Chapter 603: Nobody Told Me Either!
The doctor finished reviewing the reports one by one with a smile still on his face.
Seeing the doctor finish all the reports with a cheerful expression, Mo Jingchun felt relieved.
Candy, with nowhere to sit, felt quite bored but was now curiously eyeing the large black rubber circle.
Candy compared it with her hand, surprised to find that the image on it seemed as big as her sister’s head.
Just as she was about to share this big discovery with her brother, the doctor adjusted his glasses and said in a somewhat flattering tone:
"Mr. Mo, Ms. Zhou’s body has no issues."
"However, the wound on her hand is an unknown cut. Although not deep, it has reached the inner skin layer, better to get a tetanus shot to avoid infection by anaerobic bacteria causing tetanus."
Both Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling understood how serious a tetanus infection could be.
When the condition is severe and untreated, the mortality rate is 100%.
"Hmm~ Ms. Zhou, have you ever had a tetanus shot? Any allergies?"
Zhou Yaling shook her head and answered honestly, "I’ve never had it."
"It’s the first time I’ve had such a deep wound."
Hearing this, the doctor nodded and quickly typed on the keyboard.
"We’ll perform a skin test first. If there’s no allergic reaction after half an hour, we’ll proceed with the injection."
"All right, Mr. Mo."
"Just pay the fee and collect the medicine in the first-floor lobby, then go to the nurse’s station on the second floor."
Mo Jingchun took Candy’s hand, "Thank you, doctor."
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome."
As Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling, with Candy, left the clinic to pay the fee and collect the medicine, the next patient called in watched the doctor with her prescription looking as if she owed money, feeling uneasy.
"Nothing major, no need for medication, just rest more at home."
"Nowadays, young people really treat staying up late as commonplace."
Ten minutes later, in the second-floor nurse’s station, Candy hid behind Mo Jingchun, secretly watching the nurse take out a needle for her sister’s skin test.
For the first time undergoing a skin test, Zhou Yaling took a sharp intake of breath from the pain.
"No one told me a skin test would hurt so much."
It’s like creating a bulge on the surface skin.
Seeing her sister’s twisted expression, Candy clung tightly to her brother’s leg in fear.
"Ouch..."
Mo Jingchun almost jumped up from the pain.
"Why are you pinching me?" Mo Jingchun glared, rubbing his thigh with both hands.
Under the gaze of the nurses, Candy gave an awkward smile.
"Couldn’t help it."
"Couldn’t help it."
"Wasn’t it scary?"
"You’re talking nonsense."
"Why don’t you pinch your own leg? Isn’t the flesh more comfortable to pinch?"
Candy stepped back, looking serious, "Pinching myself would hurt."
"How hard would one need to be to pinch oneself?"
Mo Jingchun expressed a desire to stay quiet for a while, not wanting to talk.
Thankfully, there were plenty of chairs here, and Mo Jingchun sat down.
Waiting for half an hour while standing would be too tiring.
Just then, Feiyan walked in, carrying food.
"Boss, I could only find egg pancakes outside."
Candy, who hadn’t had breakfast, smelled the aroma of egg pancakes and realized she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, no wonder things felt a bit off.
Handing the breakfast to Candy, Mo Jingchun calmly said, "Eat up."
"There’s only one egg pancake."
Glancing at the hesitating Candy, Mo Jingchun smiled warmly, "Only you didn’t have breakfast, we’ve already eaten."
Candy blinked, "Brother, that’s not what I meant."
"I mean there’s no milk."
Looking at Candy, Mo Jingchun had an impulse to hit someone.
With a look, Candy stopped talking, and quietly chomped on the egg pancake. As she ate, Candy’s eyes grew brighter; this egg pancake... had a delightful taste.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yaling was escorted into a cubicle by the nurse.
For a moment, Mo Jingchun seemed to hear the sound of slaughtering pigs.
The next second, Candy ran out of the cubicle, filled with lingering fear.
Such a large needle, truly frightening.
"Brother, brother, it’s too scary." Candy gestured with her small fingers, swallowing, "Brother, you didn’t see, the needle was as thick as a pinky finger."
Replying to a message from Xia Xiaomin, Mo Jingchun glanced up but paid it no mind—how could it be as thick as a pinky?
Still, the tetanus needle is indeed not small.
If he remembered correctly, besides the skin test, there are two tetanus shots in total.
One on the left and one on the right buttock.
Before long, Zhou Yaling came out, holding her back, grimacing in pain.
As she sat down next to Mo Jingchun, Zhou Yaling spoke tearfully, "No one told me the tetanus shot goes to the buttocks, and it’s two shots, one on each side."
With a slight smile, Mo Jingchun handed the phone to Zhou Yaling, "Look at this, and you’ll feel the three shots were worth it."
Squinting at the phone, Zhou Yaling’s eyes widened in surprise, yet a moment later she relented.
"Compared to this compensation, I won’t gamble with my life again."
"Who knows if next time I’ll be as lucky as today."
The phone had a message from Xia Xiaomin.
The station, after learning about the connection between passengers Zhou Yaling and Mo Jingchun, promptly compensated without any fuss.
In Huo County, who doesn’t know that the legal department of Candy Technology is notoriously difficult?
Taking back the phone, Mo Jingchun continued:
"Xia Xiaomin already told me; they’ve found your suitcase, slightly damaged, but nothing is missing."
"The phone can’t be found anymore, the signal is gone."
"Once home, go to my study and grab another phone from the cabinet, choose any model you like."
However, Zhou Yaling’s face showed little happiness.
Her original phone stored a lot of photos, data, contacts, and WeChat records.
Aside from contacts, other data couldn’t be recovered.
About twenty-or-so minutes later, that same nurse called Zhou Yaling in again.
This time, Mo Jingchun didn’t hear any sound of slaughtering pigs.
Instead, Candy ran out laughing, and whispered to Mo Jingchun’s ear:
"Brother, I’ll secretly tell you, sister cried when getting the shot."
Mo Jingchun looked up just in time to see Zhou Yaling hobbling out. Seeing this, Mo Jingchun frowned, "Did the needle hit the bone?"
If that were true, the consequences could be severe, possibly leading to lameness, which is why many vaccines now opt for arm injections.
After sitting down, a grimacing Zhou Yaling shook her head.
"No."
"It’s just really swollen."
Is that all? Mo Jingchun worried for nothing.
It’s not like it was injected into the vein, but rather into the tissue fluid of the buttock, swelling and pain are to be expected.
