Old Gao's face also showed fear, and he made a heavy "crackling" sound in his throat.
Gao Guang sensed something was wrong and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Great-Grandpa?"
Noticing that Old Man Gao's gaze was fixed on his back, he couldn't help but turn around curiously to look, but Old Man Gao grabbed his arm.
Gao Guang was startled: "Great-grandfather?"
Old Gao's eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets as he stared intently at Gao Guang, and said in a hoarse voice, "Quick, run, there's a ghost..."
"A ghost?" Gao Guang was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and chuckled, "Great-Grandpa, you've misunderstood. She's not..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard intermittent sobbing behind him, which made him tremble involuntarily.
[What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? Why is there crying coming from the anchor's end? It sounds creepy.]
Me too, I'm a little scared.
At this moment, the live stream's view was focused on Old Man Gao's terrified face; all other sounds could be heard, amplifying the terrifying atmosphere.
Gao Guang didn't even bother adjusting his perspective at this moment. He suddenly turned around and saw the nurse who had been talking to him so nicely just moments before walking towards him with her long hair disheveled and her limbs stiff and unsteady. The sobbing sound was coming from her. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but swallow hard: "N-Nurse? Are you...are you alright?"
The viewers in the live stream were extremely anxious.
[The nurse? The nurse from earlier? What happened to her?]
[What happened? Can the anchor change the camera angle? I can't see anything at all, I'm so worried!]
There's something I've been hesitant to say: that young woman who claimed to be a nurse wasn't wearing a nurse's uniform at all. Didn't any of you notice?
[...]
[...]
[Host, I suggest you run away first.]
Xing Zhaozhao ignored them, sobbing softly as she staggered to the bed next door. Looking down at the immobile, terrified Old Lady Gao, she whispered, "Finally found you... I died so tragically, Grandma... It's so cold down there, just like the night I died... I'm so hungry. I did so much work, why won't they even give me a proper meal... My poor child was cold and hungry too, and was smothered to death... Waaah... Mingcheng isn't dead, why did you lie to me? I searched for him down there for so long but couldn't find him... I had no choice but to come down and keep you company..."
Grandma Gao's previously normal electrocardiogram suddenly became a straight line.
He was barely clinging to life with the help of medical equipment, and this time he was scared to death.
Xing Zhaozhao slowly turned her head to look at the old man on the other hospital bed.
Old Man Gao was in slightly better physical condition than Old Woman Gao, but he was also so frightened that his heart started racing.
He grabbed Gao Guang's arm for help.
Gao Guang watched as the old lady on the next hospital bed died in the blink of an eye. He truly believed that an evil spirit had come for revenge. Terrified, he turned pale, forcefully shook off the old man's arm, turned and ran away, screaming in agony, "Help! There's a ghost..."
He didn't even care about the phone he was using to livestream; it fell to the ground with a "bang," the screen went black, and the connection was lost.
Gao Guang escaped from the room and hurriedly tried to leave downstairs, but he missed a step and tumbled down the stairs, knocking himself unconscious.
Xing Zhaozhao picked up Gao Guang's phone from the ground, glanced at it to make sure the live stream was closed, then casually put it aside. She looked at the old man on the hospital bed with a blank expression and said coldly, "I didn't expect you guys to still be alive."
Old Gao stared blankly at Xing Zhaozhao. She...isn't a ghost? How could that be?
"Living like this must be painful, right? You want to die but can't," Xing Zhaozhao asked.
Old Gao's eyes revealed a deep hatred.
Xing Zhaozhao pretended not to see it: "I understand what Mingcheng means, but it has not been easy for him to get to where he is now. I don't want him to have any stain on his record because of you. It's not worth it."
Old Gao realized something, and his pupils contracted.
Xing Zhaozhao reached out and unplugged the ventilator that was still working hard.
A hint of relief, but also a trace of resentment, flashed in Old Man Gao's eyes. He had finally been freed from so many years of suffering, but he was still unwilling to accept it. He had finally raised a successful son, but he hadn't been able to enjoy any of the good things in life because of him. It was all her fault.
Old Gao finally closed his eyes slowly, though reluctantly.
Xing Zhaozhao turned and left the room. When she reached the stairs, she saw that the nurse on duty had already arrived with the security guards and was inspecting the flashlight that had fallen downstairs.
"Did you fall down?" Xing Zhaozhao asked as she walked down the path.
The nurse on duty: "..." There were only the two of you there at the time, shouldn't you know better?
However, she didn't dare to ask so directly. She looked at the unconscious Gao Guang, nodded, and said, "It seems so."
"You're not dead, are you?" Xing Zhaozhao asked.
"No, she just fainted from the fall," the nurse on duty said.
"That's good." Xing Zhaozhao said, then pointed to the room upstairs, "Take care of those two in that room too."
The nurse on duty paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. She nodded calmly and said, "I understand. By the way, I've informed the old general; he's on his way."
"Okay, I'm going back now," Xing Zhaozhao said as she walked straight outside.
The nurse on duty was worried, so she personally escorted her all the way and watched her return to her room before turning to leave.
Gao Mingcheng arrived an hour later. He pushed open the door and entered the room. He saw Xing Zhaozhao lying on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. He then tiptoed in.
Xing Zhaozhao's ears twitched, she opened her eyes, and sat up: "Coming."
Gao Mingcheng paused for a moment, then walked straight over and sat down beside her: "I thought you were asleep."
"How could I possibly sleep?" Xing Zhaozhao glared at Gao Mingcheng. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Gao Mingcheng smiled dismissively and said, "It's nothing, no need for you to worry about it."
"I'm not going to worry about it now? Is it worth getting my hands dirty for them?" Xing Zhaozhao said irritably.
Gao Mingcheng patted her head and said, "I just can't swallow this."
"As a result, they seized the opportunity to slander me online." Xing Zhaozhao glared at Gao Mingcheng, looking worried. "I wonder if my ghost act fooled them?"
"It's alright, Hongfei will clarify things," Gao Mingcheng comforted her.
"By the way, the kids will all be back tomorrow. Come home with me and we'll have a get-together," Gao Mingcheng said to Xing Zhaozhao.
"Okay." Xing Zhaozhao nodded with a smile. After the summer vacation ended, the children all went back to Beijing to study, and it had indeed been a long time since they had seen each other.
