Meng Sheng glanced at the time and answered casually, "About half an hour later, after my dad finishes his evening medicine."
Fu Chen nodded, "Okay, then you stay with Uncle Meng. I'll take Miaomiao away. Miaomiao, let's go. Grandpa Meng needs to rest. You should go back and take a shower. Isn't it time to wash your hair today?"
Miaomiao's pout dropped instantly. "Okay. Grandpa Meng, I'll go back first. You should have a good rest. Miaomiao, come back tomorrow to listen to stories."
Meng Chengli patted her head lovingly, "Okay, you should get a good rest tonight, otherwise you won't have the energy to listen to stories tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know."
After Miaomiao agreed, she went to see Meng Sheng again and reached out to pull her hand, "Aunt Meng, I'm going back. Remember to come and see me next time."
Meng Sheng smiled and agreed, "Okay."
After Fu Chen and his daughter left, she stayed with Meng Chengli for about another 40 minutes.
Seeing that Meng Chengli had drunk the medicine and had lost the remaining energy, it was obvious that he needed to rest. She said hello to the nurse, picked up her bag, and tiptoed out of the ward.
As I walked into the outer hall, my cell phone suddenly rang twice.
It was a WeChat message from Pei Sui.
When will you return?
Meng Sheng's fingers typed quickly: [Just about to leave, are you done with your socializing? ]
Pei Sui: [Almost done. Had a few drinks.]
She asked: [Did you drink a lot?]
Pei Sui: [Not much, just two or three cups.]
Meng Sheng just held the phone and chatted with him with his head down while walking towards the elevator.
The elevator took a little too long today, and Meng Sheng waited for almost two minutes but still didn't get on.
This elevator only goes to the 16th to 20th floors, and these five floors are the hospital's VIP high-end wards.
"Huh? The elevator hasn't come up yet?" A gentle and pleasant voice echoed in the quiet corridor.
Meng Sheng turned around and saw Fu Chen's handsome and calm face.
She nodded and naturally asked, "Well, are you going to work the night shift?"
"No, the shower head in the dormitory is broken. Let's go back and take a shower." Fu Chen stood beside her.
"Miaomiao is asleep?"
"No, I told her three new stories before she let me go."
Fu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "I'll go back and take a shower. I have to get some sleep. I won't be able to sleep in the second half of the night. A patient with a special condition has been sent from Jianan City. He will arrive around 2 o'clock. I have to operate on him as soon as he gets there."
Meng Sheng suddenly realized something, but didn't ask any more questions. Suddenly, the phone in his palm made a "ding" sound.
She was stunned for a moment and was about to open it to take a look when the elevator came up.
Fu Chen said, "Go in."
Meng Sheng paused slightly. Her phone was not protected by a privacy filter, and she was afraid that the text message from the mysterious number would be seen by Fu Chen.
She didn't want to deal with such troublesome things, so she held back, didn't look at her phone, nodded, and walked into the elevator.
Fu Chen also followed.
There were only two of them in the elevator, making it seem very empty.
When Fu Chen pressed the elevator floor button, Meng Sheng took two steps back, leaning against the elevator wall to keep some distance from him, before turning on the screen of his mobile phone and clicking on the text message to check.
[Don't take the elevator! It's dangerous! Elevators can slide downward due to brake system failure, brake wear, or improper lubrication!]
Meng Sheng was stunned and his pupils shrank again.
She looked up and saw the elevator door slowly closing, leaving only a fist's gap.
Her breathing stagnated, she put away her phone and pressed the door open button.
But it was too late, the door closed and the elevator started moving.
Fu Chen was also stunned by her sudden reaction and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I...I left something in the ward."
Meng Sheng pursed his lips, his expression was not very good at all. He made up an excuse to get by, and when the elevator reached 4 p.m., he pressed the door open button again.
But the elevator didn't respond.
She was stunned for a moment, then pressed the button a few more times, but the elevator number was still going down.
Fu Chen also noticed something was wrong. He frowned and stared at the simple row of numbers on the elevator. "What's going on?"
Logically speaking, this elevator should stop when it reaches the 16th floor.
But he didn't take the time to think, and calmly reached out and pressed the emergency bell at the top.
He tilted his head to comfort her and said, "Don't be afraid, there must be an elevator malfunction. I'll call someone to come and take a look."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Meng Sheng's lips were pursed into a straight line, and the fingers holding the shoulder strap of the bag were slightly white.
In this situation, she did not show any panic or fear, but was very calm.
Fu Chen hung up the phone and said to her, "The maintenance personnel will be here soon, and the firefighters have been called. Don't worry..."
The note of the word "heart" had just escaped from his lips, and before any sound was made, the elevator suddenly made two "dong dong" sounds.
Almost in an instant, the elevator began to fall at an extremely fast speed.
Meng Sheng's pupils trembled, his brain froze for two seconds, and his body reacted even faster. He subconsciously threw the bag aside, pressed his back against the elevator wall, and pressed his body down into a half-squatting position.
When Fu Chen learned of this change, his expression suddenly changed. He hurried over, put his hands on the elevator wall, and circled her in the middle.
He calmly comforted her, "Shengsheng, don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything will be fine."
Bang!
Before Meng Sheng could respond, the rapidly descending elevator suddenly stopped.
The numbers are displayed on the first floor.
The two of them still maintained that posture and did not dare to make any other unnecessary movements. They waited for more than a minute, and when they were sure that the elevator would not continue to slide down, they slowly straightened up.
Fu Chen looked down at her and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
