Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 53 - 53 53 Doubt

53: Chapter 53 Doubt 53: Chapter 53 Doubt Song Xiaoru said in a soft voice, “I know you’ve always held a grudge against our third uncle and his family, but so many years have passed, and after all, he is our third uncle, our elder.

Now that he’s inviting us over, we should try to get along with relatives.

Let’s try to make things better.”

Song Xiaodong snorted, “I don’t see it getting any better.

Maybe they just want to show off in front of the relatives again.”

A twitch flickered at the corner of Song Xiaoru’s mouth as she said, “Dongzi, don’t always think the worst of people.

Besides, back then everyone’s circumstances weren’t so good.

It’s their right not to help us; we can’t expect them to do so.”

Song Xiaodong put down his chopsticks and said, “Sis, I’m not that petty, but whenever I think of how they fought over the inheritance and forced us into this tiny house when we were both under ten, forcing us to rely solely on ourselves, I just can’t accept this so-called kinship.”

“Aren’t we doing quite well now?

Stop holding their past actions against them.

If our parents were alive, they wouldn’t want us to be estranged from our relatives.”

“Hmph, why didn’t they think of mom and dad back then and treat us a little better?”

Song Xiaoru opened her mouth but said nothing.

How could she not have her own grievances about the past?

But she was always easygoing and forgiving, too readily forgiving others.

Now that life felt manageable, she preferred not to be angry about past issues.

Seeing Song Xiaoru’s troubled expression, Song Xiaodong sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll go tomorrow.

If they are like before, then I’ll just skip out on future gatherings with them.”

Song Xiaoru’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

“Great!

Let’s leave at five o’clock tomorrow afternoon.

You can pick me up outside my office.”

Song Xiaodong, seeing his sister happy, didn’t find the thought of visiting their third uncle so difficult anymore.

Making his sister smile was worth any other trouble.

The next day, Song Xiaodong went to the hospital early.

Li Gang, the fatso, wasn’t there, but several doctors were in the ward, which made him tense up.

Seeing Lin Su’er, the young nurse, by the door, he immediately asked, “What’s happening?”

Lin Su’er looked at Song Xiaodong with obvious admiration in her eyes and said, “The doctors came to do rounds this morning, and it seems like they don’t believe the patient’s condition has improved.”

Song Xiaodong relaxed, having thought something might have gone wrong with Wang Xiaoqiang’s health.

Since there was no issue, Song Xiaodong didn’t move forward but just stood in the back.

“This can’t be possible!

How could this be?” Cao Mingxian had waited all night, hoping to hear that Wang Xiaoqiang’s condition had deteriorated, but when he came for the morning rounds and saw Wang Xiaoqiang looking rosy-cheeked and spirited, hardly like a sick person unless he was lying in bed, Cao Mingxian just couldn’t accept it.

“Exactly, it’s too unbelievable.

Could it really not be a ruptured spleen?”

“Right, right, it must be something else, otherwise a few silver needles couldn’t have done the trick.”

The other two doctors also expressed their disbelief in succession.

Another doctor hesitated before saying, “But yesterday, Vice President He declared it to be a ruptured spleen.

Could Vice President He be wrong too?

His diagnostic expertise is authoritative in our hospital.

If he dares to say something, it’s almost never wrong.”

Cao Mingxian immediately responded indignantly, “Dean He can’t be one hundred percent accurate, can he?

I think he definitely misdiagnosed this time.

A ruptured spleen that doesn’t need surgery to heal?

That’s just nonsense.”

“This…” The doctors didn’t say it outright, but they clearly agreed with Cao Mingxian.

Their years of medical experience told them that this situation defied their medical knowledge.

Lin Su’er turned her head and saw He Wenbai approaching, immediately greeted him, “Vice President He!”

He Wenbai nodded, but his gaze was fixed on Song Xiaodong, with evident excitement, he said, “This gentleman is also here, I wonder if you have some time, can we talk?”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and replied, “In a while, I want to check on my brother’s condition.”

“Of course, I’ll join you to see, I’m also very curious about the patient’s recovery.”

When the two of them walked in, the doctors stepped aside, their faces showing a trace of concern, they had been facing away from the door and didn’t know if Vice President He had heard what they were saying.

Song Xiaodong only grasped Wang Xiaoqiang’s hand, squinting his eyes, and then let go.

He Wenbai took Wang Xiaoqiang’s pulse, and then checked the evening’s medical records.

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes at everyone and finally turned his gaze to Song Xiaodong’s face, saying, “Dongzi, with so many people looking at me, I’m not about to kick the bucket, am I?”

Song Xiaodong knocked on his head and replied, “Kick the bucket?

Your name is Xiaoqiang; you have the life of a Xiaoqiang.

It’s not that easy for you to die.”

Wang Xiaoqiang grinned and said, “Then why are so many people surrounding me?

I feel like they’re going to treat me like a guinea pig and take me to the lab for dissection.”

He Wenbai laughed and said, “Well, considering the patient’s condition, a simple examination shouldn’t be a problem, right?

I don’t know what Mr.

Song thinks?”

He Wenbai had gone back the day before and had made a point of finding out Song Xiaodong’s name.

Song Xiaodong said helplessly, “If we don’t do a checkup, it seems you people will never stop.

Xiaoqiang, just cooperate with them.”

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Dongzi.”

The doctors quickly arranged to take Wang Xiaoqiang for an examination, and Song Xiaodong followed, not wanting to let these people do whatever they pleased.

Confirming a rough state of health would be enough.

While they were taking X-rays, a group of doctors followed into the room.

They could directly see the condition through the equipment and didn’t need to wait for the films to be developed.

Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er stood outside.

Lin Su’er blinked her bright, large eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, curiosity shining in her eyes, she said, “It seems like this time, you’re going to become a celebrity in our hospital.”

“Really?” Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, not taking the situation seriously.

In domestic circles, not many knew of his medical skill, but those who did were aware of his prowess, and the fortunate few who received his treatment were notable individuals.

These doctors, in Song Xiaodong’s eyes, really didn’t count for much, and such flattery was nothing to him.

“Of course it’s true, didn’t you see how actively Vice President He is participating?

He is clearly curious about your medical skill.”

“You don’t think I’m a fraud?” Song Xiaodong asked with a slight smile.

“That Doctor Cao has always thought I’m a fraud.”

Lin Su’er blinked and then flashed an even brighter smile, saying, “I quite believe in you now, I was your assistant at that time, you know.

You can’t deny it later on.”
