Chapter 372 - 372 364 Oh My Xiao Hua
?Chapter 372: Chapter 364: Oh, My Xiao Hua Chapter 372: Chapter 364: Oh, My Xiao Hua Xiao Hua was taken away from the Pet Center after staying there for three days.
Because the injuries were not too severe, and the medicine used was good, combined with what the veterinarian said about Xiao Hua still being in the prime of life with good recovery abilities, the wound was treated and the fur cleaned, and she looked almost the same as usual. A check-up in a few days would be sufficient to see if there were any infections or other overlooked injuries.
Old Man Li was not in life-threatening danger either, but due to his age and numerous existing health issues, he was required to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days. It was the same requirement for the other old men who were hit along with him. Anyway, having companions around, Old Man Li did not feel lonely; however, he thought about Xiao Hua every day.
How nice it would be to have Xiao Hua around: she could act as a towel to wipe water, provide a supportive backrest, warm his feet in winter, much more effective than the woolen slippers his children bought him. The dog was big and imposing—walking with her outdoors brought him respect, and he was not afraid of being robbed at night. In times of danger, she would protect her owner. Such a good dog, he felt her absence keenly after just one day.
The elderly couple did not live with their children and grandchildren, so Xiao Hua was the one who spent the most time with Old Man Li. Even his wife came second, as the old lady had her own affairs to tend to, but the dog did not. The man and his dog were inseparable, even eating and sleeping together. At night, the dog would lie next to their bed. Old Man Li always felt particularly safe with such a large dog by his side, especially upon hearing about burglaries happening elsewhere, touching Xiao Hua’s head sentimentally and remarking that raising a dog was a good choice.
Old Man Li lay on the hospital bed and sighed as he looked out the window. Unfortunately, dogs were not allowed in the hospital. Teacher Xiao Jiao had secretly brought a cat into the hospital—he was not oblivious to that fact. But given Xiao Hua’s size, only a blind person would miss her presence; sneaking her in was impossible.
Aside from resting, Old Man Li spent his days chatting and bantering with some old friends while lying in bed, pretending to have a toothache.
Old Man Li’s wife found this amusing; all he wanted was his dog.
“I’ll bring Xiao Hua over tomorrow,” suggested Old Man Li’s wife.
His feigned toothache immediately disappeared. “How can you bring her? The hospital doesn’t allow it.”
“It’s fine. I’ll leave her with the hospital guard. I know one of the guards; just a word and it will be fine.”
