For the next few days, Ouyang Zhirou and Lin Mu Xi continued their daily arguments. During this time, Wang Ju'en visited me a few times, but she didn’t come as often as the other two. Hu Yao occasionally brought some heavily spiced food to tempt me. As someone from Lake City, being forbidden from eating spicy food felt like a death sentence; I was so tired of bland meals that my taste buds were nearly numb.
From needing assistance to walk, I had progressed to bouncing around on my own. After nearly a month, I was finally ready to be discharged. My recovery was going well, and it was time to leave the hospital, but I still needed to be cautious and avoid strenuous activities for a week after discharge.
Oh, thank the heavens! Finally, I could leave! The smell of disinfectant in the ward had been overwhelming for almost an entire month; it felt like my brain was about to shrink from it.
“Thank you, Doctor! I’m going to take care of the discharge procedures now,” I said as I dashed towards the ward.
Seeing me run off, Zhao Changsheng entered the doctor's office. “I promised you that if you saved my son, I would buy this hospital for you. Please call the director.”
The doctor initially thought Zhao Changsheng was just joking, but he realized he was serious!
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao. Saving lives is my duty; it’s what I’m supposed to do. Everything is fine as it is; there’s no need for any expenses.”
Many people would jump at the chance to curry favor with Zhao Changsheng, yet here he was, refusing his own offer. “Since you say so, you must have your own reasons. Here’s my business card; if you ever need help in Lake City, just let me know.” With that, Zhao Changsheng left.
The corridor was mostly empty as I sprinted down it like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, completely ignoring Ouyang Zhirou and Lin Mu Xi calling my name behind me.
I had completely forgotten the doctor's warning about avoiding strenuous exercise. After lying down for so long, I felt like my body was rusting from lack of movement.
Once in the ward, I changed into the clothes Li Hong had brought me and immediately headed for the hospital exit. Staying even one more second felt unbearable.
“Hey! You stop right there!”
I heard my grandfather's voice behind me and immediately halted. “What’s wrong, Grandpa?”
“What’s wrong? The doctor just told you something important, and you forget it as soon as you turn around? Running around like this—I think you haven’t had enough of being in the hospital!”
After being scolded by my grandfather, I dared not make any more sudden movements and could only walk slowly until I finally exited the hospital doors.
Breathing in air free of disinfectant made me feel like the sky was bluer than ever; the world outside the hospital was so beautiful!
I shouted at the sky, “Haha! I’m back! It’s me, Zhao Lun!”
“Ow!”
Ouyang Zhirou raised her hand and slapped me on the back of my head. “Have you lost your mind? You can’t even hear us calling you! You’re running so fast that we can’t catch up!”
Lin Mu Xi, panting heavily behind her, chimed in, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you running so fast?”
“I’m just too excited! Overly excited!”
As we stood at the entrance chatting, more people began to arrive one after another.
"You're out of the hospital now, so let me treat you to a meal. Why don't you come over to my house?" Ouyang Xiong said, looking at the crowd. He was initially reluctant, but since his ancestor had given the order, there was no room for negotiation.
There were a few reasons behind this invitation. First, it would give Zhao Lun a chance to see his home. Second, there’s an old saying that girls' private spaces shouldn't be entered casually, but if it was Zhao Lun, that rule could be bent.
Zhao Changsheng readily agreed, "Sounds good! No problem. Mom and Dad, are you coming?"
