Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 795: Can Be Discharged from the Hospital
"My own person is right here, do I really need my wife to take care of the IV drip while eating by myself?
Am I a dead man or something?
Lu Jing’s eyes flickered, wanting to refuse but he didn’t have a chance to speak.
In the end, he had no choice but to be fed bite by bite.
Well, there’s no point making a fuss about it, as long as my stomach is full.
As for her, if she wants to feed me, then let her feed, anyway, I’m not lifting a finger.
Fortunately, the hospital room was a private one, with no distractions from others, and the two of them enjoyed their comfort.
About ten minutes later, Lu Jing was done eating, and he waved his right hand:
"I’m done, hand me a piece of paper."
Jiang Ye was quite enthusiastic about feeding him, but now that he was stopped, she felt quite disappointed.
"Have a bit more?" she coaxed.
Lu Jing instantly rolled his eyes:
"I can’t eat anymore."
Spoonful after spoonful, his stomach was already stuffed round.
That’ll do.
Finally, she gave up and dutifully handed over a piece of tissue paper.
Lu Jing wiped his mouth and hands, and then threw it back to her:
"You eat now."
"Okay, as my wife says."
The leftovers that Lu Jing couldn’t finish were all taken care of by her.
Everything that was ordered, including the few dishes and the rice, was gone without a trace.
It was evident that she was really hungry too.
After eating and drinking their fill, the couple had nothing else to do.
Lu Jing leaned back on the hospital bed, while Jiang sat on a stool by his side:
"Any movies you’d like to watch?" she asked.
Speaking of movies, Lu Jing’s mind went blank for a moment.
With work being so busy, how could he find time to keep up with such things?
He shook his head:
"No, have there been any good ones recently?" he asked.
Lu Jing himself had no time to pay attention to movies, and Jiang Ye had even less time to care.
She opened the app and began scrolling through the options.
Choose whatever looks good and watch it.
Lu Jing had no objections to that.
Soon enough, they found a super popular crime investigation film from the recent past to watch.
However, this two-hour movie was interrupted almost every ten to twenty minutes by phone calls.
Once, twice, three times...
By the fourth time, Lu Jing really lost his patience.
"Forget it, answer the call."
How can one enjoy the film with all these interruptions?
Jiang Ye was quite helpless as these calls were from the leaders, and she dared not ignore them.
Ah...
This time, Jiang Ye’s call lasted several minutes.
When she returned, Lu Jing was already asleep.
She was careful not to disturb him, lightening her steps as she entered.
Tiptoeing to his bedside, she saw there wasn’t much fluid left in the IV bag, just a few minutes more to go.
Now, she really couldn’t stray far.
Fortunately, no further calls came in during those few minutes.
When Lu Jing woke up next, it was already dark outside.
He had a good sleep, catching up on the lost rest from the previous several days.
As he opened his eyes, his body finally lost that groggy, uncomfortable feeling.
"Jiang Ye? Jiang Ye?"
He called out several times with no response, which was unusual.
Slowly sitting up, just as he was preparing to get out of bed, he heard the door open and someone walk in.
"Awake?"
Lu Jing paused:
"Yeah, how long have I slept?" he asked.
She looked at the time:
"Six hours."
Sheesh.
No wonder he felt so refreshed.
That was roughly how long he usually slept in a night.
"Since you’re awake, let’s get ready for discharge."
Discharge?
At the mention of that, Lu Jing became spirited:
"I can be discharged?"
Wasn’t she the one who said he had to stay for at least one day?
