She planned to call out to let people know she was awake. Given that Zhao Nian had been in danger of being killed because she claimed to be Zhao Nian when she woke up, Chu Nian decided to simply pretend to have amnesia and not remember anyone. This way, even Zhao Zhen, who had caused the car accident, might temporarily lower her guard against her.
Thinking of Zhao Zhen, Chu Nian heard two women talking in the corridor of the inpatient department. One of the voices sounded a bit older, around forty years old. Chu Nian didn't recognize the voice and it probably wasn't someone the two original owners knew, but from the content of their conversation, she could tell that the other person was probably a medical worker at the hospital.
The other one looked rather young, and Chu Nian recognized him as Zhao Zhen as soon as she heard his name.
Female medical worker: "Ms. Zhao, you've come to see your sister again!"
Zhao Zhen replied sweetly, "Yes!"
Female medical worker: "You come every day; you're so good to your sister."
Zhao Zhen: "I only have one younger sister! By the way, how is she today? Is she showing any signs of waking up?"
The female medical worker said, "She's still the same as yesterday. I think..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Well, you don't need to worry too much. You never know. Judging from her condition, if we continue treatment, she might wake up."
Zhao Zhen: "Mmm." Her voice was choked with emotion.
Chu Nian chuckled: This Zhao Zhen is quite the smooth talker! Who would have thought that Zhao Zhen, who seemed to be so kind to her sister on the surface, was the real culprit behind the car accident?
The driver who was taken away by the police was just a scapegoat.
Zhao Zhen had already pushed open the door and entered the ward.
Although the Zhao family is not a wealthy family, fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are capable and hardworking, and they own their own company. They are much better off financially than ordinary families, so they arranged a private ward for Zhao Zhu.
There were no other patients in the ward besides Zhao Zhu, and the soundproofing and privacy were much better than in a regular ward. Zhao's father also hired a caregiver, but only a part-time one, who would come every night to bathe Zhao Zhu and so on.
It's around 8 PM now, and the caregiver won't arrive for about an hour. Because the hospital is close to the school, Zhao Zhen visits Zhao Zhu every day after her first evening self-study session before heading back to school for her second.
Because his superpowers were not completely suppressed, Chu Nian's various sensory abilities were far stronger than those of ordinary people under the stimulation of his superpowers.
As soon as Zhao Zhen entered, she felt a sinister aura surrounding her, which made her feel that Zhao Zhen had come with ill intentions.
Therefore, Chu Nian decided to continue being a vegetable for the time being. On the one hand, her movements were still very limited; on the other hand, she wanted to see what Zhao Zhenlai was up to.
She didn't believe that Zhao Zhen was genuinely visiting Zhao Zhu out of simple kindness.
Zhao Zhen closed the door tightly and even drew the curtain beside the bed when she got to the bedside. Although the striped glass of the ward's doors and windows allowed some light to pass through, making it possible to vaguely see the patient's condition when you got close, once the curtain was drawn, you couldn't see anything outside.
Seeing her posture, Chu Nian became even more convinced of her guess.
Zhao Zhen leaned close to Chu Nian's face and stared at her for a while. Probably not finding any signs that she was waking up, she spoke in a low voice, "Do you know that Grandpa and Grandma scolded Mom and Dad again today? The way you are makes the old folks very worried!"
As she spoke, she took a deep breath and suddenly raised her hand to slap Chu Nian across the face.
Chu Nian, pretending to remain in a vegetative state: ...Damn it!
Zhao Zhen: "It's all because of you that they haven't been able to give me all their love and care since I was little! It's all because of you that they're neglecting me now, and they're not even happy when I got first place in the whole school!"
"If it weren't for you, how much better it would be? Without you, their love and everything they have now would belong to me alone. Why won't you die? Why won't you die even in this state?"
The more she spoke, the more resentful she became, and the more she gritted her teeth. She raised her hand and slapped Chu Nian across the face again.
Chu Nian was very suspicious. If she weren't afraid of leaving scars on her face and causing trouble if the hospital staff noticed, she probably would have kept slapping herself.
She also suspected that this wasn't the first time Zhao Zhen had beaten her during the time she was unconscious in this physical body.
She felt that Zhao Zhen was quite adept at slapping people.
After Zhao Zhen finished beating the person, her resentment seemed to have dissipated somewhat. She pulled back the curtain and turned to leave.
Suddenly, she felt a loud thud on the right side of her head, as if something had struck her hard, causing her to scream in pain and fall to the ground.
Her head was throbbing with pain, and her vision was blurring intermittently.
Her first thought was that the person behind her had gotten up and hit her, so she quickly turned around to look at the hospital bed, only to see that the person on the bed was still lying there with their eyes closed, without any reaction.
Could it be that Zhao Zhu hit her just now? But there's no one else in the room besides Zhao Zhu!
Chu Nian sensed through her supernatural abilities that Zhao Zhen was turning her head again, looking puzzled, as if she was about to leave. She sat up again, raised her left hand, and slapped the left side of Zhao Zhen's head before quickly lying back down.
Zhao Zhen had actually turned her head away on purpose to test whether the person on the bed would react, so she planned to turn back as soon as possible after turning her head away, but she was not as fast as Chu Nian.
To be honest, Chu Nian was really annoyed by this little girl.
Having traversed several worlds, she has always been the one to attack others; she has never been attacked herself. So, she mustered all her strength and used her superpower to open up all the meridians in her upper body, completely restoring her mobility. Moreover, under the influence of her superpower, her movements were much faster than Zhao Zhen's.
So, before Zhao Zhen could even turn around, she was hit again, and with another scream, she collapsed to the ground.
This time, someone in the hallway finally heard the shouts coming from the ward and notified the nurses' station. A nurse rushed over.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen had already gotten up from the ground. When she saw the nurse coming, she quickly said, "I... I just felt someone playing a prank on me and hitting me. Is it my sister who has woken up? Please help me take a look."
The nurse only did a quick check and found nothing, then said, "I'll go get the doctor." They weren't experts in this area; the doctor was the one truly responsible for it.
Soon, Zhao Zhu's attending physician arrived, followed by a nurse with testing equipment. After a series of examinations, the doctor shook his head at Zhao Zhu and said, "Her body showed no reaction to any of the tests; she will likely need some more time to wake up."
This is a euphemism; to put it bluntly, a body that shows no reaction to any tests simply cannot wake up. Even if it does, it will take a very long time.
Zhao Zhen said urgently, "That's impossible, someone really did hit me just now."
The doctor smiled helplessly and said, "Little girl, even if she wakes up, she will need a period of rehabilitation training before she can raise her hand to hit someone."
