In the end, the boy still couldn't resist Bai Duan's persistent "entanglement", and followed the two vigilantly into Bai Mu's car parked in the parking lot of the fast food restaurant, and then drove all the way to the nearest hospital.
The white mother helped the boy to register. She thought it was just a small act of kindness every day, but unexpectedly, after seeing the boy's injury, the doctor frowned and said that the boy must undergo surgery immediately, otherwise the injured leg might not be saved. —Even if the operation is done, in case of postoperative infection, there will be serious sequelae.
In addition to the legs, the boy has many other wounds all over his body. There is something wrong with his throat, and his internal organs may also be damaged. It is best to have a full body examination to prevent accidents.
In the end, the doctor seriously asked about the boy's identity, and after listening to it, he suggested that Mother Bai call the police immediately—it is definitely not a trivial matter to toss a child to this extent.
Bai Mu was taken aback by the doctor's serious look. Although the situation far exceeded her expectations, Bai Mu couldn't just let it go. She turned her head and looked at Bai Duan, who had been holding the boy's hand tightly and kept by his side every step of the way, and sighed slightly: "I will call the police, and the operation should be done immediately, and all the inspections should be done, this child is so Poor, since you helped, let’s just help to the end.”
After swiping the card to pay the operation fee, examination fee and hospitalization fee, the boy was immediately sent to the operating room. Bai Duan followed the white mother, looking anxiously at the tightly closed door of the operating room, and the whole person seemed a little anxious Uneasy: "Mom, my little brother is going to have an operation? Is it serious?"
"Well, it's a little serious, but it doesn't matter. After the operation and recuperating for a while, my little brother will recover." Bai Mu knelt down, touched Bai Duan's head, and comforted her frightened son.
Bai Duan nodded absent-mindedly, still a little distracted. Mother Bai sighed, and said a few words of comfort to him, then went to the corner and called Father Bai, explaining what happened here in a low voice.
Father Bai didn't care much about the boy rescued by his wife and children, but he didn't object to their kindness—although the boy's surgery and examination cost a lot, their family would not be stingy with the money.
After explaining the situation, Bai Mu and Bai Duan sat in front of the operating room door, waiting quietly. After an unknown amount of time, the operating room door finally opened.
The boy was lying on the hospital bed, and was pushed out of the operating room by the nurse—he had already been cleaned up and put on a hospital gown, revealing his emaciated but still beautiful features.
The white mother stood up, and before she could speak, she found that her son had rushed up impatiently, and carefully grabbed the boy's hand stretched out of the bed sheet, and the boy looked at him softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and gently turned back. grip.
"Little brother, does the operation hurt?" Bai Duan asked nervously, afraid of hearing bad news.
The boy's smile deepened a little, and he shook his head slightly.
For some reason, Bai's mother always felt that her son was a little blind when he got along with the boy, like a pair of young lovers who were separated for life and death.
Laughing secretly that her brain power is really unreliable, Bai Mu let Bai Duan leave the hospital bed step by step after a few instructions, while she stayed behind and asked the doctor about the boy's operation.
Overall, the boy's operation went smoothly, but postoperative recovery cannot be ignored. After all, the boy suffered too much, his body was very weak, he was severely malnourished, his immunity was low, and he was especially vulnerable to infection.
Mother Bai in this room asked about the boy's condition, while Bai Duan followed the nurses to the ward and watched them put the boy in place, connect him with the equipment for observing the body, and put him on a drip.
After adjusting the dripping speed, the nurse straightened up when she felt the corner of her clothes being gently tugged, and turned her head to meet Bai Duan's big watery eyes: "Sister, how should I take care of my little brother? "
The nurse was stunned for a moment, trembling at the sight of Yuxue's cute white satin. She squatted down, touched Bai Duan's head, and her tone softened instantly: "Does my little brother take care of my brother?"
"Yes! Yes!" Bai Duan nodded hastily, puffing out her chest as if she was afraid that the other party would think she was unreliable.
"Little brother is really good, really amazing!" The nurse praised without hesitation. Although she did not believe that the five or six-year-old child in front of her could do this job well, it did not prevent her from teaching Bai Duan how to take care of him. Patient on drip.
Bai Duan listened very seriously, her face was tense, looking quite serious. Such a small adult-like appearance, combined with his actual age, looks very cute in the eyes of the nurses, and they can't wait to hug him immediately and comfort him in their arms.
