80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

"My mother is so old, and you still want to call the police? I think you're deliberately trying to torture her to death."

"Zhang Wei, you need to get your brain checked. My daughter is still in the emergency room."

"Wh...what? Didn't you say it was just a minor scrape? How come you need first aid?"

Just then, the child was wheeled out, his head wrapped in thick gauze.

Huo Qingxia also came out. As a nurse with more experience, she went in as a family member.

The doctor looked at the group of people outside, frowned and reprimanded them, "How do you parents raise your children? How could you let your child suffer such a serious injury? The wound is very deep, and if it goes any deeper, it will break the bone. The consequences could be serious or minor."

Zhang Wei staggered back a few steps, muttering incredulously, "Didn't they say it was just a scrape? How could it be so serious?"

Liu Meili cried her heart out, and her body fell backward. Lin Yue caught her and prevented her from falling.

She kept pounding her chest, crying, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect her. God, punish me and spare my child."

The child is so young; if his head is damaged, his life will be ruined.

Liu Meili was completely unable to calm down and listen to the doctor, and Zhang Wei also seemed to have been hit hard and stood there in a daze.

The doctor could only tell Huo Qingxia, "We have already disinfected and stitched up the child's wound. I will prescribe some ointment for her later. However, since it was stitched with eleven stitches, it will probably leave a scar."

You should take the child back to the ward first. Their parents are inexperienced, but you are a medical professional with experience. Observe the child carefully after they return to the ward.

The child is still at risk of brain damage. If the child wakes up and still feels dizzy, nauseous, or wants to vomit, you must call a doctor immediately.

Although our hospital has also introduced the relevant equipment, the child is too young to use the equipment because the radiation is too great.

Therefore, we can only take a conservative approach now, observing with the naked eye. If the symptoms I mentioned do not appear, the condition is basically stable.

First, go pay the fees and arrange a one-week hospital stay. If everything goes well, you can be discharged after the stitches are removed in a week.

"Okay, doctor, I'll come see you again if I need anything." Huo Qingxia's hands and clothes were stained with blood, and she looked quite disheveled.

The nurse led them to the pediatric ward. After settling the child in, the nurse said to Huo Qingxia, "You know the rules in the ward. Only one adult can stay and watch the child. The other family members can go to the waiting room to wait."

Huo Qingxia expressed her understanding. At this moment, Liu Meili sat beside the hospital bed, holding the child's hand and sobbing softly.

"Everyone, please go outside and wait. Let the child's mother stay here for now."

After leaving the ward, Huo Qingxia was about to ask the child's father to pay the fees and complete the hospital admission procedures, but he had already disappeared.

She couldn't help but curse out loud, "What kind of man is he? He was so self-righteous just now, but now that it's time to pay, he's disappeared. What's the point of having a man like that? He doesn't even deserve to be a father. No, I have to go and confront him."

She had rushed out in such a hurry that she hadn't had time to put on a coat, and she had sweated a lot while running, but she didn't feel cold at all.

Now, I'm angry again, and when the wind blows through the hospital corridor, I can't help but shiver.

Wang Yiming quickly took off his coat and draped it over Huo Qingxia. "Don't be angry. I'll go pay the bill first. Getting the child treated is the priority. We can talk about the rest when we get back."

That's more like it. Huo Qingxia's anger finally subsided a bit, and she urged Wang Yiming to pay the fee.

Lin Yue was also wearing only a thin shirt. Huo Qingyan offered her his coat, but she refused.

Huo Qingyan said in a deep voice, "How will you take care of the child if you get sick?"

Lin Yue thought it made sense, so she reluctantly took it and draped it over herself.

She saw Liu Meili still crying through the glass, and her heart ached.

As a mother, seeing my child like this must be incredibly heartbreaking.

No matter how much the old lady beat or scolded her, Liu Meili endured it all and never complained to anyone else. She still took care of the family's life diligently every day.

Now, faced with this outcome, her self-blame far outweighs her anger.

Just like her eagerness to leave the capital, she wanted to protect the child in her womb; for a mother, her child is more important than anything else.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei had already stumbled home. Old Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the sofa eating an apple. When she saw him come back alone, her face immediately darkened.

"What? You're not coming back with me to apologize? Are you expecting me to go and beg her back? Let me tell you, you can't spoil a woman. If she doesn't apologize properly, we'll divorce her and kick her and the kids out. Let's see if she's scared then."

"If you really get divorced, Mom will find you someone even better. We'll find her in the city, someone with a job, who can have a son, just to spite her."

She spoke vividly and became more and more excited as she talked, as if she couldn't wait to run to a matchmaker and find someone to meet her.

"Son, what kind of woman do you want to find? This time, Mom has to carefully select one for you. She can't be as useless as that woman."

After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Zhang Wei, she turned her head to look and saw Zhang Wei staring at her with wide eyes.

That look was something she had never seen before. How could her usually sensible and obedient son look at her with such resentment?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she said somewhat guiltily, "Son, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? Did that woman say bad things about me to you?"

You can't believe her. She's just trying to sow discord between us. She's malicious. She abuses me when you're not home, and today she teamed up with outsiders to bully me.

I think she's been instigated by that wicked woman next door and wants to kick Mom out of the house. Your father died early, and Mom raised you with so much hardship and suffering. Now she wants to kick me out; she's heartless.

Normally, Zhang Wei would have already come up to comfort her, but now he just stood there watching her.

Having performed this role so many times, Old Mrs. Zhang could no longer shed tears; she was just wailing dryly, without her eyes even turning red.

Zhang Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly. He knew his mother was acting before, but he was a dutiful son, so he let her do whatever she wanted.

Anyway, the purpose of marrying a wife is to take care of his mother. As long as his mother is happy, he doesn't care what Liu Meili does.

But now, seeing the old lady like this, he suddenly felt annoyed.

He just heard from the doctor at the hospital that he would need to stay in the hospital for a week, and he was reluctant to spend the money.

But the child was his own, and he couldn't bear not to treat her, so he rushed back to get the money.

When I got downstairs, I ran into a coworker who lived on the same floor. We worked in the same workshop and usually got along quite well.

“Zhang Wei, you really need to keep an eye on your mother. If she continues like this, your family will fall apart sooner or later.”
