Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 581: One Person’s Journey! 45

A slightly older female doctor joined in, also somewhat excited, but then, as if remembering something, she frowned.

"But...I heard from the nurses that his parents aren't the ones taking care of him here?"

The other doctors all looked at Yin Ruiqi.

Yin Ruiqi nodded

"Aunt Li and Uncle Zhou are that child's maternal aunt and uncle. His parents both work in other cities and are quite busy, so they haven't been able to come back. Also, the child's health isn't very good, so he's taking a break from school this semester and is recuperating here with them. Aunt Li and Uncle Zhou have been taking care of him during this time!"

"Oh! No wonder!"

Another male doctor rested his chin on his hand and shook his head.

"I don't think I saw everything! My girlfriend told me that when she did the electrocardiogram on the child that day, she found many bruises on his body, and..."

The male doctor cautiously approached, drawing everyone's attention.

“My girlfriend noticed that he had scars on his wrists and neck. Although they were very faint, it was still obvious that he had done them himself.”

Hearing his colleague's words, Yin Ruiqi's eyes darkened slightly. He pointed at the table in front of him, somewhat surprised as he thought about what he had found.

"Yes! I don't know what happened to him! I looked at his file, he should be almost twenty years old, but he's too weak, he looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, thin and frail..."

After some examinations, looking at the results, Yin Ruiqi and his teacher were immediately considering calling the police, since the child had too many injuries. However, seeing that Li Na and her husband treated Ye Youxuan genuinely, even better than other parents treat their own children, and that they paid for everything needed and all the necessary tests without hesitation, they decided to be more considerate.

Yin Ruiqi had also seen Li Na secretly crying in the stairwell, and Chen Jia had also subtly inquired about it. The couple seemed unaware of Ye Youxuan's other injuries. It was unclear whether their acting was too good or they genuinely didn't know...

The master and disciple thought about it and ultimately decided to wait until Ye Youxuan woke up before making any decisions...

......

The next morning, the usual five or six doctors who made rounds increased to more than a dozen, all of whom rushed into the room, surprising the patient and their family for quite a while.

"Uncle, you're all better now, you can be discharged tomorrow..."

After explaining the precautions to the family members, Yin Ruiqi walked to Ye Youxuan's bedside. Ye Youxuan was in a double room, and he was closer to the window. He had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, with Li Na supporting him with a blanket behind him.

Zhou Xiaowen went out to buy him breakfast, but he didn't want to eat the steamed buns and porridge that had been bought, so Zhou Xiaowen went to buy him something else he wanted to eat. Li Na stood aside and carefully wiped his hands, while Ye Youxuan stared blankly out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Little friend, how are you feeling today?"

Hearing the gentle question, Ye Youxuan slowly turned her head.

The moment she slowly raised her eyes, the doctors were all stunned.

This child is so beautiful, with a pair of bright, expressive eyes that seem to speak volumes.

Ye Youxuan glanced at Yin Ruiqi's name tag and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Dr. Yin. I feel much better than before..."

Yin Ruiqi looked at today's temperature record and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good, but we still need to do some more tests. Your fever this time has caused quite a few complications, so it's best to be careful... Aunt Li, I might need you to pay the fees for the tests later, and also pick up some other things you need on the fifth floor of the outpatient department..."

Li Na listened carefully, nodding hurriedly when she heard about the additional tests that needed to be done. However, her husband hadn't returned yet, and she felt somewhat helpless.

Ye Youxuan whispered to Li Na

"Aunt Na, go ahead! It's alright, the doctors are all here. If anything happens, I can ask these nurses for help. Besides, Uncle Zhou will be back soon."

Li Na thought that getting the checkup done sooner would help her calm down and eat something earlier. Also, Dr. Yin Ruiqi and the others said they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, which reassured her, so she quickly made the arrangements.

Seeing Li Na leave, Yin Ruiqi used the excuse of checking her body to ask Ye Youxuan...

"Little friend, do your family members know about the other injuries you have?"

Ye Youxuan knew from the moment the doctor gave Li Na an excuse to leave that he was going to ask her something, but he hadn't expected this question. He smiled to himself, then shook his head.

"No, they don't know. They don't know about any of the other injuries on his body, only the ones they can see!"

"leg......"

"I don't know! I was injured in a car accident a few years ago, but they don't know..."

"Those...eyes..."

Yin Ruiqi looked into Ye Youxuan's eyes, and Ye Youxuan gently touched her left eye, the smile that had just appeared on her lips slowly fading away.

"No, they don't know about my eyes either... I was injured in a fight a few years ago, and I often wear colored contact lenses, so... they can't tell anything... You should also know that they are not my biological parents, but relatives who have been taking care of me recently, so... there is no need for them to know these things."

Yin Ruiqi frowned in confusion at Ye Youxuan's words.

"Little friend, these injuries on your body..."

"Hehehe, it looks like abuse! But it's not. It's just that I was young and didn't know any better, and I was just messing around with my classmates. My family knows about it, so it's okay..."

Ye Youxuan certainly knew what these doctors were worried about...

Upon hearing Ye Youxuan's answer, Yin Ruiqi stopped asking questions, but he still kept these things in mind. After all, there were too many injuries on his body. If they weren't caused by abuse from his family, then he must have been bullied at school. He clearly didn't want to bring up this topic now, and he would ask him more carefully when he felt better.

"Okay...but wearing those things in your eyes for too long isn't good for your health, so try to take them off when you're resting."

Ye Youxuan nodded

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Dr. Yin."

Just then, Zhou Xiaowen, who had gone out to buy breakfast, returned. Yin Ruiqi and the others didn't need to stay there any longer, so they said goodbye to them and left the ward.
