Chapter 195: Dad, are you okay?

Chapter 195: Dad, are you okay?

Zuo Zuying, who was playing cat's cradle with the nurse, heard Zuo Shangdang's weak call and immediately turned his head to look at his bed.

"Huh?"

!!!

"Oh my god, Dad, heavens, the pillar of our family, you're finally awake! I was worried sick about you. At your age, why do you still pull stunts like this? If you can't handle alcohol, just don't drink! Look at you, not only did you drink yourself into the hospital, but you also had me worried to death."

The little nurse beside him also followed Zuo Zuying and gathered around, only then noticing the empty IV bottle.

Her heart sank, and she quickly looked down at Zuo Shangdang's hand with the IV needle.

At a glance, she saw that Zuo Zuying was sitting on the hand with the IV needle.

Zuo Shangdang trembled and raised his other hand to push Zuo Zuying: "Hand... hand..."

Zuo Zuying, sitting on his father's hand, shifted his weight further in, grabbing the other hand his father had raised, "Dad, I know, I know your hand hurts. It's alright, it's alright. The doctor said it's just a dislocated little finger, and it's already been set. It's fine!"

Zuo Shangdang, pale and weak, muttered, "I... I mean... my hand..."

Zuo Zuying crossed his legs and shifted his weight further in, leaning closer to his father, "Oh, why do you keep going on about your hand? I already told you your hand is fine. What's wrong now is your head. How are you feeling? Does your head hurt? The doctor said you might have a concussion when you woke up. Are you dizzy? Do you feel nauseous?"

The little nurse, alarmed, grabbed Zuo Zuying's arm, trying to pull him up, but couldn't budge him, as he was fully focused on caring for his father.

"Your dad said you're sitting on his hand, not that his finger hurts. No, your dad is saying his hand hurts!"

Zuo Zuying was shocked, only then realizing he was sitting on his father's hand with the IV needle. He quickly jumped up in a panic, "What? Dad, is your hand okay?"

"You kept saying 'hand, hand,' I thought your finger hurt and wanted me to kiss it better!"

They all looked down and saw that the needle in Zuo Shangdang's hand had been pushed out of his skin by Zuo Zuying's weight, and the gauze was dotted with blood, looking gruesome.

Zuo Shangdang felt like he was about to meet his maker. If it weren't for the fact that this was his own son, he would suspect that the other party was deliberately trying to kill him!

"Ah, Dad, are you okay? Oh, it's all my fault, I was so worried I didn't notice. Dad, you must forgive me~"

The little nurse standing nearby quickly stepped forward to handle the situation. Zuo Zuying helped Zuo Shangdang sit up, then stood by watching the nurse treat his hand, continuously blaming himself for being careless and feeling deeply remorseful.

The head nurse came over upon hearing the news, looking at Zuo Shangdang with a guarded expression, "What happened?"

The little nurse quickly stood up and timidly said, "Head nurse, Comrade Zuo's father woke up. He was so excited and happy that he didn't notice and sat on his father's hand. His father got angry, and he's been apologizing non-stop, scared."

Zuo Zuying also turned around, tears in his eyes, looking at the head nurse with a pitiful expression, clearly looking like he had been badly wronged.

The head nurse, seeing Zuo Zuying's pitiful state, unhappily advised Zuo Shangdang, "Comrade, the child didn't mean it, don't blame him. Look how scared he is."

"You have no idea how worried he was when he brought you in. He was about to kneel in the lobby downstairs, begging the doctors to save you, crying so hard his face turned red. Where can you find such a filial child? If I had such a good child, I would cherish him dearly@#@#%#……%&……*……%#@#@"

Zuo Shangdang......

The head nurse went on for more than ten minutes, talking about how filial the child was, how elders shouldn't blame children without reason, how he should take care of his health and not trouble the child...

Finally, he heard an important piece of information.

"You were drunk and acting recklessly on a motorcycle, how dangerous! Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about the danger to your child. You wanted to soar like a great bird, but if something went wrong, you could have dragged the child down with you. Remember to drink less in the future!"

Zuo Shangdang's brain started to work.

Were you drinking?

Yes, he drank. That troublemaker got him drunk, so he was brought to the hospital drunk.

"Whew..."

Zuo Shangdang let out a long sigh of relief. He was scared to death, but it turned out to be just a dream. He raised a smile and interrupted the head nurse's nagging, saying weakly, "Thank you, ma'am... thank you. You're right... it makes sense... it's all my fault. Zuying is a good child!"

"I've caused you trouble... sorry about that!"

The head nurse was satisfied, "It's good that you've realized your mistake. Don't blame the child anymore. What a good and caring child he is. He was so worried about you when he saw you fall like that, crying his heart out."

After the head nurse and others left, Zuo Shangdang looked at Zuo Zuying with a complex expression. This kid has always been at odds with him since childhood, but at the critical moment... indeed, family is family!

"Dad, are you feeling better? You scared me to death. Don't try to be a hero anymore, and don't drink so much again!" Zuo Zuying looked at his father with concern.

Zuo Shangdang said sheepishly, "Did I really try to soar into the sky on a motorcycle and then fall off?"

Zuo Zuying sighed, "Not just that, you almost burned down the room, you kept taking off your clothes and dancing, and you forced me to write a 100,000 yuan IOU. You put your fingerprint on it and told me to borrow money from Brother Leopard. You said you wanted to roam the world with a sword, robbing the rich to help the poor..."

Zuo Shangdang's head was pounding, and he quickly interrupted Zuo Zuying, "100,000!!!!"

"No... that can't be, right? Brother Leopard's interest rates are sky-high. How could we borrow that much? And 100,000? I was drunk, but you weren't. You didn't actually go to borrow it, did you?"

"You made me write it! We haven't borrowed it yet. You got into trouble, and the IOU is still with me!" As he spoke, Zuo Zuying took out a note and handed it to Zuo Shangdang.

Zuo Shangdang's heart almost jumped out of his mouth, "I don't remember any of this at all. That's terrifying. Good thing we didn't borrow it. Tear it up, tear it up quickly."

Zuo Zuying looked around and lowered his voice, "That's not all. You almost blurted out all your shady secrets to the world. Luckily, I cleaned up after you!"

Zuo Shangdang's face turned pale, "What... what shady secrets? What shady things did I do? Don't talk nonsense."

His tone carried a hint of guilt, and his eyes were a bit evasive.

Zuo Zuying sneered inwardly but maintained a serious expression on his face, "It's the stolen goods you hid, the ones you told me to throw into the Yellow Sand River to destroy the evidence. How come you don't remember any of it?"

Zuo Shangdang was shocked, fragments of memories flashing through his mind. Then his body went limp, and he slumped to the side.

"Hey, hey, Dad, Dad, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Zuo Zuying quickly supported the sliding Zuo Shangdang.

"Pfft~"

A bubble of saliva landed on the knuckle of his index and middle fingers, and he violently pinched Zuo Shangdang's neck.

This is how they treat heatstroke in the countryside—by pinching to release the heat!
