Chapter 2448: The Kid Needs a Sense of Security

Other classmates knew full well whose credit Zhang Desheng’s success belonged to, so aside from glancing at Student Xie, each one was planning that next time they’d bring Student Xie along to help.

Outside the treatment room, Zhang Li and his wife Lau Jinyin whispered to each other from time to time.

"If they hurt Taotao, as soon as he screams, I’ll rush in," vowed Lau Jinyin, as the child’s mother, not believing the doctors could handle her son at all, "They must have tied Taotao up like a dumpling."

Imagining her son’s small body being "bullied" by the medical staff, Lau Jinyin’s eyes reddened, about to tear up.

Zhang Li not only didn’t stop his wife’s words but encouraged her: "You go in first, I’ll call for people."

"Who are you calling?" Lau Jinyin asked her husband.

When they came to this hospital for treatment, Zhang Li had already seen someone nearby wandering around with a camera on their back, likely a reporter from some newspaper or magazine.

Actually, these reporters were following up on the news from two days ago about the Hao Family. The little grandson of the Hao Family was hospitalized at Shou’er and had not been discharged.

"Did you call the reporters?" Lau Jinyin asked her husband again.

It wasn’t him who called, but that’s okay, reporters love news. He just needs to go over and tell the reporters there’s big news, and they’ll surely follow him to take pictures.

(Reporter: You might be overthinking it.)

The treatment room door opened, and the nurse called out to the family: "It’s done. It’s okay now; you can come in and see the child."

Okay? Is it really okay? During the procedure, she didn’t hear her son cry for mom, which was odd. Parents knew it was a bone puncture, knew bone punctures were excruciatingly painful. Why didn’t her son react? Lau Jinyin, already skeptical of medical personnel, hurried into the treatment room anxiously calling out, "Taotao, Taotao, mom is here. How are you?"

Approaching the hospital bed, she saw: her son had nestled into the doctor’s arms.

"Taotao." Lau Jinyin reached out to her son, "Come, mom will hold you. Don’t be scared anymore. Mom loves you, mom swears next time she won’t let them touch you, absolutely won’t let you hurt anymore." While speaking, Lau Jinyin was moved by her own words, teared up. The time separated from her son felt like a flesh-and-bone break, each moment thinking of her son being tormented by needles, her heart wrenched.

She first embraced her precious son and checked how the needle wounds were.

Taotao was tugged by his mother’s hand and his little head was forced to turn around, his blurry small eyes glimpsing at his mother momentarily before turning back fiercely.

"Taotao?" Lau Jinyin was startled, what’s with her son’s reaction? Could it be he was so jabbed he couldn’t even recognize his mother? She urgently said, "Mom is here, it’s mom, not anyone else, it’s mom!"

What good is mom? Mom can’t protect him, mom just makes him cry and hurt and feel miserable. Taotao doesn’t want mom; he wants someone who can protect him, someone who makes him feel more comfortable. Right now this little child is sulking with his parents.

In this way, despite seeming like a very willful child, this small dinosaur-like kid is actually quite clever. It also confirmed what Immortal Brother first said about pediatrics: not all children just want mom and dad. Some mom and dads are unreliable, and a smart kid seeks a safer haven.

"Taotao, mom will hold you!" Her son didn’t want to be in her arms, Lau Jinyin panicked, jumping at the medical staff, "What have you done to my son?"
