Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seemed they were tacitly agreeing to their suggestion that Aunt Lu keep an eye on Jiang Mian.

Lu Hong and Yan Ke knew Lu Bozhou's personality; if he disagreed, he would refuse directly.

Silence usually signifies acquiescence.

Lu Chaochi came out of the room after changing his clothes.

"Dad! I'm all better! Let's go!" Lu Chaochi said.

Although her voice still had a nasal tone from crying earlier, and her eyes were still red.

But their eyes were already sparkling with anticipation.

Lu Bozhou glanced at him, ever since he got involved with Jiang Mian.

The number of times the child called him "Dad" increased dramatically.

Lu Bozhou straightened up and led him out of the ward, without looking at his parents again.

When going from the VIP ward to the front ward.

Lu Chaochi held one of Lu Bozhou's fingers.

Seemingly hesitant, she cautiously spoke, "Dad."

Lu Bozhou glanced down at him.

I thought the child would ask about Jiang Mian, and I was just about to say that I would ask her myself when the time came.

But Lu Chaochi asked, "Dad, how did you get your hand injured? Does it hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou lowered his eyes and looked at the child.

It seems that after getting involved with Jiang Mian, the number of times this child shows concern for him has increased dramatically.

Lu Chaochi was used to his father's quiet nature and originally thought there would be no response.

A moment later, I heard a faint voice say, "It doesn't hurt."

Lu Chaochi was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. "When we go to see Mianmian later, Dad should bandage her up too."

Lu Bozhou gave a faint smirk, "Will you still care about me then?"

Lu Chaochi was stunned for a moment. He realized that his father's words seemed to have a hint of...joking.

My dad never used to talk to him like that.

They are mostly imperative sentences. They convey commands, notifications, and emphasis.

Lu Chaochi's tightly pursed lips curled slightly, and shallow dimples appeared on his face.

"Dad, don't be jealous of Mianmian."

When we arrived at the ward.

Jiang Mian was changing her dressing; the timing was really unfortunate.

The nurse is re-disinfecting and re-bandaging the wound on her finger; she's disinfecting it now.

The disinfectant was poured onto the wound, causing it to sting painfully!

Jiang Mian was trembling all over!

She fainted while being bandaged, which was done during her fracture surgery.

I didn't suffer that much.

Now I know what it means to have ten fingers connected to the heart!

Just then!

Lu Chaochi then came in.

"Mianmian!" He said with a smile, his steps light and quick, almost skipping.

She was also holding pretty balloons, a small bouquet of flowers, and a small fruit basket that she had bought at the gift shop.

Upon entering, I was greeted by a scene that was visually striking.

The wounds on her fingers where her nails had been peeled off were shocking!

And there's the metal 'cage' fixed to his right hand.

The smile froze on the child's face, and his little face turned deathly pale.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Oh, baby." Jiang Mian tried hard to suppress the groan that almost escaped her lips, and called him gently.

"It's okay, don't be afraid," Jiang Mian comforted.

Lu Chaochi pursed his lips, then suddenly turned around and vigorously wiped his eyes.

It was as if he didn't want her to see his tears.

"I...I'm not afraid. I don't want to look. I'll ventilate it for you after the nurse changes your dressing, okay?"

Her voice was trembling with tears, but the content sounded quite optimistic.

"Okay." Jiang Mian smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Suddenly, I felt that the pain, which had seemed unbearable before, had been relieved quite a bit.

The nurse smiled and said, "What a good baby. Don't worry, it'll be changed soon."

It was indeed bandaged up very quickly.

"All done," the nurse said.

Jiang Mian raised her five fingers, which were wrapped up round and plump.

She laughed and called to him, "Little Stone, look at me, doesn't my hand look like a frog's?"

Before turning around, Lu Chaochi had mentally prepared himself.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Jiang Mian raising her hand and saying this.

Lu Chaochi couldn't help himself for a moment, and his dimples appeared on his cheeks.

After the nurse left, Lu Chaochi quickly came up.

He didn't even dare to look at Jiang Mian's right hand.

She asked in a low voice, "Mianmian, why...why are you wearing a birdcage on your hand?"

"Because it's a fracture. We'll fix the broken bone and then wait for it to heal," Jiang Mian said.

Jiang Mian explained it in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, probably because she did it so simply and easily.

This greatly reduced Lu Chaochi's fear of the cage.

Lu Chaochi didn't ask if it hurt, because it looked like it was in a lot of pain.

"Thank you, Mianmian, for saving me," Lu Chaochi said, handing over the bouquet and balloons.

Jiang Mian laughed, but it was difficult to take it with both hands, so she patted the area in front of her and said, "Put it here."

Lu Chaochi put down the small bouquet of flowers and the small fruit basket.

Jiang Mian reached out and gently touched it, then paused, "This is..."

She noticed a rectangular box in the fruit basket, and upon closer inspection, realized it was a cell phone box.

Lu Chaochi said, "I chose the flowers and fruit basket, and my dad gave me the phone to give to you."

Jiang Mian was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Your phone is broken, right?"

"Hmm." Jiang Mian looked at the brand-new, latest high-end phone, her feelings somewhat complicated. "This seems too expensive."

She was a little worried. Worried that Lu Bozhou might be planning to fire her? This was some kind of compensation.

She couldn't help but worry, mainly because Lu Bozhou's previous attitude made her quite uneasy.

But Lu Chaochi sat down next to him.

"It's okay, Mianmian, don't worry." Lu Chaochi wanted to pat her hand, but when he saw the state of her hand, he hesitated.

He patted her calf very gently.

“My grandparents once said they would give you a sum of money and then fire you. So compared to that, this phone isn’t expensive.”

Upon hearing Lu Chaochi's words, Jiang Mian's eyes widened suddenly.

"W-what?" Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat!

Did her worst fears come true?

Although Lu Bozhou's attitude just now was ambiguous.

But how could she forget that his parents were no pushovers!

Lu Chaochi moved closer to her. "If I don't agree, there's nothing they can do."

Jiang Mian blinked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, and whispered, "You scared me to death."

But then Jiang Mian thought for a moment, "Then... what about your father? What did he say?"

“Dad agreed to it, otherwise he wouldn’t have given you a phone,” Lu Chaochi replied.

Jiang Mian's heart finally settled down.

But Lu Chaochi pouted and said somewhat unhappily, "But my grandparents are going to send Aunt Lu to our house later."

Jiang Mian was probably still a little confused because of the child's ups and downs in expression.

Hearing the child's words, she asked blankly, "Asparagus? What asparagus?"

Just then, a soft, suppressed laugh came from the doorway.
