The Side Character's Hidden Boss! Chapter 116 - A Nanny

When she arrived at the hospital, she noticed the man who was previously in the ICU had been moved to the normal ward. The bandages around his head had been removed. The man's const.i.tution was better than she antic.i.p.ated, it was probably the result of their daily training. It helped with a quick recovery. Other than the surface wounds, the man could already move freely about.

With regards to the little boy, he had completely recovered. On the surface, there was no sign that he had been in an accident. However, Lu Xuan did say that there was a minor blood clot in the boy's head and that was something they needed to pay attention to.

When Mo Li entered the ward, the boy immediately ran towards his father. The boy was cautious around strangers. As his father picked him up into a hug, the boy crawled into his father's embrace and whispered, "Daddy, where is Uncle Quan? When are you going home? Will Uncle Quan send us home?"

The boy's voice was tender, it pulled at Mo Li's heartstrings.

"Where's Quan Yu?" Mo Li turned around to ask Ah Si.

Hearing the familiar name, the boy instantly became energized. Rou Rou1 stretched his hands towards Mo Li. "Big Sister, do you know Uncle Quan?!" Rou Rou was asking for a hug.

"Big Sister, when can I go home?"

Mo Li didn't know how to hug a child so she only held his little hand. "As long as you take your medicine and eat your food, your father will bring you home when you're ready."

Ah Si glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes. He had never heard Mo Li used such soft tone around people before...

Knowing the relations.h.i.+p between Quan Yu and Mo Li, Rou Rou's father left the child with Mo Li before he left with Ah Si.

Mo Li intended to follow them but Rou Rou instantly latched onto her. He refused to let her go. "Big Sister, Rou Rou is hungry."

Mo Li was defeated by the little boy. She had no choice but to oblige his will. She walked to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of steamed egg. It was layered with minced meat and shredded black fungus. Black fungus or Auricularia auricular, was good for blood regeneration.

"Rou Rou, eat up. We'll go look for your daddy when you're done."

Even though she was not told anything explicit, based on what she observed, Mo Li had a feeling that something had happened to Quan Yu.

After all, their target last time was most likely Quan Yu. They were careless and accidentally injured Rou Rou and his father.

Rou Rou's lips quivered like he was about to cry. Rou Rou buried his head into Mo Li's neck and said, "Rou Rou wants to go home. Rou Rou doesn't want to stay here, the people here are all angry. Rou Rou doesn't like it here!"

Mo Li sighed helplessly faced with the child's tears. "Rou Rou, you have just faced a physical trauma. You will need sufficient time to recuperate before the hospital will allow you to leave." The medical jargon flew over Rou Rou's head. The boy blinked blankly at Mo Li before he started to cry.

Mo Li was fl.u.s.tered but she tried her best to console him. She patted his back and tried to make him smile. Rou Rou eventually broke into a smile but this created another problem for Mo Li because now Rou Rou was trailing her around, hanging onto her leg. Rou Rou giggled whenever Mo Li tried to move away. This was quite amusing for the boy.

So it was this strange scene that Ah Si and Rou Rou's father saw when they walked back into the ward. Rou Rou's father warned, "Rou Rou, don't treat your big sister like that."

Actually, Rou Rou was quite depressed and sullen after the car accident. He was probably traumatized. He refused to play with the other children and he would cower whenever a stranger tried to get close to him.

Seeing Rou Rou acting more like a child around Mo Li, as a father, the man was quite happy.
