The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4723

“Ah?!” Man Yingjie’s face went pale with fear. He shouted, “Aunt Mei, what should we do now?!”

Mei Yuzhen replied quickly, “I think we made the right choice to go to Mexico. We need to leave for Mexico as soon as we can. The situation there is chaotic, which makes it easier for us to hide. Once we’re there, we can come up with a plan!”

…

At that moment, in a top private hospital in New York, Ma Lan had just woken up in a luxurious single room.

Even though she had a broken rib, it wasn’t too serious. The doctor had given her some medication to ease the pain, so she felt only a little discomfort.

But unlike her physical state, Ma Lan’s mind was troubled. She had many dreams during the night, and each one ended with her being sentenced to death.

She woke up several times, crying into her pillow.

Even though Charlie Wade had hired a strong lawyer for her, she still worried that she wouldn’t be able to prove her innocence.

Outside her room, several police officers stood guard to prevent her from escaping. They had been there all night.

A Chinese female doctor, specially assigned to Ma Lan, came to check on her. After the police opened the door, the doctor knocked gently and stepped inside.

Seeing that Ma Lan was awake, she asked kindly, “Ms. Ma, how are you feeling? Did you sleep well last night?”

Ma Lan’s eyes were red and tears streamed down her face as she choked out, “Last night… I don’t know how many times I was sentenced…”

“I really can’t believe this… it’s so unfair,” Ma Lan said, her voice filled with frustration.

The female doctor looked at her with sympathy. “Ms. Ma, I truly believe you’re innocent, but I’m just a doctor. The final decision is up to the judge.”

After a moment, the doctor changed the topic. “What would you like for breakfast? If there’s something you want, I can have the staff prepare it for you.”

Ma Lan quickly asked, “Is there anything I should avoid eating?”

The doctor shook her head. “Your attending physician said your injury isn’t serious, so you can eat what you prefer.”

“Great! Then I’d love some sea ginseng, preferably cooked with millet. I’ve heard it’s really good for you. I’ve seen football players eat it every day!” Ma Lan said eagerly.

The doctor nodded. “I’ll do my best. We might not have it in the hospital, but I’ll send someone to a Chinese restaurant to get some for you.”

Ma Lan’s eyes widened with worry. “I don’t have to pay for it, do I?”

“No,” the doctor assured her. “You won’t have to cover any of the costs here. Your lawyer has already taken care of it.”

Feeling relieved, Ma Lan’s excitement returned. “Then can I also have lobster porridge?”

“Absolutely,” the doctor replied with a smile.

Suddenly, Ma Lan remembered something else. “Oh, could you provide me with a proof of serious injury? That way, I could stay here longer.”

The doctor shook her head seriously. “Ms. Ma, your injury doesn’t qualify for that.”

The police have requested that you can be discharged at noon. Everything has been stabilized.
