the third chapter
"Aiyo! Han, are you scalded?" Wang Fengying was shocked. She went forward to snatch the cup from Mo Zihan's hand, but the latter avoided her without a trace and calmly placed the cup on the table.
Opening her palm, it was already red, but Mo Zihan's face did not change at all. It was as if such a degree of burning pain was still within her tolerance range.
Wang Fengying was shocked. She went forward to check her palm, but Mo Zihan had already gently retracted her palm and clenched it into a fist. She smiled and said," I'm fine."”
On the other side, Mo Junqiang had just recovered from his shock. He bared his teeth and rubbed his scalded palm. As the hot water splashed on his hand, it caused a few red spots to appear.
"I'm going to find a doctor to apply some medicine. Is Xiao Han okay?”
"I'm fine." Mo Zihan shook her head gently and leaned against the headboard. She held the bowl of porridge that her mother had brought and slowly drank it. Although it was an extremely ordinary bowl of porridge, the elegant and calm posture in her hands made it seem like she was drinking a bowl of expensive soup.
As he ate the porridge, Mo Zihan was puzzled. She wanted to grab hold of that familiar feeling, but that feeling flew further and further away.
Gradually, Mo Zihan closed his eyes and gently rubbed his aching forehead.
Wang Fengying stood at the side, staring blankly at her daughter who was eating porridge. At this moment, this thin girl seemed to naturally exude an unapproachable aura. Especially when he was making every tiny movement, whether it was eating porridge, blowing air, or gently rubbing his forehead…
It seemed…it seemed to have a kind of magnanimous grace. Although his body was thin and small, he had an indescribable sense of coordination.
Wang Fengying stood in front of the hospital bed. She gulped and said uneasily," Xiao Han, can I call the doctor over to take a look?"”
Immediately, Wang Fengying threw the feeling of discomfort to the back of her mind. She thought, What's wrong with me? Was he crazy because of his own daughter?
Wang Fengying didn't care whether Mo Zihan agreed or not. She strode out of the ward and went to find the doctor.
Her footsteps were loud and clear, especially in Mo Zihan's ears. She opened her eyes and looked at Wang Fengying's back as she left. A warm smile appeared on her face.
By the time Wang Fengying returned, Mo Zihan had already finished the porridge in his bowl, but he hadn't touched a single piece of salted vegetables on the table.
The doctor walked into the ward with the medicine." How could you be so careless? How dare you take such hot water?”The doctor placed the medicine on the bed and took out a cotton swab. He asked Mo Zihan to open his palm.
The palm slowly opened, but it was still red and normal. It didn't look like it had been scalded at all.
Wang Fengying was also stunned. She had clearly seen her daughter's palm turn red, and there were water stains on the outside of the paper cup. This meant that when Mo Zihan caught the blanket, she must have been scalded by the water stains on the cup. She had lived for a long time, so she believed that she could tell if it was a burn. However, her daughter's palm was normal now.
Mo Zihan was also slightly stunned. When she caught the cup just now, she was indeed scalded by the spilled hot water. When she held the cup, it was already bubbling. Why did it return to normal so quickly?
The doctor was stunned for a moment before putting away the medicine." Where are you scalded?”
Wang Fengying grabbed Mo Zihan's hand and checked it thoroughly. She then shook her head and mumbled," I was clearly scalded…"
After the doctor left, his uncle had already returned. Behind him was a short man. He was thin and slightly tanned. There was a clear difference between him and the tall Mo Junqiang, but their mold was somewhat similar.
He was Mo Zihan's father, Mo Junbao. He was the fourth and youngest child in the family.
Because he was the youngest, he had been spoiled since he was young. He had not studied much and was always bossing around. He was also very proud of his face. He felt that it was embarrassing to work outside, so he had always stayed at home and not earned money. However, he wandered outside all day, leaving early and returning late. Every day, he would come home drunk and was good at bragging. He belonged to the lowest class in society.
Mo Junbao loved to dress up. Every time he went out, his hair would be polished and he would even spray some men's perfume. He wore a clean white shirt, blue tights, and a pair of clean black leather shoes.
At this moment, he walked into the ward with his short legs. His leather shoes made a tapping sound on the ground. He looked around the ward from the corner of his eyes. It seemed that the environment here was unbearable for him, and he despised the patients who lived here. Finally, he looked at Jun Qiang." Why are you here?”
Mo Junqiang looked down at him from the corner of his eyes." I came to see Zihan. Look at what you've done to the child!"”
Mo Junbao chuckled." How can I beat my own child to death?" I know how hard I'll hit you." Then, she turned to look at her daughter who was leaning on the hospital bed." If there's nothing else, get out of the hospital as soon as possible. Your mother's salary is all on you."”
Wang Fengying immediately turned around and said anxiously," Look at what you did to the child! Do you know what's going on? You're beating him to death! The doctor had said that the child had already passed out from shock! Do you know about concussions? Do you know what a concussion is? Do you know what shock is?"
Mo Junbao frowned in disgust." What are you arguing about?!" If you have something to say, go home and talk." Mo Junbao disliked his wife's loud voice the most. She was a joke to others.
Wang Fengying cursed with tears in her eyes," Why did I marry a bastard like you?!" I was blind back then! Because you cut ties with your family, I…I…"
Mo Junbao panicked when he heard that." What are you making a ruckus for?!" Hurry up and refund the hospitalization fee first. If there's anything, go home and talk!”
Mo Zihan sized up Mo Junbao. She did not like this man and even despised him. A man who could let his wife work outside while he only knew how to enjoy himself, what kind of good thing could he be?
However, she knew that her family was in a difficult situation, so she lifted the blanket and got off the bed. The corners of her lips unconsciously curled up into a playful smile." Mom, I'm fine. I'm much better."”
"Aiya, quickly lie down. The doctor said that you can't move around.”Wang Fengying's expression changed as she turned around to comfort Mo Zihan.
Mo Zihan had already gotten out of bed. For some reason, her body had recovered very quickly in the past two days. Now, she had no problem getting out of bed and walking around. She was only slightly dizzy because of malnutrition.
Mo Junbao saw this and said," Do we have to refund the hospitalization fees or something? Where's the bill? I'll refund the money. Zihan and I will go home first.”Then, he walked towards Wang Fengying.
Wang Fengying scolded angrily," Do you still have a conscience?!" His own daughter was injured to this extent, yet he only knew how to make money!”
Mo Junbao immediately raised his eyes." How are you going to eat if you don't have money? Yes! You're rich!"
Mo Junqiang, who was standing at the side and watching coldly, said," I'll take the hospitalization fees. But if Zihan is really fine, it's best to go home and recuperate. You can't stay in a hospital for too long. Even the good people have already died!”
Mo Junbao glanced at him." How can I let you take it out?"”
Mo Junqiang waved his hand as if he was chasing away a fly." You don't have to worry about it."”
Mo Junbao was instantly delighted. At the same time, Mo Zihan had already whispered a few words to Wang Fengying before turning around and walking out.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly. Mo Zihan stepped out of the hospital and covered his eyes with his palm to block the dazzling sunlight. Before he even walked out of the hospital, he seemed to have already felt the peaceful atmosphere of this small city.
Trying to accept this kind of life, it seemed…not bad.
