Doctor Li printed out the paperwork for the procedure soon. If I could provide the copy of my ID card today, my brother could be transferred to another hospital early tomorrow morning.
Unfortunately, I had to go back to the Zhao’s house to get it.
In spite of Doctor Li’s dissuasion, I rushed out and hailed a taxi, heading for their house.
The gate remained closed, but I had no time to be sentimental or to overthink. I asked the driver to wait for me outside and then sneaked into the house from a side door specially for the staff.
In addition to my ID card, I decided to bring some other important certificates and cards with me as well. I was already very cautious to avoid making noises, but before I was about to leave, Wang Yanfen suddenly appeared.
“Wait! How can you come and go at will? Tell me what you have sneaked from our house!” she questioned in a piercing voice.
With that, she rushed to me, staring at me warily with a fierce look.
As I was eager to return to the hospital to go through the transfer formalities of my brother, I didn’t want to waste my time on wrestling her. However, she refused to let go of me, so I pushed her hand away impatiently.
“I didn’t steal anything from you! I just came back for my stuff!” I roared while waving the certificates in front of her eyes.
As the hospital transferring document was also in my hand, Wang Yanfen saw it clearly. Without thinking further, I ran out before she could complain more.
I came back to the hospital soon and went through all the transfer formalities quickly. After daybreak, I would be able to leave with my brother.
Early the next morning, as the car which would take us to another hospital was going to leave in ten minutes, I rushed out and bought a bowl of warm porridge for my brother at a breakfast vendor.
As I was in a hurry, I bumped against someone. I said sorry to him and immediately ran away.
To my surprise, that person caught up with me.
It was a man in his middle age. He sized me up for a while and the anger on his face suddenly turned into a smile.
There was an ambiguous look in his eyes.
“Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to.” The bare lust in his eyes disgusted me. I apologized again patiently and was about to leave.
However, what he did next utterly startled me. Without saying anything, he suddenly pulled me into his arms and tried to kiss me.
I struggled with all my might, trying to attract other people’s attention. However, everyone picked up the space after casting a glance at us.
After a few attempts, I failed to break free, so I bent my knee and kicked his crotch hard in a panic.
He immediately collapsed and rolled about on the ground, wailing in anguish. Only then did his companions rush out from the crowd and help him up.
Without looking back, I ran away as fast as possible and got in the medical car waiting for me.
I had no idea that after I left, the middle-aged man who wanted to molest me kept cursing for a long time, threatening that he would definitely have his men find me.
I didn’t know either that after my mother-in-law heard what he said, she offered to tell him my whereabouts. She learned which hospital I was heading for as she had seen the hospital transferring document.
This caused the medical car was forcibly stopped on the way by those people with knives and guns in their hands. After knocking the driver and two accompanying doctors unconscious, they rested a knife on my neck.
At this moment, the patrolmen nearby were alarmed and began driving towards us.
The bandits spat at me with a fierce glare, unwilling to give up. As they knew that I might scream and struggle, to save time, they took my feeble brother away.
Instantly, they disappeared around the corner.
