Chapter 7 Hospital Visit Again

  • Arya blushed and realized she had made a mistake in her speech. She actually meant to say……..Little brother? Small brother? Second brother?.......
  • Her face became redder, so much so that she felt blood was about drip.
  • Why did she have to make an embarrassing remark about that part of the male anatomy?
  • How is female dignity related to that?
  • Vulgar, ah…..so vulgar!
  • She felt regretful.
  • She really has brain damage.
  • It was all his fault.
  • He had mentioned a comparison between a man's dignity and a woman's body and that had caused her to do a similar comparison.
  • Stinky rogue, he had misled her!
  • She is a civilized person and she will definitely not say such vulgar words.
  • Arya picked up the hot water flask, squeezed past Jack, and hurried out.
  • "Hey, our conversation is not finished yet. What other fresh metaphors and similes do you have? Tell me!" Jack laughed loudly behind her.
  • Laugh? What is there to laugh at?
  • She slipped away quickly as if her feet were oiled.
  • She wanted to get far away from him, far away…….far, far away………..
  • But in life, sometimes the things you are afraid of, are things that will come to you.
  • Not only was Arya unable to stay far away from him, but she was also admitted to the hospital and her attending doctor was coincidentally called Dr. Jack Daniel.
  • This matter happened like this.
  • Arya's customer who bought insurance from her was involved in a car accident.
  • By right, he would have received compensation since he had bought insurance but there was a problem regarding the nature of the accident.
  • Responsibility for the accident was not clearly defined and the compensation paid out was very much lower than anticipated.
  • The policyholder was a single parent and Arya felt that her customer had trusted her and so bought insurance from her.
  • Since now there is a problem, it was only right she should come forward to help him.
  • So she ran around and looked for the company, looked for the traffic police, and looked for all the relevant departments.
  • She had to go through various processes and established relationships, and all these were not easy tasks.
  • Because the reports made by both parties concerned were not consistent and there were no surveillance cameras installed at the place of the accident, therefore the traffic police were also uncertain.
  • After running around for more than half a month, finally, the focus fell on the main party involved.
  • But the man had fervently denied it was his fault and insisted that it was Arya's customer who had violated traffic regulations and hit him.
  • Arya was badly hurt in the process of getting the truth.
  • During the time she tried to get the people, to tell the truth, she nearly broke her leg with all the running around. And coincidentally, during those few days, her mother called her every day to inquire about her job and the friends she has.
  • "Arya, I heard from your uncle that big companies give yearly increments. Since your company is also a big company, does your company also do the same? You have been gone for more than a year, did you also get an increment? And also, our next-door neighbor Thomas's daughter who did not have a good education, after working for two years with her company, recently she was promoted to the position of manager. I also told them you are also a manager working in a trading company. A big company, a business manager, right?"
  • Arya sighed in her heart.
  • How is she going to tell her mother?
  • These worldly pursuits……out of ten office workers, five are managers.
  • Three of the five claimed to be managers and the remaining two want to be managers. The title of ‘Manager’ is really worthless.
  • On the surface, many people look good and well-off but in reality, they stay in rented rooms and eat instant noodles and she is one of them.
  • But she did not dare to tell her mother because she is afraid…….afraid of being annoyed to death.
  • If she is not bothered by her mother, she would be bothered by her dad, or else she would be bothered by her passerby 'relatives'. And those passerby 'relatives' would inadvertently bring along other 'relatives' whose relationship to her could never be deciphered.
  • So she lied again.
  • She is not an insurance salesperson. She is a white-collar worker who works in a trading company.
  • This kind of thing made Arya's mood extremely bad.
  • She hung up her mother's call and unhappily squatted outside the house of the other party involved in the car accident.
  • She felt angry with herself.
  • Liar!
  • What is the use of this kind of life?
  • She was also angry with the other party who did not want to take responsibility for the car accident.
  • He did not tell the truth, at the same time, caused other people to get hurt and also lose money.
  • Does he not have any conscience?
  • Maybe it was the big sun that had blurred Arya's mind or maybe it was because of her mother's phone call that provoked her actions.
  • Anyway, originally Arya had planned to talk nicely to the other party and then quietly taped down the truth as evidence.
  • The conversation was really recorded and she also severely scolded the other party.
  • The other party was with his friends, two big men.
  • Originally they were not civilized people and Arya was shoved and jostled by them.
  • After being scolded, they became even angrier and started to become aggressive.
  • In the midst of her emotional outburst, she became careless and the recorder fell out of her pocket during the scuffle.
  • She was caught red-handed and the situation became even more unruly.
  • The other party wanted to grab the recorder and she wanted to protect it.
  • So she, a woman fought against two big men.
  • It turned into a real fight!
  • And she was beaten up!
  • Arya's last impression was she had held the MP3 recorder tightly in her hands and held it in front of her chest.
  • She fell to the ground and crouched down like a dried shrimp to protect the recorder in her hands.
