Chapter 129 A Twisted Fate, What a Twisted Fate!
Seeing this, Xiao Hui gave a desperate, cold laugh. “I understand. You don’t need to say anything more.”
Looking at the emaciated Shao Yin Fan, Xiao Hui’s fingers trembled slightly. With just a little more force, she could snap his neck. She mustered her courage and tried several times. Finally, she released her grip. Covering Shao Yin Fan’s face in her hands, Xiao Hui kissed him tearfully, her form beginning to dissipate. “I still can’t bear to let you die. Since that’s the case, I’ll die.”
Shao Yin Fan’s pupils contracted as he watched Xiao Hui disappear, finally reacting. “Xiao Hui? Xiao Hui! Don’t go!”
Gu Ye picked up the skin from the ground, saying earnestly, “Her soul has dissipated. This is the skin your girlfriend used. Keep it as a souvenir.”
Shao Yin Fan’s hand trembled, as if burned by the touch of the skin. Xie Cheng looked at Shao Yin Fan with disdain. “She didn’t do anything wrong, and she truly loved you. Did you love her skin, or her inner self?”
Gu Ye silently added, “After all, you shared a bed. There’s still a bond between husband and wife. Xie Cheng, say less and save him some face.”
These words were undeniably scathing. Thinking of Xiao Hui’s ghostly appearance and the days they used to live together, Shao Yin Fan collapsed, clutching his head in despair. His body swayed, and finally, unable to bear the shock any longer, he fainted.
Just then, Shao Yin Fan’s parents finally arrived with the wheelchair. His mother, seeing her son unconscious, turned pale with fright. “Yin Fan, what happened to him?”
“He saw the female ghost’s true form and was terrified.”
“Is she gone?”
“Because she loved him, she left on her own.”
The elderly couple breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good she’s gone. What a tragic fate, truly a tragic fate.”
Gu Ye reminded them, “But his body is very weak; all his organs are damaged. He’ll need at least 6 months of rest.”
The news caused Mother Shao’s head to buzz with anxiety. “Get him to the hospital quickly!”
In her panic, Mother Shao’s body swayed unstably. She was terrified and frightened; even a mother’s spirit couldn’t handle it. Father Shao, supporting his wife and son, was at his wits’ end and looked to Gu Ye and Xie Cheng for help.
Seeing this, Gu Ye and Xie Cheng had no choice but to lend a hand, taking the unconscious girl and others to the hospital1.
…
By this time, it was already dark, and many doctors had gone home. Arriving at the hospital, one could only register at the emergency room. Just then, the nurse they had seen during the day passed by in the corridor. Shao Yin Fan’s mother anxiously said, “Nurse, could you please call a doctor? My son has fainted again.”
The nurse glanced at her impatiently. “I need to go give someone an IV. Didn’t he faint several times already? He won’t die. Go register first.”
The aunty asked anxiously, “Where do I register at the emergency room?”
The nurse replied expressionlessly, “There’s someone at the front desk. Ask around.”
With that, she walked away without looking back.2
“What…what do we do? Who do we call?”
Just then, another patient passed by and helped to call for other nurses to come, “You should quickly find a doctor. Don’t argue with her. This woman is the hospital director’s niece. She’s always acted superior to others since she came to intern. When she gets angry, she really swears at other people, regardless of the age of the patient3. My daughter-in-law really wanted to beat her up last time.”
A chubby nurse with freckles and not particularly pretty heard the commotion and ran over. She said to them, “Come with me quickly. I’ll lead the way. Go straight to the emergency room. We can register later. Saving lives is the priority!”
2 more nurses arrived, pushing 2 gurneys. They pushed the 2 unconscious people inside. A doctor, having received the call, had already run out to receive them. Next came the examinations and tests, the admission procedures, and contacting the girl’s family.
The nurse who was helping with the admission procedures said, “Oh dear, we don’t have enough beds, only 1 left.”
Shao Yin Fan’s mother said, “Give it to this girl. We didn’t cancel our son’s bed when we left, so it’s enough.”
“That’s perfect, it’ll be enough.”
The chubby nurse kept reassuring Shao Yin Fan’s mother, “Don’t worry, it’s alright, everything’s fine.” Reassured by this, Shao Yin Fan’s mother breathed a slight sigh of relief, and her complexion improved.
Xie Cheng remarked with emotion, “That’s a true angel.”
However, Gu Ye frowned. Watching the direction the mean nurse had gone, his expression growing increasingly grave.
Seeing Gu Ye’s expression, Xie Cheng asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Did you find something?”
Gu Ye said uncertainly, “Maybe… something’s going to happen soon.”
Xie Cheng was startled. “Holy crap, don’t scare me! Isn’t this chaotic enough already?”
…
At the same time, the mean nurse who was carrying medication approached the bedside of the elderly woman who was sharing the room with Shao Yin Fan. The old woman asked, “When can I be discharged?”
The nurse, her usual haughty demeanor gone, was unusually kind to the old woman. “Soon. Haven’t you been getting better these past few days? Rest for a couple more days, and the doctor will discharge you. We’re starting the IV now.”
The old woman lay down resignedly. “I’m so tired of lying down.”
But the nurse only glanced at her and smiled, saying nothing. A short while later, the old woman yawned sleepily and drifted off to sleep. Seeing this, the nurse quietly inserted the needle into the mattress and injected the remaining medication. She hadn’t used all of the old woman’s medication.
Immediately afterward, a young man entered the ward. He looked at the old lady and asked, “How’s my mom today?”
The nurse smiled and said, “Isn’t she doing well?”
The man happily put his arm around the nurse’s waist, “I’m at ease leaving her in your care.”
