Therefore, Gu Nianzhi didn't even realize it wasn't her card. She casually signed her name, and Reinitz didn't say a word and pretended nothing had happened.
When the clerk returned the card, Reinitz took it and replaced it with Gu Nianzhi's credit card before returning it to her. He took his own card back.
As for Gu Nianzhi's signature, no one would pursue it as long as Reinitz didn't object. The credit card company would only refuse to pay if the customer didn't approve of the signature.
As soon as the bag was bought, Reinitz took it out of the dustproof bag and removed the label. He directly put the contents of the black plastic bag Gu Nianzhi was carrying into the new small bag.
Gu Nianzhi slung it over her left shoulder and looked very matching with her dress.
Only then was Reinitz satisfied and took her to St. Joseph's Hospital to see Mother Hanna.
They took a taxi to the entrance of the hospital.
After getting out, Gu Nianzhi looked up at the tall hospital building and asked Reinitz nonchalantly, "Since you're so rich, why did you take a taxi?"
Reinitz shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I wanted to hide it from you, but you saw through me. I'll get someone to drive my car over later."
Gu Nianzhi was furious. "I saw through you? Can you be any more fake? "
She treated Reinitz as a friend who had gone through thick and thin with her. Even if he was hiding something from her, it was an indisputable fact that he had saved her.
But was there a need to hide something so blatantly?!
Reinitz was amused by her and bowed slightly to her. He said very gentlemanly, "It was my fault. Cereus, don't be angry."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and thought about what reason she had to be unhappy with him.
She had a lot to hide from him too …
"I'm not angry. Let's go see Mother Hanna." Gu Nianzhi didn't want to continue the topic and urged him to go see Mother Hanna at the hospital.
Reinitz took her into the hospital and found Mother Hanna's room.
It was also a single room, but it wasn't as big or luxurious as Gu Nianzhi's.
It was a very ordinary room, and Mother Hanna was sleeping on a bed in the middle of the room.
Her forehead and wrist were wrapped in white bandages.
Gu Nianzhi felt bad and asked Reinitz quietly, "Didn't you say Mother Hanna was fine?"
She was fine?
He was obviously injured …
Reinitz shrugged. "It's just a minor injury. I was burned by the fire, but it's not serious. "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him and walked to Mother Hanna's bedside. She reached out to hold her hand and sighed in relief when she felt that it was still warm and dry.
Perhaps her movement had woken Mother Hanna.
Mother Hanna opened her eyes and frowned in confusion when she saw Gu Nianzhi. Then she saw Reinitz behind Gu Nianzhi and immediately smiled. "Reinitz, you're here?"
Reinitz walked over and casually placed a hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. "Mother Hanna, are you feeling better?"
Mother Hanna nodded. "I'm fine, but the doctor won't let me leave the hospital. Tell them I want to go home. "
"Stay here for a few more days. We'll talk about it after you've recovered." Reinitz tucked her in and said, "She's Cereus. Don't you remember Mother Hanna?"
"Ah? She's Cereus?! "Mother Hanna exclaimed in surprise and reached out to Gu Nianzhi." Come to Mother Hanna! You look so beautiful in a dress! Mother Hanna doesn't recognize you at all! "
Gu Nianzhi walked over with a smile. "I thought you forgot about me. I'm going to cry in front of you!"
"How could I?! I even asked Reinitz over the phone how you were. Reinitz told me you were fine and that I was only reassured when you were with him. " He winked at Gu Nianzhi to say, "I understand."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Mother Hanna, don't think too much!
Reinitz smiled and removed his arm from Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "Cereus has been … unconscious for the past few days. She said she wanted to see Mother Hanna as soon as she woke up today."
"What a good girl." Mother Hanna was overjoyed. She grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand and refused to let go. "Cereus, are you feeling better? You have to take care of yourself! "
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Mother Hanna. I'm all better now." Gu Nianzhi smiled and held her hand. "I'm relieved to see that you're fine today. Even if I go home, I can go home in peace."
Hearing that Gu Nianzhi wanted to go home, Mother Hanna's expression froze for a moment. She quickly glanced at Reinitz and saw that he was unmoved. She pursed her lips into a smile and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Isn't Berlin good? Isn't Reinitz good? Why don't you stay here for a few more days? When Mother Hanna recovers, I'll be able to play with you in Berlin. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and thanked her, but tactfully said, "Mother Hanna, I've already been out for a long time. If I don't go back soon, my family will be worried."
"I see." Mother Hanna's eyes were very disappointed, but she still let go of Gu Nianzhi's hand and nodded. "I know. Home is indeed very important."
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what to say. At that moment, the nurse opened the door and came in to help. "The patient is about to have an injection. Please leave for now."
Reinitz took Gu Nianzhi's hand and walked out of Mother Hanna's room. They waited in the hallway.
The two of them looked at the scenery outside the window and didn't speak.
After a long time, Reinitz finally said, "You really want to leave?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded and tactfully said, "Yes, I've been away from home for a long time. If I don't go back soon, my family will be worried."
