Chapter 2648 - 2623: The Sound of a Shattered Dream

Gao Yang felt something was a bit off about this.

He didn’t really have any basis, he just felt something was off.

Gao Yang, Frey, Joseph, along with Yarebin and Glewatov, all five of them were staring at the chubby nurse, then they all looked at Liang Dong in unison, then back at the nurse, and finally back at Liang Dong again.

"What are you looking at? What’s so interesting? Can’t you see the girl’s face is turning red?"

Liang Dong, having been hospitalized for a while, had his temper increase. After grumbling a bit, he waved to the chubby girl and said, "Come here, don’t mind them, these guys are no good. Make way, you’re blocking the path!"

The chubby nurse pushed the cart to the bedside, skillfully changing things and taking temperature and such. Liang Dong impatiently said, "I’m fine now, isn’t it annoying to take my temperature every day? Hey, let me ask you, is the braised pork tasty?"

The chubby nurse nodded slightly and whispered, "It’s delicious, my whole family likes it. My mom says it should be the main dish when we entertain guests in the future. She also asked me to thank you."

Liang Dong looked unhappy and said, "If it’s that good, why don’t you sneak me a bit, even just two pieces would do."

The chubby nurse cautiously said, "Ms. Gaudette doesn’t allow it. Last time, she was already very angry. If I give you prohibited food again, I won’t be able to take care of you anymore, and I’d be fired for seriously violating hospital rules."

Liang Dong’s attitude immediately softened, and he said softly, "It’s that serious? I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was that serious. When you come in the afternoon to take me out for a walk, I’ll teach you how to make candied pork knuckles. You Germans will definitely love it."

The chubby nurse nodded slightly, glanced at Gao Yang and the others, packed up her stuff, and quickly hurried out of the ward like she was escaping.

As soon as the chubby nurse left, Gao Yang immediately shouted, "Alright!"

"Ward romance, huh."

"Mouse, hooking up with the nurse while recovering, that’s a soldier’s privilege!"

"Well done."

Gao Yang sat on Liang Dong’s bed, reached out and gave him a pat. When Liang Dong yelped in pain, Gao Yang said loudly, "Wow, using food to woo a girl, I’ve seen that. But using indirect cooking lessons to woo a girl is a first. Mouse, you’re something else. With the girl’s size, you can’t miss!"

While Gao Yang and the others were throwing compliments at Liang Dong, Liang Dong, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "What nonsense! She’s so chubby..."

Glewatov immediately said, "What do you mean by that? Is being chubby not good?"

Liang Dong hurriedly said, "No, no, I’m not saying being chubby is bad. It’s just... you misunderstood."

Gao Yang chuckled twice, then said seriously, "I think this girl is quite nice. To say she’s very pretty would be a lie, but she really is nice. She’s good-tempered, accommodates you in every way, and doesn’t look bad at all. Aside from being a bit chubby, there’s no drawback."

Liang Dong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "Boss, are you going to get me something to eat? What time is it?"

Gao Yang immediately said, "I’ll go right now, you wait."

Gao Yang had just reached the doorway when he saw a face that made him shudder appear at the door.

Healing and treating injuries are a doctor’s job, but getting patients to recover is a nutritionist’s job. At least here, caring for injured soldiers’ recovery falls under the nutritionists’ responsibilities.

The nutritionist who once made even Satan and the Angels in Ukraine feel like they were in paradise.

With a cold, expressionless face, the nutritionist walked in without acknowledging Gao Yang and the others in the ward, holding a plate with green goo that looked like snot. She placed it in front of Liang Dong and said coldly, "Eat! I’m watching you eat, and you can’t leave a bite!"

Liang Dong took the plate, then looked at Gao Yang with a pleading look.

Gao Yang cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ma’am, I just want to ask if he could eat something else, especially meat. It wouldn’t hurt, would it?"

Shooting Gao Yang a cold glance, the nutritionist said coolly, "His abdomen is injured, and his stomach and intestines are severely damaged. Eating any unauthorized food could cause severe adverse effects. If he wants to eat meat, he’ll have to wait at least another month. Of course, you can replace me, and he can eat whatever he wants. If he dies, it won’t be my concern."

Yarebin slammed his cane and angrily said, "What kind of attitude is that!"

The nutritionist remained cold as she replied, "This is the world’s best medical rehabilitation center. Listen up, the best! And I am the chief nutritionist here. I meticulously plan each meal according to the patient’s recovery status. Just so you know, each of my meal plans is worth one thousand euros. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very busy. If you’re planning to replace the rehabilitation nutritionist, I’d be more than happy."

Gao Yang hurriedly said, "No, no, it’s fine, just let him eat these, nothing else is allowed. Mouse, bear with it a bit."

The nutritionist continued coldly, "If you’re planning to visit the patient in the next room, you’d better go now, because he only has twenty minutes of visitation time."

Gao Yang immediately leaned over and whispered in Liang Dong’s ear, "Brother, sorry about this. It’s for your own good, just endure it a bit longer. Let me tell you some news: the Angel Mercenary Corps suffered huge losses this time. Once a few of their injured pass the critical stage and can be transferred, they’ll definitely come here to keep you company, no problem."

Liang Dong angrily said, "What do they have to do with me? What does them going hungry have to do with me? What does it have to do?"

"Well, seeing them worse off will make you feel better, right? With someone worse off, you won’t feel so bad in comparison, right? Hang in there."

With that, Gao Yang quickly stood up and said loudly, "Let’s go see Hammer, go see Hammer."

Gao Yang and the others ignored Liang Dong’s angry shouts and quickly rushed out of the ward, even Yarebin sped up his pace.

As they were about to leave, Gao Yang heard Liang Dong let out a fart, and although the sound of farting wasn’t very elegant, Gao Yang felt it sounded like Liang Dong’s dreams being shattered.

Hammer was different from Liang Dong. Watching Gao Yang and the others enter the ward one by one, Hammer, just waking up, lowered his eyes and quietly said, "Captain, I’m sorry."

Yarebin, leaning on his crutch, walked to Hammer’s bedside, resting both hands on the crutch, stared at Hammer for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head too and said, "I’m sorry, Hammer."

Hammer lifted his head in surprise, and Yarebin said calmly, "I decided to give up on you, it was Gao Yang. He insisted on rescuing you, so I need to apologize to you."

Excitedly, Hammer said, "But I was at fault, abandoning me was the right choice."

Yarebin sighed lightly, "Whether it was the right choice or not, Gao Yang’s insistence saved your life, so stop saying sorry and just say thank you."
