The spring sunshine lazily spreads on the glass windows, refracting a few patches of mottled gold into the house.
From Ward 3088 on the 17th floor, bursts of clear and mellow laughter from children could be heard.
Meng Chengli also had a smile on his face. He raised his hand and pinched Miaomiao's face. "You are such a smart little girl. I just told you a story and you can draw inferences from it."
A smile spread across Miaomiao's little face, "Grandpa Meng praised me well."
Meng Sheng was standing beside them, watching the old man and the young boy and laughing.
After Miaomiao woke up from her nap, she stayed in their ward. With Miaomiao's company, Meng Chengli seemed to be in better spirits.
It’s not so easy to say you’re sleepy and need a rest.
Miaomiao also brought her puzzle over. Although Meng Chengli couldn't help with it, he was able to give them some advice.
Qiuyi went back at around four in the afternoon and didn't come back again until seven in the evening.
She brought the meals that she had specially asked the nanny to prepare.
At that time, Miaomiao was taken back to the next ward by the nanny who was taking care of her.
Around 8:30 in the evening, Meng Chengli had finished his medicine and gone to sleep. Meng Sheng gave a few instructions to the nurse, then he and Qiu Yi tiptoed out of the room and went to the outer hall.
Just as I made up the two medical beds, the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly dinged.
It's the text message alert tone.
Meng Sheng paused and picked up his phone to read the text message.
[Danger! Fu Xuanmiao has an asthma attack due to ingesting allergic food. Go save her! Someone deliberately tampered with the food she ate.]
Asthma attack?!
Tampering with the food?!
Seeing these two key words, Meng Sheng's pupils shrank and his heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.
She didn't have time to think or feel any more panic or clues. Almost immediately after reading the line of words, she quickly stood up and rushed to the door.
Even when Qiu Yi called her from behind, she didn't bother to respond.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw a middle-aged woman outside the door of the next ward, carrying a fruit basket and a box of milk, shouting loudly for the doctor and nurse with an anxious look on her face.
But it was not the nanny who usually took care of Fu Xuanmiao.
But Meng Sheng happened to know her.
She had seen this woman once when she last went to visit Gu Ci.
She just frowned and didn't care to investigate further when a familiar female voice came out, "Little boy, little boy, the doctor will be here soon, don't be afraid."
Meng Sheng's heart sank.
It was indeed Gu Ci.
She quickly calmed down and ran into the room, just in time to see Gu Ci sitting on the ground, holding Miaomiao's tiny body.
While comforting her, he shouted outside, "Auntie Cao, why is the doctor here again?"
Miaomiao in her arms was gasping for breath, her face pale, tears in her round eyes, and she was still calling "Dad" unclearly.
She turned her head and saw Meng Sheng at the door. She was stunned for a moment, "Director Meng?"
Meng Sheng ignored her shock, ran over, pressed the emergency button on the bedside twice, and then took Miaomiao from Gu Ci's arms.
"Miaomiao, Miaomiao..."
"Ah...Auntie...Miao...Miao Nan..."
Miaomiao saw that she could no longer hold back her tears and clutched her clothes tightly.
Before she finished saying "I feel uncomfortable", the doctor and the nurse came in together, quickly took Miaomiao, put her on the bed, and started first aid.
One of the nurses said to them solemnly, "Please go out and wait first."
Meng Sheng was a little worried, but he still listened to the nurse and walked out of the ward.
Gu Ci also stood up and followed a few steps. When she reached the door, her white hand suddenly held the door frame. With the other hand, she stroked her chest, bent over and coughed hard, "Cough cough cough..."
When Meng Sheng heard the cough, he was stunned for a moment. His thoughts on Miaomiao returned a little and he looked at Gu Ci, whose face was as pale as paper.
Her brows furrowed a little and just as she was about to reach out to help her, the nanny who had been outside calling for a doctor rushed over to help her.
The fruit basket and milk were also thrown on the ground.
With a worried look on his face, he said, "Miss San, are you okay? I'll call a doctor..."
"No, don't call a doctor. It's not good to mobilize so many people. When Mom finds out, it will implicate you."
Gu Ci tried to stop her, waved her hand vigorously, and took a deep breath, "Aunt Cao, don't be nervous, I just breathed too quickly.
I was a little nervous when I saw the child's condition, but now he is fine."
Aunt Cao knew the mistress' temper well, and now seeing that the Third Miss was so considerate of her, she couldn't help but feel touched.
"Miss San, you should focus on your own health. Madam usually looks stern only because she is too worried about you."
Gu Ci gave her a comforting smile, "Yeah, I know."
Meng Sheng frowned slightly, looking at Gu Ci's face which was pale but gentle and tough, like a white plum tree that was unwilling to point out in the wind and snow. There was a bit of scrutiny and confusion in his calm eyes.
She interrupted their "master and servant" relationship at the right time and asked, "Isn't Miss Gu's ward on the 16th floor? Why are you suddenly on the 17th floor?"
There was no trace of questioning or sharpness in the soft voice.
There was only a hint of obvious doubt.
Hearing this, Gu Ci looked up at her, and with the help of the nanny, she slowly straightened up, without changing the smile on her face at all.
After Haohao calmed down and her breathing became stable, she said softly, "This morning, Asui and my parents came to see me. I was a little surprised to hear that you were also in the hospital. I asked a few more questions and found out that your father was also in the hospital.
Let’s not talk about the fact that we are friends. Just because Director Meng sent me to the hospital last time and came to see me again later, it is reasonable for me to come up and visit your father. This is a matter of etiquette.”
She sighed and tightened her hand slightly on her chest.
The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by melancholy and helplessness.
"It's just that my health wasn't good enough. I had some problems this afternoon and couldn't breathe well. I didn't want to affect your father, so I didn't come up.
But considering that I have a lot of treatments every morning, after thinking it over again and again, I can only come up at this time. "
As she spoke, she glanced at the ward, and the worry on her face intensified. "When Cao Ma and I passed by this ward, we heard a child crying inside.
Seeing that the door was open, I was afraid something might have happened, so I hurried in to take a look, but to my surprise…”
Meng Sheng frowned slightly as he listened to her heartfelt words.
Could it be a coincidence?
But could such a coincidence really happen?
It's past half past eight now.
It sounds a bit far-fetched for Gu Ci to give a gift at this time, but the answer she gave was impeccable.
Meng Sheng felt a little doubtful and glanced at the fruit basket and a box of milk for the elderly on the ground without showing any emotion.
There really seems to be no clue.
Since Gu Ci said that she came to visit her father, she naturally couldn't just give him face.
She stepped forward and gave Gu Ci a helping hand. "Since you are not feeling well, you should take good care of yourself. You can just send me a message or ask the nanny to come up. Why do you have to come here in person?"
She looked worried. "How are you now? Do you really not need to call a doctor?"
