Chapter 128: Chapter 89 Doctor Gu’s Personal Care

Bei Ran and Xiaoyu returned home together, and Tian Xin and Tang Baijin also went upstairs with them.

Tian Xin poured a glass of water for Tang Baijin, "Young Master Tang San, have some water!"

Tang Baijin nodded, then looked towards Bei Ran who was sitting in a wheelchair: "I’ll stay and take care of you!"

"No need, Baijin!" Bei Ran shook her head: "I’m fine. It’s just a slight sprain, Tian Xin taking care of me is enough!"

Tang Baijin walked over to her wheelchair, crouched down, and gazed at her: "Isn’t it better to have one more person to take care of you?"

"I know, after what happened with Zong Zheng, you all are worried about me!" Bei Ran looked down, "Don’t worry, I can still hold on! Besides, I want some peace!"

"Alright then!" Tang Baijin said, "If there’s anything you need, just let me know."

Tang Baijin sat for a while then left, and Tian Xin cooked dinner.

"Why don’t you let Tang San stay and take care of you?" Tian Xin picked up his chopsticks, "It’s obvious that he can’t let go of you!"

Bei Ran started eating, "Since I no longer love him, why should I give him any illusions and let him fall into the bittersweet sea of love again! Past love, whether happy or painful, is just like a book; after flipping to a new Chapter, what’s left are just bitter and sweet memories. It’s just that, Baijin always wants to start over!"

Tian Xin nodded, calling Xiaoyu to dinner: "Xiaoyu, stop playing with toys, come and eat!"

That evening, Bei Ran completed some work matters at home using her laptop.

Three days later, she tried to stand on her foot. Although it was a bit painful, it was alright and was almost healed!

She had to plan and host a wedding on the island soon, so she needed to be in her best condition for work.

After being busy for a whole day on the island, Bei Ran found that her sprained foot was hurting more!

After the wedding ended, she went straight to the hospital.

Since it was after office hours, she could only see the emergency department.

Today, in the emergency department, Gu Qingchen happened to be on duty.

He raised an eyebrow at Bei Ran: "What happened?"

"My foot hurts a bit..." Bei Ran hastily said.

Gu Qingchen gripped her ankle, examined it, and sternly rebuked: "You didn’t come back for a follow-up at the hospital, nor did you listen to the doctor’s advice. You wore high heels and stood for a long time. Do you want your ankle to swell even more, or do you want to cripple this leg?"

Bei Ran angrily said: "Doctor Gu, please be nicer, otherwise I’ll file a complaint against you!"

Where’s a doctor so harsh on a patient!

"Fine, go ahead and complain!" Gu Qingchen pinched her ankle, making Bei Ran almost cry from the pain!

Gu Qingchen, with a cold expression, ordered the intern: "Take her for an X-ray!"

After Bei Ran got her X-ray done, she asked the doctor who took the X-ray: "How is my ankle? Is it serious, doctor...?"

"Leave it to your attending doctor to see!" the X-ray doctor said.

As Bei Ran was being wheeled back by the nurse, she took out the X-ray films to look by herself, but looking left and right, she couldn’t make heads or tails of them.

After Gu Qingchen saw the X-rays, he told the nurse: "Arrange for her to be admitted! Also, go buy a pair of slippers!"

"What?" Bei Ran screamed, "Gu Qingchen, is it that serious?"

The nurse hurried off to handle Bei Ran’s admission procedures, and Bei Ran looked at this man, who after finishing his sentence, simply ignored her!

"Gu Qingchen, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?" Bei Ran said angrily.

Gu Qingchen stared at her: "Just behave and receive treatment in the hospital. Stop wandering around in high heels, and remember, work isn’t everything in life. For a wedding case, to end up like this again, is it worth it?"

Bei Ran looked back at him: "Yes, I put a lot of effort into this wedding case, and how could I ask them to postpone their wedding? Work may not be everything, but for common folks like me, being without a job isn’t an option. It’s different for a Crown Prince like you!"

"Didn’t you sell that villa? You are already a multimillionaire, do you still care about that salary of a few thousand, less than ten thousand a month?" Gu Qingchen’s eyebrows shot up.

"I care!" Bei Ran asserted, "I really care!"

"Does Tang Baijin also lack this bit of money? Hasn’t he given it to you?" Gu Qingchen’s eyebrows had become a straight line.

Bei Ran huffed: "Why would I want his money!"

