The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 229 Hospitalization

After the father and daughter arrived at the hospital, laughing and joking all the way, they had a long wait and tedious examinations. By the time all the examination items were finished, it was almost noon.

Ruyi took the report and followed Zhong Yunxing into the doctor's office.

"Doctor, please take a look at these lists." Ruyi handed all the results in her hand to the doctor.

The doctor looked at the list, asked Zhong Yunxing to lie down again, and looked at his gums again.

"This polyp on the gums is nothing serious. It can usually be removed directly in an outpatient surgery. But as you can see in this film, it is a cyst. This cyst is also one of the causes of his gum bleeding and toothache. But this can't be done in an outpatient clinic. He has to be hospitalized."

"Ah? Is it so troublesome?" When Zhong Yunxing heard that he had to be hospitalized, he felt very disgusted and instinctively didn't want to do it.

"Doctor, can we not do it?"

"No." Before the doctor could speak, Ruyi interrupted Zhong Yunxing.

"Doctor, you need to be hospitalized. Don't listen to my dad."

"Uncle, you should listen to the child. I also recommend that you have this type of cyst treated as soon as possible. Some cysts will grow larger and larger."

After the doctor said a few words to Zhong Yunxing, he turned to Ruyi and said, "Go make an appointment with the maxillofacial surgery department. You have to stay in their department in this case. The polyps can be removed at the same time. Just follow the doctor's instructions."

Ruyi followed the doctor's instructions and rushed to the maxillofacial surgery department to see the doctor and get a number to arrange for hospitalization. After going through the whole process, by around 4 p.m., Zhong Yunxing already had a bed.

"Is it so quick to get a hospital stay here?"

Zhong Yunxing sat in the corridor looking at Ruyi in disbelief. This was the most authoritative dental hospital in Yutian. The entire process from outpatient to hospitalization was so smooth and fast. Zhong Yunxing was really surprised.

"The doctor said that we are in a good time. There is an empty bed. If we don't do it today, someone else might take it tomorrow. Anyway, we are planning to have the surgery, so let's hurry up and not delay it."

Ruyi explained to Zhong Yunxing while putting away the purchased items.

Zhong Yunxing nodded sullenly, then lay on the hospital bed to rest for a while. After a whole day of hard work, he was indeed tired.

When Ruyi's cell phone rang, she took a look and saw that it was Xiao Huya calling, so she took the phone and went to the corridor to answer the call.

"My friend just called me back. The director will go to the ward to look at Dad's X-rays when he's on duty tonight. Calm yourself first and don't scare Dad. Wait until the results of the operation come out. Don't panic. If it's... we'll transfer him to another hospital."

Ruyi had been tense all day, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she received the call from Xiaohuya. When the maxillofacial doctor looked at the film and suspected that it was oral cancer, she was really scared.

Ruyi knew that one of Xiao Huya's high school classmates was a doctor, so she called him immediately. After contacting many parties, she was able to arrange for him to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Brother Du, I'm scared, really scared. What should I do if it's true..." Ruyi actually didn't hear what Xiao Huya was saying at all. She just kept muttering to herself with tears in her eyes.

"Ruyi, tell Dad the truth, what happened?"

Zhong Yunxing was not stupid. He could see through his daughter's disguise no matter how well she was doing. He quietly followed Ruyi out of the ward as soon as she left. When he saw her crying while holding the phone, he had already guessed something in his heart.

"Dad? Why did you come out? I'm fine. I...just had a quarrel with Lao Du...You should go back soon."

Ruyi hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, frowned, and spoke to Zhong Yunxing in a strong tone, as if she wanted to cover up her inner anxiety in this way.

"The kids are already that old, and they're still quarreling. Stop crying now. Dad will beat him up later and let me vent my anger."

Zhong Yunxing's mood was very complicated at the moment. He had already understood that this was probably a result that neither he nor Ruyi could accept. He could only pretend to be calm, touched Ruyi's head, and turned back to the ward.

Ruyi could no longer control her tears and sat on the stairs, hugging her knees and crying.

Zhong Yunxing sat on the hospital bed, feeling his head heavy, as if his thinking had become a little slow, and he didn't know what to do.

"Dad, eat something. I just bought some food at the hospital cafeteria. Just have a bite."

Ruyi adjusted her mood and returned to the ward. What Xiao Huya said was not wrong. Since the diagnosis has not been made yet, the probability of suspicion will not be more than half.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the nurse on duty suddenly came to the ward and called Zhong Yunxing to the examination room. Ruyi nervously followed him into the examination room.

In addition to the outpatient doctor during the day, there was also a male doctor in the examination room who looked about the same age as Zhong Yunxing. He should be the director that Xiao Huya mentioned.

"Zhong Yunxing, right? Come and lie down so I can take a look."

Zhong Yunxing followed the doctor's instructions and lay on a reclining examination chair. The director held an instrument in one hand and asked Zhong Yunxing every time he touched his teeth: "Do you feel anything?"

Zhong Yunxing answered the doctor's questions truthfully. He said that among all his teeth, only the one above the cyst had no feeling. The doctor tried it twice more, and the answer was still the same.

"Okay, get up."

Ruyi stood aside and didn't dare to breathe. She looked at the doctor nervously, but the doctor didn't even give her a responsive look.

In the end, it was Zhong Yunxing who asked first: "Doctor, how is it? What are you checking for?"

"How much anesthesia do you need to examine your tooth? The second surgery will be performed on your tooth at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest. Family members are required to sign and listen to the instructions."

The doctor didn't look up and kept writing on the medical record on the table.

After rushing Zhong Yunxing back to the ward, the chief doctor said to Ruyi: "It's hard to tell from the film whether it's an ordinary cyst, but this tooth doesn't have any electrical response right now. This isn't a good situation. We can only cut it out tomorrow and see. If necessary, I'll tell you to send it to the pathologist."

Ruyi seemed to have no strength to speak. She just kept nodding and signing. After signing countless names, she walked back towards the ward with heavy steps.

"Ruyi, let your mother come during the surgery tomorrow. I miss her."

Zhong Yunxing knew that Ruyi beside him was not asleep either, so he spoke to her softly.

"okay."

The next morning, Ruyi arranged for Xiao Huya to pick up Darong to the hospital. The father and daughter, who had not slept all night, also washed up and waited for the operation time.
