Chapter 265 - Too busy to save the world today.
At the hospital,
Feng Yi Lan screamed as she saw the doctor again entering the room. "Dr Collin, I am telling you … I am not going to let you treat me. You are just holding some grudge against me and intentionally inflicting pain to my poor ankle. Don't you dare come near with your instruments or I will just go and break my other ankle." She threatened as she was all ready to jump off the hospital bed.
Being her doctor for years now, Dr Collin was well accustomed to this pretty lady's sweet tantrums. He was not too aged but neither too young; much more like the same age as the young Director of Feng Internationals. His charms were different as he was a beautiful combination of two races.
He almost chuckled when heard her say something like that. "Blackmailing me with your other ankle. I don't think I will be at loss if you break it, instead it will bring me more money. If you want, you can try it. I won't mind treating both ankles together".
"Doctors sure are heartless. If not others, then definitely you are a heartless one!" Feng Yi Lan said with an angry pout.
Dr Collin did not say anything, just shrugged his shoulders off in mysteriousness. Then moving his eyes towards the man who has been sitting beside Feng Yi Lan all this time, he said, "Seems like your little girl has just grown up in height, Director Qi. Her behaviour is still the same as it has been before. Tsk … tsk … are you not going to complain about the pain she is causing to you?"
It was then when Feng Yi Lan realized that all this time she has been gripping his arms mercilessly to relieve her pain. Her nails dig deep into his skin, leaving some traces of blood at the sides. But all this while she did not hear even a simple 'ouch' of wince from the man's lips.
Looking at him, she thought to say something but then restrained herself thinking, 'How are my words even a concern to him? It's his fault for not telling me to let go of his hands. Now he is himself responsible for this pain. Not like I love to see him in the pain like this'. She thought, turning her head cantankerously.
Qi Shuai looked at her stubborn, childish tantrums and shook his head. The doctor was not wrong. Her little girl has just grown up in height. Her instincts are still as childish as before.
"Dr Collin, please check and treat her injuries first. She is in pain", he said, politely smiling towards the doctor.
The doctor too nodded, reciprocating to his words. But the moment he took his steps forward, Feng Yi Lan screamed again. "Stop there! I already said that I am not going to take any murderous treatment from you Dr Collin. I will simply not. So don't you dare take your steps towards me".
"Yi Lan, it's a small injury. Once he treats you, you will feel better. Let him!" Qi Shuai said to calm her down, caressing her hands lightly with his smooth touches. She was still gripping his arms hard but he had no time to look at his own pain.
At this moment the only thing he cared for, was her ankle. Though it was just a small injury, it was still paining her. Though he can see her shrugging off that pain with her worst lame jokes, still her pale complexion could not lie. She was definitely in real pain.
This pain would have not been anything if it had been someone else in place of her. But knowing her since her childhood, he knew well that she was not good at handling even a prick of injections on her skin.
"Who do you think you are, to take my life – death decision?" She said, intensifying the grip of her clutch on his arm but then again, relieving it lightly, she sobbed childishly, "I am definitely not going to take any treatment, at least not until I take a look at my friend. What if I can never meet her after this? Let her come and then I can die peacefully".
"Ms Feng, I doubt this minor injury ever brought anyone's death. Don't worry, we will check after treating if you are dead or alive", Dr Collin said playfully but was instantly silenced when saw the man at the side sending glares at him. This was unusual but was something that could not be taken lightly.
The easy – loving mood of the young Director was well known in the country but there were also some stories about his sharp moves that can never be risked by taking lightly. "Ahh … I mean there is no risk at the end, Ms Feng. Please let us treat you fast so that we can lighten your pai …"
Before he could complete the last syllable of the word 'pain', the door of the room was pushed open, forcing a gush of warm wind inside. His back was facing the door so he was yet to see who was there but he could feel the warm presence inside.
"Yi Lan, are you fine? What happened to you?" Li Xue's concerned voice almost made Feng Yi Lan run into her embrace but unfortunately, she was not in the condition to leap and run around.
"Li Xue, it's so painful. My ankle is broken. Now how am I going to bear the pain of envy, every time I see my brand models walking on the ramp?" she sobbed with pitiful tears rolling down her cheeks. Though the reasons were childish, it was still capable of pulling the string of Li Xue's heart. She can never bear her dear friend in tears.
Instantly bending down she looked at her ankle. It was red and swollen, a little more severe than she actually thought. Turning around she caught the doctor with her eyes and asked in a worried tone. At this moment she looked none less than a mother who was concerned for her daughter's injuries.
"Doctor, how is her ankle? It looks a little severe"
"…"
But no reply came as the doctor was too stunned to say anything.
At the side, warning bells rang in Qi Shuai's head. But was there any time in which he could save the man? Nope, maybe not. He was too busy to save the world today!
