she still smelled his delicious masculine scent.
His face is turned sideways, which just reflected his three-dimensional facial features...
Double eyelids, high nose bridge, thin lips, nice chin...
She couldn't describe him, but he was handsome.
Unknowingly, he had already taken care of the wound on Rachel's palm, "Okay..."
Rachel said very sensibly, "Thank you, uncle."
Only then did she come back to her senses and stood up holding Rachel in her arms.
He looked at her and said, "We need to take Rachel to the hospital to bandage it to ensure it doesn't become infected."
Joss remained silent.
Rachel had reached out to Qiao Che, "Uncle, I want you to hug me..." The little princess was not at ease with Qiao Si.
"good."
This time Qiao Si didn't insist anymore and let Rachel fall into Qiao Che's arms.
Rachel was particularly well-behaved in Qiao Che's arms, lying on Qiao Che's shoulder without saying a word.
Qiao Che said, "Let's go to the hospital." As he said that, he walked straight away.
Qiao Si hesitated for a long time, and finally followed him silently.
Qiao Che drove to the hospital himself, while Qiao Si held Rachel in her arms and sat in the passenger seat.
No one expected Rachel to fall asleep as soon as she got in the car, so the atmosphere in the car was extremely quiet.
Naturally, Qiao Si had no intention of talking to Qiao Che, she kept looking out the window.
"Is it cold?"
Qiao Che asked.
Joss didn't answer.
Qiao Chewu reached out and held Qiao Si's hand.
Qiao Si's hands and feet were already cold in the summer, but when the air-conditioning in the car blew in, the goosebumps on her arms had already turned cold.
The cold hand touched his warm palm, making her slightly startled.
This scene looks so much like before...
When she was cold, he would always hold her hand.
But at this moment, it is no longer the past.
He always gives her a sweet date after giving her a hard slap on the ear.
Such tenderness is not rare to her.
She pulled away from his hand distantly and said stubbornly, "It's not cold."
He didn't care about her indifference and took off his suit jacket with one hand.
"Cover it!" he said.
"unnecessary!"
"I asked you to cover Rachel."
"..."
He always seemed to put her in embarrassing situations.
After that, they had no conversation until the car drove to the entrance of the hospital.
Qiao Che got out of the car first and opened the door for Qiao Si, "Let me hug you..."
Qiao Si glanced at Qiao Che, hesitated for a few seconds, and hugged Rachel to him.
When it was someone else, Rachel just snorted and fell asleep soundly on Qiao Che's shoulder again.
Qiao Si took Qiao Che's suit jacket and followed Qiao Che into the hospital.
…
Almost everyone in the hospital knew Qiao Che. Qiao Che said a few words to a nurse, and then a trauma doctor personally received them.
As soon as the doctor came, Rachel woke up and felt extremely insecure in Qiao Si's arms.
"Mommy, where's uncle?" Little Sweetheart asked as she opened her eyes.
Qiao Si replied, "Uncle has something to do and will come over later. Just be obedient and let the doctor bandage the wound."
"oh."
Rachel's eyes moved around, looking for Qiao Che.
At this moment, Qiao Che was walking in the corridor of the hospital, and his head hurt again.
After taking two pills, which temporarily relieved the pain, he walked into the doctor's office.
The doctor had bandaged Rachel's wound, but the pain during the bandaging made the little sweetheart frown tightly.
Qiao Che walked over and rubbed Rachel's little head, "That's great!" Then his eyes fell on Qiao Si's face inadvertently.
She was silent, her face slightly pale, holding Rachel in one hand and holding her thigh tightly with the other.
Qiao Che frowned slightly, and the voice in his ear immediately told him the answer.
"Yes, that woman seems to be the Qiao Si who accompanied Li Chengyao to the banquet a few days ago..."
"Thanks to Li Chengyao for being so handsome and rich, how could he fall in love with Qiao Si?"
"She looks pretty..."
"That's not necessarily true. I think I'm prettier than her... Also, she also carries a small oil bottle. I don't know whose seed it is!"
"Yeah, I just can't understand how someone as good as Li Chengyao could fall in love with a second-hand commodity?"
"Qiao Si's reputation is not good... Look at her, didn't she shamelessly want to marry Guan Hao before? She also got engaged to Guan Hao in a very high-profile manner. Later, at the wedding, Guan Hao made a fuss about having an illegitimate child, and her face turned pale.
She was completely disgraced, but she still relied on Guan Hao...and now it's Li Chengyao, who knows if she has the fate to marry a wealthy family again!"
The soundproofing effect of the ward separated by the curtain was not very good, and the sounds of the two nurses chatting and discussing in the ward reached Qiao Si's ears so clearly.
Qiao Si's expression was calm, but the fingertips pinching her thigh turned white.
"Go home!" Qiao Che said.
Qiao Si nodded blankly, picked up Rachel, and said, "Can you help me look after Rachel? I want to go to the bathroom."
"Um."
…
In the bathroom, Qiao Si poured cold water on her face.
When she finally calmed down, she stared blankly at her water-stained face in the mirror.
She never wants much...
Why do people all over the world think she doesn't deserve happiness?
Is she really that annoying?
…
After adjusting her mood and coming out of the bathroom, there was nothing unusual about her face.
Qiao Che didn't even look at Qiao Si, and just said, "Let's go!"
Qiao Si froze in place, staring blankly as he hugged Rachel and left.
He obviously heard the conversation between the two nurses in the doctor's office just now, but he didn't care...
Yes, why would he care?
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Si followed him silently.
What Qiao Si didn't know was that there were two nurses sobbing in the dean's office at this moment. They didn't know the reason why they were suddenly expelled from the hospital.
