The white hospital bed had a strong smell of disinfectant around it.
Zhou Qing lay down in a daze, as if floating in the clouds.
She felt a burning pain in her throat, as if there was a fire burning, or like ants were biting.
In a daze, she wanted to touch her neck with her hand, but just as she moved her arm, she felt a pinprick pain in the back of her hand.
As soon as she groaned softly, she felt her hand being held in the palm of a soft, warm little hand.
Zhou Qing opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Ruan Bai sitting beside his bed, looking at him with concern.
"Mrs. Lin, are you okay?"
Seeing that Zhou Qing woke up, Ruan Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and handed her the warm water poured on the bedside: "Is your throat hurting now, and you feel very uncomfortable? Drink some water to moisten your throat first." Right. The doctor said that your neck was only injured on the skin, and you will be fine after a few days of recuperation. You don’t have to worry too much. I’ll call the doctor to check you now.”
After finishing speaking, she rang the call bell and asked the doctor to come and check.
Zhou Qing stared at Ruan Bai, dripping it for about a quarter of an hour before he vaguely remembered what happened before.
At the fashion fair, she was accidentally kidnapped by gangsters and hurt her neck. It was Ruan Bai who negotiated with the gangsters and cleverly cooperated with the bodyguards around her to save her life.
"Where's Ning Ning?" Zhou Qing looked around the ward, but didn't see Lin Ning.
She wanted to sit up in bed.
Ruan Bai thoughtfully put a pillow on her back.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Ruan Bai explained: "Miss Lin just answered a phone call and went out, and came back in a while. Secretary Lin went on a business trip, and he heard that something happened to you, and he is rushing back..."
"Thank you today." Zhou Qing only felt that she was weak all over, and when she spoke, her voice was even hoarse.
Ruan Bai fed her a few sips of water, tucked the quilt for her, and said softly: "Mrs. Lin, your neck has been injured, and some of your vocal cords have been affected. It's best to talk less during this time."
Seeing Zhou Qing hesitated to speak, Ruan Bai probably understood what she wanted to ask.
So, she told her everything that happened afterwards: "As for the gangster who hurt you, I heard that he is a fake rich second generation with a criminal record. He has been taken away by the police and will definitely be sentenced... "
Only then did Zhou Qing feel relieved, and she wanted to ask Ruan Bai something more, but happened to meet the chief doctor who came to check her up.
The doctor is a middle-aged man. He wears old-fashioned square-rimmed glasses and looks refined.
Seeing him, Ruan Bai nodded to him with a smile: "Doctor, hello."
The chief doctor nodded to her, which was a polite response, and he didn't say much, and directly checked Zhou Qing.
After the examination, the director said to Zhou Qing with a gentle expression: "Mrs. Lin, your wound is not serious, and you can be discharged from the hospital today. Be careful not to let your wound touch water in the past few days. Also, your symptoms of anemia are somewhat Great, nutrition must keep up, and my body must pay attention..."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ruan Bai again, and said appreciatively: "Your daughter is really caring and filial. She has a big belly and is still busy with you. Sure enough, the daughter is the mother's caring little padded jacket!"
Ruan Bai glanced at Zhou Qing in embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "Doctor, you made a mistake. I... am not Mrs. Lin's daughter. Her daughter is out temporarily for something."
The chief doctor raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Really? But you both look alike."
After finishing speaking, he patiently told Zhou Qing some precautions, and then left with the accompanying nurse.
Zhou Qing's expression is inexplicable, because more than one person has said that Ruan Bai looks like her, and others have said a lot. Although she has doubts in her heart, she has never thought about it deeply, but today she stared at Ruan Bai intently. She seemed a little flustered.
"Ma'am, what are you looking at?" Ruan Bai touched his face and asked awkwardly.
Could it be that Zhou Qing discovered something?
Zhou Qing held her hand, and a hoarse voice escaped from deep in her throat: "Ruan Bai, I really don't know what to say. Although you are my daughter's rival in love, your existence hinders Ning Ning's happiness , but I don’t know why, I can’t hate you anyway. I don’t know if it’s because of our similar faces, or your similar temperament to me? Every time I see you, I always have a feeling of seeing myself when I was young Illusion... If you hadn't bravely stood up to confront the gangsters today, I really don't know what would have happened to me. Good boy, Auntie wouldn't say anything nice. Auntie will definitely do her best to help you when you encounter difficulties in the future. You. Don't call me Mrs. Lin in the future, it's too unfamiliar, just call me Auntie. "
Ruan Bai smiled quietly: "Auntie, you don't have to be polite to me, this is what I should do..."
Just as the two of them were having a sympathetic conversation, the door of the ward was suddenly opened.
Lin Ning came in with a food box in his hand.
When she saw Ruan Bai and Zhou Qing's clasped hands, she was shocked and frightened, and the anger in her heart soared to the peak.
"Mom!" Lin Ning called Zhou Qing, and put the food box heavily on the table beside him.
She roughly pulled her mother's hand from Ruan Bai's hand, and said flatteringly: "I brought you some food from Shifangzhai, the food there is very delicious, in order to buy the food there for you , I waited for more than half an hour."
Zhou Qing's hand was already infused with fluid, but now it hurts even more from being pulled by Lin Ning.
She couldn't help frowning, but didn't say much.
Ruan Bai reminded: "Miss Lin, Auntie is getting an infusion now, so be gentle."
Lin Ning originally held resentment towards Ruan Bai, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Miss Ruan, you and my mother are not related, and you care too much, I know my mother is infusion, As a daughter, I must love you more than anyone else..."
Ruan Bai was speechless.
She is just an outsider now, and she really doesn't have any qualifications to comment on anything, but she really doesn't like Lin Ning's style.
Zhou Qing couldn't help scolding Lin Ning: "Ning Ning, thanks to Miss Ruan today, otherwise mother would not have escaped so easily. Ruan Bai is mother's guest, how can you be so rude?"
Lin Ning was scolded by Zhou Qing, she held back her mouth in grievance, and after a while, she glanced at Ruan Bai meaningfully.
Then, she opened the meals she brought one by one like a show off: "Mom, I brought you a lot of delicious food, you should eat it while it's hot."
When Ruan Bai saw the food that Lin Ning brought, he felt very speechless.
Steak in brown sauce, braised pork with preserved vegetables, roasted elbow with seasonal vegetables in honey sauce...
These are not meals suitable for patients at all, okay?
