Hello, Mr Li Chapter 56 - Bad Luck

Better news? This was the better news? Muchen Wondered as he glared at Dr Long.

How was this a better news? He just found a way to make Sara visit him so he would have some alone time with her. What was Dr Long saying now? Why does everything keep working negatively for him?

The moment he would have shown Sara what a good fighter he was, he was suddenly knocked down by a punch. He had never been so embarra.s.sed in his life. And now he is getting discharged when she had agreed to pay him a visit? What was actually happening? Did Li Minde bring bad luck with him on his way back?

"I REFUSE!" He suddenly blurted out which surprised Dr Long.

"I... I..don't understand" Dr Li stammered as the smile disappeared from his face.

"Dr Long. I think you are mistaken. I am still sick. I can feel it. Who stays in a hospital for just one day after being unconscious for hours?" Muchen asked.

Dr Long looked at him in surprise. Was this the same Li Muchen he knew?

He had been quite close with the Li family for years. When his daughter had decided that she wished to work with Li Muchen since they were both quite close as kids, they allowed her freely because they hoped it would end up with the two of them becoming an item. But after a long time of working together, Nothing happened between them. And they realised that she actually did love her job. They had two sons while she was their only daughter. They wanted their only daughter to be happy so they allowed her do whatever she wanted. They were happy to see how matured she grew to become and even went into a relations.h.i.+p thereafter. Too bad it did not end well. As for her friends.h.i.+p with Muchen, along the line, everything turned strictly professional.

He looked at Li Muchen who he had watched grow up. Who hated staying at the hospital with pa.s.sion. What's with him now? He had even thought Muchen would dance for joy that he was going to be discharged immediately. Why the sudden change?

"Mr Li. Your body just needed an excuse to rest. That was why you slept for a really long time. It was not related to your stomach condition. I told you earlier." Dr Long said.

"Elder Long, No need for formality between us. Please call me Muchen" It was weird seeing an elder, who was also his friend's father, addressing him so formally. And besides, he needed Something right now. There was no need for the formality anymore. "Can I stay here for the rest of the week?" Muchen asked.

Rest of the week? it's just Sunday! Dr Long thought.

"Why? don't you have work?" Dr Long asked.

Muchen was almost going to say Ms Long would handle it but then he remembered that this was Ms Long's father. Was he supposed to tell him..

'h.e.l.lo, I always pressure your daughter to take care of my business while I go about lazying in hospitals just so the girl I like would come visit me everyday'?

He was not so stupid. Elder Long might literally drop the formality and inject him with a lethal drug to kill him instantly.

"Elder Long. Just let me stay here for this week. I'll pay for everything. I need more rest. I'll work from here."

"Mr.. I mean... Muc..chen..." Dr Long still found it difficult addressing him so informally.

"Elder Long. please do this one thing for me. It's the first time I am begging anyone for something."

Dr Long looked at him and the IV cannula that was just lying on the bed, then he shook his head. What was up with him?

"I will give Ms Long Two days off... No! A week off"

Muchen resorted into bribing. He knew all parents did not want their children to always be busy with work and neglect every other thing.

Dr Long eyes shone. A week off for his Xiao Chou? He had been looking for a way to make her attend the blind date he had been organising for her for a long time now but she kept making excuses about having work to do everyday. This was a good one.

"Mr Li. I'm sure there are a lot of other things my Xiao Chou can help you do while you are here. Just let her off on Wednesday and weekends"

"Deal!" Muchen did not wait for him to finish before he agreed. Even if Elder Long told him to give her a month off. He would unhesitatingly agree to the offer.

He just agreed like that? Dr Long wondered. He was really curious to know why he was acting this way all of a sudden.

A wide smile appeared on Muchen's face as he lied back down on the bed and faced the ceiling.

'Oh! I love being sick' He muttered
