"You want to ask about something related to Xiaoyou, right?"
Qin Chuan saw through Lin Zhenzhen's thoughts.
"Don't worry, she's not Huo Yeshuo's illegitimate daughter. Xiaoyou is almost an adult, but she's not in good health and doesn't look like she's grown much; she still looks like a child."
As Qin Chuan was talking, he suddenly realized that Lin Zhenzhen probably had never met Xiao You and did not know what she looked like.
"That's not what I wanted to ask. I wanted to ask about her illness." Lin Zhenzhen paused. "Is she very ill?"
Even Lin Zhenzhen herself felt that asking this question was unnecessary.
Her thin, bony arms, her pale skin that clearly hadn't been exposed to sunlight in a long time, and the numerous needle marks on her hands all testify to the arduous struggle this girl has endured against her illness.
Qin Chuan remained silent for two seconds, then let out a deep sigh.
"It's a serious disease, the kind that could kill you at any moment."
"She's only hanging on by her own two feet with expensive medications and chemotherapy, which is like having one foot already in the grave. For her, life is truly like opening a blind box; if she's not careful, the other foot will fall in as well."
"I escaped by luck the last few times, but this time, it's really going to be tough."
Seeing that Lin Zhenzhen's expression was becoming more and more serious, Qin Chuan put on his usual carefree attitude and said with a grin.
"Don't worry, Huo Yeshuo has signed that critical illness notice countless times, he was already mentally prepared."
"You should rest well first. I've already told them that no one will be here at noon. The bed in the corner is mine; the sheets and duvet cover have just been changed and they smell wonderful. I still have to make my rounds, so we can talk again later."
"good."
The room was quiet, and with the curtains drawn, it was almost pitch black.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up, my head was a complete mess, accompanied by a sharp pain, as if my brain had been slashed by a razor blade and something had been taken away.
What could possibly be in the brain? Could it be one's own memories?
This absurd thought vanished in an instant. Lin Zhenzhen struggled to glance at her phone; it was 3:30 PM.
She actually slept like a dead pig for a full four hours in a completely unfamiliar environment.
This is really abnormal.
However, Lin Zhenzhen didn't have time to think about that now.
As she rolled out of bed, she sent a message to Huo Yeshuo.
[What's the situation now?]
No reply.
Would you like to come and rest for a bit?
There has still been no reply.
Lin Zhenzhen had already rushed to the operating room door. The sign had turned from red to green, indicating that there were no patients undergoing surgery inside.
Lin Zhenzhen could only reach out and stop the passing nurses.
"Hello, where is the patient who just had surgery here?"
"You mean Tang You? She's been transferred to the ICU, she's upstairs."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Zhenzhen went upstairs without stopping and saw Huo Yeshuo sitting at the end of the corridor.
His back was hunched low, his elbows resting on his knees, and his eyes were fixed on the ground, lost in thought. Even when she approached, he didn't react at all.
Lin Zhenzhen squatted down and gently took Huo Yeshuo's hand.
He slowly raised his head, his face was normal, except for his slightly pale lips, there was nothing unusual about him.
Lin Zhenzhen's voice was gentle: "Huo Yeshuo, take a rest. Let's go eat together first, okay?"
Huo Yeshuo had indeed not eaten for more than ten hours. The familiar burning sensation came on fiercely, as if it were going to tear a hole in his stomach.
Huo Yeshu shook his head at her: "Xiaoyou may wake up at any time, so someone needs to stay here."
"Then I'll stay here, you go eat first." Lin Zhenzhen squeezed his palm and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll call you if anything happens."
Huo Yeshuo opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, Lin Zhenzhen grabbed his shoulder.
"I'll be with you, don't be afraid."
Huo Yeshuo's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he stared at the soft earlobe beside his eyes and answered softly, "Okay."
-
Lin Zhenzhen stood outside the ward door, looking inside through a small, transparent glass window.
The girl lay on the hospital bed. She was so thin that the blanket covering her didn't move at all, like an empty skeleton, lifeless, being completely swallowed by the white sheets.
She wasn't wearing the woolen hat she wore when they first met, revealing her smooth, pale blue forehead.
Besides her, there were many other medical staff in the ward, all staring at the electronic instruments in front of them with solemn expressions.
Lin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and then awakened the system that had been dormant in her sea of consciousness.
Is there anything I can do for her?
Perhaps, a sincere prayer?
Lin Zhenzhen opened the store interface, filtered by value from high to low, and quickly browsed the information displayed on the shelves.
The system couldn't help but interrupt.
[…Host, look at the zeros below, then look at your wallet balance on the right. Is there any need to continue looking?]
[Furthermore, the goods in the store are all for the host's personal use. Even if there are exceptions, they are...]
The system suddenly realized it had almost let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up.
In short, Lu Yangyun and He Xiaoxiao's romantic storyline is almost complete. Now we can just focus on getting ready to move on to the next small world. We don't need to worry about anything else.
Lin Zhenzhen slowly turned her eyes, about to speak, when a commotion suddenly broke out in the ward.
The door opened, and the young doctor rushed out: "Where are the patient's family members?"
