The only difference was that from this angle, her face was much more pleasing to the eye than the little Samoyed’s.
Her jet-black and supple short hair, as she lay there, a few strands fell along her cheeks, covering her lips, but her plump forehead and her elegant and delicate eyelids, in the light of early morning as sheer as gauze, emitted a luster akin to jade.
Ou Mucen moved slightly, unable to control himself, he wanted to touch that gloss.
But just as his hand began to move, the tightly closed eyelids beneath that hair were astonishingly alert. He only saw her dense, long eyelashes quiver like butterfly wings for a moment before her eyelids opened up, "Ou Mucen, you’re finally awake?"
The moment her eyes opened and she saw him awake, there was nothing but a glow of surprise in her pupil-like glaze.
Ou Mucen’s fingers stiffened and immediately dropped as if electrified!
"Good, good you’re awake. Wait here, I’ll go call the doctor." Without caring about her just-awakened state, unwashed face or unbrushed teeth, she hurried off to find the doctor with her sleepy and tousled look.
Ou Mucen was stunned for a moment before he slowly came to terms with his surroundings.
Apparently, he was in a hospital.
Had she admitted him yesterday? But near that place before he lost consciousness yesterday, it seemed like there were no signs of habitation, so how could there be a hospital?
He began to look around and noticed that the so-called sickroom was quite simplistic, with the walls sporting a grimy white and the lamp being a mere ordinary incandescent tube, not to mention how plain and worn the bed and chair were.
It seemed that this was not a regular hospital, then what place was this...
He was somewhat puzzled...
Right at that moment, Ye Ning brought the Japanese doctor in; as soon as the doctor entered and saw him lying on the bed, her excitement turned towards the doctor, "Doctor, look, he really is awake."
"Hmm, let me check on him."
The young doctor who had come in was also very glad to see Ou Mucen awake. After agreeing, he came over to examine him.
Ou Mucen, still not knowing where he was or what had happened to him last night, naturally furrowed his brow and asked, "What happened to me?"
"Your spleen ruptured, and this doctor operated on you last night," answered Ye Ning quickly, replacing the doctor’s response.
Ou Mucen too was startled upon hearing those words!
So the discomfort he had felt all day yesterday was due to a ruptured spleen? No wonder he was increasingly in agony; it turned out the impact was that severe.
After listening to his heartbeat and taking his blood, the doctor looked over the wound on his chest and abdomen and finally gave them some reassuring news, "There’s basically no danger now. In the coming time, you need to recuperate properly. What are your plans?"
Ye Ning looked towards the man still lying in the bed...
She understood what the doctor meant, of course. This was a small medical station that couldn’t accommodate inpatients. If they stayed, it might cause him trouble.
But if they were to leave, then they would have to travel back to Tokyo, and with this man just coming to, would the long journey be too difficult for him?
