Qiao Ruan didn't expect that in this ward, there was only a six or seven-year-old boy looking at the little girl.

Qiao Ruanbo pursed her lips: "Little brother, I just want to ask you, did you see everything that happened over there just now?"

As Qiao Ruan approached, the little boy became even more timid, pursing his lips and backing away.

Qiao Ruan could see the fear in his eyes. She didn't want to force a child, but this was the only thing that could prove her innocence. Even if Chief Qin really came, she couldn't assume that a child would lie!

Despite her stomach pain, Qiao Ruan squatted down and looked at the little boy with tender eyes. "Little brother, is the person lying on the bed your sister?"

"Yes."

When his younger sister was mentioned, the little boy's expression finally softened slightly. "My sister has a fever."

Qiao Ruan continued to soothe her gently, "Your sister has a fever, why are you the only one here watching over her?"

“My parents had to go to work, and my grandma didn’t want to spend money. I begged my mom, and she finally brought my little sister here for an IV drip.”

For a moment, Qiao Ruan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She grew up in the countryside and experienced many times when she felt helpless, especially with children in rural areas who often die young. Parents who cannot afford treatment will give up and even choose to have another child rather than place all their hopes on one child!

The problem of backwardness in rural areas remains unresolved, and Qiao Ruan never expected that such a phenomenon would also occur in cities.

Qiao Ruan lowered her gaze slightly, concealing the emotions in her eyes: "How about I come down later and help you take a look at your little sister?"

The little boy remained wary, seemingly frightened by Qiao Ruan's facial wounds and disheveled hair. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

Qiao Ruan was slightly taken aback when she saw this. "I also studied medicine and have read a lot of medical books. I can help your sister take a look at her condition. I'm not a bad person. You may not know me, but do you know Uncle Fu from earlier?"

The little boy thought for a moment, then said, "He protects the people."

Qiao Ruan nodded: "That's right. Uncle Fu is a great hero who protects the people. If my sister bullies you, you can ask Uncle Fu to arrest her. But my sister is not a bad person, understand?"

The little brother nodded thoughtfully.

Qiao Ruan then got up and went to the bathroom. After taking care of herself, she went to the tap to wash her hands. When she looked at herself in the mirror, not only was the little boy from before startled, but she herself was also shocked!

Several scratches from fingernails marred her fair cheeks, and her hair was disheveled and knotted.

Because of the severe abdominal pain, her face had lost all color, making her look no different from a female ghost!

Qiao Ruan combed her tangled hair, tied it with a hair tie, revealing her small, oval face. As for the scratches, she had to go to the clinic to get iodine to disinfect them.

As soon as Qiao Ruan entered the consultation room, she heard whispers inside.

"How dare Qiao Ruan offend Chief Qin's daughter? If Chief Qin blames her, she'll be in big trouble."

"We absolutely must not get involved in this matter. Besides, when we arrived, the two of them were already fighting. We don't know who started it, but they certainly won't be on Qiao Ruan's side."

The nurse replied, "Of course I understand that. Although Qiao Ruan is an adopted daughter of the Fu family, an adopted daughter is still an adopted daughter. How can she have a higher status than Miss Qin?"

Qiao Ruan stood at the door, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She stopped listening and knocked on the door. The nurse, with her hands in her pockets and leaning against the desk, was startled when she saw Qiao Ruan standing outside the window. Her face showed a guilty expression.

Were we not allowed to overhear their conversation just now?

The doctor's face darkened, and he gestured to the nurse to go and deal with it.

The nurse had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over to open the door: "Qiao Ruan, are you feeling any better?"