After listening to the nurse's narration, Bai Duan climbed onto the chair beside the hospital bed, staring at the speed of the drip without blinking, as if only the dripping liquid remained in his own world.
The nurses wanted to take better care of the two children, but they were busy with work, so they had to leave. Before leaving, they had to ring the bell to call them if there was anything to do, and they received a solemn reply from Bai Duan.
She couldn't help but patted Bai Duan's head one by one, and the nurses left one after another. Bai Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to straighten her somewhat messy hair—to be honest, although she has always been loved by adults. , but Bai Duan is still not used to such a warm attitude.
Seeing Bai Duan relaxed, the boy on the bed chuckled, he spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse, and it was difficult to pronounce: "Xiao Duan."
Hearing the boy's call, Bai Duan suddenly turned her head to meet his gaze, and her eyes lit up suddenly: "Little brother? Has your voice started to recover?!"
The boy nodded lightly, and stretched out his hand towards Bai Duan, but the other party hurriedly held it down: "Little brother, the nurse sister said, don't move around during the IV drip!" The dripping is fast or slow, which makes the little brother uncomfortable.
Bai Duan's worried appearance made the boy's expression softer. He didn't care about the drip on his hand, so he directly raised his hand and pulled Bai Duan to his side, and touched his white tenderness with his already clean hands as he wished. Soft cheeks.
Bai Duan was taken aback by the boy's action, and just about to scold him, the next second she was dazed by the gentle touch on her cheek. His cheeks were flushed and hot, his eyes were a little shy, but more clear doubts: "Little brother?"
"It's okay." The boy smiled and said with difficulty, "I just... want to see you and touch you—you are so cute."
Bai Duan has lost count of how many people have praised him for being cute, but no one's compliments have ever given him such a thrilling feeling like a boy's. He just felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, he was at a loss for his strange reaction, but he felt sweet and happy for the boy's words.
Bai Duan has not yet matured emotionally, and for a while he couldn't bear such a complicated and intense feeling. He tilted his head, avoiding the boy's touch, and subconsciously wanted to let himself escape from this overwhelming feeling. —Fortunately, the boy did not continue to force him. Instead, he followed his wishes and retracted his hand.
Immediately, Bai Duan felt the clear loss in his heart again.
Shaking his head, trying to get rid of this unpredictable emotion, Bai Duan tried to calm himself down: "Little brother, my name is Bai Duan, what's your name?"
"Zhao Xu." The boy curled his lips and teased softly, "Call, brother Xu, come and listen?"
Bai Duan blinked her eyes, not doubting him, and obediently called "Brother Xu".
The boy suddenly showed some subtle expressions, some satisfied and some dissatisfied, his eyes became brighter and deeper because of this claim, and even brought out a dangerous taste.
Bai Duan shrank her shoulders subconsciously, but instinctively approached the boy without any precautions or fears. He tilted his head, wondering softly: "Brother Xu?"
"It's okay." Zhao Xu pinched Bai Duan's cheek, "Our Xiao Duan is so good, it made me a little—cough, cough—"
Zhao Xu's voice was still not very good. Now that he talked too much, he immediately rebelled.
Startled, Bai Duan quickly knelt down on the bed, raised her hand and patted Zhao Xu's chest, and said in a flustered tone, "Brother Xu, stop talking, stop talking..."
"Okay." Zhao Xu took Bai Duan's hand on his chest and squeezed it lightly. Just as he opened his mouth, he was stared at harmlessly by the other party. I won't speak anymore.
Only then did Bai Duan feel relieved, and turned her head to check the speed of the drip, adjusted it carefully, and complained unhappily, "Brother Xu is really not good."
Zhao Xu looked at him with a smile, and finally settled down according to Bai Duan's request.
When Mother Bai bid farewell to the doctor and returned to the ward, she saw the two children who were serious and silent. Bai Duan stared at the IV drip seriously, while the boy looked at Bai Duan seriously, the atmosphere was quiet but harmonious.
Thinking of the compliments from the nurses when she passed by the nurse station, the smile on the corner of Baimu's mouth deepened a little more—his Dudu family is so smart, cute, and sensible, and no one else's children can compare.
With such a contented and proud mood, Bai Mu walked up to Bai Duan and rubbed his hair: "Du Dun is so good, are you taking care of your brother?"
"En!" Bai Duan raised her head and nodded seriously, "Brother Xu is not good, he always moves around."
