Chapter 44: Little Big Shot... Armed for self-defense, want some?

In the middle of the night, the factory hospital received a sick child. The on-duty doctor, seeing the child's face pale with pain, quickly had him taken to the emergency room.

After an examination and inquiring about the child's condition from the parent, the doctor already had a general idea.

"Don't worry," the doctor looked at the child's parent, a tall and strong man whose face turned pale, probably from fear. So, he comforted, "Acute gastroenteritis. The child was brought in on time, and the symptoms are not very severe. Later, I'll prescribe some glucose for him. Take care of him; he might experience vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain."

Song Wenbin nodded hastily, carefully noting the doctor's words. His face was full of remorse, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let the child eat the burnt meat."

Seeing Song Wenbin blaming himself, Xiang Chen also felt guilty. His uncle was genuinely kind, and it was his own ignorance.

"Uncle," he tugged at Song Wenbin's sleeve, his voice weak due to illness, "It's not your fault. It's my bad. I ate a lot of candies, I'm sorry..."

The doctor was writing a prescription and couldn't help but smile at their conversation. Eating a couple of candies couldn't cause such symptoms. However, seeing the child solemnly comforting the adult, the doctor couldn't resist teasing him, "How many did you steal?"

Thinking the doctor was asking about his condition, Xiang Chen quickly recalled, stammering, "Six... six candies, all milk candies..."

When Xu Hengzhou left, he didn't leave many candies for him, just around ten or so. Xiang Chen saved them to eat one per day, but he finished all six of them last night.

The doctor glanced at Song Wenbin with surprise. The conditions at home seemed quite good to afford the child such candies.

Song Wenbin was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that it must be something Xu Hengzhou bought for him. With his eldest nephew having money and tickets, he didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Doctor, is it okay for him to eat candies?" Song Wenbin asked, fearing that he might not have explained his situation clearly, affecting the doctor's diagnosis.

The doctor shook his head with a smile, "It's fine. However, children shouldn't eat too many candies; it's not good for their teeth. Candy consumption should be moderate."

The doctor prescribed medication for Xiang Chen and arranged for a nurse to take them to the hospital room. Song Wenbin lifted Xiang Chen and followed the nurse.

As the doctor brought the prescribed medicine, Xiang Chen was now on the bed, clutching his stomach and vomiting. He was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The nurse skillfully hung the IV bag, asked Song Wenbin to hold Xiang Chen steady, and prepared to administer the injection. Xiang Chen's hands were fleshy, and when stretched out, small dimples could be seen on the back of his hand. Pitifully, he glanced at the needle in the nurse's hand, turned his head to the side, and whispered, "Sister, please be gentle..."

Unable to resist a smile, the nurse lightened her touch involuntarily.

The doctor watched as the nurse finished the injection and complimented Song Wenbin with a smile, "Very good, the child is quite obedient."
