Chapter 1761: Missing Daughter

That Miss Qiao had not told a single soul about her discharge. Not a single member of the Qiao family had known about it. That could only mean that Miss Qiao had her own plans, and she was deliberately avoiding the Qiao family.

The kind nurse had no idea about the specifics of Qiao Nan's plans, but since Qiao Nan was trying to avoid the Qiao family, the nurse would do all she could to help Qiao Nan buy some time so that the Qiao family would only find out about this as late as possible.

It was nothing more than a lunch box. It was no big deal. Although her colleague did not really understand her intentions, there were too many patients to take care of in the hospital. As such, within a minute, that nurse had already completely forgotten about this matter and had gone off to work.

The next morning, Qiao Dongliang came to deliver breakfast to Qiao Nan with a haggard expression. Obviously, the news that there was something wrong with Qiao Nan's health and that she might not be able to donate her kidney to Qiao Zijin in time had taken its toll on Qiao Dongliang, who was now worried sick. Qiao Dongliang had only had a few hours of sleep the previous night.

"Hello, I'm the family member of one of your patients. I've brought breakfast for her. Please give me the lunch box from yesterday." Because both his daughters had been hospitalized at the same time, the Qiao family had many thermal lunch boxes. They had prepared four lunch boxes so that they would be able to use them interchangeably. When delivering breakfast, Qiao Dongliang had to ensure that he took along the lunch boxes from the previous night. Otherwise, he would not be able to send lunch over.

"Oh, all right." The nurse was already familiar with Qiao Dongliang by now. Seeing that there was a familiar thermal flask on her work station, the nurse immediately picked it up to hand it over to Qiao Dongliang. But when the nurse picked up the thermal flask, she could feel that it felt different from usual. "Oh, there's still something inside. It seems that she didn't eat much."

"Let me take a look." After exchanging the lunch boxes with the nurse, Qiao Dongliang opened up the lunch box from the previous day. It was not that she had not eaten much. She had not even touched this at all! Qiao Dongliang's expression stiffened. "Is my daughter feeling unwell? Is that why she has a poor appetite and didn't eat?"

The nurse did not think much about it and laughed. "That might not be the case. If my memory serves me well, your daughter has been hospitalized for two months. You must know that our patients move around much less than an average person. Since they expend less energy, it's only natural that their appetite is poorer than the average person's. I've always been curious about how your daughter has such a great appetite, seeing that your family sends so much food at every mealtime. Some healthy people occasionally can't digest well or are too bloated to eat the next meal after a heavy meal. If you're really worried, maybe you can check on her or ask her doctor about how she's doing."

Perhaps even the heavens were on Qiao Nan's side. Some nurses knew about Qiao Nan's discharge, but it so happened that the nurse that Qiao Dongliang had met did not. She thought that Qiao Nan was still hospitalized. As such, she had delivered a reasonable answer very calmly.

Qiao Dongliang could not tell that the nurse had been lying, and even the nurse herself did not know that she had unwittingly told a lie. The patient, Qiao Nan, had already been discharged the previous afternoon and was no longer a patient in their hospital.

The nurse's answer was well-founded. And because Qiao Dongliang was not entirely without a conscience, he still could not find it in himself to face Qiao Nan calmly, as should be the case for having asked Qiao Nan to donate her kidney even after she had gotten into an accident and provided money for Qiao Zijin's treatment.
