Chen Zhao hurried to Chantilly Hospital. Robio was waiting for him at the door.
When Chen Zhao arrived, he took him in.
When Chen Zhao came to Fali's room, he saw that Faur was there too.
"Chen?" Faur was also surprised. "You're here for me?"
"Uh … No, I'm the patient's friend," Chen Zhao said.
"Chen, she's Fali's sister," Robio said.
"You know my sister?" Faur looked at Chen Zhao in surprise.
"Um, can you let me see Fali's condition?"
Faur nodded. Since Chen Zhao was willing to help, she was more than happy to.
Chen Zhao checked Fali's condition. "There's no water in her lungs. Her heart rate is normal, her pulse is normal, her pupils are dilated, and there's no light reaction … Faur, did you give her a tranquilizer?"
"No, Fali has been unconscious since she was sent to the hospital."
"Could it be a fake coma?" Faur suggested.
Chen Zhao and Robio both understood. As a doctor, Chen Zhao definitely knew about fake unconsciousness. Robio, on the other hand, worked in the Coastal Rescue Team, so he had seen many drowning people.
Usually, fake coma meant that the brain was still active, but because the subconscious was still drowning, the person would seal off their consciousness. This was also a way to protect the brain.
This was because the drowning person would lack oxygen for a long time. It would cause brain damage.
Fake coma was a short-term coma. Usually, the person would be unconscious for one to three days. There was a small chance that the person would be unconscious for longer.
"Chen, do you have a solution?"
"I still need to observe." Chen Zhao didn't get any useful information from his inspection so far.
However, he still suspected that Fali's drowning wasn't normal.
Chen Zhao and Robio walked out of the room. "Robio, can you tell me what happened when you found Fali?" Chen Zhao asked.
"I received the call at two in the morning. I heard Walter barking on the other end. To be honest, I don't want to believe that a dog can do this."
"If Walter can really call, he should call me. Why did he call you?"
"Because my contact information is on the wall of the headquarters." Robio seemed to sense the jealousy in Chen Zhao's tone.
However, this also proved that Chen Zhao really doted on Walter like a parent.
If Chen Zhao didn't care, he wouldn't have said that.
Robio was also glad that Walter could be with Chen Zhao.
"After that, I rushed to the headquarters. I saw Fali lying on the beach with a buoyant ball and a life jacket. She couldn't have gone swimming after midnight unless someone fell into the water. However, I didn't find any other drowned people around her, so it's possible that she didn't manage to save anyone and was in danger herself. She was either washed ashore, or Walter dragged her ashore."
Chen Zhao was more inclined to believe that it was someone Walter had saved. He remembered that Fali had said that she had encountered a supernatural event.
Therefore, he suspected that Fali had been attacked by an evil spirit.
Otherwise, with Fali's swimming ability, she would be fine even at night. At least, it was unlikely that anything would happen.
Fali was fully equipped and had Walter by her side.
If there were no special circumstances, the possibility of an accident happening was very small.
"Is Walter still at the headquarters?"
"Yes, I left it at the headquarters."
"I'll go get Walter. I'm worried about him staying with the Coastal Rescue Team alone."
"Okay, I won't go with you," Robio said. "I'll stay here and take care of Fali."
Chen Zhao rushed to the headquarters and called Walter. In the darkness, Walter had already rushed out.
Walter was very agitated. Clearly, he'd been agitated by something. He jumped and barked before Chen Zhao.
"Walter, be quiet, be quiet." Chen Zhao comforted him. "Was Fali attacked by an evil spirit?"
Woof —
"Can you find an evil spirit?"
Walter turned to look in the direction of the sea with a confused expression.
Chen Zhao felt helpless that Walter couldn't provide any clues.
After all, Walter couldn't communicate with Chen Zhao directly like Beelzebub and the others.
Just then, Walter suddenly turned and ran into the headquarters. Then he came out with a rotten piece of wood.
Chen Zhao took the wood. It was a piece of cedar wood. It was still wet. Walter had probably just taken it out of the water. It should be an old piece of ship wood.
However, no matter how good cedar wood was, it would rot after being soaked in water for decades or even hundreds of years.
This piece of cedar wood was already very brittle. Chen Zhao used a bit of force and could feel the wood crack.
At the fracture of the cedar wood, there were protruding letters that were obviously made with outdated craftsmanship.
Mary?
Chen Zhao studied the wood. He wasn't sure if it had anything to do with Fali's attack.
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang.
"Chen, Fali's awake, but she looks very uneasy. She wants you to come and take her home."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Chen Zhao said immediately.
As long as she was fine, Chen Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhao was really afraid that Fali had been attacked by some unknown force.
If Fali had been hurt by some magic or supernatural power, Chen Zhao would probably have to ask Sienna for help.
Now that Fali was awake, Chen Zhao felt much more at ease.
When Chen Zhao arrived at the hospital, Fali was sitting on the bed. Faur sat beside her and Robio stood before the bed.
Robio could tell that Fali was really frightened.
However, he didn't understand what had happened to Fali for her to have such an intense reaction.
"Chen, you're here." Seeing Chen Zhao, Fali's eyes brightened.
Faur and Robio could both tell that Fali trusted Chen Zhao a lot.
Fali relaxed as soon as Chen Zhao arrived.
Faur stood up, while Chen Zhao sat on the edge of the bed.
Fali immediately hugged Chen Zhao. "Chen, you're finally here. I want to go home."
"Uh … Okay, let's go home." Chen Zhao looked at Faur, who looked back at him inquiringly.
She really didn't expect Chen Zhao to be dating her sister.
At least from the current situation, they definitely weren't just friends.
"Faur, I'll take Fali home first."
"Sis, I'll go see you tomorrow," Faur said.
"I'll drive you," Robio said.
On the way, Fali didn't say anything. She sat in the backseat with Chen Zhao and rested her head on Chen Zhao's shoulder.
Even when they got out of the car, Fali was still leaning against Chen Zhao.
"Robio's already gone. Stop pretending." Chen Zhao pushed Fali away in disdain.
