“Annie, lend me your mobile phone.”
“Okay.” Annie immediately handed over her mobile phone. “Is it to call William?”
Elisa had some anxious emotions and was amused by her. “Right.”
“Then remember to delete the record after you finish typing. Otherwise, I can’t help making harassing calls.”
Elisa dialed Bruce’s number with a smile, only to hear a busy tone several times in a row.
Elisa frowned and returned the mobile phone to Annie. “The director will look for me later. You tell him that I will go out and come back to see him again.”
“Your foot is still hurt. Where are you going? I’ll help you go.”
“No, just tell the director for me later,” Elisa said and limped out. After walking for more than ten meters, her foot injury became more severe, and the pain was much worse than before.
Elisa couldn’t help worrying when she thought that Bruce couldn’t get through to her phone and was in a strange environment.
She can only drag her injured foot all the way to the downstairs of the staff apartment.
When she got downstairs, she was sweating in the early winter season.
Many doctors just got up during their lunch break and saw Elisa’s pale face. They wondered, “Dr. Elisa, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. I’ll go back to the apartment and have a look.”
While they were talking, several doctors came down the stairs.
“I don’t know what happened on the fourth floor. I heard the screams of children.”
“I also heard it. It seems that there is still the sound of smashing things, and no one knocks at the door.”
When Elisa heard their conversation, her face suddenly changed. “Dr., I’ll go up first, and we’ll talk later.”
Elisa finished and ran upstairs without looking back, trying to ignore the injury on her foot. Across the corridor, she could hear the screaming of the tender voice.
Elisa shook her hands and opened them.
When she saw the scene in the apartment clearly, her heart hurt like a needle.
Bruce was wearing thin autumn clothes and trousers and standing on the floor full of debris with bare feet.
His foot had been cut in several places, and it was still bleeding.
Bruce heard the door open and turned his head, the pink and delicate little face was mixed with panic and grievance, which was totally unlike a five-year-old child.
Elisa stepped on the fragments and limped to Bruce.
Bruce looked at her warily and stepped back.
Elisa was afraid that his little feet would be cut again, so he hugged his little body hard and coaxed softly, “Baby, I’m sorry. My mobile phone was broken by the patient’s family, and I couldn’t get your call. Are you afraid?”
Elisa carried him to the bed and began to examine his injuries. He found that there were several wounds on his feet and on the back of his tiny hand.
She took out a small medicine box from the drawer at the bedside and quickly treated the wounds for him.
Bruce Brich saw Elisa walking and typed a line on the mini pad.
“What happened to your foot?”
Elisa knew that she was much more intelligent and more mature than children of the same age and did not intend to hide it from him.
“At noon, the family members of the patients made trouble. I was injured in the process of handling it, but there was no serious problem. You don’t have to worry.”
Bruce looked at her smiling expression and continued to type a line on the pad.
“Why not let my dad handle it?”
“Let him beat the patient’s family? This matter is not so simple, but it is not complicated. It is good to handle it properly.” Elisa laughed.
She picked up his little coat and put it on him one by one.
“I have to work later. Can I call your father to pick you up first?”
“Why?” Bruce typed the line nervously.
“Your foot is injured, and it is easy to get infected in the hospital. In addition, I didn’t protect you today, so I need to tell your father so that your father doesn’t worry.”
He lowered his head, slid his little finger on the mini-pad, and wrote, “So my father will hate you.”
“Your father and I are both adults and won’t hate me because of this.”
“Before, he hated a woman like this.” After Bruce finished writing this line, he quickly deleted it.
Elisa had already seen it. She smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about adults. Can I hold you down now?”
Bruce nodded in a stuffy way and let her hold him obediently.
**
Elisa took Bruce to her office and patted his forehead in hindsight.
Her mobile phone was broken. She just called William on Bruce’s mobile phone.
As soon as Elisa put Bruce on the clinic bed, Annie came in and said, “Sister Elisa, the director was looking for you.”
Elisa said goodbye to Bruce with two sentences and left.
Bruce took out her mini pad after she left and sent a Messenger message to William.
Bruce Brich: Dad, I seem to have accidentally dug a hole for you.
William Brich: Little rabbit, what have you done again?
Bruce Brich: Today, Elisa was bullied by the patient’s family, her foot was sprained, and her mobile phone was broken. I couldn’t get through to her, so I had a big fight in her small apartment in the hospital. Then she came running to comfort me with injuries, and I forgave her. Then I accidentally said that you used to hate a woman because she didn’t take good care of me.
William didn’t reply for a long time.
Bruce looked at the mini pad in fear and trembling and speculated in his heart what was the situation of his father at that time.
So, he quickly typed a line on the mini pad.
“If you hate her, tell her clearly. When I grow up, I will marry her!”
“Fuck off! At an early age, you just want to dig your father’s corner!”
“So what are you going to do to her? If you dare to bully her and treat her badly, I will be disgusted by you every day!”
“It sounds like you don’t dislike me now. Hurry to see your little Barbara magic fairy and leave me alone!”
Bruce Brich looked at the line and felt that his IQ had been insulted.
Quickly, he turned off the mini pad and had a cold war with William on the other end.

Elisa thought she would be sprayed with saliva by the director, plus an afternoon of ideological education. Unexpectedly, the director simply understood the situation and then let her recuperate.
When Elisa returned to the office, he found that William was also there. She glanced at Bruce Brich and thought it should be this little guy who sent a message to William.
William looked at the limping little woman and asked, “Is your foot hurt seriously?”
“Fortunately, walking is no problem. You should send Bruce back first. Children’s resistance is relatively poor, and staying in the hospital for a long time was risky.”
“I’ll pick you up at night, so don’t drive.”
“Okay.”
William didn’t repeat anything and left with Bruce in his arms.
Little Annie was full of stars and looked in the direction of William and Bruce leaving. “Elisa, I am so jealous of you!”
