Chapter 669: Don't Touch My Daughter
Chapter 669: Don't Touch My Daughter
Inside the house
Li Xiuxian was holding the unconscious Zhou Ying and arguing with Liao Ruixiang's second sister!
Her hand was covering the back of Zhou Ying's head, covered in blood.
Li Xiuxian, panicking, her hands trembling slightly:
"Do you have a reason? How do you teach your son? He snatched my daughter's toy and pushed her down. Do you still have a reason? I’m telling you, if anything happens to my daughter today, I’ll make your son pay with his life!"
Liao Ruixue was hugging her son, looking at the slap mark on his face, furious:
"Children fighting over toys is very normal, right? He didn’t do it on purpose. How can an adult hit a child? Besides, this is the Liao family, not the Zhou family! Why did you bring your daughter from your previous marriage to the Liao family? If you hadn’t brought her, nothing would have happened!"
"Why can’t I bring my daughter here? This is my home! You, a married daughter, shouldn’t be coming back to your parents’ house so often to cause trouble! You shouldn’t bring your son back either! Besides, it was Liao Ruixiang who asked me to bring Yingying! He said my daughter is his daughter too!"
Liao Ruixue turned to Liao Ruixiang: "Little brother, tell me! Can I not come back to this house anymore?"
Li Xiuxian: "Ruixiang, you better get her out of here right now!"
Liao Ruixiang, exasperated: "Can you stop arguing?!"
Li Xiuxian: "Will you get her out or not? Oh, my stomach hurts, I’m so angry my stomach hurts! Liao Ruixiang, will you get her out? Do you want to upset our son?"
Liao Ruixiang was frustrated, here we go again!
Zhou Chengsen quickly walked in, seeing Yingying lying on the ground with her eyes closed, Li Xiuxian half-holding her, her hand covering Yingying’s head, covered in blood.
Li Xiuxian’s clothes and the floor were both stained with blood.
His legs went weak!
Jiang Xia reached out to support him, then seeing Yingying like this, she panicked and called out: "Dr. Ruan!"
Ruan Tang was already crouching down with her medical kit, taking out gauze and cotton balls.
Seeing Ruan Tang with the cotton balls and gauze, Li Xiuxian instinctively recoiled: "Don’t touch my daughter!"
Ruan Tang: "I’m a doctor, I need to check on Yingying and stop the bleeding first."
"No! Zhou Chengsen, take Yingying to the hospital."
Zhou Chengsen shouted: "Shut up!"
Li Xiuxian: "…"
Zhou Chengsen then said to Ruan Tang: "Dr. Ruan, please continue, I’ll assist you."
If anything happens to Yingying, he won’t let Li Xiuxian or the Liao family off!
Ruan Tang used gauze and cotton balls from her medical kit to cover Yingying’s wound and stop the bleeding, then said to Zhou Chengsen: "Carry Yingying to the car and take her to the hospital in the city right away."
The clinic in Zhen Shang likely doesn’t have an ambulance or many of the necessary medical devices.
Zhou Chengsen carefully lifted his daughter and walked out.
Jiang Xia had already run out to open the car door.
Zhao Chenglei had already turned the car around and, seeing Yingying’s condition, his eyes narrowed.
Once they were all in the car, Zhao Chenglei stepped on the gas, and the car sped off.
Inside the house, Li Xiuxian followed them out.
Liao Ruixiang held her back: "You’re in a delicate condition and your stomach hurts. You won’t be able to help if you go."
Liao Mother, seeing the blood on the floor, muttered: "What bad luck!"
Hearing this, Li Xiuxian’s anger flared up again!
She started arguing with the Liao family again.

In the car, Ruan Tang, though not a surgeon, was not entirely ignorant of surgery. She had studied it.
She had also learned traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis.
She took Yingying’s pulse in the car and sighed with relief, "The bleeding has stopped. A blow to this area isn’t too serious. It shouldn’t be as bad as we think. Yingying must have fainted from shock or has a mild concussion. We’ll need to do further tests at the hospital to be sure."
