Chapter 37: Wu Yu 06 (1)
I have never gone to a hospital with a girl in the past and never would have thought that having Tan Jiao with me would be such a fun and somewhat troublesome experience.
I explained briefly that I had fallen from a slope to the E.R doctor, but I received a look of disapproval from Tan Jiao. Then she proceeded to elaborate on the incident, even using gestures at some points. “Doctor, it was this… high of a slope. The ground was uneven with rocks and tree roots. After I found him, he was unconscious for at least five minutes.”
The doctor was a young man with a friendly face. He became interested when he heard the explanation. “Oh? That’s how hard he fell? How did he fall?”
I was about to say it was an accident to end this meaningless conversation, but Tan Jiao let out a sigh before pulling a chair to sit on beside me. “Doctor, I can’t tell you too much about this, but… we were pursuing a criminal. He went after the criminal but ended up injuring himself.”
“Oh… Oh… Turn around, let me check your wound.”
Receiving the gaze of an attentive doctor and her sparkling eyes, I turned around speechlessly.
She seemed somewhat different from when I first met her one year ago, where she seemed cheerful and happy while possessing an air of coldness and hostility. Now that I had spent some time with her, I found that her hostility was merely her protection against strangers.
She was actually very warm, hospitable, and kind.
After conducting a detailed check of my head wound, the doctor asked about my body reflexes. However, the questions were not directed at me, but at Tan Jiao. She answered all the questions in great detail, with at least a hundred words for each question. She described everything vividly with a measured cadence as though she was telling a story. An author she is.
