After two days of rest, Zhou Shuo had almost recovered. She arranged for Xiaobai and Xiaoling to prepare different kinds of delicious food for Mu Yao every day, and she would come to the hospital to see her whenever she had time.
This time when Mu Yao was sick, Zhou Shuo clearly felt that there was something different about her.
The child seemed to have a lot on her mind, and her relationship with her parents seemed even more distant.
She developed a resistance to the people around her, and spent most of her time sleeping, as weak as a doll.
Zhou Shuo rarely meets Lin Jun in the hospital. He doesn’t know if it’s because Lin Jun is too busy or if the two of them just don’t have the same schedule.
Zhou Shuo had only met Mu Guo twice. Mu Guo ignored her, and Zhou Shuo didn't care. She had no good feelings towards Mu Ci's parents.
Today, she had just arrived at Mu Yao's floor when she saw a panicked Mu Guo. He rushed over and asked her, "Have you seen Mu Yao?"
Zhou Shuo was stunned and asked, "What happened to Mu Yao? Isn't she in the ward?"
When Mu Guo heard this, he turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Mu Yao is missing!"
Zhou Shuo looked at his back in confusion. He stopped a hurried nurse nearby and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The young nurse was a little panicked. "Miss Mu Yao is missing. We've sent many people to look for her, but we still can't find her. I don't know where she went. President Lin has even fainted from crying!"
Mu Yao is missing again? Zhou Shuo couldn't help but frown.
There have been a lot of strange things happening recently, which made her think too much.
She walked quickly to Mu Yao's ward and saw that the bed and mattress were neatly tidy, and the things in the room were not messy. It seemed that no outsider had come to rob her. So, did Mu Yao leave on her own? If so, where would she go?
Zhou Shuo turned around and ran to her office. Mu Yao used to go to her office to find her by herself, and was scolded by Lin Jun for that.
However, there was no one in the office. The doctors and interns were all in the ward. No one was here.
As Zhou Shuo walked, she quickly thought about where Mu Yao might have gone, but she had no clue. Every time, it was Mu Yao who came to find her, and she didn't know Mu Yao's whereabouts.
Zhou Shuo stood at the spiral staircase, looked up, then down, and forced himself to calm down. Where would this awkward child go?
A nurse pushed several baby gurneys into the elevator. Zhou Shuo suddenly had an idea and rushed to the elevator, but the elevator door was already closed. Zhou Shuo pressed the elevator button and saw that the elevator was already going up.
She gritted her teeth, rushed to the stairs next to her, and ran upstairs quickly. The seventh floor was the pediatric department.
Zhou Shuo climbed all the way to the seventh floor. At the end of the corridor was a large nursery. Through a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling glass, he could see rows of baby cots inside, and there was a sleeping baby on each bed.
At this moment, Mu Yao, wearing a hospital gown, was standing in front of the large glass.
Zhou Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned her hands on her thighs, bent over and gasped for breath. So many things had happened during this period of time. She was so tired and felt her physical strength was declining.
She took a deep breath and was about to call Mu Yao, but she saw Mu Yao slowly sliding down the glass and sitting on the ground, as if she had lost her soul.
"Mu Yao——" Zhou Shuo quickly ran over and hugged her.
"Muyao, Muyao?" Zhou Shuo shook her gently and called her name.
Mu Yao struggled to open her eyes, and seeing Zhou Shuo, she said weakly, "Sister-in-law, look how small and pitiful they are. I'm so tired."
Pitiful? Zhou Shuo subconsciously turned around to look. Where was the pitiful part? Shouldn't it be cute?
When she turned around, Mu Yao had already closed her eyes and fainted.
"Mu Yao! Mu Yao!" Zhou Shuo called her name.
A nurse came over, and Zhou Shuo quickly stopped her and asked her to help: "Go and ask the director of the hematology department to go to the operating room immediately and help me pull a stretcher over!"
Zhou Shuo pushed Mu Yao towards the operating room. He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
When Mu Guo and Lin Jun arrived, Mu Yao had just been pushed into the operating room and was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.
"Where did you find Mu Yao?" Mu Guo asked as soon as he came up.
Zhou Shuo stood up and said truthfully, "The nursery on the seventh floor."
After hearing this, Lin Jun's eyes dodged for a moment.
Mu Guo turned around and asked Lin Jun, "What is she doing there?"
Lin Jun thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
But then she continued, "Could it be that she couldn't find Zhou Shuo, and knowing that the Shen family had two newborns, she thought Zhou Shuo was there, so she went looking for you?"
Lin Jun looked at Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo was stunned. Is that so?
Lin Jun said to Zhou Shuo with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, Zhou Shuo, this child only wants you now and ignores us. She always asks why you haven't come yet. I know you are busy taking care of Shen Bai and her child, so I told her. Maybe because of this, she went to the nursery to look for you."
Mu Guo was displeased when he heard this. He immediately said, "Mu Yao is the most important thing right now. Why are you caring about others? You should focus all your energy on Mu Yao!"
Zhou Shuo looked at Mu Guo in surprise, because Mu Guo was not talking to Lin Jun, but to her.
His square face was intimidating without being angry, and he looked at Zhou Shuo with sharp eyes.
Zhou Shuo met his gaze and asked calmly, "Mr. Mu, do you think I should take care of Mu Yao?"
Mu Guo obviously didn't expect Zhou Shuo to talk back, and said angrily: "Of course!"
Zhou Shuo smiled and asked him, "Excuse me, who am I to Mu Yao? Why do I need to take care of her?"
"You——" Mu Guo was speechless.
He couldn't answer at all.
"Mu Yao's sister-in-law? Has Mr. Mu ever acknowledged the relationship between Mu Ci and me? If he did, then who is that Miss Song Nan? If he didn't, then in what capacity should I take care of Mu Yao?" Zhou Shuo looked at the hypocritical man in front of him and felt very disapproving.
He probably never had a clear understanding of himself throughout his life, and still thought that he had a wife and concubines, enjoying the happiness of having two wives!
"You are a doctor! You have an obligation to take good care of your patients!" Mu Guo looked at her white coat and said viciously word by word.
Zhou Shuo sneered and responded to his accusation calmly: "Mr. Mu, first of all, I'm just a medical student, far from being a doctor. You really think too highly of me. Secondly, I'm just studying Chinese medicine. It's not my place to intervene in Mu Yao's illness. You two, Mu Yao has been found now. I have things to do, so I'll leave first!"
Lin Jun panicked and quickly chased after him, "Zhou Shuo, I'm sorry, Zhou Shuo, your father-in-law didn't mean that. Please don't misunderstand me. For Mu Yao's sake, please don't be angry."
Lin Jun's voice was choked with sobs.
