We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

Wen Zhixia nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Director. I will definitely not delay my work."

The week passed quickly.

This morning, Wen Zhixia came to check on the ward.

With the treatment of the burn department, Li Qin has escaped the critical period and can eat a little.

"Are you feeling okay now?" Wen Zhixia asked her concernedly after roughly checking the wound. "Does your throat hurt? Does your stomach hurt?"

Li Qin is unable to speak due to esophageal burns and can only communicate with Wen Zhixia by nodding and shaking his head, and using "hmm" and "ah" expressions according to the parts of his body that Wen Zhixia mentioned.

"It's okay. Being able to eat and listen is a good sign," Wen Zhixia encouraged her. "Li Qin, your body's self-healing ability is very strong, and all your indicators are very stable. You must keep working hard, okay?"

Li Qin hummed a few times and nodded to express his gratitude to her.

After leaving the ward, Wen Zhixia saw Li Qin's co-worker Wang Jinmei coming towards her.

She has been accompanying Li Qin in the inpatient department all this time. After Si Shengli got into trouble, she even took a leave of absence and stayed here to keep him company. She told Wen Zhixia a lot about Li Qin's situation.

"Doctor Wen, has Si Shengli come out yet?" Wang Jinmei looked at Wen Zhixia warily. "Can you change Li Qin's ward so Si Shengli can't find her?"

Judging from her expression and tone, Wen Zhixia vaguely felt that something was wrong. She pulled Wang Jinmei over and said, "Let's go to the lounge and talk."

After entering the lounge, Wen Zhixia closed the door and brought some bread and tea to Wang Jinmei. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have something to fill your stomach first."

Wang Jinmei took a sip of tea and said, "Among the doctors I often see, you, Doctor Wen, are the most approachable. There are some things I dare not tell others, and I feel uncomfortable holding them in alone, so I want to find someone to talk to."

"Don't worry, tell me," Wen Zhixia comforted her, "Li Qin is so lucky to have a friend like you."

Wang Jinmei glanced outside warily and whispered to Wen Zhixia, "That Si Shengli is no good. He owes money gambling, and Li Qin has no family. The medical expenses are huge. Si Shengli can't even pay his own debts, so how could he possibly help her pay?"

Wen Zhixia also had such doubts in her heart. She knew that Si Shengli was a gambler, and the fate of such a gambler would be nothing more than the separation of his wife and children, or the destruction of his family.

However, as a doctor, there are some things that cannot be said directly, especially to the patient's relatives, and you have to choose your words carefully.

So she thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, Si Shengli didn't let us intubate Li Qin, saying that he was worried that his wife would suffer. I think he cares about Li Qin a lot."

"He doesn't care!" Wang Jinmei stamped her feet in anger. "I think he wants Li Qin to die quickly so he can use the insurance company's compensation to continue gambling!"

Wen Zhixia quickly made a hushing gesture, asking her to speak more quietly.

Wang Jinmei continued, "Li Qin was often beaten by him when she was at home. Si Shengli was ten years older than her. He didn't have a proper job and loved gambling. Li Qin's monthly salary of several thousand yuan at the factory was not enough for himself, so he gave it all to him for gambling."

"I'm worried that Si Shengli will have no money to spend after he gets out, and he thinks Li Qin is just wasting money lying around," Wang Jinmei said. "Do you think he'll steal Li Qin away while you're away?"

A few years ago, there was indeed a case in the Medical University Affiliated Hospital where a patient's family did not want to pay the medical bills and secretly ran away with the patient in the middle of the night. Later, the hospital gave in and sponsored the patient, and only then was the family coaxed back.

Wen Zhixia quickly shook her head. "No, there's access control and night patrols now. Plus, with what happened to Si Shengli a few days ago, security is now at its strictest."

Seeing that Wang Jinmei was still worried, she comforted her, "But I know what you're talking about. I'm on night shift these days, so I'll help keep an eye on you."

Wang Jinmei was still hesitant to speak, but in the end she said nothing. She just shook Wen Zhixia's hand and said, "Thank you, Doctor Wen. I'm nearby recently. If you have any questions, please come to me, not Si Shengli."

Wen Zhixia nodded, "You should also pay attention to rest."

After Wang Jinmei left, Wen Zhixia reviewed what she said and felt a little worried.

According to Li Qin's current condition, there is still a large amount of medical expenses to be paid. Although the insurance company has paid part of the compensation, it is still a drop in the bucket.

If Wang Jinmei's description of Si Shengli is true, then the subsequent treatment will be very difficult.

As she thought about it, she walked towards the department, ready to discuss it with Director Wu again.

When passing by the corridor where she met Si Shengli last time, Wen Zhixia saw several tall and strong men looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if they are wearing simple short-sleeved shirts and long pants, you can still see their strong arms and firm muscles.

Thinking that the news of Fu Ruoshi coming to the hospital to find her had spread throughout the hospital, Wen Zhixia thought that these people were just gossiping about her and didn't take it to heart.

Gossip will soon pass.

After returning to the department, Wen Zhixia mentioned what Wang Jinmei said to Director Wu and asked the logistics department to strengthen night shift patrols and security.

Two nights later.

A sneaky man entered the inpatient department, passed the front desk and tried to sneak inside.

"Hello, sir. Who are you looking for?" Xiaoya looked up and said, "Nighttime visits require registration."

The man turned around slowly, which scared Xiaoya.

After not seeing him for a few days, Si Shengli had lost a lot of weight and his face was swollen, as if he had been beaten.

"Why are you here?" Xiaoya stared at him warily, "Weren't you detained?"

Si Shengli laughed dryly and said, "It's out, it's out."

"Come and register." Xiaoya said, "You are not allowed to enter without registration."

After Si Shengli finished registering, Xiaoya notified the security department and sent a message to Wen Zhixia who was on duty next door.

The moment Si Shengli saw Wen Zhixia appear in front of him, his legs felt a little weak.

"Doctor Wen, you are so magnanimous. Please don't argue with me!" He almost knelt down before Wen Zhixia, "I was blind and didn't know you were..."

Wen Zhixia quickly interrupted him, "Li Qin has fallen asleep. Please come back tomorrow during the day. Don't disturb other patients' rest. Let's go."

Si Shengli's swollen face twitched.

He didn't dare to conflict with Wen Zhixia, so he could only nod and walk outside.

Several hours passed.

In the second half of the night, the inpatient department was completely quiet.

When Li Qin was half asleep, he felt as if there was someone beside him.

She thought it was Wen Zhixia and was about to open her eyes to "talk" to her when she suddenly saw an ugly face appear in front of her.

"what!"

Si Shengli's swollen face looked particularly terrifying under the dim night light. Li Qin didn't even get a chance to shout before Si Shengli covered his mouth.

"Tell me your bank card password." Si Shengli lowered his voice, "Or I'll suffocate you to death!"
