Chapter 43: Surgery
What Kiri hated most in his life was that others had taken it short. He started from scratch and worked hard for decades, and finally got to where he is today.
He is obviously a successful person who is envied by everyone, but he is physically disabled. His physical shortcomings had made him extremely inferior, but fortunately he survived strongly. This also created his extremely sensitive and conceited personality today.
Although he experienced a lot of humiliation along the way, he at least made money. But at this dinner, he was humiliated for no reason and did not get any benefits.
He looked at Xian Xian, and his mood was extremely complicated. After such a thing, his dignity no longer allowed him to stay here.
"Miss Nancy, I think it's better to forget about the economic affairs of the Wu District." Kiri left this sentence and left the restaurant alone.
He told himself in his heart: The humiliation he suffered today will one day be brought back even harder!
At this time, I deeply felt a sense of powerlessness. The fundraising plan had been disrupted, but she had no alternatives. She was too confident to think she would be able to convince Kiri. But I didn't expect to be disturbed by the appearance of Lucy and Luffy.
"Xian Yan, don't deal with this kind of person in the future, he has a lot of bad intentions." Lucy saw that she was sitting there in a low mood, and hurriedly said a few words of relief.
Director Lu walked up to Xianxian and asked, "Why are you and him together?" ”
"It was King who introduced us to each other, saying that there might be opportunities to cooperate in the future." Xianxian explained.
Director Lu frowned, as if he understood that he had disrupted someone's plan. But he would never bow his head and apologize to Xianxian.
"It's okay. Kiri is an out-and-out big profiteer, and it may not be a good thing not to let him participate in the economic reconstruction of the military district. Lucy continued, "Besides, this is King's job, and you don't have to do everything yourself. ”
"Indeed, the problem of funding can be easily solved as long as King makes a phone call for you." Director Lu said indifferently. He felt strange, obviously the shortcut was in front of her, why did she want to go far away?
"Let's see. Kiri is also a resource provided to me by King. He introduced Kiri to me, and he should have meant a lot of it. Xian Xian said after thinking.
In everyone's eyes, King is omnipotent, and there is no trouble that he can't solve.
However, in Xianxian's opinion, King needs to pay a corresponding price for achieving anything. She just hopes that she can help him share some of the burden, at least not to trouble him often and make him owe favors.
"Do you need me to serve you a bowl of rice?" Lucy asked.
She glanced at the food on the table, and now she was in no mood to eat.
Xianxian looked at the group of people at the door and said, "Sister Lucy, we haven't touched these meals yet, leave them to the director of the road to eat, so as not to waste them." ”
She picked up her backpack and walked out of the restaurant in frustration.
If she had chosen another restaurant, would the outcome be completely different today?
She sighed and walked around the corner, only to find someone fainting in the corner. She hurriedly stepped forward to check on the situation.
When she got closer, she realized that it was Kiri who had fallen to the ground.
"Kiri, are you alright?" She asked worriedly, but the person lying on the ground did not respond.
She immediately took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed 8484.
"Hello, this is No. 125 Zizhu Road, W City, there is a man who suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, the reason is unknown." Xian Xian hurriedly reported the address, and then he could only wait for rescue.
The waiting process is always anxious and long. She was a little worried that Kiri was stunned by Lucy.
She held her breath and focused on listening to the sounds around her, finally hearing the ambulance coming, getting closer and closer.
When the ambulance arrived, several paramedics came over with stretchers and first-aid kits.
"How long has the patient fainted?" The paramedic asked casually.
"I don't know exactly when he fainted, but I guess it was at least a quarter of an hour." Xian Xian hurriedly replied.
"Give oxygen to the patient first." The doctor, who was squatting next to Kiri, skillfully put on an oxygen mask for him, "A few of you pay attention to carrying the patient on the stretcher smoothly. ”
"Are you a family member of a patient? Come with us in the car. ”
Without saying a word, he got into the ambulance.
"Which hospital are we going to?" Detective asked.