  • The men pulled her arm and kicked her belly and she felt extreme pain.
  • Someone shouted in the distance. "What are you doing? Stop! I've called the police!"
  • She was a little dazed and felt very scared.
  • She had never been beaten like this before.
  • She felt like crying but she did not seem to be able to do so.
  • She heard the sound of police sirens, she heard someone say to send her to the hospital, and then when she finally woke up, she found herself actually in the hospital.
  • She was pushed into the emergency room for examinations, dressings, sewing up her wounds, and injections.
  • After being handled for a long period of time, she finally fell asleep.
  • When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the hospital ward.
  • The police came, her colleagues came and even her insurance customer also came.
  • After this incident, the insurance compensation process seems to be progressing in the direction that she was hoping for.
  • The two men who had assaulted her were detained and the conversation she recorded was still there.
  • In order to protect himself, the other party had harmoniously accepted responsibility for the car accident.
  • He had also agreed to pay for Arya's hospital expenses and other related expenditures.
  • All these matters she got to know one after another.
  • When she was first admitted to the hospital, her condition was quite serious and she had a fever.
  • According to her fellow patients, she had talked a lot of nonsense throughout the night.
  • After she heard that, Arya felt very embarrassed.
  • She must have been very noisy and had disturbed the other patients to the extent of depriving them of their sleep.
  • One fellow patient waved her hand and said. "It's alright, it's alright. It's normal in a hospital. How can it be the same as being at home? But then, you must be acquainted with the doctor because I have been staying in this hospital for a few days and I only see the doctor when he comes on his daily rounds. But when you came in last night, he was always around and he would come in to check on you from time to time."
  • "Ah, it could be because I had a high fever and was in a serious condition. Since I had no one to nurse and look after me, maybe the doctor on duty was afraid something might happen to me." Arya touched her head and still felt very dizzy.
  • What actually happened last night, she really did not have any impression.
  • She only vaguely remembered she had held on to someone's hand and had said a lot.
  • "Yes, you really had a high fever. I heard it was 39 degrees and the nurse also gave you two injections."
  • Arya shook her head and said. "I absolutely don’t have any impression of the injections."
  • "You also held the doctor's hand and said a lot of things."
  • It is really disgraceful.
  • Arya sighed.
  • But then a patient who has a high fever is similar to a patient who has a mental illness.
  • Being a doctor he should have a lot of experience and should not mind.
  • "You should know the doctor, right?"
  • The fellow patient was still talking about this matter.
  • "The curtains were drawn and I could not hear clearly but I heard you keep calling him Dr. Jack Daniels."
  • What?
  • Had she insulted the doctor again?
  • She opened her mouth and was flabbergasted. "That doctor was not angry, was he?"
  • "I don’t think so. I didn’t see his expression. I just heard him keep talking with you. You said Dr. Jack…..something, something…..and then that Dr. Jack also answered you."
  • Her mouth opened wider and was stunned. "I called him Dr. Jack?"
  • She is done for!
  • It was embarrassing that she had treated another doctor as Jack Daniel.
  • What had she actually said?
  • Arya carefully asked and the fellow patient shook her head. "I couldn't hear clearly what you said. I was also a bit dazed and only half awake at that time. You can ask Dr. Jack, he is coming on his rounds today."
  • "Ask Dr. Jack Daniels?"
  • "Yes, Dr. Jack Daniels."
  • A bolt from the blue!
  • This time, Arya's mouth opened so wide that a duck's egg could be inserted. "Did I really talk with Dr. Jack and held his hand last night?" She asked.
  • "Yes. You were talking nonsense endlessly and it took me a great deal of effort to understand what you were saying." The person who answered was standing at the door of the ward.
  • Arya abruptly turned her head around and met the eyes of Jack.
  • The big white coat on him absolutely made him look very handsome.
  • Arya wanted to pretend to faint but at that moment, the hardness of women's dignity made her strongly maintain the expression on her face.
  • She is not guilty, she is very relaxed!
  • Jack came in with two junior doctors to conduct routine checks and diagnoses.
  • She closed her eyes and finally realized the situation she was in.
  • She felt very embarrassed.
  • She was assaulted and admitted into the hospital, the ward is very good, the doctor-in-charge is a handsome guy and his name is Jack Daniels.
  • She bit her lips.
  • Who would really understand this feeling of wanting to die?
  • She was clearly determined to break off all connections with him but why do they always meet under such embarrassing circumstances?
  • Her fragile self-esteem is like a man's -- that something -- like being suddenly kicked….. No, no…..she is a civilized person. She cannot be like him……say vulgar words and say vulgar metaphors.
  • She is a civilized person.
  • Arya blushed, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Jack.
  • He was explaining to the patient on the adjacent bed the way to consume medicine.
  • He turned around to see her watching him and he gave her a slight smile.
  • She turned her head away and stressed to herself that she is a civilized person, but at the same time she really wanted to give him two kicks.
