Chapter 8 Hospital
[Hey, where's Lone Wolf? Where did she go? That girl seems pretty capable; I'd like to have her read my fortune too!]
[The Lone Wolf looks a bit strange, kind of creepy, but I didn't expect him to actually be so capable. Let's stay tuned to the live stream and wait for the girl's test results tomorrow. The Lone Wolf might come back!] Another viewer's words were full of curiosity about what would happen next.
[Wow, waiting for someone else in Xuancheng Daoren's live stream? You guys are blatantly trying to steal him away! That's hilarious!]
【Uh, hehehe, Master Xuancheng, you don't mind, do you?】
Having worked in the live streaming industry for many years, Xuancheng Daoren has long since mastered the art of dealing with people in all situations.
Although he was furious, he still wore a smile, trying to appear magnanimous and composed.
He cleared his throat. "Debating scriptures is all about mutual learning. Your insightful views have been very inspiring! My conversation with that young friend was merely an exchange of professional knowledge; there was no right or wrong!"
They spoke in a high-sounding manner, attempting to save face.
"Furthermore, the matter of the infant spirit is related to the Peach Blossom Tribulation, except that the Peach Blossom Tribulation is the cause and the infant spirit is the effect!"
Master Xuancheng deliberately dragged out his words, keeping everyone in suspense, "If there is no infant spirit, how do you explain the baby scratch marks on Little Friend Almond Dew's wrist?"
He argued vehemently, trying to turn the tables on the issue.
Although Lu Yao's explanation won the approval of most viewers, Xuan Cheng Dao Ren's longtime fans still firmly believed in him.
These longtime fans, who had been silent until now, perked up upon hearing Xuancheng Daoren's words and began to speak in the comment section:
[Indeed, there must be a vengeful spirit of an aborted fetus! It's the result of a romantic entanglement! Looks like I still can't save money on almond milk, hahaha~]
[The Lone Wolf didn't explain this point just now, so I'm a little hesitant now... Let's wait for the almond milk test results!] Some viewers also began to waver, hesitating between the two viewpoints, hoping that the test results would provide an answer.
[This is a bit scary. In my opinion, Almond Dew had no choice but to abort the child. After all, her situation was truly helpless. Does she really deserve to be haunted and punished by the fetus...?]
...
The next day, the sun shone on the Fifth Mental Hospital as usual.
The hospital corridor was filled with a musty smell mixed with disinfectant.
Several nurses in white uniforms hurried through the corridor.
Occasionally, a few indistinct shouts would come from one of the wards, breaking the morning's tranquility, only to be quickly swallowed up by the oppressive atmosphere.
Last night's commotion didn't seem to bring much change to the mental hospital this morning, except that there were more topics of conversation in the infirmary.
Inside room 602, Lu Yao sat quietly by the bed, letting her attending physician examine her.
Her gaze fell on the nameplate pinned to the doctor's white coat.
Li Mei.
A 42-year-old middle-aged woman.
Li Mei's face bears the marks of time, and she has faint crow's feet when she smiles.
She was gentle in demeanor, spoke softly, and looked intently as she carefully examined Lu Yao's physical condition.
Lu Yao discerned Li Mei's past through her facial features.
Li Mei's family was poor when she was young, but the hardships of life did not defeat her; instead, they inspired her fighting spirit.
She studied diligently and, through her own efforts, was admitted to medical school.
After graduation, Li Mei followed the expected path of working, getting married, and having children.
However, the work at the hospital was too busy, and she gradually felt overwhelmed.
In order to have more time to take care of her family, she gave up her position as a neurologist and applied to be transferred to the Fifth Mental Hospital.
Li Mei's relationship with her husband gradually cooled, and they had long passed the seven-year itch, but her love for her daughter had not diminished in the slightest.
The daughter is about the same age as Lu Yao, and is in the prime of her youth at sixteen.
Lu Yao thought to herself that Li Mei was so gentle and patient with her, perhaps because she was thinking of her daughter.
Lu Yao seemed to be deep in thought. Should she remind Dr. Li Mei of something?
Li Mei devoted herself to her, and before Li Mei arrived, the original owner of this body was unable to express her gratitude due to her mental disability.
Now that she has arrived, she naturally wants to repay this kindness.
However, in everyone's eyes, she is still that patient with autism and intellectual disability.
Just by speaking, he can be quite astonishing, let alone telling fortunes and saying things like, "I can tell this calamity is coming from your face."
Lu Yao fell into deep thought.
Just then, the inspection ended.
Li Mei looked at the weather outside; the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
"Xiao Zheng, why don't you take the patient out for a walk?"
Li Mei always felt that Lu Yao was too pale and weak, which made her feel sorry for her.
Therefore, she often asked the nurses to take Lu Yao out to bask in the sun.
Lu Yao is quiet and non-aggressive; she is always well-behaved and obedient whenever we take her out.
Lu Yao was naturally happy to do so, because if she were always confined to the ward, she would not be able to gain a deeper understanding of this era.
Stepping out of the ward was her first step in exploring a new world.
Xiao Zheng is an intern nurse who works under Li Mei; she just graduated this year.
She was a cheerful young girl with a bright smile on her face and her eyes crinkled when she laughed.
Hearing Li Mei's instructions, Xiao Zheng happily agreed.
He turned around, found the wheelchair, and skillfully pulled Lu Yao over, gently pressing her down to sit.
Lu Yao obediently let Xiao Zheng do as he pleased.
As she stepped out of the hospital building, Lu Yao looked up at the boundless blue sky, where drifting clouds moved slowly, transforming into various wondrous shapes.
Bathed in sunlight, she couldn't help but sigh: It's so good to be alive.
Behind the Fifth Mental Hospital was a lawn garden, and Xiao Zheng pushed her under a big tree.
Under the shade of the trees, sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of golden light.
A gentle breeze wafted by, carrying the sweet fragrance of flowers and grass.
Lu Yao closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.
However, after enjoying a period of natural intimacy, Lu Yao suddenly noticed that she was being watched.
She slowly opened her eyes, searching her surroundings, trying to find the source of that gaze.
