Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Sneaking Back to the Hospital

Seeing that he wasn’t going to get any useful information from Li Muwan, Officer Zhao could only sigh and say, "Miss Li, let’s stop here for today. Please come to the station tomorrow, and we can go over the specifics then."

Tears welled in Li Muwan’s eyes as she nodded.

Once the two officers had left, Jiang Fan turned to the distraught Li Muwan.

"Wan’Er, come on. Let’s go check on your father and mother, then get something to eat."

Li Muwan slowly got to her feet and followed behind Jiang Fan.

After speaking with a doctor, Jiang Fan and Li Muwan were allowed to take a quick look at Li Jiaxiang and Zhou Jing from outside the door, but they couldn’t go in or make any noise.

When Jiang Fan and Li Muwan arrived at the intensive care unit, a strong, pungent smell made Jiang Fan furrow his brow.

They first came to the door of Zhou Jing’s room. Mrs. Li was lying quietly on the hospital bed, an oxygen tube fitted to her face. Though she hadn’t woken up, she appeared stable. Aside from a few scrapes on her face, she had no other visible major injuries.

But in truth, Jiang Fan could see more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes on Mrs. Li’s body.

Fortunately, none of her injuries were fatal. However, the significant blood loss from some wounds still made her condition serious.

Seeing her mother lying on the hospital bed, a fresh stream of tears rolled down Li Muwan’s cheeks.

’There’s nothing I can say to comfort her right now,’ Jiang Fan sighed to himself.

When they walked to the other ICU room and saw Li Jiaxiang, Li Muwan finally broke down.

After just one glance, she covered her mouth and fled to the end of the hallway.

Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly and let out another long sigh.

Li Jiaxiang’s condition was far more severe than Zhou Jing’s. His body was covered in tubes connected to various machines. There were visible bloodstains on his head and body, and his face was deathly pale. He looked like he was barely hanging on by a thread, with a young nurse watching over him at his bedside.

Jiang Fan hurried after Li Muwan. At the end of the hallway, she could no longer hold back and was crying her eyes out.

"Jiang Fan, tell me... this is all because of me, isn’t it? If it weren’t for me, my parents wouldn’t be like this."

Jiang Fan gently supported Li Muwan.

"Wan’Er, don’t worry. Your father and mother will definitely get better. I promise!"

But even after hearing Jiang Fan’s words, Li Muwan only cried harder.

Jiang Fan’s heart was heavy. He could only help Li Muwan leave the ICU area, lest the scene bring back more painful memories.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Fan had originally planned to take Li Muwan to eat something nearby.

But Li Muwan was too dejected and had no appetite at all.

"How about this? I’ll take you home first, and I’ll stay here to watch over your parents. I just contacted the doctor on duty, and they’ll notify me immediately if there are any changes in their condition."

"No, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying right here with them until they wake up."

"Wan’Er, your health right now..."

"I know my own body. If you make me go back now, I’ll only feel worse!"

Hearing her words, Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, how about this? We can’t get into the ICU anyway. There’s a hotel across the street. We can get a room there to rest. That way, if anything happens with your parents, we can rush over immediately."

Only then did Li Muwan nod in agreement.

Li Muwan was extremely weak, and Jiang Fan had to support her the entire way. With some difficulty, they finally made it to the hotel across the street and got a room.

Although Jiang Fan tried to get an expensive room, the accommodations were average at best. At least it was relatively clean and very close to the hospital, just across the road.

While helping Li Muwan, Jiang Fan simultaneously infused a stream of True Qi from his Dragon Elephant Profound Skill into her body.

By the time they entered the room, Li Muwan already seemed to be in much better shape.

"Wan’Er, you rest for a bit. I’m going to go out and buy you something to eat!"

Jiang Fan said after helping her lie down on the bed.

"Jiang Fan!" But Li Muwan suddenly grabbed his hand. "Can you please not go?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, but it was clear she was doing her best to hold them back.

"You haven’t eaten all day. If you collapse, what will your parents do? Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon!"

"Then I’ll go with you!"

"In your condition, you can barely walk. You should just rest and wait for me to come back."

"Okay... alright!"

With that, Jiang Fan left.

Li Muwan watched his retreating figure, her expression complicated as she bit her lip.

After leaving the hotel, however, Jiang Fan headed straight back toward the hospital.

What he had to do now was find a way into Li Jiaxiang’s ICU room.

Because when he had seen Li Jiaxiang from outside the ICU earlier, Jiang Fan had realized that he very likely wouldn’t make it through the night.

Li Jiaxiang’s condition was even worse than it had been in the afternoon, which was something Jiang Fan hadn’t expected.

If he didn’t intervene, he feared Li Jiaxiang only had a few hours left.

With Li Muwan there earlier, Jiang Fan hadn’t dared to let his concern show.

So now, he was using the excuse of buying dinner for Li Muwan to return to the hospital.

While outside the ICU, Jiang Fan had already carefully observed the layout. The unit was on the top floor. Aside from an elevator for medical staff, there was only a stairwell on the right. The hallway to the ICU passed by a nurses’ station, where at least three nurses were always on duty.

On top of that, there was also a young nurse inside Li Jiaxiang’s room on 24-hour duty.

But by now, Jiang Fan already had a plan.

Relying on the advantage his eyes gave him, Jiang Fan first went to the hospital’s fifth floor.

The other floors of the city hospital were all inpatient wards; only the fifth floor had the most offices.

Jiang Fan tried the handles of several office doors. After a few attempts, he happened to find one unlocked.

Immediately, Jiang Fan quickly snatched a white coat from a clothes rack.

Then, he found a white mask and a cap. Before leaving, he also swiped a pair of square-framed glasses from a desk.

With this getup, he could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, when he walked through the ICU hallway past the nurses’ station again, the few young nurses on duty glanced at him but didn’t ask any questions.

He expertly pushed open the door to Li Jiaxiang’s room. Inside, the young nurse was at the bedside, performing a routine check on Li Jiaxiang.

"Dr. Zhang sent me to check on the patient’s condition!" Jiang Fan said bluntly as he walked in.
