Chapter 1384: Too Serious
“Doctor Gu, can we begin? Doctor Gu?”
Huo Erqi called out, pulling Gu Yici back to reality. For a moment there, he had forgotten that he was a doctor.
“Right. Let’s begin.”
While Gu Yici checked for any other injuries on Huo Erqi, he started to become furious.
There were bruises all over Huo Erqi’s body. From her hands to her waist, and even to her back.
Even her legs were covered with bruises.
When Gu Yici applied pressure on her stomach, Huo Erqi yelled out in pain.
It only made Gu Yici angrier. It was his first time losing his composure as a doctor.
He suspected that Huo Erqi had some broken ribs, and she might’ve hurt some of her internal organs.
Gu Yici asked Huo Yunshen to take Huo Erqi to have a CT scan to make sure.
Gu Yici’s suspicion was right when the results came back.
“There’s a slight rupturing of her spleen, and she has two broken ribs. She has to be admitted to the hospital for further treatment.”
“Look at this! And you said you were okay!” Huo Yunshen scolded Huo Erqi.
“I didn’t think it would be this serious…”
But the truth was that Huo Erqi was too embarrassed to leave her room after being beaten.
“Give me your ID card, I’ll go take care of the admission procedure.”
“Okay,” Huo Erqi said, opening her bag to give Huo Yunshen her ID.
Only Huo Erqi and Gu Yici were left after Huo Yunshen went to the reception desk.
Huo Erqi felt weird from being stared at by Gu Yici.
“Are you going to keep staring at me like that?”
“Oh, right. I almost forgot I still owe you 200,” Gu Yici said after letting out a few coughs.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to pay me back.”
Gu Yici had borrowed 200 dollars from Huo Erqi when he was at the airport in Fstan. He realized his wallet was gone and needed the money to take the cab because he was in a hurry. Huo Erqi happened to pass by, and after making sure that he wasn’t trying to scam her, she gave him the cash. She never expected him to return the money.
“No. It’s normal to pay back the money I borrowed! But I don’t have Fstan’s money now. I’ll give it back to you once I get some.”
Gu Yici realized that talking about debt was also a good excuse.
“You’re way too serious,” Huo Erqi commented.
“That’s how doctors are. What happened between you and your husband?”
“Don’t mention him. We’re already divorced.”
Huo Erqi did not want to think about Boris anymore. Mentioning him would only bring her pain and shame.
“Okay, okay. Then, do you have any plans after this?”
Gu Yici actually felt relieved when he heard that Huo Erqi was single.
“No, I haven’t thought of anything yet.”
Huo Erqi dropped her head and became even more depressed.
It would be hard for someone who had experienced what Huo Erqi had gone through to recover.
Gu Yici did not try to force his way with Huo Erqi. He knew that a person who was hurt would hide away from others.