Mother Bai couldn't help but look at the boy on the hospital bed, but she couldn't see any "bad" appearance. Recalling the doctor's words, Bai Mu felt more pity in her heart, she couldn't help but sighed softly, and her tone became softer: "You just had an operation and you need to be hospitalized for observation. In two days, there are still some tests to be done. I have already covered the cost. You don’t have to worry about it once you’ve paid it off, just cooperate with the doctor’s arrangement.”
Zhao Xu's eyes moved from the white satin to the white mother, and the gentle color in his eyes faded in an instant, but he did not show vigilance and defense any more. He nodded slightly, his voice hoarse and indifferent: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Mother Bai smiled, and she was not displeased by Zhao Xu's attitude. Instead, she found it strange that the other party showed Bai Duan's unreasonable gentleness and indulgence, "I heard Duan Duan call you Brother Xu?"
Zhao Xu responded softly: "Zhao Xu."
"Zhao Xu." Mother Bai called out. She felt that this indifferent and withdrawn boy would definitely not like an intimate address like "Xu Xu", so she simply chose to call him by his full name, "I also called the police station just now. I made a phone call and explained your situation. It’s just that you are not in good health and cannot cooperate with the investigation. After you recuperate for a while, the police will come and make a record for you and help you solve the problem. No matter what you encountered before, You must tell the police the truth."
Although Zhao Xu looked about the same age as Bai Duan, his heart was obviously more mature and stable than Bai Duan's. Regarding Bai Duan, Mother Bai always liked to communicate in an intimate tone like a child, but when facing Zhao Xu, she couldn't help but put him in the position of an older child and treat him like an adult.
Hearing Mother Bai's exhortation, Zhao Xu nodded again, expressing that he knew. He looked quite calm and calm, without any uneasiness—he was such a mature child who couldn't be more mature. The way it is today.
Bai Mu breathed out softly: "Other than that, there is nothing else to do. If there is any emergency, please call me. I have left the phone number to the doctor and nurse, and now I will give you one too." As she said, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Zhao Xu, then turned around and carried Bai Duan off the chair, "Din Dun, it's time for us to go home, come and say goodbye to brother."
Bai Duan pursed her lips, obviously very reluctant; "I want to stay and take care of Brother Xu."
"Brother Xu is being taken care of by nurses and sisters." Mother Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's getting late now, and Dad is still waiting for us to eat at home. Satin doesn't want Dad to starve, right?"
Bai Duan looked at Zhao Xu eagerly, as if hoping that the other party would speak to persuade him to stay, but Zhao Xu just lay there, looking at him with a smile in his eyes, without any intention of speaking.
Looking back, Bai Duan also knew that Zhao Xu had no position to speak, but he still couldn't help feeling disappointed. He grabbed Bai Mu's clothes and said: "Then...then I will come back tomorrow."
"Dindu, tomorrow is Monday, you still have to go to kindergarten, have you forgotten?" Bai Duan held Bai Duan's little hand, after all, she still couldn't see her son's pitiful appearance, she let go a little, "After kindergarten class, I I'll take you to see my little brother again, okay?"
Bai Duan frowned, obviously a little unhappy: "I don't want to go to kindergarten..."
"Why don't you go to the kindergarten?" Bai Mu sighed helplessly, leaned over and hugged Bai Duan, "Mom and Dad both have to work tomorrow, so I don't have time to accompany you to the hospital, please don't make trouble with Du Duan, be good." Kissed Bai Duan on the cheek, hugged Bai Duan with one hand, let him lie on his shoulder, and grabbed his little hand with the other hand, shaking Zhao Xu, "Come on, say goodbye to brother, we are leaving."
Reluctantly, Bai Duan was held by Bai Mu and shook his paws, his exquisite facial features were wrinkled, full of resistance - but he knew that he was soft-spoken, even if he objected, it was useless, so he didn't continue to fight, obediently Coincidentally, she was carried out of the ward by Bai Mu.
The naive white mother thought that the matter was over, but she never thought that her son, who had always been sensible, was quietly brewing a big move, and knew that he should not startle the snake.
She brought Bai Duan home, had a sumptuous dinner with Bai's father, chatted about what happened in the afternoon, played parent-child games for a while, and finally put Bai Duan to sleep smoothly—everything was the same as before, without any abnormal.
However, the next morning, she suddenly received a call from the kindergarten teacher, telling her that Bai Duan was missing.
