Sun Guixiang once again held the empty lunch box, still kneeling on the ground, looking up at the young man on the hospital bed. She felt that her weathered, withered and dry heart was slowly being soaked by an unprecedented warm and sour feeling.
She didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing this fragile and precious tranquility.
Just then—
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Three extremely restrained and regular knocks on the door suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.
Sun Guixiang shuddered subconsciously and looked towards the door in a daze.
The doctor seemed a little early for rounds at this hour? The nurse had just changed the medicine...
Ye Qingliu's gray-blue eyes turned towards the door almost instantly.
The almost empty calmness that had just appeared in his eyes receded like the tide, and was replaced by a sharp, all-seeing scrutiny.
Although he was still leaning weakly against the head of the bed with a pale face, the change in his eyes was like the eyes of a sleeping beast suddenly opening when disturbed.
"Please come in." Ye Qingliu's voice returned to its usual clear and calm tone, without any emotion in it.
The door was gently pushed open.
A doctor wearing a standard white coat, a medical mask and a disposable hair cap walked in.
He was of medium build and walked steadily, pushing a small cart loaded with various medical equipment.
The mask covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. His eyes were calm and professional, gentle and focused as he looked at Ye Qingliu lying on the hospital bed.
Behind him followed two young female nurses who were also wearing masks and nurse caps. One was pushing an IV stand and the other was holding a clipboard. They moved skillfully and looked downcast, appearing very professional.
"Boss, I'm the doctor on duty tonight, Dr. Chen. I'm here to do a routine overnight checkup on you to see how you're recovering."
The doctor's voice came through the mask, a little low, but the tone was gentle, sounding very professional and reliable.
Two nurses stood quietly beside the cart and began to organize the IV tubes and clipboards, as if they were just assistants doing a routine job.
Sun Guixiang quickly got up from the ground and stood aside awkwardly, her hands still tightly holding the blue print package, as if it was her amulet.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Qingliu responded lightly, but his eyes were like the most sophisticated scanner, quietly sweeping over the three people - the doctors' white coats and name badges.
The height of a nurse's heels, the subtle movements of her knuckles as she adjusts the equipment, her seemingly downcast yet barely perceptible glances...
Finally, it fell into the depths of the doctor's seemingly calm and gentle eyes.
When those eyes met Ye Qingliu's scrutinizing gaze, the pupils seemed to shrink extremely slightly, almost imperceptibly, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
The nurse holding the clipboard next to her also tightened her fingertips imperceptibly for a moment.
"It's my duty." Dr. Chen walked to the bedside, picked up the stethoscope from the cart with swift movements, and said in a gentle voice.
"Please cooperate a little while I listen to your heart and lungs."
He leaned over and, with standard posture, placed the tip of his stethoscope toward the open collar of Ye Qingliu's hospital gown.
Sun Guixiang held her breath and watched nervously.
At the same time, the nurse who was pushing the IV stand seemed to naturally adjust the position of the IV stand, bringing it closer to the head of the bed. The metal stand reflected a cold light under the light.
The nurse holding the recording board leaned slightly to the side, blocking the angle from which Sun Guixiang might pounce.
Just before the cold stethoscope tip touched the boy's pale skin—
Something strange happened suddenly!
The calmness in Dr. Chen's seemingly gentle eyes suddenly shattered, replaced by an icy, inhumane murderous intent.
He stretched out his wrist and flipped it suddenly, his movement as fast as lightning.
Where was the stethoscope tip? In the dim light, it was clearly an extremely fine needle tip, gleaming with a cold blue light.
The needle tip pierced Ye Qingliu's exposed carotid artery!
Precise aim! Brutal strike! Silent and unnoticed!
“Ah——!!!” Sun Guixiang’s cloudy pupils shrank into needle points in an instant.
Almost at the same moment the doctor took action!
*The nurse pushing the IV stand had a fierce look in her eyes and was holding the bottom of the heavy metal IV stand with both hands.
Like swinging a battering ram, with a dull sound of wind, it smashed fiercely towards Ye Qingliu's chest and abdomen, which were wrapped in thick gauze and exposed when he leaned back to avoid the needle tip.
The nurse holding the clipboard shook her wrist, and a syringe with turbid liquid in it that had been prepared in advance suddenly slipped out from under the clipboard.
She moved as fast as lightning, and the tip of the needle pierced the blood vessel in Ye Qingliu's arm, which was exposed due to him grabbing the doctor's wrist and was pierced with a retention needle.
The intention is obvious - even if the person cannot be killed, a deadly poison must be injected!
Sun Guixiang's mind went blank. Driven by instinct, she rushed towards the bed like a mother animal protecting her cubs.
She wanted to use her body to block it! To protect the "little friend"! Even if it meant using her old bones!
However, her movements were too slow.
At this critical moment, when there is no return!
The young man on the hospital bed, who looked weak and had just been quietly eating mung bean cake, moved.
He moves as fast as a killer.
It was a reaction that surpassed the limits of a severely injured body, as if etched into the bones! The excruciating pain from the serious injury seemed to be completely suppressed by the extreme danger at this moment!
Ye Qingliu did not try to dodge the deadly needle tip. Instead, he suddenly leaned his upper body back, and the hand that had just been holding the mung bean cake, with slightly cold fingertips, like a poisonous snake ready to strike, grabbed the killer's wrist with incredible precision.
