Chapter 1337 I Want a Divorce!
He Xu thought for a moment and said, "You can ask her when you have time. It would be best if her family and friends could come as soon as possible. If they can't come in a short time, we'll have to find a caregiver to take care of her."
Su Xing has to attend classes, manage the studio, meet drawing deadlines, and find time to repair the antiques she owns.
She's already very busy; she doesn't have time to take care of Ms. Luo all the time.
Moreover, they had no relation to Ms. Luo, nor could they be considered friends; they were merely strangers who had met her a few times.
They can disregard past disagreements and help with things that don't interfere with their own lives, but they definitely won't do things that affect their studies or daily life.
Su Xing nodded, "I know. Given her current condition, her family definitely needs to know. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, there won't even be anyone to sign off on her case."
She said that, but in her heart she felt that Luo Xiaocao might not have any family members who could help her make decisions.
If Luo Xiaocao's family were truly reliable, would they have watched her marry a man about twenty years older than her and suffer long-term domestic violence?
As for friends...
Luo Xiaocao is not a native of Beijing, and it is unknown how long she has been in Beijing or whether she has made any friends here.
However, given Luo Xiaocao's personality, can she really make close friends? Besides, she doesn't have a job and no stable social circle...
Even if she has friends back home, would they be willing to come to Beijing to take care of her?
In the end, I guess I'll really have to hire a caregiver.
That's a minor matter. The real issue is her case with that abusive man. Will she be able to think things through clearly and handle it properly?
He Xu asked, "By the way, is her rib dislocated? Does she need surgery?"
Su Xing said, "The doctor said that there was no serious dislocation or serious internal organ damage, so surgery was not necessary. Conservative treatment was the main approach. The medical staff have already used a chest strap to stabilize her chest. The fracture ends can gradually heal on their own and will not affect the support of the chest and breathing function."
He Xu nodded. "That's good."
Su Xing glanced at the time. "You should go back first. Luo Xiaocao needs someone to take care of her. I'll stay here tonight to look after her. Whether we need to notify her family or find Engineer Gu, we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
He Xu pondered for two seconds, then said with a slightly helpless tone, "Okay, then I'll ask Xiao Qi's owner if he's asleep. If he's not asleep yet, I'll go pick him up and take him home. And while I'm at it... let's pick up that Doberman too."
That Doberman is quite afraid of getting lost now; if I don't lose it when I get home, I can keep it under control.
If the stumbling block doesn't accept it, put it in the second bedroom first.
Su Xing said, "Okay, let's take Bu Diu and the donkey back. If they stay at Xiao Qi's house, Xiao Qi might get bullied by it."
He Xu then instructed his girlfriend, "After Ms. Luo finishes her IV drip, you should get some sleep too."
Su Xing said, "I know, I will rest."
He Xu hugged his girlfriend, said goodbye, and then left.
He knew what kind of person his girlfriend was; she certainly wouldn't stand idly by while Ms. Luo was in this situation.
He couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her be.
After seeing He Xu into the elevator, Su Xing returned to the ward.
She opened the door very quietly, and then quietly closed it again after entering the room.
Turning around, she saw Luo Xiaocao on the hospital bed, struggling to turn her head and look at her.
Su Xing walked to Luo Xiaocao's bedside, looked up at the IV drip bottle, and saw that there were still three or four centimeters of medicine inside.
She whispered, "There's still medicine left. I'll call the nurse to change it later."
Luo Xiaocao nodded slightly.
She continued to stare at Su Xing, her eyes welling up with tears again.
Seeing her like this, Su Xing couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt again?"
Luo Xiaocao shook her head and mouthed, "It doesn't hurt..."
Just now... she thought Miss Su had already left the hospital...
She was too nervous and upset to notice that Su Xing's coat was still draped over the back of the chair.
When Su Xing heard Luo Xiaocao say that it didn't hurt, he thought she was crying because she was sad.
She sighed inwardly, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, my boyfriend said he'll take your Doberman to our house to raise for now, so you don't have to worry about it."
Luo Xiaocao nodded slightly again and said in a soft voice, "Thank you..."
Su Xing had originally planned to ask Luo Xiaocao's relatives and friends tomorrow, but seeing that she was awake and showed no signs of sleeping, he asked, "Can you contact your family? Or close friends? In your condition, you need someone to take care of you."
Luo Xiaocao remained silent for a moment, then gently shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks and onto the pillow.
She managed to utter a very small, hoarse voice, "They...won't...care about me..."
Her hometown is far away, and it's impossible for her parents to come to Beijing to take care of her.
Moreover, if they knew that she was beaten like this by her husband, they would think that she hadn't taken good care of her husband, that she didn't listen to him, and that she was beaten because she hadn't given birth to a son after being married for so long.
They would say: It's all her fault, she deserved to be beaten.
They would also say: Which woman hasn't been beaten after marriage?
After all, her mother was beaten by her father her whole life...
As for the injury... it'll heal in a few days, right? Why be so dramatic?
They would tell her to go back and live a good life with her man, not to make a fuss or resist, saying that everything would be fine after she had a child.
But she didn't want to live like that anymore. She was afraid that if she continued to live with that man, one day she would really die at his hands!
She was also afraid that if she really had a child, her child would repeat her life...
Su Xing wasn't surprised by the woman's words.
She then asked, "Do you have any close friends or best confidantes who can take care of you and give you advice?"
The woman thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head again.
When she was in school, she had two friends she got along with quite well.
Later, a friend of hers dropped out of school early to work, got married at twenty, had children, and spent her days taking care of her husband and children, so they lost touch.
Another friend... went to university and had a different life from them. We don't have much to talk about anymore, and our relationship has long faded.
Can her childhood friends back home really be considered friends? They're just people she meets up with during Chinese New Year, hangs out with friends, and brag a bit. Who would travel all the way to Beijing to take care of her? They might even laugh at her behind her back after they find out how badly her husband beat her.
As for Beijing... she had even fewer friends. Come to think of it, the girl in front of her, whose surname she only knew was Su, and whose given name she didn't even know, was one of the few people who was willing to talk to her more...
Su Xing frowned slightly; this situation was pretty much as she had expected.
Luo Xiaocao suddenly said, "I...want a divorce!"
Her voice was soft, hoarse, and unpleasant, but she spoke those words with great determination!