Ruan Tang’s medical skills weren’t as advanced as Gao Jie’s, and neurosurgery wasn’t her specialty. She couldn’t be entirely sure everything was fine without an X-ray.
But seeing how worried they were, she decided to offer some reassurance.
Nurse Li also comforted them: "It looks like a superficial injury. Her head should be fine."
Nurse Qiu nodded and added: "It’s probably a superficial injury, no need to worry too much."
As medical professionals, they had seen many similar cases, but patients and their families, lacking medical knowledge, often became scared and anxious.
Because patients don’t understand, they tend to assume the worst.
Zhou Chengsen looked at his daughter and simply nodded.
Jiang Xia thanked them.
Ruan Tang used a cotton ball to clean the blood off Yingying’s face.
Despite the poor road conditions, Zhao Chenglei managed to reach the hospital in less than half an hour.
Under Ruan Tang’s direction, Yingying was quickly taken for an examination.
She personally entered the examination room to review the X-ray results.
Soon, she came out, "Don’t worry, there’s no brain hemorrhage. Just a mild concussion. She’ll need to be hospitalized for observation."
Yingying was quickly brought out and taken to have her wound re-dressed.
Ruan Tang followed in to assist.
After the wound was dressed and an IV drip was administered, Yingying was taken to a ward and soon woke up.
Opening her eyes, she saw the IV drip bottle and immediately started crying: "I don’t want a needle, I don’t want a needle…"
Ruan Tang held her down and comforted her: "Yingying, don’t move. The needle is already in, if you pull it out, we’ll have to do it again. It really hurts! Ask your dad, he knows!"
Yingying: "…"
Zhou Chengsen: "…"
Jiang Xia: "The bravest girl I know is Yingying. She’s not afraid of snakes, so she won’t be afraid of a needle. I’m scared of snakes, but I’m not afraid of needles. Yingying, you’re not scared, right?"
Ruan Tang added: "Yingying is the bravest child I know. She won’t be afraid of a needle, right?"
Yingying looked at both of them, feeling like she was being tricked again!
She glanced at the needle in her hand, now not afraid anymore since it was already in.
"Right, I am brave, I’m not afraid of needles. I’m not afraid of snakes, so how can I be afraid of a needle? I’m braver than Auntie, who’s scared of lizards."
Yingying stopped fussing about the needle but didn’t move her hand with the needle in it.
Seeing her daughter crying and fussing, Zhou Chengsen finally breathed a sigh of relief, holding her hand: "Yingying, you’re so brave, braver than Dad! If your head gets hurt and you don’t get the needle, you might become silly. We need to listen to the doctor and not be afraid of needles in the future."
Yingying only then realized her head hurt.
"Dad, my head hurts." She touched the wound with her free hand.
Zhou Chengsen held her hand: "I know, don’t touch it. The pain will go away after the needle. Yingying, be brave and bear with it."
Zhou Chengsen decided he wouldn’t let Li Xiuxian take Yingying away again.
Yingying thought of something and instantly became tense, "Dad, where’s my game console? That cousin from the Liao family took my game console."
Ruan Tang picked up the game console from the bedside table: "Here it is!"
When she was getting her medical kit, she saw the game console on the floor. Knowing it was Yingying’s and hearing Li Xiuxian arguing with someone, she realized Yingying must have been fighting with a boy over the game console, which led to her head injury. Afraid Yingying would cry for her game console when she woke up, she picked it up.
Children cherish their beloved toys so much; if they lose them, they start crying. She had seen this too many times.
Yingying sighed with relief.
Yingying, who always told Zhou Chengsen everything, said: "Dad, that cousin from the aunt’s house is so bad, he took my game console! I don’t want to play with him anymore."
Seeing Yingying awake, Ruan Tang thought Zhou Chengsen might want to talk to her and that they hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so she said: "I’ll go get some food."
Jiang Xia added: "I’ll go with you."
Zhao Chenglei: "I’ll make a call home."
Thus, the three of them left the space for the father and daughter to have some time alone. (End of Chapter)
