Chapter 45: Sixteen Fractures

I finally succumbed to my own emotional thinking, and outside the ICU, I saw my ex-father-in-law, a kind old man who had been peaceful and cowardly all his life, lonely and haggard, helplessly sitting on a bench outside the ward and pretending to sleep, with half a bag of uneaten instant noodles next to him.

"Dad....", I shouted very naturally.

My former father-in-law was pretending to sleep, and when he heard the shouting, he opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and looked at me, and in an instant, a glimmer of light flashed, "Zhi..... Zhiyuan?"

Looking at the half bag of instant noodles, I replied with a little choked up, "Well, it's me, Dad, are you okay with your old man?"

"Our family is sorry for you, child....." The former father-in-law trembled and tried to stand up. I hurriedly hugged him and said, "Dad, don't talk about this, how is Zhenzhen?"

"See for yourselves what a wicked work. Hey......." the ex-father-in-law sighed bitterly.

I leaned into the glass window of the ICU ward and looked inside, the familiar face of my wife on the bed was slightly pale, with oxygen tubes inserted in the nostrils, and countless unknown electromagnetic patches on my cheeks and arms, connected to the medical equipment next to me.

"Dad, have you reported the case?" I didn't want to see my wife's current miserable situation anymore, so I turned my head to look at my father-in-law with tears in my eyes.

The old man shook his head helplessly, "I reported it, but it didn't work, the person had already run away, and there was no monitoring in that place at that time, and the Public Security Bureau was already investigating, I don't know if I can find it." ”

At this time, Zhou Shengtao trotted over from a distance and handed me the payment form, "Brother Wang, it's already done." paid an extra 50,000 yuan, a total of 250,000 yuan. ”

"Dad..... I handed the payment slip to the old man, "I have already paid the deposit for Zhenzhen, hurry up and let the doctor arrange the operation." ”

"This ...... This ......." The former father-in-law looked at me with the payment slip, and instantly two lines of tears welled up and cried, "Repay grievances with virtue, really repay grievances with virtue, Zhiyuan, you are such a good boy, Zhenzhen is blind, and he actually divorced you, what a wrong, wrong." ”

Seeing the dozens of years old man crying like this, I didn't feel good in my heart, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "Dad, don't say this, don't say this." I'm still in a bit of a hurry to make a long trip, and I'll come back to see you when I get back. ”

"Okay, child, be careful on the road, I'll thank you for Zhenzhen, you saved her life. The old man trembled, holding my hand, reluctant to take it away.

"Hmm.... I'll be careful, Dad, and you have to take care of yourself. I let go of my hand, I glanced at the instant noodles next to me, opened the handbag and saw that there was still some cash inside, about one or two thousand, and grabbed it all out and handed it to my father-in-law, "Dad, don't eat instant noodles all the time, that is not good for your health, eat something nutritious when you are older, I have some cash here, you take it first." ”

"Don't, don't, I don't, you've helped a lot, you don't need it. The old man hurriedly pushed out, saying that he would not want anything.

I ignored the old man's pushing, stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, and turned around to beckon Zhou Shengtao out of the hospital.

Zhou Shengtao drove the car fast all the way, and finally caught the plane, I called twice before the plane took off, but no one answered. I had to turn off the phone and wait until I got to the destination. Fortunately, more than 2,000 kilometers is also very fast, and it takes more than two hours to arrive.

After getting off the plane, we took a taxi and went straight to the First People's Hospital of Bindao City, where we met Director Wang Sen, a tall and thin man in his forties, in the emergency department of the hospital. "You're the patient's family, you're coming fast. ”

I asked eagerly, "Director Wang, how is my friend now?"

"Your friend, aren't you the patient's husband?" said Director Wang, who looked at me strangely.

"Husband?" Zhou Shengtao looked at me in surprise.

"That's the director," I quickly explained, "I am friends with her, not husband and wife, and I don't know why she remarked my name as husband." ”

"Oh...."Director Wang paused with a thoughtful look and said, "Since you are her friend, it is okay to talk to you, but you still have to find a way to inform her family quickly." ”

"Good, good. I nodded in agreement, "What the hell is going on with her now, where is the person?"

"Half an hour ago, just had surgery, and now in the sterile ward, you may have to wait hours to see her. She was hit by a car, the kind of engineering truck on the road that pulls cans and fills cement. It was something that happened at nine o'clock last night, but...."Director Wang looked up at us and continued, "But according to the situation of the patient being sent, she has as many as sixteen fractures all over her body, which seems to have been deliberately crushed. ”

After listening to the doctor's words, Zhou Shengtao and I looked at each other, I didn't expect such a serious fracture in 16 places, what kind of concept is this? Is her life in danger? Will so many fractures become disabled?"

Director Wang shook his head, "Life is saved for the time being, these sixteen fractures, other places are not very serious, the most serious at present is the two lower legs, if the recovery is good, it should not cause disability, but walking for a long time in the future will definitely have a certain impact." ”

"Doctor, did you catch the car?" Zhou Shengtao interjected and asked.

"I heard that the traffic police are still investigating, so you should go to the traffic police team to ask about this. Director Wang said.

"Still checking? Don't you know what car hit it? Why do you still need to check?" Zhou Shengtao was puzzled.

"That's not our job. Director Wang waved his hand regretfully.

"I suggest you contact her family as soon as possible, because her condition is more serious, so it will cost a lot of money later. Although there is currently a traffic police force bail, we operated on her first, but the cost is ......"

I immediately understood what Director Wang meant, and quickly interrupted him, "It's okay, how much money is needed, let's put it on first." ”

Director Wang saw that I was very happy, thought about it for a while and said, "The recovery of fractures actually doesn't require much money, mainly because of the later corrective surgeries, which cost a lot of money, and I suggest using imported drugs as much as possible, although imported drugs are a little more expensive, but the effect is obvious." ”

"Okay, you say how much, we'll pay right away. I nodded.

"Pay 300,000 first, it should be about the same. ”

Zhou Shengtao on the side was surprised: "So much?"

"This is a deposit, not a treatment fee, our hospital will issue a list of medical expenses for the previous day every day, you can rest assured that if you have any questions, you can report to the Municipal Price Bureau for investigation. Our hospitals are clearly marked and transparent. Director Wang explained.

"Okay, we'll pay right away. I stopped Zhou Shengtao and motioned him to stop asking.
