Chapter 797 — Deliberately Smashed?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Young Master, but I think this whole thing might be a blessing in disguise!" Wang Shubin shook his head and said to Kang Jingming.
"Oh? What do you mean? My leg is broken, and that's supposed to be a good thing?" Kang Jingming blinked, so furious he wanted to curse. This Wang Shubin — did the man not know how to comfort anyone?
"Young Master, think about it. Haven't you been wanting to get yourself a serious physical injury?" Wang Shubin said. "Well, look — now you have one ready-made! And it was an accident, so Guan Xin won't suspect a thing!"
"Hey — you know what, that actually makes sense!" Brightening at once, Kang Jingming said: "Wang Shubin, you're absolutely right! Broken leg or not, when you look at it this way, it's a good thing! Now I can go straight to Guan Xin!"
"That's right, Young Master. And Li Cihua said he'll compensate you with medical expenses! That way, not only have you achieved your goal of getting injured so you can get close to Guan Xin, you'll also get paid. It's a win-win!" Wang Shubin nodded. "If we'd injured ourselves, not only would we have suffered just as much, there'd be no one to compensate us either!"
"Ha! I really am too lucky! Squawk squawk! Today really is my lucky day — got so much done and getting paid to boot! Waa ha ha ha!" Kang Jingming burst into laughter.
The ambulance screamed all the way to the hospital, where Kang Jingming was carried in on a stretcher and wheeled into the emergency room!
Though his injuries were no trifling matter, Kang Jingming was still in high spirits. Suffering was suffering either way, and this way he'd killed two birds with one stone — he'd given himself a serious physical injury, and now he'd have a reason to approach Guan Xin.
Apart from the fractures in both legs, Kang Jingming had no other internal injuries, so the surgery was finished quickly. He was wheeled into a ward to recover.
"Where's Guan Xin? Why hasn't Guan Xin come yet?" Lying in his hospital bed, Kang Jingming could barely contain his eagerness. "Look at me — my face is injured, my legs are injured. It's that serious! Hurry up and go get Guan Xin!"
"Young Master, I'll go right now!" Wang Shubin nodded, thinking to himself: surely Guan Xin couldn't refuse this time?
And so Wang Shubin bolted out of the ward to find Guan Xin. He figured this had to fall under Guan Xin's jurisdiction.
As it happened, Guan Xin was still in the nurses' duty room. When Wang Shubin rushed in and saw her, his face lit up with joy. "Nurse Guan Xin, you're here! Our Young Master is injured — we urgently need your help! You see, we don't know anyone else in this hospital. Would you mind coming to take a look?"
Guan Xin hadn't expected Kang Jingming to be so relentless — showing up day after day, pestering her nonstop. What was wrong with this man? Would he ever give it a rest?
"Can't some other nurse tend to him? I haven't received any assignment to care for Kang Jingming." Guan Xin pointed to her duty roster and explained patiently. However annoying Kang Jingming might be, Guan Xin couldn't very well fly into a rage.
Guan Xin knew she was a member of the hospital staff and that everything she said and did could affect its reputation. Her father was even a shareholder in the hospital, which made it all the more important for her to hold herself to a higher standard and not give anyone cause for gossip. Even if few people knew her true identity, she herself had no desire to smear her father's and grandfather's names.
"No one's tending to him? Our Young Master is lying in his ward about to die, and not a single nurse has come to see to him! I don't even know who I'm supposed to find — you're the only person I know here!" Wang Shubin began spouting nonsense.
