"hiss--"

Zhou Yi gasped, his chest heaving violently.

The level of a top-tier hospital director!

Does that mean he can find out what condition his grandmother is in now?

The hospital kept saying that Grandma was unconscious. He wasn't in the medical field, so he could only rely on the hospital's analysis reports to know about Grandma's current condition.

If the system hadn't said that successfully completing the strategy would save his grandmother, Zhou Yi would have almost transferred to medical school.

Now that he had some basic medical skills, Zhou Yi wanted to take his grandmother's pulse immediately so he could understand her current health condition.

But as soon as he moved, the wound on his back was torn open and bled, so he had to suppress the urge to go find his grandmother immediately.

I'll visit Grandma again once the wound on my back has healed a bit.

Zhou Yi lay back down on the bed and took his pulse. After confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, he began to worry about Shen Bingyan's situation. He wondered what kind of person Shen Bingyan was.

Judging from her overall demeanor, she must be a cold person!

But perhaps, should, or probably he has a better conscience than Su Qingjiao?

Zhou Yi, lost in thought in bed, had no idea that Shen Bingyan, whom he so desperately wanted to win over, was on a plane being sent to Kyoto for emergency treatment.

That 20% of goodwill was merely the goodwill Shen Bingyan felt before she fainted, seeing Zhou Yi indifferently ignore Su Qingjiao's pleas for help, and believing that he had finally seen through Su Qingjiao's true colors.

Aunt Zhou returned to the ward quickly, but she didn't look well.

She hesitated whether to tell Zhou Yi the truth, worried that if she did, Zhou Yi's injuries would worsen due to the emotional fluctuations.

Zhou Yi's expectant eyes lost their smile when he saw the expression on Aunt Zhou's face after she returned with the news.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and spoke cautiously:

"Auntie, what happened? Tell me."

Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed with pity. Sigh, if she hadn't seen the hotel's video before, she would have doubted whether Shen Bingyan even existed!

After investigating for so long, apart from that side profile photo at the hotel, there has been no further news about Shen Bingyan.

"I've asked the teachers and nurses."

"They all say there's no such person as Shen Bingyan!"

Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then forced a smile: "Perhaps she wasn't hospitalized; that must be it."

"She must be from our school."

"I'll be able to see her as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital!"

Anxiety enveloped Zhou Yi like a giant cocoon. His hands, gripping the blanket tightly, turned white. He knew perfectly well that Shen Bingyan had disappeared once again!

I might not be able to find her again!

But he still held a sliver of hope that perhaps Shen Bingyan simply wasn't hospitalized, which was why the teachers didn't know her name.

Given that so many students were injured and hospitalized this time, the teachers probably wouldn't make a point of recording the names of the students who weren't injured.

That must be it.

Seeing Zhou Yi like this, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She made up her mind that no matter how long it took, she would find this girl named Shen Bingyan for Zhou Yi.

"Xiao Yi, don't worry, I've been sending people to look for her."

"Now that you've met her at school, I'll be paying close attention to the school from now on."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi smiled.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Zhou opened her mouth to speak when a scream suddenly came from the next ward.

The voice was heart-wrenching, filled with endless pain: "Aaaaaah!! My face! Why is my face wrapped in bandages! No! This isn't me!"

"This is impossible! You must be lying to me!"

Zhou Yi and Aunt Zhou exchanged a glance. Was that Su Qingjiao's voice?

Just five minutes ago, Su Qingjiao was violently jolted awake from her unconscious state by the pain.

Her face felt like it was on fire, or like it was being bitten by ants; it was both painful and itchy, and she couldn't help but want to reach out and scratch.

However, what the fingers touched was not their own skin, but layers upon layers of gauze.

Su Qingjiao's pupils contracted sharply as she suddenly recalled the scene before she fainted.

She desperately pleaded with Zhou Yi for help, but he didn't even glance at her and coldly turned and left.

She inhaled too much smoke and didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

A minute after Zhou Yi left, a fire suddenly burst in from outside, and she collapsed in the spot closest to the door.

The fire relentlessly burned her face, and she desperately tried to escape with all her might.

The intense heat of the fire and the brief lack of oxygen left her powerless to escape. In the end, her memory stopped at the moment she screamed in despair and fainted.

She vividly remembers the burning pain on her face from the fire.

At that moment, as his fingers touched the gauze on his face, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Su Qingjiao could no longer care about the pain all over her body. She abruptly pulled out the IV drip from the back of her hand. The pain in her hand didn't even make her frown. She stumbled towards the bathroom.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was completely covered up, with only my eyes, mouth, and nostrils showing.

Su Qingjiao raised her hand tremblingly, wanting to remove the gauze from her face.

"hiss--"

While unwrapping the gauze, her fingers applied a little too much force and hit her face, causing Su Qingjiao to burst into tears from the pain.

it hurts!

She was in so much pain that her whole body was trembling.

But she was still lying to herself, believing that her face would be fine.

The hospital must be making a fuss over nothing.

But can anyone tell her why her face hurts so much?

She was in so much pain from just a slight touch that she wanted to roll around on the ground.

Ouch!

The nurse pushed open the door to change Su Qingjiao's IV drip, but seeing Su Qingjiao standing in the bathroom trying to remove the gauze, she quickly and sternly stopped her: "Miss, you inhaled too much smoke, and you're not well yet."

"Go back to bed and rest quickly."

Su Qingjiao swayed, gripping the sink tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with panic: "What happened to my face? Tell me the truth."

"Tell me quickly! What happened to my face! Patients have the right to know."

The nurse's eyes flickered, her tone full of pity: "Cosmetic surgery is so advanced now, you don't need to worry too much."

"With your good foundation, you'll definitely be able to look even more beautiful after the surgery."

The nurse offered words of comfort, pointing out that cosmetic surgery is a trend nowadays, and many girls who love beauty undergo the procedure.

She thought that comforting Su Qingjiao like this would make her feel a little better.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingjiao simply couldn't accept this reality.

She screamed at the nurse like a madwoman, her screams clearly audible even to those in the next ward.

The nurse realized she shouldn't say more; the senior nurses had taught her that in the hospital, you shouldn't have any sympathy for patients and should just do things strictly by the book.

However, her compassion was unacceptable to the patient in front of her, who even thought she was mocking her and vented her anger on her!
