Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chapter 177 Accompanying my eldest sister to the hospital

On Saturday morning, sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating the faces of Chen Dong and his mother, Li Huazhen.

With a touch of languor and tranquility, the heavy atmosphere inside the car was still palpable.

The eldest sister, Chen Xiumei, sat between her mother, Li Huazhen, and her younger brother, Chen Dong, her body trembling slightly.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and she would occasionally bite them lightly, as if this could ease the panic in her heart.

Chen Jianguo sat in the passenger seat, his brows furrowed. He glanced at his eldest daughter in the back seat through the rearview mirror from time to time, his eyes filled with worry. His hands were nervously rubbing against his knees.

The car drove smoothly on its way to the hospital, the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground seemingly swallowed up by the oppressive atmosphere inside the car.

Mother Li Huazhen broke the silence first, gently taking Chen Xiumei's hand.

Those hands were warm and strong, trying to give their daughter some strength.

Li Huazhen said softly, "Xiumei, don't be afraid, Mom is here."

“This is tough, but we’ll get through it together. You’re still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. If we take good care of our health, we won’t be afraid of anything.”

Chen Dong chimed in, "Big sister, Mom is right, don't worry too much."

"With modern medicine being so advanced, this is just a minor hurdle, and it will pass quickly."

"If you are in pain or discomfort, please don't keep it to yourself, tell us."

Chen Dong looked at his older sister with concern, his tone firm, trying to dispel her fear of miscarriage.

He even reached out and gently patted Chen Xiumei's shoulder to comfort her.

Chen Xiumei nodded slightly, her voice trembling slightly as she replied, "Mom, Dongzi, I understand."

"I'm just really panicking, and I can't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts..."

This was Chen Xiumei's first abortion, a scene she never imagined.

Shortly after, the car slowly drove into the hospital gate.

Chen Jianguo quickly got out of the car and ran towards the registration desk.

His steps were hurried, and his back showed anxiety. He kept looking back as he ran, afraid that his wife and daughter would fall behind.

Li Huazhen and Chen Dong helped Chen Xiumei, one on each side, carefully into the hospital lobby.

The hospital was bustling with people, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air, making people feel inexplicably nervous.

The cacophony of voices, hurried footsteps, and the occasional beeping of instruments created an unsettling din.

After registering, they went to the gynecology clinic for a consultation.

The doctor was a middle-aged woman who wore glasses and had a gentle yet professional gaze.

Her white coat was neat and clean, and the stethoscope hanging on her chest swayed slightly with her movements.

The doctor inquired about Chen Xiumei's condition in detail.

Chen Xiumei lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and answered the difficult-to-speak questions in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Their hands were tightly clasped together, their fingers turning white.

While taking notes, the doctor patiently comforted her, saying, "Young lady, don't be shy, this is a very common situation."

"You need to relax, cooperate with the treatment, and your body will recover quickly."

"Our medical technology is very advanced now, and we will minimize the harm to you. Don't scare yourself."

After the consultation, the next step was to arrange a ward.

The nurse led them through a long, dimly lit corridor.

Occasionally, the sound of a patient coughing could be heard, and the signs on the wall were somewhat old, emitting a faint glow.

Upon arriving at the ward, Li Huazhen busied herself making Chen Xiumei's bed and arranging the personal items she had brought neatly.

Afterwards, Li Huazhen kept saying, "Xiumei, you can stay here in peace. If you need anything, just tell Mom and Mom will get it for you."

"I've slept the sheets for you so you'll be more comfortable at night. And here's a thermos so you can have hot water whenever you're thirsty."

Chen Dong didn't sit still either. He poured a glass of water and handed it to his older sister, saying, "Sister, have some water to soothe your throat."

"The water temperature is just right, don't be nervous, relax."

After everything was settled, since it was Saturday, Li Huazhen, the mother, did not have to go to work.

Li Huazhen then said to Chen Dong and her husband Chen Jianguo, "You two go back. I can take care of Xiumei here."

“You can’t be of much help here, so you might as well go back and rest. You need someone to take care of your family.”

Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, looked at his daughter, then at his wife, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go back first."

"Take good care of Xiumei, and also take care of your own health. Call me anytime if anything happens."

Chen Dong added, "Mom, we'll be going now. If you want anything to eat, just give me a call and I'll bring it over."

The father and son took a bus home.

Along the way, both of them were silent.

The car moved smoothly along the road, and the scenery outside the window flashed by like a slideshow, but I had no heart to appreciate it.

Back home, the father and son sat on the sofa in silence for a moment, a somber atmosphere filling the air.

Not long after, Chen Dong couldn't contain his doubts and asked, "Dad, have you found Auntie's scoundrel husband, Liu Dazhu?"

A hint of anger flashed in Chen Dong's eyes. Remembering the grievances his aunt had suffered, his fists clenched involuntarily.

Chen Jianguo sighed, a sigh that seemed to carry too much helplessness and exhaustion.

After sighing, Chen Jianguo replied, "We couldn't find him. The police told me that the kid ran away and is no longer in Nanjiang County."

"That little rascal, he runs fast, he's really caused Guilan a lot of trouble."

Chen Dong then asked, "Has the Public Security Bureau issued an arrest warrant?"

He leaned forward, his eyes focused, eager to know what would happen next.

Chen Jianguo nodded, a hint of helplessness on his face, and said, "It's definitely been issued, but the warrant isn't very strong, since the government doesn't have much money for a reward."

"Most importantly, Liu Dazhu's crime wasn't very serious, with only a 1000 yuan reward."

"This amount of money probably won't attract many people to arrest him."

Chen Dong nodded, his brows furrowing even more: "How can this be? Does that mean what that guy did doesn't count? Look at how badly he bullied Auntie."

Chen Dong's voice unconsciously rose, filled with indignation on behalf of his third aunt.

Chen Jianguo patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and comforted him, "Dongzi, there's nothing we can do but wait for the police to investigate."

"We trust them; they'll bring this bastard back sooner or later."

Afterwards, Chen Jianguo glanced at the time, took out a hundred yuan, handed it to Chen Dong, and instructed, "Dongzi, go and check on your second aunt for me."

"Buy some fruit or something and take it with you. Go out and make her proud, so that her husband's family knows that our family isn't without support."

"Understood, Dad."

Chen Dong took the money, got up and left.

With a sigh, she thought to herself, "These things at home really need to get better soon."
