Chapter 64: Chance Encounter in the Rain 

After lying in the hospital for more than half a month, Fan Xia finally was discharged and returned home to recuperate. At the same time, just a day earlier, Ning Xiaobei also had his bandages removed from his head, marking a double stroke of good fortune.

For someone who had almost been stabbed to death, Ning Xiaobei couldn't understand how he could be up and about in such a short time. Although the stitches had been removed from his head, he still felt a dull ache.

Ning Xiaobei thought to himself as he rubbed his newly grown stubble. The short greenish hair against his scalp felt oddly satisfying, like scratching an itch. So lately, Fan Xia would always find some excuse to massage his head, almost like stroking a cat. Fortunately, once his hair grew out, the wound would no longer be visible.

Thinking about scars, Ning Xiaobei involuntarily touched the outer side of his left arm.

It seemed that the scar removal cream from Old Lady Ning's friend's son was quite effective. He wondered if applying it more diligently would make even this slight mark disappear.

Ning Xiaobei waited outside the hospital department for a while but didn't see Fan Xia come down, so he decided to give him a call.

"Yeah, I'll be down soon. It's just that there's a bit of an issue with the reimbursement documents. I'll come down as soon as it's sorted out."

This time, Fan Xia was "injured on duty," so all his hospitalization and medical expenses could be reimbursed from his work account. Because he also had bought commercial insurance, some procedures were a bit troublesome.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Xiaobei began to think about what he could do to help when he got home.

In addition, another important event happened in the past few days—Uncle Zhao moved back from the nursing home to the apartment building. He didn't want to trouble the two "disabled people," so he found a temporary housekeeper to clean up the house and moved into the second bedroom where Ning Xiaobei used to sleep.

Yes, although it wasn't clear what crucial point in this world triggered Fan Xia's awakening, this significant change greatly boosted Ning Xiaobei's confidence.

He was convinced that everything was moving in a positive direction.

As for Shanghai's winter, it was truly unpredictable. Just moments ago, the sky was clear, but now it had started drizzling misty rain. Ning Xiaobei looked up at the hazy rain and hurriedly picked up his luggage bag and basin to run back.

Entering the hospital building through the glass doors, Ning Xiaobei placed his luggage on the silver-white bench in the waiting area without bothering to shake off the raindrops on his coat. As he turned around, he saw a caregiver struggling to push a wheelchair into the building.

The wheelchair seemed to be stuck somewhere, and no matter how she rocked it back and forth, the wheelchair just wouldn't budge. The elderly man in patient clothing sitting in the wheelchair was getting anxious and calling out, "Hey, hey."

Ning Xiaobei quickly rushed out and squatted down beside them.

"The wheels are stuck," he said after a careful examination, then turned to the caregiver and said, "Auntie, can this old man walk? If you help him inside, I'll fix the wheelchair. Without him standing up, I can't get it unstuck."
