136 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 3

[A/N: First, let me apologize for not notifying you about the "supernatural" part of the story. I thought since I introduced you to the Four Gods, you guys would realize that it was part of the supernatural incident. It's a mistake from my part. After you find the truth about Xue Lin, you will understand why the supernatural theme came. In truth, The Cobra and The Mongoose have dark histories as they have supernatural powers. I can't tell you about Xue Lin's truth yet. When she finds out or others find out, you will too.

Spoiler Alert: You will find out soon! ;P]

In the hospital, after being kissed on the cheek, Ge Chen resumed feeding her. Xue Lin chewed slowly and gulped it down to her throat. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Say Chen, how long am I forbidden to walk freely?"

"Just a month. Your wound in the right foot is serious. I can't imagine how you got this."

"Oh, it's when I was running away and then something sharp pierced my foot. I thought I was going to die in pain. I couldn't breathe properly for a few seconds." Xue Lin shivered at that memory. She shook her head, trying to forget it.

Ge Chen put down the bowl and lowered his head. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't stay beside you when it happened."

"How many times are you going to apologize? Nothing will change no matter how many times you apologize." Xue Lin reached out and put her bandaged hand on his shoulder. "I know you are feeling guilty but its okay now because you've brought me back and are treating me with delicious food."

"However," her expression suddenly changed, "my husband, if I eat all of them and then I get the nature's call, what will happen? I can't walk, I can't use my hands either."

Even if someone carries her to the washroom, what will she do after she does the deed? How will she clean herself? – That's what was going on in her head at that moment.

Ge Chen paused and replied, "Nurses can prepare a pipe for you…" seeing the horror in his wife's expression he added, "I will wash you if you want-"

"Chen! I know you mean well but I can't eat anymore!" Xue Lin quickly interrupted him. No matter how hungry she was, it vanished into thin air after she heard the word 'pipe'.

She already started to imagine the nurses trying to insert the pipe. Her face became deathly pale. She couldn't even imagine Ge Chen wiping her off. That would be even worse!!

[A/N: Xue Lin, you should learn from Mu Lan. She let herself be cleaned by Mu Liang for two weeks.]

Ge Chen frowned. "You have to eat. You are too weak. If you don't eat, you cannot recover quickly. I believe you don't want to stay in the hospital for a whole month."

"Though I don't like tablets, give me vitamin tablets. I think that will suffice until my hand recovers. It will take a week to heal my hands, right? Just a week, then I'll eat again." Xue Lin desperately requested him.

Ge Chen sighed and said, "At least finish the chicken."

"No need, I've lost my appetite." She tried to change the subject, "Why don't you eat? You don't look like you've rested the past few days. After you fill your stomach, I will share my bed with you." She slightly patted the empty space beside her.

"Are you trying to bribe me?" Ge Chen wouldn't easily fall for it. The doctor told him to make sure she ate properly after waking up. He knew that her health was more important than his desire.

Xue Lin blinked trying to muster whatever excuses she could. She coughed and said, "Well, I'm deeply worried about your health. Did you see what you did to your face? Tomorrow you will look like the ghost from that horror film. You will surely scare me away."

"Fine, I'll eat. Do you want to lay down?" Ge Chen took the bowl and started to eat all by himself.

Xue Lin shook her head. "No, I'm tired of laying down."

She looked outside the window and saw the green ground where children were playing. Most of them were patients and nurses were assisting them. They looked happy and they laughed innocently. Some old patients were sitting on the wheelchairs and watching the children play.

Xue Lin smiled. 'What a peaceful view! I've never seen a hospital like this before.'

Her eyes landed on a woman with an umbrella. Her face was covered under the umbrella. She was wearing a grass green qipao. Xue Lin looked at her for some time as if she was dazed. The woman seemed to realize that someone was staring at her. She suddenly moved and looked at the direction where Xue Lin was.

Xue Lin gasped. That woman had no eyes and blood was dripping from her sockets. She reached her hands toward Xue Lin.

Xue Lin quickly averted her gaze and looked at Ge Chen. He heard her muffled sound and looked at her in puzzlement. "Are you okay? Your expression doesn't look good."

Xue Lin didn't reply and bravely looked outside again. That woman was gone. She breathed deeply and said, "Chen, I want to lay down. I don't feel good." As she said that, her body collapsed. She suddenly lost all her strength.

"Lin!" Ge Chen quickly caught her and laid her down properly. He noticed some droplets of cold sweats form on her forehead and her body was turning cold. He hastily clicked the button to call for the doctor.

Doctor Wei Qing didn't waste her time. She came hurriedly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"She was okay a minute ago and suddenly collapsed." Ge Chen was nervous as he explained.

"Let me check…" Doctor Wei Qing came closer and checked her pulse. "Her pressure is still low. Despite her weakness, she had been holding up this long. It's a good thing. I think…"

Xue Lin couldn't hear anything. She just recalled the woman and kept thinking, 'It appeared. It appeared again. I can see spirits again…'
