Chapter 1137: What About the Childs Father?

Zhu Siyuan had been in pretty low spirits the last couple of days. It was clearly because of his dad. Ning Shu just took this in without saying anything.

After the military doctor training, Ning Shu headed to the hospital. She glanced towards the head nurse standing next her, then walked over to the counter to pour a cup of water. Head Nurse, are you busy?

The head nurse was a woman in her forties and she was quite cold towards Ning Shu. No.

Head Nurse, I heard that your son is in college right now. He truly has boundless prospects. Ning Shu said mildly, My child is still so little and the world is so chaotic right now. I dont even know what to do in the future.

Children have always been the most effective way to pull two women closer. Sympathy appeared on the head nurses face and her tone became slightly gossipy. Its indeed quite hard for a woman like you to raise a child on her own. What about the childs father?

Ning Shus eyes became red. My husband went to attend college, but theres been no news from him for a very long time. I suspect that hes already dead. In addition, my hometown became too chaotic, so I came to Shanghai with the child to try to avoid that chaos, and while at it, look for the childs father.

Ning Shu started talking about her background again, making her story as mournful as possible. The head nurse hastily comforted Ning Shu.

Following that, Zhu Siyuans pitiful background story started spreading amongst the doctors and nurses. Even people interested in gossip would no longer ask Zhu Siyuan about his father. When they saw Zhu Siyuan, theyd even occasionally give him some small cheap toys.

For the time being, Ning Shu didnt want Zhu Yanqiu to find out about her and Zhu Siyuan. She didnt know how much hed flip out. He might even try to chase them out of Shanghai. Right now, Ning Shu just wanted to work hard to learn medical knowledge so that shed be able to achieve a good record on the battlefield.

As for Zhu Yanqiu, didnt he look down on Zhu Suniang? So she was going to make Zhu Suniang an existence everyone respected.

Ning Shu carried a was.h.i.+ng basin into the sick room and said to Zhu Yanqiu, How do you feel today?

When Zhu Yanqiu opened his eyes and saw Ning Shu, his expression instantly worsened. A lot better.

Ning Shu set down the basin and helped tidy up Zhu Yanqius blanket, then she wrung out the handkerchief and started wiping Zhu Yanqius face and hands. Zhu Yanqiu saw that Ning Shu was relatively gentle this time. He glanced at her mask. Why are you always wearing a mask?

Zhu Yanqiu sized Ning Shu up. He couldnt shake off the feeling that this person seemed familiar. However, he couldnt recall where he had seen her before.

Zhu Yanqiu never even considered Zhu Suniang. He could believe it if Zhu Suniang knew how to make tofu, but Zhu Suniang becoming a nurse? There was only one word: impossible.

Furthermore, Zhu Suniang should be back at his hometown, not in Shanghai. However, recalling her caused his heart to instantly be filled with fury. Zhu Suniang didnt send him telegrams anymore and also didnt send him money. He had sent multiple telegrams home but no one ever replied.

Zhu Yanqiu had already decided. Once he got better, he was going to make a trip home. It couldnt be that something had actually happened at home, right? Moreover, he didnt have any money left, so he had to go home to get more money.

Ning Shu didnt speak and just wiped Zhu Yanqius arm with the warm towel. As the towel pa.s.sed by his wrist, Zhu Yanqiu suddenly felt an abnormally sharp pain. He hastily retrieved his hand and looked at his wrist. There was no wound, so he didnt know why it hurt.

What did you do? Zhu Yanqiu shouted towards Ning Shu angrily. He flipped his hand back and forth but there was no injury nor any blood. However, it hurt a lot.

Ning Shu looked at Zhu Yanqiu, baffled, then said in a speechless tone, Did you hit your head? I didnt do anything.

Zhu Yanqius brows were tightly furrowed as he said, I dont want you to help wipe my hands. I want a different nurse.

Ning Shu picked up Zhu Yanqius other hand and started wiping it. The hospital short on hands. Ill leave after I wipe this hand for you and next time you can choose whichever nurse you want to look after you. Ive never seen a man who makes such a fuss about every little thing.

Owww... Zhu Yanqiu flung off Ning Shus hand. His wrist really hurt. The place that the nurse had wiped really hurt, there were countless stabs of pain underneath his skin.

Ning Shu looked at Zhu Yanqiu with extreme disdain, then tossed the handkerchief into the basin, picked it up, and left. Before leaving, she even muttered, Does he really think hes some rich young master? It hurts just to get his hands wiped? Why doesnt he just ascend to Heaven?

Zhu Yanqiu was so infuriated that his face was ashen. He shook out his hands, but his wrist still hurt a lot. Furthermore, this pain was spreading to the tips of his fingers, causing both his hands to be painfully swollen.
