Chapter 13 High Expenses

  Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Fourth Hospital. Meng Jun's physical strength had recovered a bit, and he strode towards the emergency room. The nurse there told him that his father had been taken into the operating room and should have finished the surgery by now. The hospital had opened up a green channel for them to receive aid without paying first, but they would need to pay the surgical fees as soon as possible.

  "Alright, alright, I'll definitely pay later. How's my dad doing now?"; Meng Jun nodded without hesitation, as if she didn't care how much money was spent, her hands were full of wealth.

  "It's still unclear and we'll have to wait until after the surgery to know the result, anyway, when he was sent here, he was almost gone." The nurse said with a wooden expression.

  "What? Oh my god!"; Meng Jun only felt a dizziness, she staggered two steps, almost fell to the ground.

  "How can you be so heartless as a nurse? How can you say something like that directly to her face? Can't you see how much she's suffering?" Du Mingfeng's heart ached as he hurriedly hugged Meng Jun and comforted him.

  "What are you yelling at me for? I'm not the driver who caused the accident. Didn't she just ask? Of course, I have to answer truthfully, that's what medical staff should do. How can you be so unreasonable? Don't we have compassion? Humph! If we only had compassion, those patients would have died long ago! Can compassion cure illnesses? Can it save lives? Besides, wasn't I just reporting the patient's condition as requested by your family? Do you want me to say the dead are alive? Honestly!"

  The little nurse was clearly furious, speaking non-stop like a flood.

  "Come on! Brother Mingfeng, let's hurry up! What's the point of offending them when it comes to Dad's treatment? Let's go take a look at the operating room instead!" Mengjun held back her tears, she knew clearly that she had to be strong now, this was the time when her father needed her the most, and so did this family.

  "Go! Don't be afraid! Remember, Meng Jun, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side to support you!" Du Mingfeng said this with an unusually firm tone, although he could already foresee what lay ahead.

  Two people walked to the operating room door, and the surgical light was still on, proving that the operation had not ended yet. Meng Jun suddenly felt very cold, so cold that she was trembling all over, a bad premonition spreading from the bottom of her heart. She bit her lower lip tightly, using this faint pain to warn herself, not letting herself pass out. After who knows how long, the light at the operating room door finally went out, and Meng Jun immediately walked up quickly.

  "Doctor, how's my father?"

  "Oh, temporarily out of danger for his life, but still unconscious. According to eyewitnesses, your father was knocked down by a sedan and hit the ground with his head. To be honest, it's lucky he can hold on to his life." The doctor took off his mask and took a deep breath before saying this.

  "What? Can my dad wake up then?" Meng Jun only felt a hand grasping her neck tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

  "It's hard to say, there have been cases of awakening in the past, but it requires special care and relatively expensive treatment." The doctor looked at Meng Jun up and down, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Beautiful things are liked by everyone, especially girls like Meng Jun who are beautiful and pure. A girl like her should still be in school, right? How could her family leave her alone here after something so big happened? How can such a delicate girl bear the blow? As a doctor who has seen life and death, he felt a pang of sympathy when saying these words.

  "Thank you, Doctor!" Meng Jun let out a long sigh after hearing the doctor's words. As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, she would work hard for it, no matter what price she had to pay, and she must make her father wake up.

  "Don't mention it, this is what we should do. The patient will be sent to the ICU soon, so you can't visit today. You go back first, the surgery fee is still owed, you pay it off tomorrow!"

  "How much?" Meng Jun asked with a worried heart.

  "It's a total of 70,000 yuan!" The doctor paused for a moment and said with great care.

  "Ah?" Although he had mentally prepared himself for it, Meng Jun still felt his head spinning when he heard the number.

  "Meng Jun, Meng Jun, don't worry, I've already saved 30,000 yuan, you can use it first." Du Mingfeng hurriedly supported Meng Jun's arm. This number also greatly shocked him.

  "You must be mentally prepared! This is just the initial cost, and the subsequent treatment will require several times this amount of money!" The doctor completed his mission and left in a hurry.

  "I'll think of a way, there must be a way." Meng Jun struggled free from Du Mingfeng's arm and slowly walked away.