"Really?" Reinitz's smile disappeared from his face. He looked at her from the corner of his eye, and the expression in his dark blue eyes was extremely complicated. "Then we'll talk about it when you're fully recovered. If you go out like this, aren't you afraid that the people who want to kill you will find you again? "
Of course Gu Nianzhi was afraid, but was she going to hide here and not go back?
Absolutely not.
However, what Reinitz said made some sense. She couldn't be too stubborn and leave here, only to be caught again.
No matter what, Reinitz was still considered a gentleman. He was a hundred times better than that b * tch Seth.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and thought about it for a while before saying hesitantly, "Then what should I do? But I really want to go home. "
"How about this, you stay here and recuperate first. When you're fully recovered, I'll take you home, okay?" Reinitz's expression softened, and his features weren't as cold as they had been.
Gu Nianzhi sensibly knew that she couldn't go against Reinitz, so she nodded obediently. "Okay, thank you, Reinitz."
“Good-girl。” Reinitz patted her head and suddenly heard the door behind him open. He let go and turned to see the nurse who had given Mother Hanna the injection come out.
Reinitz took Gu Nianzhi back to Mother Hanna's room.
Mother Hanna looked very tired and almost fell asleep on the hospital bed.
Seeing Reinitz bring Gu Nianzhi in, Mother Hanna nodded slightly at them and mumbled, "… You guys get along well. I'm going to sleep for a while." Then she fell asleep.
After Gu Nianzhi and Reinitz said goodbye to Mother Hanna, they took her back to Charlotte Hospital.
When they left the hospital, Reinitz didn't call someone to drive him over. He still called a taxi, and Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything.
It was just a joke, so she wouldn't pursue such a small matter.
…
When they returned to Charlotte Hospital, Gu Nianzhi obediently went back to her room and slept. She waited for the specialists to come over three times a day to examine her.
All of her data was perfect. After two days, the specialists once again requested a blood test for Gu Nianzhi.
Reinitz wasn't in the room this time, so Gu Nianzhi faced the three excited doctors alone. They looked at her like she was a lab rat.
Gu Nianzhi was extremely unhappy.
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and only revealed her head. She yelled, "Go away! I'm all cured! I don't want to draw blood! "
"… It's just a routine blood test. It won't hurt. If you're afraid of pain, I'll give you anesthesia! " A male doctor in his forties looked at her almost greedily. He held a thick syringe in his hand, just like the kind used to give anesthesia to animals. He reached over to lift her blanket.
Gu Nianzhi was furious. She kicked the blanket up and wrapped it around the doctor's left hand. Then she grabbed the doctor's right hand that was holding the large syringe and stabbed it into his body!
The doctor screamed as he was stabbed by the anesthetic needle in his hand. The pain made his fingers instinctively shrink back, and he injected most of the anesthetic into his body.
His screams stopped abruptly. His entire body shrunk to the ground and lay there motionless.
The other two doctors were older. When they saw Gu Nianzhi and the male doctor fighting, they hid far away and didn't dare come over to help.
Gu Nianzhi took advantage of this opportunity to jump off the bed barefooted and run to the window sill. She held the window frame with one hand and supported herself with the other. One leg was already hanging outside the window sill.
Gu Nianzhi looked out the window and immediately felt dizzy.
Her room was on the 18th floor!
"If you come any closer, I'll jump! I mean what I say! "
Gu Nianzhi's stubbornness surfaced. She wouldn't compromise at all. She clung to the window frame, her long hair draped over her back and fluttering in the wind outside. Her small face was whiter than the white hospital gown she wore!
The two older doctors were terrified. They quickly waved their hands and blurted out a series of German words for her to come down. Gu Nianzhi understood a few words, but still insisted on saying in English, "Get out! Get out now! "
The two bodyguards outside the door heard the commotion in the room. They pushed the door open and immediately pulled out their guns to aim at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she laughed. She simply stood on the window sill and shouted, "Come on! Shoot here! Or I'll jump! "
The two doctors were really anxious now. They rushed up together and hugged the arms of the two bodyguards that were holding the guns. They said repeatedly, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! She's very precious! Absolutely don't shoot! "
The two bodyguards quickly said, "Let go! It's very easy to misfire like this! "
Bang!
As they spoke, one of the bodyguards accidentally fired his gun and hit the leg of the doctor who was lying on the ground. But even with such a gunshot wound, the doctor lay motionless on the ground.
Gu Nianzhi was secretly shocked. This anesthetic was too powerful. If they really injected it into her body …
She shuddered and felt that it would be better to die.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, more people rushed in from outside.
Reinitz was the last to come in.
He had only gone out for a meeting. When he came back, he went to a four-star Michelin restaurant in Berlin to buy some delicious white sausages. When he came back, he found Gu Nianzhi's room in a mess.
