Chapter 43 City of Happiness
◎Why don't you do it?◎
Looking ahead, a figure gradually emerged. It was Qin Ping.
He was the only one who could come in quietly.
Gu Nian was not very surprised. She had noticed something was wrong when the young nurse came in just now, and the flaws revealed by the other party were quite obvious. She guessed that it might be Qin Ping, but to be on the safe side she still tried it out, and it was indeed him.
Qin Ping said briefly, "The dean asked us to come find you."
Gu Nian nodded. Zhong Xingchi knew that she was here. They had been trapped in the paradise for some time, and the sanatorium probably knew about the pollution outbreak.
She asked, "You? Who else is coming?"
Qin Ping: "The captain and I." He paused, then added, "The others are busy."
Gu Nian thought for a moment and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll probably be here for a while. I'm fine for now, so why don't you go help Captain Tang find the contamination core first?"
Qin Ping shook his head: "The captain asked me to guard you." This was his mission.
Qin Ping had no intention of leaving, and Gu Nian finally didn't insist. After all, she was nominally a fragile therapist, and the only A-level one in the sanatorium.
Having multiple bodyguards is also good.
Gu Nian said: "Then you continue to maintain the mimicry, I will find you if I need you."
Qin Ping: "Okay."
They couldn't stay in the bathroom for too long, so before leaving, Gu Nian asked curiously, "Don't you have that happiness value? Or is it hidden?" She didn't see the happiness value on the other person's head.
Qin Ping did not answer, but a string of red numbers appeared above his head.
Happiness value: 30.
This happiness value is a bit low, Gu Nian kept it in mind. Just as she was about to open the door and leave, she suddenly heard an inaudible "thank you" from behind. When she turned around, Qin Ping had "disappeared."
Gu Nian opened the door and walked out.
Lin Baozhu, perhaps frightened by Gu Nian's appearance, remained silent upon seeing her emerge, lying quietly on the bed. However, she wasn't quite resting, tossing and turning from time to time, her breathing becoming increasingly heavier. As the night deepened, the entire room was filled with the sound of her labored breathing.
Gu Nian pushed Fang Tong over and asked with concern, "I heard that if you get a heart transplant that doesn't suit you, you'll have a rejection reaction. Are you okay? Do you want to ask the nurse to bring some more medicine?"
Lin Baozhu turned her head to face Fang Tong and said stiffly, "No need. The doctor said this is a normal reaction during the recovery period. It should be fine after a while."
Gu Nian said, "Okay then." She put Fang Tong's wheelchair away, then found a chair to sit down. "But I'll still stay with you, so I can call someone over if anything happens." After saying that, she closed her eyes and pretended to rest.
Lin Baozhu gritted her teeth and finally turned around.
However, by midnight, Lin Baozhu's condition had not improved and had become so severe that she could not breathe. She clutched her heart in agony and could not speak. In the end, it was Gu Nian who first noticed something was wrong and pressed the emergency bell in time.
The young nurse hurried over with medicine.
After the medicine was finished, the young nurse said worriedly, "All the medicine the head nurse brought has been used up. The next time Miss Lin gets sick, there will be no medicine." She asked with some confusion, "Doctor Bai clearly said that Miss Lin was recovering well. How could she have had two attacks in such a short time?"
Dr. Bai is the best doctor in this field, so he shouldn't be wrong.
The young nurse looked puzzled, but she was just a nurse, and the medicines she was using now were all prescribed by the previous attending physician. If something else happened, there would be nothing she could do.
Lin Baozhu smiled weakly. "It's okay. You've already helped me a lot. Even if something really happened, it was just bad luck. I don't blame you. I'll leave a letter for my dad. If I can get out, I probably can't stay here anymore. You can go to the private hospital that our family invested in."
The nurse quickly said: "Miss Lin, you are such a good person, you will be fine, don't worry, I have saved a lot of happiness points just now, just in case..."
"I'll let you know if anything happens," Gu Nian said, taking over. "I think Miss Lin's happiness level is still 65 points. She should be able to hold on for a while. Everyone, be optimistic and don't worry too much. Maintaining a cheerful mood is more conducive to recovery and will not easily reduce your happiness level."
The young nurse nodded quickly: "Yes, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
Lin Baozhu paused, then nodded with a pale face. Then, she looked at the nurse sincerely, "Sister Xiaofang, please don't spend your happiness points on me. Although I helped you a little before, it's not worth mentioning. Without happiness points, you will be wiped out. You must be careful."
The young nurse's eyes were red, "Miss Kelin,"
Gu Nian: "Miss Lin is right. Even if not for yourself, you have to think about your father, mother, grandparents, brothers and sisters. If you are wiped out, how sad they will be."
