To be honest, Wu Tian was very handsome, and unlike those effeminate celebrities. His handsomeness was of a proper kind, and coupled with his tanned skin, he exuded masculinity. Zhao Xiaoli had previously had some disagreements with Wu Tian, so this was the first time she was looking at him so closely. In that moment, she seemed to finally understand Wu Tian's handsomeness, and her delicate little face flushed red.
"Hey, what are you rubbing against my chest for?" Wu Tian's voice came from above. "Are you out of your mind?"
Zhao Xiaoli suddenly came to her senses. Only then did she realize that her face was actually pressed against Wu Tian's chest, rubbing back and forth like a cat. It was all Wu Tian's solid chest, which gave her a sense of security. She quickly got out of Wu Tian's embrace, touched her burning face, and said nervously, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Wu Tian looked at her with confusion, then reached out and touched her forehead. "Hey, why do I feel like something's not right with you? Do you have a fever?"
"What are you doing!" Zhao Xiaoli's heart tightened, and she quickly took a step back. If it were any other time, she would have cursed him out, but at this moment, even her "What are you doing!" sounded soft and tender, like a pampered complaint to a lover. It's over, it's over... she thought to herself, blushing, could I have fallen for him?
Zhao Xiaoli's strange reaction naturally made Wu Tian even more confused. However, he didn't have a very good impression of this girl. It would be good enough if she didn't cause him trouble, so he couldn't be bothered to ask more. The two of them went down the mountain and then went their separate ways.
Wu Tian rested at home for a while. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Bai Xue again. He remembered that Bai Xue had left in a hurry before and wondered what had happened. He had a good relationship with Bai Xue, so he naturally cared about her. Thus, he got up and went to Bai Xue's house to see if she had returned. However, when Wu Tian arrived, he found Bai Xue's door tightly shut, and Bai Xue had not yet returned.
"Strange, what's going on?" Wu Tian said in confusion, taking out his phone to call Bai Xue. "Hello, Sister Bai Xue, when are you coming back?"
Bai Xue, on the other end of the phone, sounded very dejected. She said in a low voice, "Wu Tian, my dad had a car accident. I'm at the hospital."
"A car accident?" Wu Tian was startled. "What's the situation now? Is he out of danger?"
Bai Xue said, "The doctor said not yet. We are at the county's People's Hospital."
Wu Tian nodded. "Okay, wait for me. I'll be right there!" After saying that, Wu Tian hung up the phone and headed to the county town.
Upon arriving in the county town, Wu Tian bought two bags of fruit at the hospital entrance and then carried the fruit to the ward. At this time, Bai Xue's father had not yet woken up. His body was covered in bandages, and he looked very serious. After Wu Tian put down the fruit, he went to the corridor with Bai Xue.
"Wu Tian, thank you for coming to see me," Bai Xue said softly.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "We are neighbors. Since we are neighbors, we should care for each other!" "By the way, what exactly did the hospital say about your dad's situation?"
Bai Xue's face darkened considerably. She lowered her head and said, "Dad was hit by a car while walking. The driver fled the scene and hasn't been found yet." "The doctor said Dad's condition is very bad. He injured his head, and even with surgery, he might not wake up..."
As she said this, Bai Xue became very sad, and tears fell from her eyes. Seeing this, Wu Tian also felt uncomfortable. Bai Xue's family was not well-off, and they didn't have medical insurance at home. It was likely they couldn't afford the surgery. Moreover, even if they had surgery, it might all be in vain. Such a situation was truly terrible.
Just as he was about to comfort Bai Xue, a laugh suddenly came from nearby. "Bai Xue, why are you sitting here? Aren't you going in to take care of your father?"
Wu Tian looked up and saw a doctor in a white coat. This doctor was named Li Gan, in his fifties, with a receding hairline and a small mustache, looking quite sleazy. As soon as she saw him, Bai Xue's delicate body trembled slightly. She quickly wiped away her tears and said with a stiff expression, "Dr. Li."
Li Gan put on a concerned look and said, "Bai Xue, why are you crying? Are you alright?"
Bai Xue quickly said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Dr. Li."
Li Gan sighed and shook his head. "With what happened to your father, how could you be alright?" "You are just too strong-willed." His gaze swept over Bai Xue's curvaceous body, and the corner of his mouth turned up slightly. "By the way, have you thought about what I asked you to consider last time?"
"This..." Bai Xue's expression changed, and she said with a blush, "Dr. Li, didn't I refuse you last time?"
Li Gan shook his head and chuckled. "Bai Xue, you can't be like this." "You know very well how much the surgery and medical expenses for your father are." "If you don't agree to me, what will happen to your father?"
Bai Xue became distressed. She bit her pale lips and couldn't speak for a moment. Wu Tian sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Sister Bai Xue, what is he talking about?"
Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said in a very small voice, "Dr. Li told me last time... if I could accompany him, he would waive the surgery fees..."
"What?!" Wu Tian was stunned. This so-called "accompanying him" meant sleeping with him, didn't it? Unbelievable, how shameless can one be! He immediately stood in front of Bai Xue and said righteously, "Dr. Li, you are a doctor, you should have medical ethics. What you are doing is wrong!"
Li Gan finally noticed Wu Tian. He frowned and said, "Who are you? I'm talking to Bai Xue, what business is it of yours? Are you looking for a beating?"
Wu Tian was not afraid of him and said sternly, "I advise you not to be so arrogant, or I will report you!"
"Report?" Li Gan laughed disdainfully, his eyes full of contempt. "Do you think I'm afraid of that? Do you still think you're doing a good deed?" His gaze passed over Wu Tian and he smiled coldly at Bai Xue. "Bai Xue, you'd better think carefully." "Your father hasn't woken up yet, and I'm the only one in the entire hospital who can perform the surgery." "As long as you satisfy me, everything will be fine, but if you want to be stubborn with me, then your father might never wake up!"
Bai Xue's expression became even more rigid. Her lips trembled slightly; she was clearly terrified by Li Gan's words. Seeing Li Gan speak so directly, Wu Tian understood that this old bald man must have harmed many beautiful girls before. Wu Tian's anger surged, and he said angrily, "Sister Bai Xue, let's go! I'll treat your dad!"