"The nearest is the Dynasty Military Hospital." A paramedic replied.
Half an hour later, the ambulance finally arrived in the emergency room of the Dynasty Military District Hospital.
"The family is waiting here, and the patient has to go for a CT first." The doctor advised.
After Kiri was pushed away by the doctor and sent for examination, she immediately picked up her phone and dialed King's number.
The bell rang for a long time, but no one answered on the other end of the phone. She hung up the phone and continued to wait for the results of Kiri's examination.
"Are you a family member of a patient?" The doctor took the surgical consent form and came to the door.
"I'm his friend." Xian Xian hurriedly said.
"Can you notify the patient's family?" The doctor frowned, "There was a problem with the pacemaker in his heart and it needed to be replaced." ”
"I don't have contact information for his family. Is this surgery urgent? Can I sign it? Xianxian asked anxiously.
She didn't expect Kiri to have a heart attack, and it was so serious.
"Okay, you can be responsible for the patient." The doctor sighed and handed the consent form to Xuan.
Xianxian took the consent form, and the pen in her hand paused for a moment before writing Nancy.
In a hurry just now, she almost left her real name.
The doctor took the consent form and instructed, "You go to the window to pay the surgery fee and hospitalization fee first." We first push the patient into the operating room. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Xianxian had been to this hospital before, so he was no stranger to the layout here, and soon arrived at the payment window.
Xian Xian handed in the doctor's medical bill.
"Do you have a medical ID?" The staff at the window asked.
She looked at the staff with a confused expression, she wanted to know what the medical ID was...... But I can't ask!
"I don't remember." She smiled awkwardly.
"Give the patient's name." The staff at the window said indifferently.
"Kiri." Xian Xian hurriedly said.
"There are a total of 10 IDs called this name, you can see which one." The staff clicked a button, and a projection portrait immediately appeared on the glass bezel in front of him.
"I'll take turns playing the photos of these 10 IDs, and you can see which one. Tell me if you're confirmed. The staff said.
She looked closely at the portrait on the glass, and when she reached the seventh in the carousel, she finally called a halt.
"This is it." Xian Xian said excitedly.
"This is our VIP customer." The staff said, "Do you still choose a ward according to the usual criteria?" ”
"Well, it's business as usual." Xianxian nodded and said.
"Although the customer has money in his account, you are not yourself, so you can't pay with your face." The staff looked at her and asked, "Did you bring cash or a bank card?" ”
"How much?" Xian Yan asked.
"Surgery fee plus equipment, 100,000 yuan. Hospitalization fee plus meals, 8000 a day, temporarily prepay 10 days of hospitalization expenses. In total, 180,000 needs to be paid. ”
Xianxian was frightened when she heard the expense, she couldn't have 180,000 cash at all. But, thankfully, King left her a credit card.
She took out a credit card from her bag and handed it to the staff.
"Look, is this credit card enough to pay?" Xian Yan asked.
The staff took the card, put it on the card machine and swiped it, and with a beep, the deduction was successful.
"There is no limit to the consumption of this card, and the payment has been successful." The staff handed the card and payment slip to the staff.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The operation has been going on for a long time, and Xianxian took out his mobile phone to check the time, but found that the phone only had the last battery left, and it was about to be turned off.
At this moment, the door to the operating room suddenly opened. The doctor walked over to the Burner.
"Doctor, how was the operation?" Xianxian immediately asked.
"The surgery was successful, but the patient needed to recuperate. To be honest, his physical condition is not ideal. Heart patients especially need to pay attention to their mood swings and manage their emotions well. The doctor said.
"You mean, he went into cardiac arrest because of mood swings?" Xianxian swallowed her saliva, could she really have guessed it by herself?
"There's that factor. However, the pacemaker in his heart is indeed about to expire. The doctor said.
The rooms are elegantly furnished, with pale yellow curtains and wallpaper, making the place extra warm.
