Chapter 675 I Want to Go Home Immediately
In the slightly narrow corridor of Los Angeles Cornell Medical Center, Mu Xiaoji, dressed in a hospital gown,
He walked quickly towards the offices of Professors Adris and Drucker, as if he was familiar with the route but with an anxious and hurried pace.
His figure looked a little thin against the white walls and bright lights, and his footsteps on the smooth ground made quick and crisp sounds, as if he was racing against time.
Youyou followed closely behind Mu Xiaoji, her face full of worry and anxiety. She stretched out her hand to stop him and tried to persuade him earnestly:
"Brother Xiaoji, you really can't be discharged from the hospital. You've already endured these three difficult weeks of recovery. Waiting another week is not a big deal!
Don't worry, Uncle Song is well taken care of, so don't worry about him here. You are the one who needs a good rest the most, your body hasn't fully recovered yet!"
There was concern and helplessness in Youyou's voice. She knew Mu Xiaoji's temper very well, but she was really worried about his physical condition.
Mu Xiaoji kept walking, turned his head slightly to look at Youyou, and said with a tone that left no room for doubt:
"Youyou, be obedient. I am a doctor myself, and I know my physical condition well.
You're pregnant now, so you need to be extra careful with your movements. Don't follow me around and stop worrying about me all day long."
As Mu Xiaoji spoke, he continued to quicken his pace, his eyes revealing firm determination.
Seeing this, Youyou couldn't help but sigh softly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"I knew it. You're not worried about others. You're clearly worried about Brother Cheng Yu waking up, so you can't wait to see him right away, right?
Judging from your performance during this period, not to mention other things, your diligence in eating, taking medicine, and exercising is completely unlike your previous self.
You, for no other reason than to go home early and see your beloved little monster!" There was a hint of anger in Youyou's eyes, but more of it was understanding and heartache for Mu Xiaoji.
After hearing what Youyou said, Mu Xiaoji paused for a moment, then frankly admitted, "So what? Don't you want him to come back safely?
It is my heart's desire for him to come back. I said I would do anything as long as the little monster wakes up."
There was a determined light in Mu Xiaoji's eyes, which showed his deep friendship and concern for Jiang Chengyu.
Youyou looked at Mu Xiaoji's persistent look, and her heart moved. She jokingly hypothesized:
"What if everyone still hopes you two can get back to normal and tells you to break up? After all, your relationship journey has been full of twists and turns."
When Mu Xiaoji heard this hypothesis, he suddenly stopped and seemed to be frozen in place.
He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, constantly thinking about the possibility that Youyou mentioned.
After a while, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "If everyone is really like this, then I will find a quiet and peaceful forest where I can hide away from the world with my little monster and live in seclusion from now on.
This time, I must cherish him no matter what. I will never let him suffer any injustice again, let alone any harm because of me."
Although Mu Xiaoji's voice was not loud, every word seemed to carry a heavy determination.
Youyou looked at Mu Xiaoji, feeling a little reluctant, but she continued to softly hypothesize, "What if Brother Cheng Yu forgets this friendship and treats you like a stranger? What will you do?"
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji's expression became more and more lonely, and his voice became lower and lower: "It doesn't matter if he forgets, as long as I remember it.
As long as I can see him living a happy, healthy and joyful life every day, I will be content."
After saying this, although Mu Xiaoji slowed down his pace a little, his determination to return home became more and more resolute. He walked forward step by step, as if he was getting closer to the goal in his heart.
Youyou looked at her brother Xiaoji, who had such firm beliefs but a lonely look on his face, and felt helpless and distressed.
She silently followed Mu Xiaoji into the elevator and looked at him, who looked like a walking zombie, with mechanical movements, numb expression, and deep sadness.
At this moment, the blazing sea of fire appeared in Mu Xiaoji's mind again. Jiang Chengyu stood in front of the small bamboo house with a torch in his hand, looking indifferent.
The little bamboo house was set on fire bit by bit. Even if I walked into the blazing fire without hesitation,
Jiang Chengyu didn't even frown or show any intention of stopping him. He just turned around suddenly, leaving behind a determined back.
That back view deeply hurt Mu Xiaoji's heart, but it also strengthened his determination to protect Jiang Chengyu.
Mu Xiaoji and Youyou hurried along the hospital corridor and soon arrived at the door of the two professors' offices.
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath, a polite expression appeared on his face, he raised his hand, and knocked on the door gently and rhythmically.
Soon, a familiar and gentle voice came from inside the house: "Come in." Mu Xiaoji gently turned the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open.
Professor Adris was sitting at his desk, concentrating on reading a document. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Mu Xiaoji.
A friendly smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and walked briskly towards Mu Xiaoji.
She opened her arms, gave him a warm hug, and said, "Mu? Honey, you look great today.
I happen to have a rather challenging surgery, would you consider joining me?
You know, surgery is sometimes like an art form, and it requires us to work together to create a masterpiece."