The nurse playfully punched the young man and said, “Don’t be silly, someone might see us.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m hugging my girlfriend, who can stop me? My mom’s a heavy sleeper; she can’t hear me.”
Just then, someone shouted, “Nurse? Where’s the nurse? My child’s needle’s stuck!”
The nurse glanced impatiently at the door, but didn’t answer. She asked softly of the young man, “How much longer will it take you to find that treasure?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know where she hid it.”
“Are you sure there is one?”
“My dad told my mom before he died that it was an heirloom, and it was worth tens of millions. I just don’t understand, where could she possibly hide it?”
The nurse patted the man’s chest. “Don’t worry, I’ll hold her off for you. You can search as long as you like.”
At this time, another man shouted, “Nurse! Where is the nurse?”
The little nurse immediately answered, “Here! Right away!”
Hearing that, the young man said a little jealously, “Why do you respond to this call so actively?”
The nurse rolled her eyes at him. “What’s with the jealousy? Someone gave me a shopping card, shouldn’t I take extra care of them?”
The man then smiled and said, “Okay, you go ahead, I’ll buy a pack of cigarettes.”
At this moment, Shao Yin Fan was pushed back to the ward. After examination, both he and the young woman were fine. The young woman also woke up and called her home to get her. She didn’t have much memory of that time and only knew that it was Gu Ye and Xie Cheng who rescued her. She asked them for their contact information, but they didn’t give it to her.
Gu Ye and Xie Cheng made an excuse and ran away to Shao Yin Fan’s parents’ side. Just then, they bumped into the mean nurse who was leaving. The nurse paused slightly when she saw them, unsure how much of their conversation they had overheard. In any case, she walked away haughtily, looking very unhappy.
Just then, the woman from earlier called out again, “Nurse, my child has a swelling on his hand. Can someone take a look?”
The nurse replied coldly, “Wait a minute, I’ll go see him when I’m done!”
But the chubby nurse following behind quickened her pace, “Let me see.”
After settling Shao Yin Fan in, who was still unconscious, his mother grabbed Gu Ye, refusing to let him leave. She anxiously asked, “Can we use a folk remedy to save him?”
Gu Ye was about to refuse when the nurse returned. It seemed nothing serious had happened.
Seeing that Gu Ye and his family were still there, the nurse said impatiently, “There are too many of your family members. Only one person can stay. The rest of you, leave now.”
Gu Ye looked at the nurse, then at the old woman (the one with the IV), and something felt off. He walked to the old woman’s side and looked at her face. Frowning, he quickly said, “Something’s wrong! Get help!”
The mean nurse’s expression changed. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ye ignored the mean nurse and pressed the emergency button.
The nurse, seeing the old woman’s expression, was also startled. “Dr. Qin! Quickly, call Dr. Qin!”
The doctor arrived quickly. Glancing at the medication, he immediately removed the needle. The old woman’s breathing became rapid, and her face turned blue. The doctor immediately provided emergency care, giving her oxygen.
“Who’s in charge of this patient? Where’s the nurse?”
The mean nurse panicked. “I…it was me.”
“When was this medication started?”
“Just now.”
“Was it given the normal dosage?”
“Yes.”
“It wasn’t like this a couple of days ago; she was getting better, but suddenly she deteriorated. I know exactly what medication I prescribed; the dosage wasn’t enough. And!” Dr. Qin looked at the old lady’s face, his expression grim, and asked, “You added a sleeping pill, didn’t you?”
The mean nurse turned pale and tried to argue, “I just gave her the dosage you gave. How was I supposed to know what was wrong when she suddenly became ill?”
Xie Cheng muttered under his breath, “We’ll know once it’s tested.”
The nurse burst into tears, “What do you mean? Are you bullying me? Would I give the wrong medication?”
The doctor explained irritably, “This elderly woman’s medical record states that she is allergic to medications containing tranquilizers! For a nurse to change a patient’s dressing arbitrarily, what’s the difference between that and murder?”
At this moment, the old woman’s son returned home and was dumbfounded. “What happened? What’s wrong with my mother?”
Xie Cheng, ever the cunning one, subtly explained, “It seems the nurse deliberately gave her the wrong medication.”
Hearing that, the young man immediately panicked, “What’s wrong with you? I told you to stall for time, but you can’t kill my mother!”
The nurse, pale-faced, cried, “I didn’t kill her!”
The old woman’s breathing finally stabilized, and the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. “Call the police.”
The nurse quickly said, “No, let the hospital handle it internally!”
From the conversation, the doctor already understood, “You two know each other? Was this intentional? If something happens to this old woman, is it your responsibility or mine? This medicine must be tested.”
The old woman’s son also panicked, “Don’t talk nonsense! Who did it intentionally? This is my mother. Would I harm my mother?”
The old woman then slowly woke up. As soon as she spoke, the ward fell silent, “No one, don’t touch my son.”
The doctor’s face turned pale with anger, “You almost died, do you know that?”
The old woman said weakly, “Still, you can’t arrest my son. If my son is arrested, will you support me on behalf of him?”
Xie Cheng had countless words to say, but when they reached his lips, only one sentence came out, “Fck, no words are enough to describe this.”
Gu Ye also found the commotion incredibly exciting. “Just watch, don’t get involved. Family matters are always difficult to resolve.”
Xie Cheng grinned. “Luckily, we didn’t call the police. If her son had been involved (in murder) and arrested, the old lady might have scratched us all over.”
Gu Ye suddenly laughed and said something nonsensical in a local dialect, “Seeing that wall reminded me of Wang the silversmith4.”
