Chapter 1014: Chapter 998 What were you doing before?
Moreover, a hospital is always a hospital, not conducive to recovery.
These days, the two children did nothing but get injections.
They hadn’t even stepped out the door of the ward.
At an age when they should be playful; usually bustling around the house, Tang Zhinian simply took his two grandsons out to bask in the sun, immediately delighting them beyond measure.
So he still felt it was better to take care of the children at home.
This place felt damp and gloomy, and there was no telling if the people around were eyeing his grandsons with jealousy.
He did not want his grandsons to be subjected to any further strain.
But now he only focused on his grandsons, neglecting his own daughter.
He had forgotten that Tang Yuxin was still here.
Looking at the empty ward, Tang Yuxin felt somewhat unaccustomed.
She picked up a teddy bear from the table—a gift from a colleague at the hospital for Xiaobai.
They had left in such a hurry that many toys hadn’t been taken with them.

She first packed them up, planning to let Gu Ning take them back when he had time.
Recently, with the children being ill, she could see them every day, could touch their chubby little cheeks, could hear their childlike voices.
No matter how tired or hard it was, seeing them made everything alright.
She put the toys back on the table but then suddenly thought of something, picked them up again, and shook them in front of herself.
Xiaobai hadn’t actually played with these toys.
Considering their age, they were mostly plush toys.
Especially Gu Qing, the uncle, because his own daughter Qiqi liked dolls, almost bought a truckload every time he shopped for her, never skimping.
So much so that Qiqi couldn’t even get through all her toys, which were piled up in several rooms—no exaggeration.
Lin Yile had told her this and also complained now and then that spoiling children this way wasn’t good at all.
Lin Yile even showed her the rooms filled with toys.
Thankfully, the Gu Family’s house was large enough; otherwise, there wouldn’t be room for so many toys.
But Gu Qing insisted on buying so much for his daughter, saying it didn’t matter if it took up several rooms.
After all, he didn’t own just one property.
Qiqi also had plenty at her maternal grandparents’ place, enough to fill another room.

If there was no more room, he would just buy more properties—there had to be a place for Qiqi’s toys.
His daughter simply wanted to play with toys; it didn’t matter if she played with one and discarded two.
But his children did much more than play with one and discard two.
When Xiaobai and Xiaobai fell ill, Gu Qing the uncle feared the children would be bored.
As a good uncle, he naturally wanted to treat his nephews well, and so he began buying toys in heaps again.
Perhaps he was just used to buying for his daughter, thinking Xiaobai would also like them, and besides, these toys were much safer, soft and fuzzy, liked by adults and children alike.
Xiaobai and Xiaobai only took one each, tossing them back and forth, and now they had taken them home to continue throwing around.
The remaining dozens, all brand new, still had their tags on.
She hugged the toy in her arms, then looked into the toy’s eyes, which were adorably silly.
Not long after, the children being treated in the hospital had a plush toy placed at the head of each bed, courtesy of the hospital.
The children were very fond of them, and the adults were touched by the hospital’s thoughtfulness.
Yet amongst them, there were still many who took it with a grain of salt, thinking it was just another heartless hospital.
Who knew if this was not a precursor to massive medical fees later on?
About three days after Xiaobai and Xiaobai were discharged, a few more children recovered and followed in their footsteps as the second batch of young patients to be discharged.
Because the disease was discovered early, and the emergence of a cure wasn’t too late, they had hardly any scars left on their bodies.
And for children who generally recover well, these marks could also disappear as they grew.
When the parents went to settle the hospital bills, they found that the costs were surprisingly low, even lower than the average hospital would charge for treating a cold.
This was a large-scale contagious disease, so the hospital had subsidies, and the government also provided a part of the aid.
Even the new medicines used later were free of charge, which is why the hospitalization costs were so affordable.
Upon hearing this, parents who had caused trouble felt more than just their faces burning.
They felt remorse for all they had done before.
Several of them, unable to bear the accusing voice of conscience, even went to Director Zhu to apologize for their previous actions.
But what good did Director Zhu’s forgiveness do them?
He had only had a ward smashed, which contained nothing of value, so there was no real loss; but what was lost belonged to the Tang Family.
“We want to see Dr.
Tang,” one parent finally couldn’t hold back any longer, wanting to apologize to the Tang Family.
“Now you remember, where were you before?”
Director Zhu asked this parent.
Could the parents admit they previously didn’t have the face to do so, and now it was only the courage of the crowd that spurred them?
“It’s too late,” Director Zhu sighed, “Just go home and wait for the court summons.”
At Director Zhu’s words, several parents turned pale with shock, “Wasn’t everything settled?
Wasn’t it said to be alright?”
Director Zhu, hearing their words, truly did not even wish to spare them a derisive smile.
“Who said the issue was resolved, who told you it was fine, who told you it was nothing?”
The reason nothing was done initially was because of these children.
What did they think Tang Yuxin was?
What did they take Tang Zhinian for?
Who did they believe Gu Qing to be?
They almost caused someone’s child to suffer brain damage from a beating, and they thought nothing needed to be done, that an act of violence could just be forgotten.
If it really could be so simply forgotten, if it could be let go so cheaply, does it mean anyone could come to his hospital to beat and kill at will?
Who would guarantee the safety of their hospital, the safety of the medical staff, who would be responsible?
This issue had never been resolved.
These people still didn’t realize what they had done wrong, still thinking they could just assault the medical staff, vandalize the hospital as they pleased?
They were now living in a society governed by the rule of law, not one where they could simply rampage, steal, and kill at will.
These parents left the director’s office with calm expressions, after all, their children had finally been discharged from the hospital and were safe at last, and they could take a good rest, go back to work, earn money again.
But then they were informed they might have to face a court summons and that they could not only get fined but also possibly go to jail.
