Is Chapter 224 really that serious?
As soon as Jiang Zhouzhou entered the ward, she saw Lin Chen's miserable and pitiful appearance. Her gaze fell on his arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages.
His furrowed brows revealed his worry: "Lin Chen, how did you get such a serious injury?"
During the phone call, Lin Chen only mentioned that he was injured and hospitalized, but did not mention the reason for the injury.
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Chen looked up at Jiang Zhouzhou with a pitiful expression.
"Don't worry, Zhouzhou. I hurt my arm by accident. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
He deliberately moved his tightly bandaged arm forward so that Jiang Zhouzhou could see it more clearly.
Look at him! He's so pitiful. If you linger on him for a few more seconds, feel sorry for him!
Just then, a fruit basket was gently placed on the table, interrupting his attempt to elicit sympathy.
Yin Yue smiled slightly and said, "How can you be such a grown-up and still not be able to take care of yourself?"
It was just a simple greeting, but Lin Chen could hear a subtle sarcasm in it.
It seemed like they were deliberately mocking him, saying that at his age he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone others.
Lin Chen's eyes turned cold. This wretched American cockroach was deliberately trying to sow discord in front of Zhou Zhou.
He responded with a forced smile, "We young people are sometimes a bit clumsy in our actions, unlike Mr. Yin who is so mature and composed."
The implication is that he is old.
Yin Yue nodded: "It's not something to ignore that you've carelessly ended up in the hospital. It might be caused by other problems that are causing your limbs to malfunction. You need to have a thorough check-up. If any problems are found, you can get timely treatment."
Lin Chen: "..."
What words!
This American cockroach is openly cursing him, isn't it!
Jiang Zhouzhou blinked, feeling that the atmosphere had suddenly become strange.
Fortunately, the nurse arrived at that moment, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Jiang Zhouzhou asked the nurse, "Nurse, how is Lin Chen's injury? How long will it take to heal?"
With her beautiful features and soft voice, she exudes a harmless and approachable aura, making people instantly like her.
The nurse who had initially complained about Lin Chen's neurotic behavior suddenly understood.
The man glanced at Lin Chen lying on the hospital bed and winked at her.
The nurse received the signal and replied in a formulaic, polite voice: "The patient's connective tissue is severely injured, and there is a risk of keratin shedding, causing massive bleeding from the wound. Although there is no bone fracture, there is joint dislocation and multiple soft tissue injuries. However, the injury has been temporarily controlled, and there is nothing seriously wrong at the moment."
Jiang Zhouzhou was stunned. How could she make it sound so serious yet so insignificant?
The assistant outside the door was also stunned. It was clearly just that his little fingernail got caught in the door, but he was being talked about as if it had been run over by a car.
So this is what professionalism is all about!
Yin Yue, who understood, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
As for Lin Chen, he switched to playing the victim mode again, staring longingly at the fruit basket.
"Zhouzhou, I want to eat an apple."
I want to eat an apple that Zhouzhou peeled herself.
Having said that, he raised his arm like a mummy.
Jiang Zhouzhou: "Okay, I'll go wash the apples first."
Jiang Zhouzhou picked out the biggest and reddest apple from the fruit basket and went to the bathroom in the ward to wash it clean.
Just as she was about to peel the fruit with a fruit knife, Yin Yue reached out his hand.
"Let me do it! The fruit knife is sharp. I don't want you to cut your hand, damage your skin, rupture blood vessels, cause infection, and end up with your whole arm bandaged up like a mummy in a hospital bed."
With each word he uttered, Lin Chen's lips would twitch.
Jiang Zhouzhou laughed awkwardly: "No way... that's an exaggeration!"
I feel like bringing Yin Yue to the hospital was a mistake...
The tense atmosphere was palpable!
The ward fell silent, save for the soft scratching of a fruit knife as it peeled an apple. Yin Yue gripped the knife tightly in one hand and held an apple in the other.
The silver blade slowly peeled away the bright red fruit skin, like a slow knife cutting flesh. The movement was pleasing to the eye, yet it inexplicably gave rise to a sense of dread.
Once a whole apple was peeled, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yin, but I suddenly feel like eating an orange."
Yin Yue remained calm and smiled composedly, "It's alright. Young people are just like that, fickle and unpredictable. They say one thing and think another. They're not stable. I can understand."
Lin Chen was speechless again: "..."
He says one thing, and the other person says ten, each word like a fruit knife, as if they want to slowly torture him.
"Zhouzhou, since he doesn't want to eat the apple you picked out yourself, you can have it!"
Yin Yue handed the apple to Jiang Zhouzhou and also put in a drop of eye drops.
"Ah."
Jiang Zhouzhou took the apple, glanced at Lin Chen, and then silently took a bite.
Lin Chen sensed that Zhouzhou was a little angry, after all, his behavior just now was obviously a bit childish.
"Zhouzhou, it's not that I don't want to eat apples, it's that I suddenly want to eat oranges," Lin Chen explained.
Jiang Zhouzhou opened her little mouth and took another bite of the apple with a "crunch".
Before Lin Chen could say anything more, the ward door was pushed open again...
