Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 266 - My head is not an easy price.

"Doctor, how is her ankle? It looks a little severe", Li Xue asked worriedly as her eyes went to look at the doctor for one second and then again moved back to look at Yi Lan's foot.

"…" Even after waiting for quite some time, no reply came as the doctor was too stunned to process anything in his head. His eyes were fixed at the beauty which only thought to be existing in fantasy tales.

When Li Xue did not get the reply, she turned again to ask but before she could repeat her words, Feng Yi Lan complained grudgingly, "Li Xue, don't ask him. He is bad. He provoked me to break my other ankle too, saying, it will be a profit for him since it will bring him more money. He is a sadist, believe me"

As she said, she sobbed dramatically. Looking more like a bullied kid, crying in front of her mother. And Li Xue too was acting no less than a mother, who loves to spoil her kid. Taking her friend's words seriously, she turned to send glares at the man.

Dr Collin was taken aback when he has suddenly shot by that blazing fierceness but he was more confused at the scene as he truly had no idea what was the reason that brought such sudden change in the warm air of the woman.

Stuttering in his words, he asked with an awkward smile on his face. "Haha … Sor – sorry, I didn't hear any of your words before. Did you ask about Ms Feng's condition?"

"…" Li Xue did not say anything. She just folded her arms at her front and raised her eyes to give an 'obvious' gaze to him and the man instantly coughed to show the awkwardness he caused for himself.

"Ahh … I am sorry for being so unprofessional but I was thinking about my other patient's reports. Hope you did not mind my over sincerity for my patients."

Feng Yi Lan almost rolled her eyes at him as she mumbled between her sobs, "Sincerity, my foot! He must be thinking of ways to kill them too. Or maybe just thinking of ways to torture me more"

Of course, her words did not miss to reach Li Xue's ears. Due to her friend's words from before she was already feeling hostility against the doctor even though she knew that it was Yi Lan, who was simply exaggerating the things.

"If you have been sincere enough for your patients then I don't think Yi Lan would still be in such pain," she said, replying to his words and the doctor almost sweated in an instant. Stammering again he was about to defend himself but Li Xue simply did not give him any chance.

"Few moments before when you were thinking about other patients, I asked you about the condition of my friend, the patient you are currently attending"

"She is fine …" Dr Collin immediately answered, just as Li Xue's words got finished and it made him more fl.u.s.tered as he saw the woman frowning at his response.

"I mean she will be fine if she allows us to treat her. The injury is nothing but just a thin line scratch on her ankle bone. It's nothing serious and she will be all fine if she takes a rest of a few days, restraining herself from excessive use of her legs. But she is just not letting us treat her", he explained again, keeping himself all professional this time.

Li Xue heard him and then turned to look at the woman who was sitting on the bed with a sullen pout on her face.

Feng Yi Lan was definitely not satisfied with those words but when saw her Li Xue looking at her with a slightly disappointed look, she said with some guilt. "I am sorry Xue. I didn't think to throw a tantrum at first but I was scared. You know I hate pain and earlier he has pressed my ankle so hard that I almost felt like I would die from it".

Li Xue sighed looking at her. She knew well that her friend's overdramatic instincts get activated once she gets sick or sees the medicines making their way to her. Shaking her head at her childishness, she could only go and support her at the side.

"Okay, Yi Lan! Don't worry anymore. The injury is not that big. You don't have to take stress over it and then get scared. Let the doctor treat it and the pain will automatically dissipate. Okay?"

Feng Yi Lan pouted but then nodded, "Okay, I don't believe anyone but I believe you so I will let him treat me since you are telling me but on one condition."

Li Xue raised her brows at her and Yi Lan instantly corrected her words. "It's actually not a condition but a favour… more like a promise."

"Yi Lan, are you again planning to set me up on a blind date?"

At her words, someone's eyes instantly glittered. "Do you go on blind dates?" Dr Collin instantly asked, making Li Xue again turn to look at him with furrowed brows and Yi Lan to roll her eyes. "I mean … I am sorry, I interrupted your conversation. Please carry on".

Li Xue did not care to get bothered with him as at this moment something else was more important. Getting back at her friend she asked her to continue but Yi Lan simply shook her head in denial. "Nope, this time it's nothing about blind dates. So just relieve yourself and promise me your help first."

Her words felt weird to her ears but before Li Xue could ask her anymore, Yi Lan winced with pain, "ah … ahh … Li Xue, promise me fast. It's already hurting very much. I need to get treated fast or this pain will truly kill me".

Li Xue knew her friend well. Shaking her head, she simply said, "Yi Lan, you better not create another tough mess for me clear. This time I fear, it will cost my head".

"Don't worry Li Xue. I will stake my head before staking yours. And Feng Yi Lan's head is not an easy price. Just promise me first", Feng Yi Lan quickly added.

Nodding her head, Li Xue agreed. She has no other choice. With Yi Lan demanding in a situation, she has to give in. "Fine, I promise. Now first take the treatment. We can talk about it afterwards"

Feng Yi Lan nodded, sighing in relief. Now she just has to present everything with a better vision in front of Li Xue.
