Chapter 3850: Chapter 3838: The Pain Behind It
"That’s a good point, we really should think of a way to make it up to them."
Yan Ci looked at Lin Yi with enchanting eyes, "I can handle this for you, but you have to do me a favor."
"Help you have a child? I’d be willing to do that."
"It’s not about whether you’re willing or not, it’s something you must do." Yan Ci said with a smile to Lin Yi:
"But the favor I need from you is something else."
"Go ahead, I’ll definitely help you with it."
"The company is currently promoting a newcomer, a singer who’s just debuted, can we get her to your place to get some face time?"
"That’s not a big issue, but you know our budget, we can’t offer much money, although I can chip in from my own pocket for her."
"No need to pay, it’s free of charge. These newcomers are in the stage of accumulating fame, just need exposure on major variety shows, so there’s no need to pay."
"If you put it that way, then it’s no problem at all."
"It’s settled then, wait for my news, I’ll get back to you soon."
"All right."
After discussing business, Yan Ci arranged some things in the office with Lin Yi, then let him leave.
After leaving Yan Ci’s company, Lin Yi didn’t go back but went to see Li Chuhan, planning to have dinner with her that evening.
Upon arriving at Inpatient Department Eight, just stepping out of the elevator, he saw Li Chuhan hurrying past him.
"What’s going on? Why so rushed?"
Seeing Lin Yi, a look of delight appeared on Li Chuhan’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a worried expression.
"A child’s condition is not very good, I’ve got to check on it, you wait for me a bit."
"Take care of the important things first, don’t worry about me."
Li Chuhan nodded and hurried towards the ward.
With nothing to do, Lin Yi headed to the nurse’s station to tease the young nurses.
Just then, Lin Yi saw a woman rushing out of a ward towards the nurse’s station.
"Nurse, can I borrow a blood pressure monitor?"
"You must be a relative from room 807." The nurse said as she handed over the blood pressure monitor.
"Thank you, nurse."
At first, Lin Yi didn’t think much of it, but when he saw the woman, he was truly surprised.
She was none other than Wu Xiaomei, whom he had seen earlier that morning.
Feeling Lin Yi’s gaze, Wu Xiaomei also noticed him, with a hint of panic in her eyes, but she said nothing and left with the blood pressure monitor.
Lin Yi watched her go into room 807.
He still remembered that Li Chuhan had just entered room 807 a moment ago.
"That woman just now, does she have a family member hospitalized here?"
"It’s her daughter, just four years old, with dilated cardiomyopathy," the nurse said with a bit of helplessness.
"That’s no minor illness..." Lin Yi mumbled.
"The rope always breaks at its thinnest point, it seems like their family’s financial situation isn’t great, and now their child has this illness. I heard they’re preparing to sell their house."
"So that’s the situation, you go ahead, I’ll take a look around elsewhere."
Saying goodbye, Lin Yi turned towards room 807.
Peering through the door window, Lin Yi saw Li Chuhan and another director standing by the bed, discussing the child’s condition.
Wu Xiaomei and her husband stood nearby, with anxiety and worry clearly written on their faces.
About twenty minutes later, Li Chuhan came out with the others.
"Did you wait long?" Li Chuhan apologized.
"Not at all, how is the child’s condition?"
"Not very good, surgery needs to be done urgently, but their family can’t come up with that much money right now."
Li Chuhan appeared relatively calm, having seen through many things after years in the hospital.
Just as Lin Yi said, there are some things one simply can’t help with or completely solve, and all they can do is try to do their best with the responsibilities they have.
"I guess in this situation, selling the house is the only way, otherwise there’s no chance."
Li Chuhan nodded, "I heard the couple discussing the matter, but it’s uncertain when they can sell it."
While chatting, the two of them returned to the lounge.
Li Chuhan sat wearily in a chair, "I feel like my stamina is getting worse lately, I should start exercising again."
"It’s not your stamina, it’s just that the workload is too heavy. If you can take a break from work, maybe you should go for a trip."
Lin Yi stood behind Li Chuhan, massaging her shoulders as he slowly said:
"Even though you’re the stabilizing force of the department, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible to go on without you. Rest when it’s time to rest, or you’ll break just like a coil that’s been stretched too long."
"I know, don’t worry."
Knock knock knock——
At that moment, there were knocks at the door, followed by the voice of a nurse from outside.
"Director Li, the patient in room 803 doesn’t seem right, please come take a look."
"Okay, got it."
Li Chuhan stood up, fastened the buttons of her white coat.
"Wait for me here."
"Go ahead."
Li Chuhan left, and with nothing to do inside, Lin Yi also went out, slowly walking to the door of room 807.
Wu Xiaomei sat on a chair wiping her tears, her husband stood by, continuously making phone calls.
Lin Yi pushed the door open, and both husband and wife looked towards the entrance, surprised to find that Lin Yi had come in.
Wu Xiaomei’s husband immediately put down the phone and pointed at Lin Yi’s nose, shouting.
"Don’t go too far, coming here to demand money? Get out, or I’ll beat you up in the hospital."
Lin Yi didn’t get angry, instead, he patted Wu Xiaomei’s husband on the shoulder.
"I’m here to see a friend and just happened to run into you."
Lin Yi walked to the bed, looked at the child’s condition, and checked the indicators on the monitors.
The situation was indeed not optimistic.
"Journalist, please don’t push us anymore, all the money at home has gone into the child’s medical treatment, and we still owe over a hundred thousand yuan in debt, we really have no money left, we’re trying to sell the house, once it’s sold we can pay back."
"Where are you selling your house?"
"I posted some flyers by the roadside, just got some inquiries."
"Putting up flyers isn’t reliable, add me as a friend, and give me your house information. I have a friend in the real estate business, I’ll ask her to help sell your house."
Hearing this, the couple looked at Lin Yi in astonishment, not expecting him to step forward and help them.
"Don’t look at me like that, let’s treat business like business. You need to pay for the damages to the car, but that doesn’t stop me from helping you sell your house." Lin Yi said:
"I’ll also help you start a charity initiative to raise about ten or twenty thousand for medical fees, which should be manageable. The hospital’s other policies can also save you some money, so don’t look so worried. Although the illness is serious, as long as the surgery is done in time, there’s no big problem."
With a thud, Wu Xiaomei knelt down in front of Lin Yi.
"Thank you so much, comrade!"
