Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 200 - 200 200 Emergency First Aid

?Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Emergency First Aid Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Emergency First Aid Xiaofen turned and ran, not knowing where she could go! It felt as if the whole wide world had no place for her, as her own father and grandmother now wished she were dead! Perhaps without the living expenses, she was the least welcome person. She had thought her father and grandmother were kind to her, but now she realized it had always been her seemingly heartless and unrighteous biological mother who had been the best to her. If not for the monthly living expenses from her mother, she probably would have been treated like this long ago.

But now her mother had stopped providing living expenses too, probably because she had always spoken coldly to her over the years, never showing any affection, so she felt she didn’t want to care for her anymore, right?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped the living expenses out of the blue.

So now, no one cared for her.

Xiaofen felt the cold wind as she walked; she had rushed out so quickly that she hadn’t worn much warm clothing, and by now, her nose was blue, and her face was swollen from the cold.

Walking on the street as it was about to get dark, everyone passed by in a hurry, no one noticing a young girl.

Her stomach hurt more and more, the place where Fan Jiancheng had kicked her now radiating an unbearable pain, and even in the depths of winter, sweat was dripping down her face.

What should she do?

Xiaofen trudged on, and it seemed to her as though the unspeaking eyes of Chui Li she had seen that day suddenly made sense; it was a look of helplessness mixed with pity. Perhaps everyone in the world disliked her, but even with all her faults towards her biological mother, Chui Li still cared for her greatly.

With dragging steps, she headed towards the hospital, perhaps the only place where Chui Li would welcome her now.

Upon reaching the entrance of the hospital, a security guard came out and inquired after noticing something was wrong with her, “Young girl, what are you doing? The hospital is about to close. Ah, are you feeling unwell? Where are your parents?”

Xiaofen looked up at the guard with difficulty, her vision blurring to the point that she was seeing double, and she weakly uttered, “I’m looking for my mother, Chui Li!” before collapsing limply to the ground.

The guard was startled to see the young girl fall to the ground, and the passersby couldn’t help but turn their attention to see someone collapsed at the hospital entrance.

“Someone come quick, there’s someone who’s fainted here!” The guard felt wronged; he had only approached the girl because she had seemed off, and now he was caught up in this mess. If people misunderstood and thought he had frightened the girl into this state, he would be blamed unfairly.

People immediately gathered around. It was the end of the working day at the hospital; many were pushing their bicycles home, and others were leaving to run errands, all stopping to look.

The guard quickly picked up Xiaofen. “Let’s take her to the emergency room!”

Nobody knew what had happened.

“What happened here?” someone asked. As the guard lifted Xiaofen, everyone could see the dried blood matted in her hair and her face so swollen it was unrecognizable, not to mention the bruises on her face and body.

She looked as if she had been abused, and everyone took notice.

The guard gave a wry smile. “I don’t know either! This young girl came over, I just asked her a question, she said she was looking for her mother, Chui Li, and then she fainted.”

“Chui Li, the doctor? Oh, I remember now, isn’t this young girl the very one who made a scene at the hospital at noon, Chui Li’s own daughter?”

“Yes! We remember, too. How could it have come to this in just half a day? Hurry, take her to the emergency room!”

“Good heavens, I’ll go and notify Doctor Chui, she was just in the department changing her clothes.”

People clumsily carried Xiaofen into the emergency room.

Chui Li had just changed her clothes and was about to leave when someone in the corridor started calling her name.

“Chui Li, Chui Li! Your daughter is in the emergency room!”

Chui Li was startled, “Emergency room?”

“How is that possible?”

“What happened?”

She spun around and dashed out, and as soon as she left her department, she bumped into the person looking for her, who grabbed her and hurried her away.

“Your daughter seems to have been beaten! She’s covered in blood, and she fainted right at the entrance of our hospital. They’ve taken her to the emergency room now.”

“Who injured her? What happened?” Chui Li’s heart was in turmoil, her mind even more so.

“Go and see for yourself, no one knows exactly what happened!”

Chui Li ran all the way to the emergency room, where she saw two doctors coming out, shaking their heads.

Her face turned pale; it couldn’t be that there was no hope left.

“Xiaozhang, Xiaoyao, how is my daughter?”

Her heart pounded so hard, she felt like it would burst out of her chest, fearing their answer would be the worst case scenario she could imagine.

As soon as Xiaozhang and Xiaoyao saw Chui Li, they had already heard that this girl was Chui Li’s own daughter, with her biological father.

“The child is covered in wounds; it’s quite tragic to see. The most critical issue is her peritonitis, likely caused by a perforation due to a kicked intestine. We’ve performed emergency treatment. Go in and take a look; she’s about to enter the operating room. You’ve arrived just in time. You are the Head of Surgery, will you perform the operation yourself, or shall we do it?”

Chui Li clenched her teeth, “You do it!” As a family member, she was worried whether she could endure such a surgery emotionally.

……

An hour later, Xiaozhang and the others came out, “Doctor Chui! The surgery was very successful, and she can now be transferred to the intensive care unit. As long as nothing happens in the next twenty-four hours, she should recover normally.” Seeing that Chui Li was too tense to speak, they quickly reassured her.

Chui Li gripped her colleague’s hand tightly, “Thank you, thank you!”

Xiaozhang had already left but then turned back, speaking softly to Chui Lu, for everyone in the hospital knew about Chui Li’s situation, and he meant well.

“Doctor Chui, although this time the child looked to be in danger, now you need to quickly preserve the evidence. All of this can prove that the child’s father and grandmother have been abusive. It’s best if you call the police immediately, so the evidence is conclusive from the outset. The child must have been truly desperate to come to the hospital for help. Having evidence will give you plenty of reasons to regain custody of the child through legal action.”

This was a heartfelt suggestion, also out of fear that Chui Li was too flustered to think clearly. After all, bystanders often have a clearer perspective. They had just learned of Chui Li’s situation, and seeing such a malicious man and mother-in-law for the first time was truly shameless. Given the current situation, it was even more important to protect the child.

A chill ran through Chui Lu’s heart; she hadn’t even considered this. She nodded gratefully, “Thank you, Xiaozhang!”

“We’re all from the same hospital, there’s nothing to thank me for. What’s important is that the child stays with you. I don’t think your ex-husband is a good person; he probably doesn’t care much for the child.” Xiaozhang reminded her before he left.

Chui Li went to the intensive care unit and, looking at her daughter still in a coma, picked up the phone to call the police.

Of course, she also called the security department; this wasn’t just a matter for the police station, but also for those from their hospital. Xiaofen’s case also concerned Chui Lu’s child; she couldn’t be treated like this without anyone caring.

She somewhat regretted being too weak before. If she had found a way to take the child into her care sooner, none of this might have happened. Perhaps this was the so-called ‘better a short pain than a long one.’
This time, she was determined to make that family pay.
