Chapter 229 – Do you need me to recuse myself?
Starry slept until after nine o’clock, when another group of patients came in inside the detention room, and some family members were crying.
A little after 6:00, Filip sent her a message asking what she wanted for breakfast.
The drip was finished, the needle was pulled out at some point, and she still had tape stuck to her hand.
Starry sent a message to Filip, raised his hand and pressed the red button behind him.
Soon, a nurse came over, “Where are you not feeling well?”
Starry shook her head, after a night of tossing and turning, she did not look very good, her mental state was not good, and her voice was still a little hoarse: “I have nothing more to do, can we leave the detention room now?”
“What time did you get in?”
The nurse took a side chart: “You came in at 4:30, you have to be out at 10:30.”
“I don’t feel much worse, can’t I go out early?”
“Try or go out at the time, or something happens, we can’t afford to take the responsibility.”
Starry pursed her lips, “Can I sign the waiver and can I leave now?”
She wanted to go to the bathroom, but she could not go to the bathroom in the detention room.
The nurse went through her chart again, “Is your family still there?”
“Yes, he’s outside.”
“Have your friend come in and pick you up, go to that clinic desk up front, print out all your information, and leave again.”
“Thanks.”
Starry hurriedly got out of bed and grabbed his cell phone, sending a message to Filip while he went to the clinic desk.
At this point in time, the emergency room was busy, and the two patients who had just come in seemed to be in quite serious condition, and there was no one at the consultation table.
The door to the holding room was closed and they could not open it except for the medical care.
“Then don’t come in, there’s nothing wrong with me, I’ll pick up my test results and I’ll be out.”
“Good.”
Starry waited for a small ten minutes, which was undoubtedly torturous, and got the information she ran straight out the door.
Fortunately, there was just a medical care in and out of the door, Starry did not need to call someone to open the door, directly followed out.
Just outside, she saw Filip.
After holding her pee for more than three hours, she couldn’t care less about greeting Filip at this time, shoving the things in her hand directly into his, throwing a “I’m going to the bathroom”, and running away.
When Starry came out of the bathroom, Filip was not far away.
Her face was hot, and for the first time in 27 years of living, she was in such a mess.
Her washed hands were drenched in cool water, and she lifted them up to her face and touched them, and the cool touch woke her up again for a few moments.
The hospital was getting crowded at this hour, and when she reached Filip, she remembered his stomachache: “The number you registered for, is it too late?”
“Not yet, there’s no rush.”
He said there was no rush, but Starry frowned a little: “Did you have a stomachache last night, all night long?”
Filip has always had a stomach problem, which she knew when she first married into the Pearson family, and because of this, she used to bring Filip meals at first.
Starry changed her expression when she thought of the old days, but soon, she recovered.
“The ten o’clock number, it’s not time yet.”
He pulled his jacket from his hand, “There’s a congee store across the street, want to eat?”
Starry nodded, “Eaten.”
She woke up feeling hungry, went to the bathroom, and now she’s even hungrier. When they left the hospital, as Filip said, there was a congee store right across the street.
At this time of the day, the working population has long since returned to the office, most of whom have come to the hospital to see patients, or are family members of patients.
Two people picked a window seat, ordered two bowls of congee, after eating just one more person to Filip’s number.
I hurried back to the hospital and was able to get to the department before I passed the number.
The door was already closed when Starry found herself following suit.
The doctor was already asking Filip what was going on, she stood aside, hesitated for a second, but still went over, and after Filip finished talking, added: “We ate barbecue last night, the ingredients of the barbecue are not too clean, I hung up the emergency room last night with gastroenteritis, and his stomach started to hurt last night.”
The doctor glanced at Starry, “When did your husband start having stomach pains?”
Starry moved his lips, but finally did not explain, raised his hand and gently touched the shoulder of the man in front of him: “Filip , when did you start to have a stomachache last night?”
Close by, Filip could clearly hear the woman’s soft voice.
He converged his eyebrows, looked at the medical record held in his hand, his thin lips moved and frankly stated the time of his stomach pain last night: “About one o’clock.”
Hearing his words, Starry’s heart was slightly startled.
Last night, when she was not feeling well, Filip thought it was not good enough to where, but he did not say anything, sent her to the hospital, hung up the emergency room, if she did not notice that his face was not right, he did not mention the matter of his stomach pain …
“It hurts a lot?”
The doctor pursued the question.
Filip pursed his lips for a moment: “It’s tolerable.”
“Ever had a gastroscopy?”
“Just did it last year.”
After being pushed by Starry, Filip was much more cooperative and answered whatever the doctor asked him.
“Did the stomach pains only start last night, or did you have them before?”
This question is obviously to the point, Filip silent for a second, before answering: “Last week, there was a pain, drink.”
Starry remembers this time, that night was Austin sent him over, he said stomach pain, want to drink honey water, she only thought he played a trick, but did not expect that it was true.
Gee, that’s pretty honest.
“Your stomach seems to be an old problem, more words I do not say, what should pay attention to I think you are clear, or pay more attention to yourself, I prescribe some medicine, this is a few days, try to eat lightly.”
While prescribing the medication, the doctor looked at Starry: “This stomach of your husband, it still depends on nourishment, or you take care of it more.”
Starry didn’t bother to explain this misunderstanding, she answered yes, and then followed Filip out of the clinic.
“Mr. Pearson is quite tolerant.”
Filip was paying his bill on his cell phone and had just paid it when he heard Starry’s words.
He looked up at her, his gaze falling on her face for a moment before he said, “It doesn’t really hurt.”
Starry also gave him a look, “That’s why I said you can tolerate it.”
Filip heard the mockery inside her words, the black eyes moved, and finally did not retort.
Although the whole night did not sleep much, but also into the hospital, but it can be seen, Starry’s mood is not bad.
There were so many people collecting medication that the two of them waited for twenty minutes before Filip’s name was on the screen.
It was eleven o’clock when we got out of the hospital and back to the villa, and it was time for lunch again.
Filip just got in the car and the phone rang.
Filip scanned the caller ID, “I’ll take a call.”
“Do you need me to recuse myself?”
Seeing her about to open the door, Filip reached out and pulled her back: “No, it’s not an important call.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Starry looked toward her clasped wrist, the man’s palm was warm and passed over her skin, and she felt her arm get a little warm too.
Starry twisted gently, twisting her hand out from under his, “Answer the phone.”