Lying quietly in his hospital bed, Kiri had a dream in which he went back in time and was scavenging with his master. At that time, it didn't feel tired at all. Every day is quite fulfilling, and you don't have to think too much about things, you just need to worry about whether you can eat enough for your next meal. Its owner always keeps the meat and bones for it.
But when he became a canine, everything changed. Human emotions are much more complex than animals, and so are desires. Human desires are endless, and most people will not be satisfied with the status quo.
He sat quietly beside the bed, gently wiping his parched lips with a cotton swab dipped in warm water.
Kiri, in his sleep, seems to see a girl. In the years after he lost his owner, it had an even more difficult time. It picks up bottles and goes to the scrap station to exchange food. But its food is often snatched away by other stray dogs.
I remember a girl who took a twig to drive away the dogs that bullied her and gave her a sausage. It's been a long time since he's eaten meat, and he'll never forget the deliciousness of that sausage. It looked up at the girl's face.
Keery's eyes suddenly opened, and he finally remembered what the girl was. He looked at the Yan Yan beside him, and the one in his memory was even younger than now.
"Who the hell are you?" Kiri spoke suddenly. He never believed that Nancy was King's sister. The woman in front of her is very likely to be human.
"I'm Nancy." Burn is a little weak-hearted. She doesn't know if Kiri can be trusted yet, so she definitely can't admit that she's human!
"Impossible." Kiri's instincts had always been accurate, and he suspected that the person in front of him must have some connection to the girl in his memory.
"If I weren't a canine, you would have found out soon." "Don't you believe your sense of smell? ”
Kiri frowned, as if bothered by something. He's just guessing at the moment, but with what he knows about King, it's not impossible to hide a human aura.
"Don't worry about this, are you in better physical condition?" Xianxian asked with concern.
"It's better."
"Need my help informing your family?" Xianxian continued to ask.
Kiri was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't have any family. ”
Xianxian was slightly stunned and asked, "Then who will take care of you when you had surgery before?" ”
"Hired hospital nurses." Kiri said calmly.
She didn't know if she should leave him alone...... Why don't you hire a caregiver for him?
She couldn't bear it, and felt that Kiri was so pitiful. What's the use of even if he's the richest canine? At the end of the day, he was still alone, and he would never have a blood relative to rely on.
In the past, she also felt that pet sterilization was understandable, and she herself was not averse to the scientific idea of pet breeding. However, she still strongly rejected her mother's proposal, insisting on finding a girlfriend for King, leaving his offspring and continuing to raise him by her side.
However, sterilization is inhumane abuse in the current situation.
What kind of mentality has Kiri had for a long time?
"You ......" Kiri could say before he could say anything when someone suddenly broke in.
"Xiao Xian!" King grabbed her hand and looked her up and down, "Are you alright?" ”
King was in a meeting and put his phone on silent and missed the call. Later, he redialed it only to find that her phone was turned off.
The inability to contact him made him very anxious. He immediately asked Lao Lu to monitor and ask Jack to help search. It's a pity that Xian Xian got into an ambulance in the unmonitored area of the Intelligence Bureau, and they searched for a long time to no avail.
It wasn't until King received a message from the hospital that he knew the exact location of the company.
When he saw the news of the deduction, he was terrified, and thought that Xianxian was seriously injured.
He did not hesitate to put down everything in his hand, immediately rushed to the hospital, and according to the consumption records and other information, he found this VIP ward.
"King, I'm fine, it's Kiri who is hospitalized." Xianxian explained.
King hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Don't speak, let me hug you properly." ”
He was too afraid that he would be separated from her again. It had taken him 100 years to meet her, and he had probably used up all the good fortune for the rest of his life.
Xian Xian's slightly open arms froze there for a while, with nowhere to place for a while. Then, she gently put her arms around King's waist.
She was apologetic, she shouldn't have worried King so much. He could feel King's violent heartbeat, he must be in a hurry along the way!
"I'm sorry." Xianxian apologized in a low voice, "I promise, I won't worry you like this again in the future." ”
