No one paid attention to her anymore. The response she received was merely the sight of this man lighting another cigarette.
As Han Duo sat there, she felt increasingly restless. This man was truly terrifying, and the feeling he gave her, from their time in school to the present, was as if they were from two different classes. He was a born star, while she was mere dust on the ground. She didn’t even dare to speak to him, let alone look at him.
Therefore, at this moment, his indifference once again made her feel that invisible pressure and inferiority that she had felt initially, especially after his recent questioning that had almost made her panic.
So she sat there, glanced at her watch, and then stood up from the chair, preparing to leave.
However, just as she was about to turn around, suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the opposite elevator. That figure was dressed in a nurse’s uniform.
What was she planning to do? Wasn’t it just about confirming something? Why was she wearing that?
She stood there, dazed for a moment, her mind taking a lengthy pause before she could collect her thoughts...
Ou Mucen was still waiting. Nearly an hour and a half had passed, why hadn’t she come out yet?
He looked at his watch and was about to make inquiries when the woman who had stood up from the chair suddenly turned her head and looked at him with a ghastly pale face, "Ou Mucen, where does your wife stay?"
Ou Mucen was stunned, "What did you say?"
"I heard that your wife is also staying in this hospital, and I wanted to ask where exactly? I might visit when I have time." Her speech began to tremble, as if speaking to him was a frightening ordeal.
But in reality, it wasn’t due to fear of him, but because she suddenly thought of something!
That’s right, his wife!
She finally understood why she had only needed to make a phone call to draw Ji Chengzhi out. The ultimate goal was to use Ji Chengzhi to lure this man away from the hospital room.
That woman had truly lost her mind!
Her fingers began to tremble, her complexion as white as a corpse...
Ou Mucen didn’t notice anything unusual from her words, but when he glanced at her, he saw her in that state and suddenly became suspicious...
What was that expression?
Astonishment? And also... uncontrollable confusion and panic?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he followed her gaze...
Meanwhile, in the VIP ward area, after school, Ou Xiaobao, whose Uncle Ying Hao had gone out to buy some snacks, was boredly playing with his toys in the room.
For a child, ten minutes or so doesn’t feel very long, but at that moment, Ou Xiaobao was feeling restless without his dad around, especially having just come back from kindergarten.
After several attempts to find his father and Uncle Ying Hao without success, he saw a nurse holding a tray full of medication approaching, "Little boy, are you here by yourself?"
Ou Xiaobao stood there, blinked, and asked, "Hmm, where is sister going?"
"I’m going to give your mom an injection. Look, the needles are all here," the nurse wearing a mask said, shaking the tray with the needle at him.
Ou Xiaobao took a look and wanted to say something, but at that moment, the nurse had already opened the door to the intensive care room.
