Pei Sui was stunned and frowned again.
last night?
Medical Department?
Fu Chen glared at his murky expression, "Lawyer Pei doesn't know? Last night, when she and I were going downstairs, the elevator suddenly lost gravity and fell down. Luckily, nothing serious happened.
I saw she was pretty scared, so after she came out, I even gave her a cup of coffee to calm her nerves. "I had a lot of things to do yesterday, and I had two major surgeries today, so I didn't have time to message or call her."
Falling in weightlessness?
Fu Chen is still with her?
Pei Sui's heart felt so tight that even his breathing seemed to stop.
Facing Fu Chen's gentle yet dark eyes, he pursed his lips and inexplicably felt a hint of provocation.
His voice dropped coldly, "She was fine last night."
Fu Chen smiled frankly, as if relieved, "I'm glad Shengsheng is okay. I was worried that what happened last night scared her. It would be bad if she had a nightmare."
Pei Sui's expression was still cold, but in his clear and solemn eyes, there was a hint of calmness and contempt and ridicule.
"Professor Lao Fu is concerned about my girlfriend. I will convey this to her."
The four words "my girlfriend" sounded a bit harsh to Fu Chen's ears, perhaps because he had emphasized them on purpose.
He curled the corners of his lips calmly, and the air around them seemed to be frozen.
Finally, the deadlock was broken by a phone call.
Fu Chen took out his phone and answered, "Report blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation... Intubate, give me adrenaline... I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Pei Sui with a serious face, "Sorry, Lawyer Pei, I have to excuse myself for a moment. There's a patient in acute shock in the emergency room."
"It's okay, Professor Fu, just go and do your work." Pei Sui said lightly.
After watching Fu Chen leave in a hurry, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the sunset covering the entire sky in the distance with an unclear expression.
The night wind took away the coolness and brought up a bit of unknown heat.
Meng Sheng came down much earlier than he expected, and including the time she spent upstairs, it was only more than half an hour.
About forty minutes.
He was a little surprised, "Why did you come down so quickly?"
If he remembered correctly, Meng Chengli's dinner time was usually between 6:30 and 7:00. He thought that it would take at least two hours for him to come down after he went up.
Meng Sheng stepped forward, took his arm, and said with a smile, "I was afraid you'd have to wait a long time, so I came down early."
"It doesn't matter."
Pei Sui felt a barely perceptible warmth slowly flowing into his usually cold and ruthless heart.
He held Meng Sheng's hand and said, "Didn't you say you haven't seen Qiu Yi for a long time? You should stay and have dinner with her. I'll wait no matter how long it takes."
Meng Sheng chuckled, "It's okay. Sister Qiuyi and I have an appointment. She's going back to France the day after tomorrow, so we'll go shopping together tomorrow afternoon and have barbecue together in the evening. She'll come back to see my dad in two months at the latest.
My father's health is recovering fairly well now, and all his indicators are gradually improving. The doctor said that as long as he remains physically and mentally happy and actively cooperates with the medical staff, he will be fine."
As she spoke, she pulled Pei Sui out of the first-floor lobby of the inpatient department and headed towards the parking lot.
"What are we having for dinner?" After getting in the car, she fastened her seat belt, her clear and beautiful voice ending in a lazy and relaxed tone.
"What do you want to eat?" Pei Sui asked.
"I suddenly feel like eating hot pot."
"Eat out, or buy ingredients and take them home?"
"Let's eat out. Not only will it be troublesome to buy the ingredients, but the house will be filled with the smell of hot pot that won't go away all night."
She took out her phone from her bag and said, "Let me search for a good hot pot restaurant."
Pei Sui didn't rush to start the car. He put one hand on the steering wheel, tapping it with his slender fingers, and waited quietly for her to check the hot pot restaurant.
After deciding which hot pot restaurant to go to, Pei Sui entered the navigation address.
Then he asked, "Just now, when I was waiting for you in the lobby, I ran into Professor Fu. He said that when you were going downstairs last night, the elevator suddenly lost control and went down. Are you hurt anywhere? Why didn't you tell me?"
Meng Sheng was stunned and a little surprised.
Suddenly she remembered that Fu Chen had sent her a WeChat message around 6:30 this morning.
Ask her how she is, whether she slept well last night, and whether she had any nightmares or anything like that.
She saw the message after she arrived at the art museum, but Joanna happened to knock on the office door at that time. After talking to her, the matter of replying to the message was put on hold.
I had another day of meetings afterwards and didn’t think about the text message at all.
A flash of realization crossed her face, and then she looked at him and smiled, "No, it was a little scary last night, but nothing happened. The elevator stopped on the first floor.
Maintenance personnel and firefighters arrived shortly afterward, and I was only inside for about ten minutes. After I came out, my legs were just a little weak, so I sat in the hospital to rest for a while.
Don't worry, I'm fine now, nothing happened."
Pei Sui glared at her. The discomfort he had just felt when facing Fu Chen turned into an indescribable guilt.
He drank too much last night, his head was dizzy and his eyes were a little blurry. He only knew that she came back and hugged her, but he didn't see her expression clearly at the time, nor could he capture those subtle changes as usual.
Afterwards, he took a shower and went to bed. He still remembered drinking the honey lemon water brewed by Meng Sheng.
When she encountered such a dangerous situation, he was not around and he drank too much at a social event.
I think, even if she wanted to say it last night, she couldn't say it because of his condition.
In the past social gatherings, he actually rarely drank alcohol, at most just for the sake of courtesy.
But just yesterday, when she got drunk, which was rare in a year, she suffered...
"Sorry...it's my fault. I drank too much last night..." He pressed his thin lips into a straight line, his voice a little deep and a little hoarse.
Even his beautiful almond-shaped eyes were drooping at this moment. At first glance, he looked like a big dog caught in the rain, looking lost and pitiful.
Meng Sheng's heart trembled at this inexplicable feeling.
After a while, she couldn't help laughing, unbuckled her seat belt, reached out to hold his face, and lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Come on, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault, and you couldn't have predicted that would happen. I don't blame you."
Pei Sui's Adam's apple moved, and he reached out and held her in his arms, as if he took a breath, and then seemed to exhale.
I said very seriously, "From now on, no matter what happens, I want to hear it from you in person, not from others."
Meng Sheng patted his back gently as if to comfort him, and with his other hand he gently touched his earlobe.
She smiled faintly and replied, "Okay. I wanted to tell you this when I received the condolence and apology call from the hospital's medical department this morning, but then I got sidetracked by the Yuelan Mansion auction contract.
Okay, don't think about it anymore, let's go eat first, I'm hungry, it's dinner time now, the later we go, the longer we'll have to wait in line."
The guilt and discomfort flowing in his heart were swept away by a feather because of her comfort, and disappeared so easily.
He hummed, lowered her hand, touched the back of her hand with his lips, then held her hand tightly in his palm and started the car with one hand.
