Chapter 1254: Injured for a reason
The doctor smiled again and said, “Old gentleman, I am a doctor not a teacher; there’s no need to be so formal. But rest assured, I am very strict when it comes to treating illnesses. I will have strict control over what can and cannot be eaten.”
Professor Guo said with satisfaction, “That’s great, thank you, doctor. You’re the professionals, and I believe that under your care, Li Li will recover sooner.”
The doctor really liked the way the old gentleman spoke; he trusted doctors very much, unlike some people who not only distrust doctors but also trouble them every day, always thinking the doctors are out to harm their children.
“Thank you for your trust, we will definitely take good care of Ms. Li Li,” the doctor said with a smile.
He didn’t stay in the ward for too long and left after explaining the precautions.
After sending off the doctor, the smile on Professor Guo’s face disappeared immediately, replaced by an expression of both heartache and anger, “Child, I’ve told you not to get into conflicts with others, but you wouldn’t listen. You had to wait until you were in the hospital to regret it. Let’s see if you dare to fight with others again in the future?”
Of all the students, Professor Guo liked Li Li the most. She might not be the smartest, but she was definitely the most likable, with a nice personality, talkative, and quite serious when conducting experiments and research. Which teacher wouldn’t like her?
Li Li bit her lip and said softly, “I know I was wrong, and I will never fight again. Please stop scolding me.”
Professor Guo couldn’t bear to really blame Li Li, especially since she was already hospitalized. If he really wanted to scold her, he would wait until she was better.
The female student who came with Professor Guo asked, “Junior sister, why did you get into a fight with someone last night? I heard from others that you fought with a senior from our school, and it was right at the entrance of the boys’ dormitory. How did you end up there?”
When it came to Wu Hao, Li Li got angry; she sat up abruptly only to hurt her stomach again.
The senior sister hurried over to help her, “Be careful, don’t get too worked up.”
Li Li lay back down, “Actually, I didn’t want to fight him, but that person was just too much. He harassed my friend and belittled me. You know my temperament; I can’t stand being bullied, so I ended up fighting with him.”
The student beside her said, “I heard from a friend about what happened last night. At first, you didn’t strike back; it was that guy who tried to hit you, and you were just defending yourself. Moreover, the worst injury you received was while you were protecting your friend.”
Li Li nodded, “Yes, my friend was in the middle, and I was afraid of hurting her, so I stopped. But that guy had no morals at all and took advantage of the moment I stopped to attack my friend. I couldn’t let my friend get hurt, which led to my own injury.”
Professor Guo sighed, “There’s no point in arguing about who was right or wrong now. You both engaged in the fight, so you both share some blame. Even if it goes to the police, they might rule it as mutual assault, and no good would come of that.”
Li Li was well aware of this, which is why she only had Lan Ning call for an ambulance, not the police.
“I regret it so much now. If I had known he was such a person, I would definitely not have liked him,” Li Li said angrily.
The three with Professor Guo were shocked as if they had stumbled upon a big secret, but ultimately they did not press further. After all, it was Li Li’s private matter, and she would surely talk about it if she wanted to.
They chatted for a while, mostly about experiments. Professor Guo had planned to start a new research project this week, but now with Li Li injured, she definitely couldn’t participate in the initial research, so he wanted to ask for her opinion on whether to wait for her.
Li Li was quite interested in the new project, but she was stuck in the hospital and wouldn’t be able to leave for a while.
After thinking it over, she decided to let Professor Guo start the project. If she could catch up with the preliminary research, she would continue to participate in the experiments. If not, she would join experiments under other teachers.
Professor Guo nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll start the project then. I will help you get in touch with the teachers to supervise you.”