He looked up and saw Gu Nianzhi standing on the large window sill in the room. The window was very high, as high as half the wall. Gu Nianzhi stood on it, her white hospital gown puffed up in the wind. Her long hair was flying in the wind, and her bare feet were like white jade. She stepped on the black marble window sill, like a blooming epiphyllum on a black base. It made people's hearts tighten.
"Get out!" Reinitz didn't even have time to put down the lunch box in his hand and yelled.
As soon as they heard his voice, the bodyguards left in an instant.
Only the two older doctors and the middle-aged male doctor who was lying motionless on the ground were left.
"You guys get out too." Reinitz spoke German to them and even kicked the middle-aged male doctor who was lying unconscious on the ground. "Take him away."
The two older doctors looked at each other and didn't seem to dare disobey Reinitz. They walked over and carried the middle-aged male doctor who had accidentally injected himself with the anesthetic away.
Reinitz put down the lunchbox in his hand and kicked the door shut with a loud bang.
He walked steadily to the window sill and extended his hands to Gu Nianzhi. His voice was extremely gentle. "Come, Cereus, come to me."
Gu Nianzhi refused and leaned against the window. Tears welled up in her dark eyes, but she still stubbornly raised her head and said to Reinitz, "If you want to take my blood again, I'll jump down from here!"
Reinitz stared into Gu Nianzhi's eyes and continued to walk steadily towards her. He extended his left hand and said in an even more gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. I promise no one will take your blood. When has Reinitz ever lied to you?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She looked at Reinitz in a daze and opened her mouth, but didn't dare to speak.
In this place, the only person she could rely on was Reinitz. Although he wasn't much better than those people, as long as he was a little better, she could only listen to him.
Reinitz finally walked to the window and stopped, still holding out his hand. "Cereus, come down."
Gu Nianzhi began to sob. Slowly, slowly, she let go of the window frame.
Reinitz took a step forward and directly hugged her waist to pull her down from the window sill.
Gu Nianzhi was held tightly in his arms. He gently patted her back to slowly calm her nerves.
He carried her to the bed and covered her with the blanket. He said, "I'm going to close the window. The weather is already getting cold. You'll catch a cold if the wind blows."
Gu Nianzhi watched him walk to the window sill and lock the window with a click.
She closed her eyes. She knew that Reinitz had locked the window as well.
Reinitz gently stroked her long hair. His dark blue eyes stared intently at her large, dark eyes. His expression was gentle and affectionate, but his voice was a little tense. "Promise me that you won't do such a dangerous thing again."
Gu Nianzhi leaned against the pillow, her face full of despair. "No, I can't promise you unless you let me go."
Reinitz's hand paused for a moment, then he gently moved it away. His voice calmed down. "Of course you can go, but you have to wait until you're better."
"I'm already better!" Gu Nianzhi said anxiously. "Reinitz, I beg you! Let me go! "
"I'll … try my best." Reinitz looked at her with a complicated expression. He stood up and turned to leave Gu Nianzhi's ward.
There were several more bodyguards outside Gu Nianzhi's ward. There were now eight people patrolling outside her ward daily. They were all armed bodyguards.
The doctors who wanted to take her blood for a blood test didn't come either.
Gu Nianzhi was alone in the ward. She couldn't do anything other than read the newspapers and magazines that those people gave her.
She couldn't go online, make phone calls, watch TV, or go out.
Her ruddy little face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She ate less and became even thinner. Even the smallest size of the hospital gown was empty on her body, as if it could be blown away by the wind.
Gu Nianzhi racked her brains to think of a way to escape the ward, but the windows were sealed shut. There were eight bodyguards outside the door 24 hours a day. No one came to see her except Reinitz.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Reinitz came to accompany her every day. She asked him curiously, "Reinitz, don't you have to go to work?"
Reinitz shook the newspaper in his hand. "I resigned."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"Resigned? Really? "she asked doubtfully." What do you do for a living? "
But Reinitz accompanied her every day. How could he have time to go to work?
"I used to be a computer software engineer. Now I'm …" Reinitz looked at her with a smile. "Cereus' full-time caregiver."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and muttered, "Who would believe that?"
But she didn't continue to argue with Reinitz.
It wasn't that she didn't have doubts, but she was unfamiliar with this place. At least Reinitz had saved her, so it was much safer to be with him than with anyone else.
And with Reinitz around, at least she didn't have to worry about someone injecting her with the large syringe that was used to administer anesthesia to animals …
That day, after Gu Nianzhi finished breakfast, she picked up a German dictionary and compared it to a large German law textbook.
Reinitz said he was going to accompany Mother Hanna to complete the discharge procedures and probably send her home. He didn't come back all night.
The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and several people wearing black German military uniforms walked in.
The last person to walk in was wearing knee-high boots. He was tall and had long legs. His face was cold and handsome. He was much more treacherous than Reinitz and had a sinister look on his face.
The epaulets on this person's shoulders were silver-white with three four-pointed stars and a silver-white corolla decoration.
The other people's epaulets were golden with two silver-white arrowheads in the middle.
The person with three stars on his shoulder was definitely their leader.
