“Then let’s get up quickly. My mother must have prepared a lot of delicious food, and it will not taste good when it is cold.” Elisa said, sat up with Bruce in her arms, and jumped into the bathroom.
Because of her sudden movements, Bruce hugged her neck with a pair of short arms.
Elisa put Bruce Brich’s special toiletries on the bath rack the other night. She took off the small cup, toothbrush, and children’s toothpaste and put them in Bruce’s hand.
Then, she turned to get her own toiletries.
Judging from Bruce Brich’s usual behavior, he was a little guy who was more mature than children of the same age.
The most significant characteristic of that kind of little guy was that he did not like adults to treat him as a child.
Elisa didn’t intend to brush his teeth and helped him do everything.
Sure enough, Bruce squeezed toothpaste and brushed his teeth consciously after taking the small cup. After washing, Elisa took Bruce Brich back to bed and asked, “Can you dress yourself?”
Bruce Brich nodded.
Elisa kissed his little face and then went through his two small suitcases.
Bruce Brich’s face was red and a little uncomfortable.
Elisa turned over for a while, saw a Winnie the Pooh sweater, and took it out. “Today’s weather is fine. How about wearing this?”
Bruce Brich looked at the silly, and naive children’s sweater nodding reluctantly, and then tried to put it on himself.
When they went downstairs, Emily was busy in the kitchen, and Emman watered flowers on the balcony.
“Mom and Dad, good morning.”
“Are they all up?” Emily smiled and put breakfast on the table.
Bruce faced Emily’s parents and wrote on a pad, “Good morning, grandparents.”
Emily looked at those words and looked at Bruce’s lovely little face. When she remembered his life experience, she couldn’t help her eyes become red. “Little baby is early, so sit down and have breakfast in a short while. Emman, our little grandson, greeted you. Let’s eat already, don’t let my little grandson wait for a long time.”
“Coming,” Emman said and went to the table and looked at Bruce with joy. “How’s your sleep?”
Bruce wrote on the pad. “I slept well.”
“That’s good. You are welcome at any time,”
“Thank you, grandpa.”
After the four people had a harmonious breakfast together, Elisa went out to work.
Bruce saw that she had to go to work and wanted to follow her to the hospital.
Elisa saw that he insisted and didn’t refuse. However, she was afraid that his immunity was low and he was easily infected with germs in the hospital, so she sent a Messenger message to William asking about the situation.
“William, Bruce Brich wants to go to work with me. What do you think?”
William replied after a long time. “Let him follow.”
Elisa looked at the irresponsible words, silently turned a disdainful look in her heart, and started the car to drive to the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Annie looked at Bruce Brich with bright eyes.
Elisa put Bruce Brich in his position. “Annie, look at Bruce more today.”
“Yes Elisa, you can give me this task with confidence.”
Elisa looked helplessly at her assistants and whispered, “His situation is a bit special. Don’t touch him, okay?”
Annie looked at Elisa with some incomprehension, and waited for a while, then nodded.
Elisa seemed to not want to work that day.
In the morning, Elisa still saw patients as usual. Bruce didn’t disturb her work too much. Most of the time, she sat quietly on the small clinic bed next to her and watched his mini pad.
He occasionally asked for water or to go to the toilet.
At noon, after lunch, Elisa took Bruce to the dormitory of the hospital. According to her qualifications, she could not be assigned to a separate small apartment. Still, Westmead Hospital has fewer doctors, so the welfare of doctors was better than that of other equivalent hospitals.
Elisa took Bruce’s soft little hand into her small apartment and said, “I have to go to work in the afternoon. I want to take a lunch break here, OK?”
Bruce looked around at the simple furniture in the small apartment and nodded. Then, with a sleepy yawn, he took off his shoes and went to bed.
Elisa touched the quilt and found that it was a little cold, so she turned on the electric blanket.
She didn’t turn off the electric blanket and went to bed until the whole quilt was warm.

In a daze, Elisa was woken up by the ringing of her cellphone.
She quickly got up and answered, “Hello.”
“Elisa, the family members of the patients in the emergency department, made trouble yesterday.” Annie’s voice also brought tears, which was obviously no small matter.
“Don’t worry, speak slowly,” Elisa said as she put on her clothes with one hand.
“They said that our treatment was wrong, maliciously delaying the patient’s treatment, causing irreparable trauma. Now that the director is not in the hospital, things will be pushed to us.”
“Don’t panic. I’ll be right there.” After Elisa hung up the phone, he looked at Bruce’s sleeping little face, took his mini pad, entered a line of words on it, such as “when you wake up, call me.” and then she turned the screen of the pad into auto mode before leaving quickly.

Elisa ran to the inpatient building and found that the elevators were occupied, so she went directly to the safe passage and ran.
Before she reached the floor where her office was located, she heard a noise.
Just by listening to the sound. One would know how chaotic the scene was.
“What have you quacks done to my son? Can you only see money in your eyes? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? How can you let a 15-year-old child live like this in the future? How can we live in this family?” A heartbreaking female voice came from the corridor.
Along with this sound came the sound of pushing.
Elisa took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the safe passage, and said coldly, “What are you doing? If you have something to say, don’t affect other patients’ rest!”
Annie heard the voice of Elisa and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The appearance of Elisa made the noisy corridor quiet for a moment. The middle-aged woman paused, turned, and threw herself at Elisa.
“That’s you, you doctor without medical ethics. I’m not finished with you!”
Elisa looked indifferently at the woman, who rushed closer and closer.
In the screaming of everyone, she held the woman’s hand firmly to seize her clothes.
The woman’s hands were held by Elisa, and she could not move. Her face was twisted, and she looked at Elisa with hatred and suddenly spat at her.
Elisa White turned her head and said coldly, “If you think our hospital has not cured your son, please speak with facts and don’t do such useless actions. Our medical staff has no reason to let you spray.”
