“Nuannuan, where are you going?” Shen Lanzhi knew that Nuannuan was not the kind of girl to just run off after bumping into someone, let alone her own mother.
But Shi Nuannuan did not even have the time to speak. She just rushed towards the elevator.
Shen Lanzhi was confused. She did not know what had happened to her all of a sudden.
Shen Lanzhi walked into the ward and saw that Weiyi was dressed and looked anxious as well.
“Weiyi, what happened to you?” asked Shen Lanzhi worriedly.
Zuo Weiyi looked at Shen Lanzhi. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
She had been so immersed in her own sorrow that she had forgotten about the watch. Though she knew about it now, could it be that she had already missed the opportunity to contact Shi Yuting?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy her heart felt.
Shen Lanzhi was still confused.
Forty minutes later, Shi Nuannuan rushed into the hospital ward looking anxious while holding a watch with a pink gem embedded in it.
“Sister-in-Law!”
She rushed to the bedside and handed the watch to Zuo Weiyi because she did not know how to use the functions on it.
Zuo Weiyi’s hands were trembling when she took the watch. She immediately pressed the pink gemstone and held her breath, waiting for it to be connected.
However, she only heard a mechanical voice. “Sorry, the system you are calling has been terminated.”
Zuo Weiyi’s heart trembled.
How could it be terminated?
Shi Nuannuan also looked at Weiyi blankly. “Sister-in-Law, what… what does this mean?”
Her fingers seemed to have lost their strength as the watch slipped from her palm.
Although she did not know why this was happening, the absence of Shi Yuting’s voice meant that the call had failed. In other words… the watch on his wrist had already been damaged?
Shi Yuting once said that the watch was waterproof and wouldn’t break even if it fell into the sea.
But now, it had failed.
Her heart sank in an instant, suffocating her.
“Weiyi, what is this watch for?” Zhong Shenghao couldn’t help but ask when he saw her pained expression.
From her face, Shi Nuannuan also realized that their only hope had been destroyed.
Could it be that her brother and Xiangyi had really..
No, that was impossible.
A week had passed but their bodies hadn’t been found, be it by her grandfather’s or national forces. If there were no bodies, there was no guarantee that they are dead. It just couldn’t be!
“It’s okay.” Zuo Weiyi forced back the tears in her eyes.
She didn’t want to talk about the watch. She didn’t want Shen Lanzhi to suffer the same after hearing about it.
She turned her head and looked at Shen Lanzhi and Zhong Shenghao.
“Can I be discharged?”
Zhong Shenghao looked at her. Although it was only for a moment, her expression told him that there was something amiss with the watch.
But since she didn’t want to tell him, he didn’t ask anymore.
Instead, he nodded. “Yes, I’ve already gone through the discharge procedures.”
Zuo Weiyi took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. “Then let’s go.”
She got up from the bed as Shi Nuannuan watched her. She knew that she hid the matter of the watch because she didn’t want Mommy to suffer the pain of despair again.
