Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 40 - Hospital
Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Hospital
Chapter 40 -40 Hospital
“Heehee, Aunt is shy,” Xiao Yu said, covering his little mouth and giggling.
Susu glared at both young and old, “Shouldn’t you be serving the food already?”
Watching his wife’s huffy back, Lu Xiaoting patted Xiao Yu’s butt.
“Don’t talk nonsense, or you might make Aunt Su mad, and she’ll ignore both of us.”
“Lu Xiaoting!”
A woman’s annoyed voice came from inside, as the man’s thin lips slightly curved upward.
The little guy, covering his little mouth, laughed like a cat that just stole a snack.
Both young and old exchanged smiles and quickly served plates and bowls.
Before long, it was July,
and the weather grew even hotter.
The kitchen’s two big pots were steaming, making the whole room as sweltering as a sauna, drenching everyone in sweat.
The three of them took turns watching the fire; otherwise, they couldn’t stand it.
As soon as Susu left the kitchen, breezes blew by, bringing instant relief.
“Oh my, Xiao Su, you’re finally back.”
As soon as Susu entered the Family Court, someone called her with an anxious face.
“My goodness, why are you just coming back? Your Lu Gong’an has been injured; he’s now in Provincial City Hospital.”
“What???”
Susu felt her head buzz and immediately ran outside.
“Ah, this situation, I just hope Lu Gong’an isn’t too severely hurt.”
“Ah~”
…
Susu got the information on Lu Xiaoting’s ward and ran there without stopping.
Gasping for air, hands on her waist, she asked, “How is Lu Xiaoting doing?”
“Sister-in-law is here.”
“Younger sister.”
The two policemen standing by quickly got up and gestured to talk outside.
Susu cast a glance at the unconscious man on the bed and followed them out, keeping a stern face.
“What exactly happened?”
“Sister-in-law, today our station was supporting the higher authorities in a pursuit, and Lu Gong’an was stabbed in the abdomen as he saved a colleague, then fell from a height.”
The younger policeman hit his head in vexation, “It’s all because I wasn’t careful enough.”
“Don’t blame yourself, that guy was just too cunning.”
The slightly older policeman patted the younger one’s shoulder, looking very serious.
“Fortunately, it wasn’t a vital spot.”
Hearing this, Susu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she learned that the two men had footed the bill for the surgery and hospital fees, Susu quickly reached into her pocket to repay them.
But she had left home in such a hurry that she didn’t bring much money, which embarrassed her.
“I rushed out so quickly, I don’t have enough money. Please take this for now, and I’ll pay you back when I go home, okay?”
“Hey, you’re being too formal, younger sister.”
Seeing the two nod, Susu sighed in relief.
Susu took the chance before the two left to quickly call her father-in-law.
Then she hurried back to the new house to arrange the afternoon’s work and took care of Xiao Yu. Carrying four meals, she rushed back to the hospital non-stop.
As soon as Father Lu heard his son was in the hospital, he immediately took leave from the factory and went to find his wife.
In the middle of the day, Susu, sweating profusely and panting, handed over two lunch boxes to the two policemen.
“Thanks for your trouble, have something to eat before you go back.”
“No need, we can eat when we get back.”
The two refused to eat, and Susu insisted they eat, saying in this weather, the food would spoil before evening if left uneaten.
After sending the two off, Susu looked at the man on the bed with a calm face and sighed.
According to the doctor, he would likely wake up in the afternoon.
Running around all morning, Susu was also exhausted and started to feel more and more drowsy as she leaned on the hospital bed.
When Lu Xiaoting woke up, he noticed a strange sensation in his hand and turned to look.
He saw a delicate little face with gently closed eyes, small hands tightly gripping his palm.
The man’s brows knitted slightly as he gently brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen on her face.
Susu frowned, groggy, as if she saw the man’s eyes open.
She jolted upright, “You’re awake?”
“How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable? Should I call the doctor?”
Lu Xiaoting’s wheat-colored face flushed with a suspicious redness, his lips mumbling a few times.
Seeing the man hesitated to speak, Susu gave him an irritated stare, “Just spit it out, don’t be pussyfooting around like a big baby.”
Feeling somewhat disdained by his own wife, and indeed quite desperate, Lu Xiaoting cleared his throat.
He glanced away shyly, “Ahem, that–”
“That what?” Susu snapped.
“Ahem, I, I need to use the restroom.”
Susu’s eyes widened as she reflexively scanned the man’s lower half.
The next second, she saw his large hand slowly move to cover his private area.

Susu: “…”
There was no choice; she couldn’t let a grown man wet the bed, as that would be truly embarrassing.
“Support me well, make sure to hold me steady.”
Susu repeated the instruction, concerned.
Lu Xiaoting’s face was full of smiles, his arm resting on the slender shoulders of the woman, an indescribable fragrance filling his nostrils.
If one looked closely, they could see his ears were beet red.
In the deserted men’s restroom, Susu knocked for a long while without anyone responding, then led Lu Xiaoting inside.
Just as Susu wondered whether she should assist the man or not, she heard Lu Xiaoting’s voice above her head.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
“Oh, oh, oh.”
Susu nodded like pounding garlic, at the sound of the man’s chuckle, her little face flushed as she stumbled out of the restroom.
The man at the door was startled, looked up at the men’s restroom sign, then turned his head to look at the woman standing outside, his face full of shock.
“Good gracious~I must’ve run into a female hooligan.”
With a “bang,” the restroom door was slammed shut.
Susu: “…”
Heh heh heh.
Brother, you are so… absolutely adorable!!!
In the hospital room
Susu made him comfortable, “You sit tight; I’ll go get some water.”
“Okay.”
As he watched his wife leave the room, Lu Xiaoting had just closed his eyes when he heard an old lady nearby say,
“Young man, your wife is really good. Hearing you were in the hospital, she rushed over here, fussing over you.”
“Exactly, exactly, you weren’t awake at the time, but we all saw it; she was so worried about you.”
“Hearing from those two police officers that it was a work injury, that you got hurt while catching a criminal, it’s really something!!”
Lu Xiaoting listened to the other patients in the room, each commenting patiently and occasionally responding.
When Susu returned with a warm thermos, seeing this she was quite astonished. She was just about to tease the man when the room’s door was pushed open.
“Dad, Mom, little sister.”
The Lu family, mother, and daughters, carrying bags both big and small, hurried in.
Seeing Lu Xiaoting’s pale lips and his leg wrapped up, the mother and daughter immediately had tearful eyes.
Father Lu’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes slightly red, “How is it? Is it serious? Any permanent damage?”
“How did this happen all of a sudden?”
“Sister-in-law, how is my second brother?”
Seeing his parents and sister panicking, Lu Xiaoting quickly assured them that there was nothing seriously wrong with him and asked them to relax.
Susu glared at the man irritably, “What do you mean nothing serious? You’ve broken your leg; it will take a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries.
And you were stabbed in the belly. Fortunately, it didn’t hit anything vital.”
