After a moment, he hung up the phone and told Tiantian.
"I'm sorry. Can you get another taxi back? I have an urgent matter to attend to at the hospital."
Naturally, Tiantian thought of the sick child again.
She subconsciously glanced at the time. It was nine o'clock in the evening again.
"Going to the hospital so late?"
Chen Dongyang's brow furrowed. "The child has a fever. Here, take the umbrella. I'm sorry."
Tiantian didn't think there was anything to be sorry about; he wasn't intentionally leaving her.
However, thinking of the hospital last time, she felt it necessary to remind Chen Dongyang.
"May I be so bold as to ask what illness the child has? Why do they have to go to the hospital every few days?"
It was indeed rather impolite. Chen Dongyang clearly didn't want to tell her.
He silently lowered his gaze, closed the laptop, and put it into his bag, pretending to be busy.
Tiantian had no choice but to explain, "I didn't mean anything else. It's just that I know someone at the First People's Hospital. The First Hospital's reputation is much better than the Third Hospital's. If you need anything, I can help you make a connection."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongyang quickly looked up, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise as he met her gaze.
"Then... will it be too much trouble for you?"
Given their acquaintance, it wasn't worth Tiantian using her connections for him.
But who could she blame? It was for a child. If she could help, she would.
"It's no trouble. Hurry up and tell the driver the address."
The two of them went to Changjiang West Road together again.
Just like last time, they picked up the woman and the child by the roadside.
Chen Dongyang put the child into the car, the woman sat in the back seat, and he moved to the front passenger seat.
The rain outside grew heavier. The woman held the child in one arm and the umbrella in the other, getting wet.
After getting into the car and seeing Tiantian was also there, she was surprised at first, then apologetically said sorry to her.
Tiantian said it was fine, "I'm wet myself anyway."
Then she reached out and touched the child's forehead. It was really hot.
She asked the woman about the child's illness and which department to register for, so she could inform her acquaintance in advance. The woman seemed a bit taken aback.
She didn't know Tiantian was going to help, so Chen Dongyang turned to explain to her.
"Miss Jiang has an acquaintance at the First People's Hospital, so she decided to accompany us. Please explain the situation to her."
"Oh, is that so?" The woman nodded gratefully at her and then quickly explained.
Tiantian then learned that the child had congenital heart disease and could not get overly excited.
However, as he grew older, he was now in his infant-toddler rebellious phase, insisting on doing many dangerous things. The woman dared not indulge him, and their back-and-forth would make the child angry, and when angry, he would faint.
This was the second time it had happened recently, and she was terrified.
Tiantian called the hospital director in front of them, briefly describing the situation. The director said he would personally come to work overtime.
When they arrived, they were to go directly to the director's office in the cardiology department.
After the call, Tiantian said the director would personally see them, and the woman was overjoyed.
"Director Gao Yajun of the First People's Hospital?"
"You've heard of him?"
"He's a renowned expert in cardiology. Heavens, I never dreamed I'd be able to get an appointment with him one day. Miss Jiang, thank you so much."
Tiantian felt it was nothing. If she could truly help them, then her unlucky day would have a perfect ending.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. When paying, Chen Dongyang handed the laptop bag to the back seat.
Since the woman was holding the child and couldn't carry it, Tiantian took it.
After paying, he got out of the car first, took off his jacket, held it over his head, then opened the rear car door and took the child into his arms.
Tiantian and the woman got out closely behind, and the three of them ran in the rain.
Fortunately, the outpatient building wasn't far, and Chen Dongyang had long legs, rushing in with a few strides.
Upon entering, the clothes on his head obstructed his vision. Tiantian quickly stepped forward, took the jacket off him, and pressed the elevator button.
The office was on the third floor, and they were upstairs in seconds.
Tiantian led the way and soon found Director Gao.
Director Gao looked serious and had already arranged a hospital bed. He placed the child on it and asked if they had brought the medical records.
The woman was suddenly dumbfounded, "We need the medical records too? We didn't bring them."
"How can you be such a muddle-headed mother? Without the records, at this hour, I can't examine the child thoroughly to analyze his condition. Quickly, quickly! Go back and get the medical records. I'll arrange for him to have an emergency examination first."
The woman, already frail and nervous, almost couldn't stand when she heard this.
Tiantian understood her feelings and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, don't worry. With Director Gao here, nothing will go wrong."
"You can't go back. If the child wakes up and can't find you, it'll be trouble. I'll go get them for you."
The woman tremblingly took out a key from her pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you, thank you. My home is, my home is..."
She was too nervous, her mind blanking, and she couldn't speak clearly.
Chen Dongyang walked over seeing this, "You stay here and watch him. Do as you're told. I'll go get them."
After speaking, he extended his hand to Tiantian, "Give me the keys."
Tiantian placed the keys in his hand.
Director Gao led the nurses pushing the bed towards the emergency room, and Tiantian followed.
"Uncle Gao, you drove here yourself, didn't you? Could I borrow your car?"
"It's in my jacket pocket, in the office. Go get it yourself."
Chen Dongyang had already run out. Tiantian ran to the office, got the keys, and told the woman.
"It's inconvenient to take a taxi, so I'll drive with him to get them. I'll be going now. Don't be nervous."
As the elevator door opened, Tiantian caught up.
Chen Dongyang was momentarily stunned, thinking something else had happened. Tiantian jingled the car keys in her hand.
"It's late and hard to get a taxi. Let's drive to get them. I'll go with you."
They had left in such a hurry that they forgot to ask Director Gao where his car was parked.
It wasn't until they reached the entrance of the outpatient building that they remembered, but he had already entered the emergency room, likely without his phone. They'd have to find it themselves!
Tiantian gritted her teeth and was about to dash out into the rain. Chen Dongyang stopped her.
"Your clothes are already wet, don't get soaked again. Wait for me here. I'll go find it."
After speaking, he put his jacket on Tiantian, snatched the car keys, and rushed into the rain.
Tiantian waited anxiously, thinking that a Porsche wasn't something just anyone could drive, and some people wouldn't even know where the start button was. She worried he might stall the car in his nervousness.
Less than two minutes later, Director Gao's Porsche pulled out from a row of parked cars.
Chen Dongyang flashed the car lights, and she put her coat over her head and walked over.
The car stopped steadily in front of her. She opened the door, got into the passenger seat, and before she could even fasten her seatbelt, Chen Dongyang floored the accelerator.
However, he was driving blindly, unfamiliar with the area. It was only as they approached the main entrance that he said to Tiantian.
"Please open the navigation for me, thank you. I'm not very familiar with the roads around here."
Tiantian opened the navigation and only then realized how skilled he was at driving.
