The taxi finally stopped in front of St. Eddins Hospital.
He hurriedly took out the money from his pocket and threw it to the driver without even looking at the exact amount. Lin Feng opened the door and stumbled out of the car. The Mexican driver behind him opened the window and yelled at him again, "What are you doing?
"Hey, my friend, you've given me too much money —"
But Lin Feng could no longer hear the shouts behind him.
He raised his head and stared blankly at the quiet and solemn building of St. Eddins Hospital in front of him.
Then, his gaze moved down bit by bit.
His eyes fell on the man smoking beside the stone pillar in front of the main entrance of the hospital.
Number Three raised his head and looked over.
"You're here?"
Lin Feng subconsciously walked up the stairs and looked at Number Three. "Senior, you're all here?"
When the words left his mouth, he realized that his throat was dry.
"Yes, we're all here."
It wasn't Number Three who spoke. Number One walked out of the shadows behind the stone pillar and stood in front of Lin Feng. There was a complicated look on his face as he reached out and patted Lin Feng's shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Feng stared at Number One in a daze. Then, he looked up at the tall main entrance of the hospital.
"Is this … what you've been hiding from me?"
Number One and Number Three fell silent.
Lin Feng took a deep breath. When he looked at Number One again, his eyes were slightly red.
"This kind of thing."
"Senior, you shouldn't have hidden it from me."
Number One fell silent again. Then, he sighed. "But in the end, you still guessed it, didn't you?"
The night was quiet.
The sound of the rain gradually stopped until it could no longer be heard.
In the sky, the cold moonlight shone down from behind the clouds. The building of St. Eddins Hospital was bathed in a faint glow, but it was cold and devoid of warmth.
Lin Feng's throat moved. After a while, he struggled to speak again.
"Bao Zi, she …"
"How is she now?"
Number One was silent. Number Three raised his chin and gestured in the direction of the hospital.
"Instead of asking us —"
"Why don't you go see for yourself?"
Lin Feng took another deep breath. He glanced at the two seniors in front of him who he respected and even worshiped.
"Of course!"
After that, he ignored the two people in front of him, turned around, and hurriedly strode into the hospital.
As he watched a certain someone's figure disappear into the corridor, Number Three, who was standing in front of the stone pillar by the door, suddenly twitched his lips. He held the cigarette between his fingers and took another drag before clicking his tongue.
"This brat … It's rare for him to show us such an expression."
Number One shook his head and glanced at his old friend.
"Xiao Wu is right."
"You should smoke less," Wang Yao said.
The atmosphere seemed to have become strangely relaxed.
…
Lin Feng remembered the exact address Su Xue had given him over the phone. Fourth floor, end of the corridor, intensive care ward. He pressed the button for the elevator and walked in.
He clicked on the button for the fourth floor.
The elevator doors closed.
All the way up.
The feeling of weightlessness made Lin Feng feel even more uneasy. At that moment, Lin Feng felt that it was difficult to breathe. It was as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
After an unknown amount of time, the elevator door finally opened with a "ding dong" sound.
He had reached the fourth floor.
Just as he was about to step out of the elevator, Lin Feng suddenly staggered and nearly fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the wall to steady himself. However, he discovered that his legs were a little weak.
It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. He felt light as a feather and couldn't move at all.
His mind was also in a daze.
He subconsciously took another step forward.
Step by step, he walked forward.
He passed through the corridor.
Gradually, he could see a light at the end of the corridor. As he got closer, he saw two figures standing in front of a hospital room.
Su Xue and Number Five were standing there.
It was as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.
Lin Feng stepped forward and met their gazes. He forced himself to raise his spirits and waved his hand in greeting.
"Big sis Xue."
"Big sis Xiao Wu."
Su Xue looked at him with a complicated expression. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she lowered her head and said nothing. Number Five looked at him with a gentle gaze.
"Lin Feng, don't blame us.
There are some things … I really didn't know how to tell you at first. "
Lin Feng lowered his head in silence. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Number Five. "But you'll find out eventually, won't you?"
Number Five was stunned by the question. After a long time, he sighed softly.
Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the door of the hospital room in front of him. On the wall next to the door was an eye-catching sign that read "ICU". He then looked at Su Xue and Number Five again.
He said with difficulty, "Is she inside?"
Su Xue pursed her lips and nodded.
But the more she reacted like this, the more Lin Feng's heart sank. He forced himself to stay awake and hold on to his last bit of hope.
"Is she … okay?"
Number Five said softly.
"Go in and see for yourself."
Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the ward again. The window was covered by a curtain, so he couldn't see what was going on inside the ward. He was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and walked to the door of the ward.
He reached out and grabbed the doorknob.
He could obviously open it with a gentle twist, but at this moment, the doorknob in Lin Feng's hand felt like it was weighed down by a heavy boulder.
He retreated a little.
Originally, he had traveled through the night to get here, but now that he was standing in front of the ward and was only a door away from his childhood sweetheart in the ward, he couldn't help but feel fear and cower.
His hands were trembling slightly and imperceptibly.
Because he was afraid.
He didn't know what kind of scene was inside the room.
He was afraid that when he opened the door, he would see something he didn't dare to see and couldn't accept.
But finally.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and turned the doorknob.
Then.
He carefully pushed the door open and entered.
Accompanied by the smell of alcohol and disinfectant, he saw a clean and tidy ward.
There was a girl on the pure white bed.
The hospital gown on her body was a little loose, and her soft black hair fell over her shoulders.
Even if he could only see half of her face, under the soft light, it still had a beauty that could make one's heart tremble uncontrollably.
The girl sat in front of the bed with half a quilt covering her.
She held an apple in her hand.
Her head was lowered, and she took small bites.
Although Lin Feng's movement of opening the door was very light, the girl on the bed still looked up as if she had sensed it.
Her eyes met with Lin Feng's.
Time seemed to stop for a moment.
After a short pause, the young lady waved at a certain person in front of the door with her usual expression and natural expression.
"You're here?"
"Want an apple?"
As he said this, he waved the apple in his other hand at a certain someone, as if asking for advice.