The young nurse was very touched: "Thank you, Miss Lin, I understand!"
Gu Nian sighed: "Miss Lin is such a good person."
Lin Baozhu's chest heaved, but she finally managed a smile.
After the nurse left, Xie Han, who had been silent since entering the room, suddenly spoke up: "Miss Lin's sudden discomfort may be related to Fang Tong."
Everyone looked at him.
The young Taoist priest was surprised: "But Miss Fang Tong is already," dead.
But when he saw Fang Tong sitting quietly in the wheelchair, he asked doubtfully, "It's indeed a bit strange. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought Miss Fang Tong was just asleep."
Xie Han said, "The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul would be preserved in the heart after death. Therefore, when mummifying, the brain and other internal organs would be removed, but the heart would remain. Although polluting the core will bring spiritual pollution, it will also lead to evolution and may have other effects. There may be a connection between Fang Tong's body and her heart."
Several people were listening attentively with bated breath: ...Are you serious about what you said?
The little Taoist priest looked at him with an expression that said, "How come you are more superstitious than me?"
Gu Nian was about to speak, but paused before opening her mouth. Xie Han wasn't one to speak without purpose, nor would he spout off nonsense. He wasn't saying this to scare Lin Baozhu, was he? That wasn't the case. After the initial, sustained drop in her happiness, Lin Baozhu quickly recovered. It hadn't dropped in a long time, and Xie Han wouldn't have failed to notice.
So Xie Han said this to her? What did he want to remind her?
That being said, Fang Tong's condition had indeed been like this since she arrived at the Third Mental Hospital, as if she were asleep. She had always thought it was something like a contaminant, after all, she had originally appeared in the room unlocked by the key. But what if it wasn't?
What if Fang Tong is not a pollutant, what if it is... evolution?
Fang Tong's father was the core of the contamination and the caregiver who took care of her at the time. In other words, she was the person closest to the contamination core. Before being killed, she might have evolved superpowers. Superpowers vary in their abilities, and Fang Tong's superpowers may be the reason she maintains her current state.
Is Fang Tong really dead now?
At this time, Xie Han said again: "But Miss Lin, don't worry too much. After all, the heart is now in your body. After it slowly integrates, it should be fine."
Gu Nian frowned slightly. So, is there a time limit? Fang Tong is very likely not dead yet, but if her heart is not found for a long time, she may really die.
She glanced at Lin Baozhu.
Lin Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xie Han's next words, but shook her head and said, "I had just had an attack before you came. It probably had nothing to do with Fang Tong. Maybe I was too nervous about the pollution outbreak. I'm feeling much better now."
Gu Nian frowned. Lin Baozhu was very cautious. But if Xie Han's guess was right, then Fang Tong didn't have much time left.
Just as he was about to speak, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a man strode in. When he saw the number above the other person's head, Gu Nian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This person's happiness value is actually 235 points.
This was the highest happiness value Gu Nian had ever seen. However, this person looked thin and small, and didn't look like someone who could bully others. Instead, he looked more like someone who was being bullied.
The visitor was wearing a white coat. Seeing Lin Baozhu sitting well on the bed, he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Miss Lin, I'm so glad you're okay!"
He seemed a little excited and went up to hug Lin Baozhu tightly.
Gu Nian could see clearly from the opposite side that Lin Baozhu's expression was stiff for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself, and her voice was filled with just the right amount of surprise, "Doctor Bai, you're back."
Dr. Bai, is this the top doctor in the field of cardiac surgery that the nurse mentioned?
The two hugged each other for a long time before separating. Doctor Bai seemed to have just noticed Gu Nian and the others and asked Lin Baozhu in confusion, "Who are these people?"
Lin Baozhu's eyes instantly turned red. "My father did something wrong because of me. My heart was not donated voluntarily by someone else." She repeated Gu Nian's previous words verbatim.
Doctor Bai's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "Do they really mean what they say? I think they just think you're a little girl who's easy to bully! You're so soft-hearted that you're waiting for someone else to die while they're still alive. People like you deserve to be beaten up and kicked out!"
Lin Baozhu advised: "Don't say that..."
Doctor Bai consoled her again, then turned around and protected Lin Baozhu behind him. He turned to Gu Nian with a cold face and said, "Don't say that what you said may not be true. Even if it is true, the operation has been done. No matter what, the heart belongs to Miss Lin. Please leave immediately!"
Gu Nian thought for a moment and said, "What if we don't leave?"
Doctor Bai: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
Gu Nian glanced behind Dr. Bai, shook his head imperceptibly, then pushed Fang Tong to the side of the little Taoist priest and stood in front of him as still as a mountain.
She looked at Dr. Bai.
Doctor Bai glared at her.
After a while, Gu Nian frowned: "Why don't you do it?"
