Chapter 6

Shen Nian's colleague listened with a thumping heart: “I feel it’s very likely. Who would keep calling an empty number?”

While they were still discussing whether Shen Nian really had a mental problem, a young nurse rushed over, anxiety written all over her face, speaking in a panicked tone:

“There’s an accident with the patient in Bed 23!”

The two nurses who were chatting leisurely instantly changed expressions.

.................................

After taking the sleeping pills, Shen Nian slept very soundly. It had been a long time since she had such a sweet sleep, without any dreams to disturb her, and she slept until she woke up naturally.

As she opened her eyes, the first thing that entered her sight was the ceiling of the hospital room. Shen Nian stared at the white surface for quite a while.

No wonder everyone advises having adequate sleep. The feeling of sleeping full is really comfortable.

There was still some pain in her abdomen, but she could ignore it.

Wanting to stretch, she then realized someone was holding her hand.

Shen Nian turned her head. A man was grasping her hand, sleeping very soundly with his head on her hospital bed.

She recognized who it was just by the hair. She was surprised to see him appear here, eyes flashing a hint of astonishment.

Before Shen Nian could retrieve her hand or speak, her slight movement had already woken up the man.

Xiao Mubai, who stayed by her side the whole night, only managed to doze off for the second half. Although he was resting, he remained alert, so he immediately woke up when Shen Nian stirred slightly.

As he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Nian looking at him.

Seeing it was indeed Xiao Mubai, Shen Nian was surprised: “Why are you here?”

“You woke up!” Xiao Mubai instantly became alert, anxiously asking: “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I’ll call the doctor right now!”

Saying so, not giving Shen Nian a chance to speak, he immediately pressed the call bell beside them.

The doctor who had been waiting outside hurried in as soon as he heard the call bell, first giving Shen Nian an examination.

Following the doctor, two other people also came in. One was Dr. Kong whom Shen Nian had met before, the other a man in his forties. The two stood at the side, one lowering his head silently while the other had an anxious look.

Shen Nian was somewhat puzzled.

Li Dean was already prepared to be slaughtered. But he then heard Shen Nian say:

“It’s alright, I won’t pursue this.”

Li Dean was stunned upon hearing that. This was his first time encountering a patient who didn’t pursue the hospital’s liability after an incident. “Miss Shen?”

Shen Nian wanted to sit up. Xiao Mubai immediately understood her intention and raised the hospital bed.

Leaning against it was much more comfortable than lying down. Xiao Mubai also placed a pillow at her waist for extra cushioning to make her more comfortable sitting.

Compared to her frighteningly pale complexion when she was sent in yesterday, after sleeping for one night, her complexion had improved by a lot, though she still looked very haggard.

Looking at Li Dean and Dr. Kong, Shen Nian said: “It was me who didn’t state my condition clearly when asking Dr. Kong for sleeping pills.”

Dr. Kong wasn’t yesterday’s emergency doctor, so she only knew that Shen Nian was sent to the ER for massive bleeding after an abortion. She didn’t know Shen Nian had drank alcohol. After the emergency treatment, she had changed into patient robes, so the smell of alcohol on her was much fainter.

“It was my own problem. I won’t pursue the hospital’s liability. Please don’t fire Dr. Kong too, Dean Li.”

“Yes, yes.” Afraid that she would change her mind, upon hearing Shen Nian speak so amiably, Li Dean hurriedly agreed.

“Then...I won’t disturb Miss Shen’s rest. If anything, press the call bell. Our doctors and nurses are on standby at all times.”

“Alright, thanks.”

Li Dean heaved a huge sigh of relief and was about to leave. Dr Kong also had an expression of surviving a catastrophe.

Watching Dr. Kong’s departing back, Shen Nian contemplated for two seconds before calling out to stop her.

“Dr. Kong.”

Dr. Kong halted her steps and turned back to look at Shen Nian. “Miss Shen?”

Shen Nian gave her a faint smile. “Thank you for your concern.”

Dr. Kong was stunned for a moment, subconsciously replying: “You’re welcome...”

Watching Dr. Kong leave, Xiao Mubai beside them knitted his brows, somewhat puzzled. “She almost caused your death yet you’re thanking her?”

Shen Nian withdrew her gaze. “It was my problem.”

Xiao Mubai still wore a very solemn expression.
