Chapter 71: 71
On the second day of school, Zhang Lisheng saw George came to him on his bicycle right after he parked his car by the street . After greeting each other, George began taunting on Zhang Lisheng hard and announced cruelly that his attempt to get him a prom date was completely blown now .
"It was such a coincidence that I met the two babes Lina and Hannah . And what happened? You stood them up when you were supposed to date them . Of course, I personally think a lobster dinner at Hilton's great to show your sincere apology but to the ladies, you're too…"
"Alright George, I'm not interested to go to that prom at all anyway . If I must go, I can get myself a prom date . "
"Get yourself a prom date! Oh, Lisheng seems like you're still clueless…"
"It's you who are clueless . I heard from Randy last night that we can bring any girls not from our school to the prom . I've made $19,000 last weekend, how is it possible that I can't even hire a lady," Zhang Lisheng said to George while looking at him on the way to the open-style school compound .
George was taken aback, he was stunned for a long time before he cursed madly, "Sh*t, what an ugly country where money is everything . Zhang Lisheng, look at your naked capitalist face, don't you think exchanging money for a lady's company is something pathetic and shameful?"
"Maybe, but wasting time's even more pathetic and shameful," Zhang Lisheng left the depressed George and walked into the school building . It was four in the afternoon, and he was already done with three classes and year-end papers . After school, he went to Queens Hospital with his family with Christmas decorations to decorate the ward . It was the critical period for Michelle's recovery whereby she should not move at all . Therefore, the family decided to spend Christmas Eve in the hospital ward with her .
When they arrived at Queens Hospital, the kids carried the bags of Christmas decorations across the crowded hospital while apologizing and smiling following Lili and Sullo's lead . Zhang Lisheng carried the bag of fairy lights at the end of the line . He saw a familiar silhouette from far away when he was arriving at Michelle's ward . Both of them was slightly stunned when they met each other's eyes .
"Hi Tina," Zhang Lisheng was the first to snap back to his senses . He mouthed to her from far away and walked into the ward with his family . The single ward in a public hospital was small . There was only a simple bed, a bed cabinet for the patient, a foldable extra bed and two wooden chairs .
Michelle laid on the bed with her limbs hanging tight with wires on four sides of the bed . The reason for doing that was to prevent the patient from moving and interfere with the healing of the broken bones which might bring even greater pain to the patient . Her collar bones were bulging because she had been losing weight ever since she got admitted to the hospital .
There were three pretty girls around Michelle's bed when the family walked into the ward . Lili greeted them as soon as she saw them, "Fenna, Ashley, Tang, you guys are visiting Michelle again . You guys are the best . "
"We're Michelle's best friends, Aunt Lili . Of course, we're always here for her," Ashley, the tallest and thinnest one with shoulder-length hair and beautiful features said . The girls gave Lili a hug . The ward was a little crowded as it was the first time it occupied ten people at once . Lili nodded and folded the extra bed close to the wall . She stacked the chairs on top," The doctor said that Michelle's wounds are beginning to heal . She'll be able to move very soon, maybe you guys could go shopping again not long later . "
"That's great," The three girls began cheering at the same time . Compared to her friends who were pretending to be excited, Michelle who was lying on the bed said expressionlessly, "Stop consoling me, Aunt Lili . I know that I might be bedridden for the rest of my life . "
The air in the ward became iced cold because of what Michelle said . Even Randy who was joking around with Fenna since he came in had his expression froze .
"You won't, baby," Lili got to Michelle and said while stroking her face feeling the pain .
"Even if I could get off the bed, I'll be limping when I walk . I might as well just lay on the bed for the rest of my life," Michelle said as her eyes turned red . Family and friends in the ward began consoling the broken girl, even Zhang Lisheng who hardly initiate the conversation whenever he visited spoke as well, "Don't worry Michelle, I'll make you some medicine when your wounds are healed and your bones are beginning to grow . I guarantee you won't be handicapped . "
Michelle glanced through Zhang Lisheng's face with a complicated expression and nodded slightly hearing what he said . She seemed to be extra sensitive to what he said . Ever since Zhang Lisheng saved her from Dr . Fracture that night, she always had some odd expression whenever she faced this young man .
Everyone was secretly relieved seeing that Michelle was slightly relaxed now . At that moment, a light knock came from the ward all of a sudden . Subsequently, a lady wearing a red dress and high boots walked in . Apart from Zhang Lisheng, every kid in the ward exclaimed almost in unison when they looked at the lady, "Tina Douglin…"
