Xin Zimo said angrily, “I told you many times that you can’t eat ice cream. You have to wait until you are fully recovered before eating these things. Moreover, the weather is so cold. Are you planning to spend the winter in the hospital?”
“I’m just going to have a few bites of it. I won’t eat too much of it.” The old man tried to justify himself.
“No! Not even a bite! Not even a little! Next time I see you eating ice cream, I’ll make the nurse change your meals to something you won’t like!” Xin Zimo threatened.
Upon hearing her, the old man was scared and quickly surrendered. “Okay okay okay. I won’t eat it, alright?”
“You said that yourself. If you don’t do what you say, then you’re a dog!”
“Alright, alright.”
Just then, a nurse came searching hurriedly. The moment she saw Xin Zimo, she looked a little frightened. “Miss Alina… You’re here? The director was just looking for you…”
Alina was Xin Zimo’s English name.
Xin Zimo glared at the nurse and said, “Why did you let the patient wander around? Do you know that Mr. Diesse almost ate ice cream just now? How can you be so negligent?”
“I’m sorry… It’s my fault.” The nurse lowered her head and quickly apologized without even trying to defend herself.
Xin Zimo continued to lecture the nurse before telling her to walk the old man away.
Xin Zimo went back to Mu Xiaoxiao and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry. I was caught up with something, but luckily you’re still here.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked behind the girl and noticed the nurse glaring back at Xin Zimo.
It seemed that Xin Zimo was really unpopular.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, “Is that old man your relative?”
“No,” Xin Zimo explained. “He is a patient here, not my relative.”
“Then why do you care so much about him? When I saw you run over to scold him, I thought you were… I almost misunderstood you. You were doing it for his own good? Since he isn’t your relative, why do you care so much about him?” And he seemed quite amenable to you. Are you staff here?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Actually, Xin Zimo looked about the same age as her. Unless her family was very poor and could not afford to send her to study, she shouldn’t be coming out to work at such a young age.
Besides, her father was the director of this hospital. How could she not be afford to study?
“I’m not staff here…” Xin Zimo mumbled.
Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to understand and said, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to answer, then don’t mind me. I was just curious and couldn’t help myself. It’s okay if you don’t want to answer the question.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you… Actually, my father is the director of this hospital. I come here often and like to wander around, so I got to know a lot of the patients. Sometimes, I’ll help out the nurses. That’s all.” Zimo said after some hesitation.
“Didn’t you say that… your father was a painter?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Xin Zimo chuckled and explained, “That is my biological father. The director of this hospital is my stepfather. My biological father… He passed away when I was young. When my mother met my stepfather, they married, and she moved to America.”
So that was why…