The other implication of her words was that she only wanted his, Gu Qingchen’s, money, right!

Just then, the nurse knocked and entered: "Director Gu, Miss Bei’s hospital admission has been processed!"

Bei Ran looked at Gu Qingchen: "Have I ever said I wanted to be hospitalized? I only knew the police station could detain suspects for 48 hours by force, but who knew hospitals could forcibly admit patients as well?"

Gu Qingchen had long been aware of her sharp-tongued nature.

Gu Qingchen glanced at the embarrassed nurse standing aside and said, "You go ahead with your duties; I’ll handle this."

The nurse closed the door, and Gu Qingchen then leaned forward, placing his hands on her wheelchair, looking down at her from above, quietly staring at her exhausted and lovely face.

Although she had makeup on, dark circles were still faintly visible under her eyes. If he wasn’t mistaken, she had been staying up late over the past few nights.

Moreover, she had been busy at the wedding scene today, tired and on her feet all day.

"You don’t have to stay in the hospital! Bei Ran, if you don’t mind that I perform the next amputation surgery, you are free to leave now," Gu Qingchen said fiercely.

Bei Ran was startled; she didn’t know her ankle injury was so severe. However, she also didn’t know what to make of Gu Qingchen; she couldn’t tell if he was just scaring her or if he meant it.

If she really needed an amputation, not only would she never be able to wear beautiful shoes and dresses again, but she wouldn’t even be able to move around easily and would need personal assistance. How could that work?

Seeing her expression, Gu Qingchen knew she was willing to stay.

"Let’s go to the ward now!" He gave her a private room to rest properly.

After instructing the nurse to apply the medication, he left.

Bei Ran, too, was exhausted after a day’s ordeal, lying in the hospital smelling of disinfectants. She didn’t care much and fell into a deep sleep.

Because she had drunk quite a lot of water that evening, she woke up in the middle of the night needing to...

She turned on the room light switch, put one foot on the ground, and as she tried to follow with the other foot, the pain was quite intense.

Bei Ran couldn’t help but groan lightly, so she pressed the bedside bell. The nurse’s voice came through: "What’s the matter?"

"Send someone to help me up, I’ve fallen onto the floor!" said Bei Ran.

The nurse responded immediately: "Coming right away!"

As Gu Qingchen returned from another ward and saw the nurse hurrying towards Bei Ran’s room, he strode over: "What happened?"

"Doctor Gu, the patient said she fell on the floor, I’m going to check now..." Before the nurse could finish, Gu Qingchen pushed open her room door.

There was Bei Ran sitting on the floor, trying to push herself up with her hands, but she couldn’t muster the strength.

"Let me help you..." the nurse stepped forward.

Gu Qingchen extended his hands to lift her, placing her sitting on the bed, "Did you hurt anywhere else?"

"No..." Bei Ran shook her head.

Gu Qingchen signaled the nurse to go busy herself elsewhere. He gave Bei Ran a look; her sleeping posture was always odd, alone at home she could roll from one end of the bed to the other.

But how could a hospital bed compare to the comfortable beds at home?

"Why did you send the nurse away?" Bei Ran noticed the nurse had left.

Gu Qingchen stared at her: "You’re fine now, why do you need a nurse? Do you think she only looks after you?"

The last thing Bei Ran wanted was to provoke him!

"I need a nurse, I need to go to the restroom!" Bei Ran said.

So it turned out she needed to urgently go! Gu Qingchen sighed internally.

"Come on, I’ll take you," Gu Qingchen reached out to carry her.

Bei Ran quickly withdrew back into the covers, "No need!"

Gu Qingchen raised his proud eyebrows, "Even if we are not related as ex-wife and ex-husband, we are in a doctor-patient relationship, what are you hiding from?"

"What do I have to hide?" Bei Ran glared at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, tired of arguing with him in the middle of the night. "I want a nurse, is that not allowed?"

"The nurse is busy!" Gu Qingchen said indifferently.

Bei Ran clearly didn’t believe it; doctors might be busy, but were nurses as busy as doctors?

Gu Qingchen stared at this stubborn woman, "Reports indicate that holding in urine can lead to uremia. You know what that is without my explanation. Also, if you don’t want to go to the restroom, I can install a catheter for you..."

"Gu Qingchen—" Bei Ran turned her head, her face flushing as she glared at him, "I’m not so disabled that I cannot move, I definitely don’t need a catheter..."