When Youyou heard Professor Idris's words, she was instantly surprised and quickly stopped him:
Oh, NO, my dear Professor Idris, Muta is still a patient and it is impossible for him to stay in the operating room for a long time." Youyou's eyes were full of worry, and her tone was urgent and firm.
Seeing Youyou's nervousness, Idris couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He patted Mu Xiaoji's back gently, then made an elegant gesture of invitation, indicating Mu Xiaoji to sit down and talk.
While smiling, he comforted Youyou: Oh, dear Miss Youyou, don't be nervous, I was just joking.
Mu's condition has recovered very well and he is much healthier than when he was studying here before.
You can't imagine that at that time, he was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, ready to fall at any moment. As an authoritative expert, I was helpless to do anything."
Mu Xiaoji smiled and agreed, "Indeed, Professor, I will always remember your care and help for me.
So I came here this time to tell you something important. My father had a heart attack and was hospitalized. The situation is urgent.
I want to go through the discharge procedures and return home to visit my father immediately." Mu Xiaoji's eyes revealed anxiety and worry, and his tone was sincere and firm.
After hearing this, Idris shook his head slightly and said seriously: "Nonono, dear Mu,
Although you look good now, your body's internal functions have not fully recovered. You still need some time to rest and should not overwork yourself too early.
As far as I know, your father is a CEO who has been active in the business world for many years. He must have many capable people around him to take care of him.
It's not necessary for you, a patient still recovering, to be around! If you return home hastily and develop any health problems, it will only burden your family."
Mu Xiaoji was about to continue explaining, trying to convince Professor Adris to understand his feelings and determination.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Karina and Andreas walked in.
When Karina entered the room, she saw everyone's faces had different expressions, but they all had sunny smiles. She couldn't help but smile curiously and said:
"Everyone here? Mu, you look great today. You seem more energetic than before. What are you discussing? You all seem so excited."
However, Mu Xiaoji was extremely anxious at the moment and had no time to respond to Karina's words.
He walked straight to Andreas, stretched out his hand and pulled him aside, and said with a serious and anxious expression:
"I want to return home, and you have to arrange for my discharge. Nothing is more important to me now than seeing my father."
Andreas looked at Mu Xiaoji and understood his anxiety at the moment, but he was also aware of his physical condition.
He knew that Mu Xiaoji was asking someone to do something for him, but he didn't even look at him. He was probably still brooding over the fact that he had taken advantage of him.
Thinking of this, Andreas felt that he was in the wrong, so he tried to persuade him kindly: "Mu, you should be clear about your situation.
Your body is still very fragile, and a long journey back home may have a serious impact on your recovery..."
However, before Andreas could finish his words, Mu Xiaoji's anxiety had reached its peak.
Without saying a word, he suddenly opened the door and left the office, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in confusion.
Seeing this, Youyou showed an apologetic expression on his face and quickly said to Professor Idris, Karina and Andreas:
"I'm sorry, Professor, Sister Karina, Brother Andreas, Kate woke up two weeks ago, and Brother Xiaoji couldn't wait to return home after hearing the news.
He's preoccupied with Kate and his father, so I hope you don't mind."
When Karina heard Youyou's words, she widened her eyes in astonishment and subconsciously covered her mouth, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
He asked again: "Youyou, what did you say? Kate woke up? Is this true?"
Youyou nodded, and looking at the incredible expressions on everyone's faces, she felt mixed emotions.
Andreas looked at Youyou sincerely apologizing to everyone on behalf of Mu Xiaoji. Although he felt a little helpless, he didn't care too much.
He knew very well how Mu Xiaoji felt at the moment, and he also understood that his previous behavior was indeed inappropriate.
Looking at Mu Xiaoji's hurriedly leaving back, Andreas thought for a moment, then turned around, quickly opened the door, and chased straight in the direction of Mu Xiaoji.
"Mu, wait a minute, can you please listen to what I have to say?" Andreas quickened his pace and shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty corridor.
He took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed Mu Xiaoji's arm, trying to get him to stop his hurried steps.
Mu Xiaoji was suddenly pulled and turned around, looking up and looking straight into Andreas' eyes.
His eyes were filled with anger and anxiety. He struggled hard and said coldly, "Let me go. Taking advantage of someone's misfortune once is enough. Are you still addicted?"
There was obvious anger in Mu Xiaoji's voice, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time had completely erupted at this moment.
Andreas was a little overwhelmed by this sudden turn and Mu Xiaoji's accusation, and his steps subconsciously paused.
He felt guilty and quickly made a soothing gesture, saying as gently as possible: "No, dear, listen to me..."
However, Mu Xiaoji was extremely anxious at the moment and did not give Andreas a chance to explain. He said aggressively again:
"I want to go home right away." Mu Xiaoji's eyes were extremely determined, and his eagerness seemed to break through all obstacles.
Andreas looked at Mu Xiaoji's determination and knew that it was useless to persuade him. He had no choice but to agree decisively:
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. You go back to the ward and wait. I'll take care of everything for you as soon as possible."
