"It's okay. I certainly won't joke about my body."
Gu Ci smiled at her gently, and then asked as if she remembered something, "Director Meng, do you know the girl in this ward? I just seemed to...hear you call her "Miao Miao"."
Meng Sheng looked at her and nodded naturally, but did not explain too much.
Gu Ci showed worry on her face, and her soft voice was filled with hope, "I just don't know...what's going on in there. I hope the little girl is safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yi came out from the next ward. He was a little surprised to see Gu Ci. Then the two greeted each other, and then he walked up to Meng Sheng and asked her what happened.
Meng Sheng had just answered when the nanny who was taking care of Miaomiao came back with a kettle.
Seeing people gathered at the door, she was startled and hurried forward, "Miss Meng..."
Just as she spoke, before she finished her sentence, she heard some noise inside.
The kettle in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he subconsciously wanted to rush in, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao, what's wrong? Miaomiao..."
Meng Sheng quickly grabbed her and said, "The doctor is already inside. If you go over now, you can't help at all."
The nanny thought what he said made sense and hesitated for two seconds before not going in again. However, she was still a little anxious and worried.
Meng Sheng picked up the kettle on the ground and handed it to her, asking in confusion, "Sister He, where did you go just now?"
Miaomiao is too young and has asthma, so she needs someone to be around her most of the time.
Only because Miaomiao is in the next ward this afternoon can Sister He relax a little for a few days.
Sister He replied with a worried look on her face, "The water purifier in the room is broken, and Miaomiao needs to make a cup of milk powder at 9:30 in the evening.
So, I thought I would borrow a kettle from the nurse while Miaomiao was asleep, and then ask someone to replace the water purifier tomorrow morning."
Water purifier failure?
Meng Sheng paused, his brows furrowed.
I don’t know if it’s because the intrigue between her and Yu Qionghua and Shang Boyu was too intense, but she is really sensitive now.
Especially for things that don't make sense.
But she didn't show it on her face and just glanced at Gu Ci inconspicuously.
Could it be her?
But...if it was really her, what was her purpose in doing this?
Logically speaking, the only interaction between Gu Ci and Fu Chen was the rescue in the emergency room, and he was not even the attending physician.
There was no reason for her to attack Fu Chen's daughter Fu Xuanmiao.
What's more, she saved Miaomiao's life in disguise tonight.
Meng Sheng couldn't figure it out. She seemed to be getting more and more confused about Gu Ci.
More than half an hour later, the doctor came out with two nurses. Sister He immediately went to greet them, "Doctor Peng, how is Miaomiao? Is she okay?"
The doctor shook his head, and his expression naturally relaxed a little.
"We found her in time, and she's not in danger of death now, but Miaomiao is having trouble breathing, so she can only rely on oxygen temporarily. No one can leave her alone tonight, call us if anything happens."
Sister He responded repeatedly, "Hey, hey, I... I understand. I will definitely stay by Miaomiao's side from now on. Thank you for your hard work."
After the doctor left, Sister He hurried in to see Miaomiao.
After Meng Sheng knew that she was not in danger, heaved a sigh of relief and followed Sister He in.
Miaomiao was breathing oxygen at this time and was in a conscious state. When she saw Sister He and Meng Sheng, she blinked her eyes slightly and began to cry. She wanted to call them, but she couldn't speak.
Sister He’s heart aches.
Although she didn't take care of Miaomiao for a long time, Miaomiao was young, sensible and well-behaved. How could she not feel soft-hearted and caring for her?
From the first time they met, Meng Sheng developed a bit of pity for Miaomiao. She comforted Miaomiao with a few words, and then she and Sister He coaxed her to sleep.
About half an hour later, she walked out of the ward, but unexpectedly found Gu Ci and the nanny who was taking care of her were still waiting outside.
The nanny saw her first and gently pushed Gu Ci.
Gu Ci was stunned, got up from the cushioned bench, and walked over to him, "Director Meng, is the kid okay now?"
"He's already asleep." Meng Sheng's face was filled with surprise, mixed with a hint of self-blame, "It's my fault that I was too anxious just now. I didn't tell Miss Gu, leaving you waiting here. You weren't in good health..."
Gu Ci shook her head, feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed, "I was worried. I haven't delivered the gift yet, and I haven't visited your father yet. This is really..."
Meng Sheng smiled lightly, "Miss Gu, I appreciate your kindness on behalf of my father. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will definitely tell him that you came to see him and thank you for your hard work tonight.
Thank you for Miaomiao's matter, and I will explain it to Professor Fu when he comes down from the operating table."
Gu Ci smiled weakly, "Why should I thank you for this? It's just a small favor. I think anyone passing by who hears a child crying inside will go in to check the situation.
I'm also thankful that my shabby body isn't a burden, otherwise... ah."
There were sighs and self-mockery in these words.
But there was no discomfort at all.
There's not even a hint of hypocrisy in it.
It was already past nine o'clock and the lights in the corridor had dimmed. There was a faint light in Meng Sheng's eyes, which fell on Gu Ci's face, which was pale but extremely pretty.
She was not afraid that Gu Ci would frame her, but was afraid that she would not take any action.
But no matter whether it was the last time when Gu Ci fainted and was hospitalized while having dinner together, or this time when Fu Xuanmiao fell ill, she seemed to be on the edge of calculation, always one step away.
Let her guess her intentions.
I can't guess whether it is a coincidence or an accident.
But to be honest, Ning Weiwei's obvious viciousness is nothing compared to Gu Ci.
The two are not at the same level at all.
However, the words about showing weakness through physical means seemed familiar to her.
This didn't seem to be the first time Gu Ci had said something like this.
After listening to her so much, it becomes a bit... tea-like.
Therefore, Meng Sheng could be even more certain that Gu Ci, this sickly woman, was not a good person.
Ever since the text message reminded her to be careful of Gu Ci, she had already put Gu Ci in a hostile position.
But now that there is no falling out, the play must still be performed.
She reached out and held Gu Ci's hand, "What you said is unreasonable. If Professor Fu and Miaomiao heard it, they would blame themselves for getting you into trouble.
Just take good care of yourself, your health is more important than anything else. I will also accept the fruit basket and milk on behalf of my father. Thank you."
Gu Ci smiled and said, "It's a small gift, I hope Director Meng won't mind it."
Meng Sheng said a few more polite words to her and then watched her and the nanny leave the 17th floor.
The corridor, which was originally filled with conversation, suddenly fell silent.
At around 2:30 in the morning, Fu Chen came out of the operating room, his handsome and calm face full of fatigue.
Both of these major operations today were extremely exhausting.
Once all the strength in my body is released, I feel a little weak.
He spoke a few words to the nurse in the operating room, then relaxed in the dressing room. He then changed out of his surgical gown neatly, went to the dormitory to take a shower, and without even taking time to rest or eat, he quickly went to the inpatient building.
He felt a little uneasy without seeing Miaomiao.
