CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 220

Mia Ginger sighed in her heart, and decided not to think about these bothersome things. She turned her head to glance at Louis Cox and asked, "Has Zoey Leaf’s burial date been set?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Taking a day off?" Louis Cox glanced at her, "Do you need me to pick you up then?"

"No need." Mia Ginger forced a smile, "I’ll go by myself then."

"That works too." Louis Cox didn’t say much more.

He reached into his pocket for the keys, tightly holding his little niece’s hand, eyes slightly lowered, with his mind full of thoughts.

Ivy Cox spoke a lot.

Mia Ginger has this kind of temperament, pressing her too hard really isn’t good.

--

After the two finished eating, Louis Cox said no more, and rode away with Little Maeve.

This was completely unlike his usual style.

Mia Ginger was busy with military training and had no time to think much.

Soon—

Another day rushed by.

During the lunchtime in the afternoon, she applied for leave with her counselor.

Just waiting to go directly the next day.

Surprisingly, as soon as she returned to the dormitory, she saw a message from Koa Jackson in the afternoon.

A very brief sentence.

"There’s an operation, expected to take five hours. I won’t come to see you tonight, will pick you up at eight tomorrow morning, wait for me."

Mia Ginger was taken aback for a moment before she realized he knew about Zoey Leaf’s funeral tomorrow.

Pick her up?

Does it mean going together?

But—

In fact, the Fourth Hospital is not close to their school, even in the best traffic conditions it takes an hour by car, and it’s more than two hours to drive from their school to the cemetery.

He has an operation tonight?

Thinking about it, such a hassle tomorrow seemed very tiring.

Mia Ginger raised her wrist to glance at her watch.

Half past nine.

There is no direct bus from their school to the Fourth Hospital, taxis are too expensive, and the more economical options are either a bus to the subway and then another bus, or two bus changes.

The former is faster, but troublesome.

The latter is slightly slower, taking at least an hour and a half.

She could arrive at the Fourth Hospital by eleven.

Thinking of this, Mia Ginger started packing her things directly.

She greeted Tong Tong, who came in afterward, and left the school with a bag.

The first time.

This was her first time going to the Fourth Hospital to find Koa Jackson.

Thinking of it made her feel excited.

Although the crowded bus was troublesome and tiring, she didn’t feel tired at all.

On the way, looking at the city nightscape flashing with neon lights outside the window, she only felt that this city’s night was indeed beautiful and splendid.

When filled with anticipation, everything she saw was so pretty and wonderful.

At fifteen past eleven, she arrived at the entrance of the Fourth Hospital.

The outpatient building was already in complete darkness.

She found the security guard on duty at the main entrance and asked, then headed straight to the inpatient department with her bag.

The operating room is on the top floor of the inpatient department.

It was already so late, the inpatient department was also silent.

She took the elevator to the top floor, after searching for a while, she finally saw a patch of bright and warm light.

A young couple was squatting outside the operating room.

Mia Ginger stood for a moment in thought, then stepped forward, asking softly, "Excuse me, are you family members of the patient inside?"

"Who are you?"

A woman who appeared to be in her thirties stood up warily.

"I’m here to find someone," Mia Ginger scratched the back of her neck, "Um, do you know who the chief surgeon is?"

The two looked at her suspiciously, not saying a word.
