She couldn't believe it. How could this be? SARS … Of course she knew what SARS was, but why … Why would she be infected with this disease? She had been in this hospital all this time and hadn't come into contact with anyone. Why would she be infected with SARS?
She couldn't believe it. This must be a nightmare. It must be a nightmare. She was just having a nightmare. She believed that as long as she woke up, everything would be over. She would still be Bai Lu with a loving husband and a three-month-old baby in her stomach … She would be healthy. She couldn't have contracted SARS!
Yes, it was like that!
She reached out and pulled the blanket over herself. She kept telling herself, "Wake up. I have to wake up. This is a nightmare. Bai Lu, wake up quickly! This is just a nightmare … "
When Director Wu saw her like this, he knew that she was running away and refused to accept reality. However, this was to be expected. Not everyone could accept such a situation.
He wanted to say something else, but what else could he say? All he could say was the same few words. As an outsider and a doctor, he had said everything he could. As for the rest … he would leave it for the victims to say.
Director Wu took out the envelope from his pocket and gently placed it on the bedside table. Then he said to Bai Lu, who was still covered in the blanket, "Miss Bai, I know you can't accept this reality right away, but … I hope you can stay strong and pull through. There's a letter here that Feifan asked me to bring to you. He can't come in to see you because of your special condition. I think he must have a lot to say to you. It's all in this envelope. "
"Rest well. I'm leaving now. As long as your fever subsides, you'll be fine."
The door was closed with a click. Bai Lu widened her eyes in horror. She couldn't help but cover her ears with her hands.
Why … Why is everything so clear when I'm dreaming?
What Director Wu said, the sound of his footsteps, the sound of him closing the door … Everything was so clear. Was all of this really a dream?
Even her breathing and heartbeat were so clear. Could all of this really be a nightmare?
…
There was a voice in her heart that was telling her loudly, "Bai Lu, you know very well that you are awake now. This is not a dream. You have really lost your baby. You are now quarantined. You have contracted that terrible SARS. You could die at any time …"
Her heart twitched violently. There was a numbing pain that cut into her heart that was already riddled with holes. There was no way to stop it. She was in so much pain that her entire body felt uncomfortable. A part of her body had been forcefully gouged out. Only she knew what she had lost. But no matter how painful and uncomfortable it was, she didn't have the strength to stop it …
Who could save her …
Who was going to help her in such a terrible and dark situation? She really couldn't hold on by herself. She just closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, she felt like the whole world had abandoned her …
With the blanket covering her for a long time, she slowly found it difficult to breathe. Her body was already weak to begin with, and with the blanket covering her, she couldn't take it anymore. Her body instinctively lifted the blanket and struggled to sit up. Only then did she see a white envelope on the bedside table. She recalled what Director Wu had said earlier.
— — Liang Feifan. A letter for her?
She had a vague feeling that Liang Feifan would write her a letter. What was written in it? Was it something he wanted to say to her?
Bai Lu thought with some resentment. But what could she do even if she read it?
It was impossible for everything to return to the starting point. Her mother was still lying in the ICU, and her life was uncertain. And now, she had lost the most important thing to her and was even infected with SARS. Perhaps there were many people in this world who were more miserable than her, but right now, she really … couldn't control her emotions. She felt like the whole world was dark.
In the empty ward, she sat alone on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the bag of saline above her head. In the end, her tears fell uncontrollably, blurring her vision and blurring her entire world. Then, she stood up. As she coughed violently, she raised her hand and tore off the bag of saline. She clenched her teeth and tore off the IV drip on the back of her hand. Her movements were too big, and there was a certain amount of blood, but she didn't feel any pain. She threw the IV drip on the floor, stood up shakily, and stomped hard on the floor as if this was the only way to give her room to breathe.
However, her body was too weak. She only moved a little, but she could clearly feel herself falling. Bai Lu's body swayed. She reached out to hold on to something, but in the end, she couldn't control herself and fell to the side of the sofa. She sat on the cold floor in a daze. She hugged her head with both hands and finally cried out loud.
"… Baby, I'm sorry … I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well … When I fell asleep, they took you away … I'm sorry … Baby …"
Her tears were like pearls from a broken necklace, falling pitter-patter and landing on the back of her hand. The big teardrop was clearly silent and colorless, but it gave her a piercing pain. She felt as if she had been scalded, and her hand trembled. In the end, she raised her neck and let the tears fall from the corners of her eyes, melting into her hair. Some of them reached the corner of her mouth, and she stuck out her tongue to lick them. The corners of her mouth lifted into a bitter smile.
Who said that tears were salty? They were clearly bitter.
Liang Feifan turned over and got off the bed, panting heavily. He reached out to pinch between his eyebrows. When he saw Guan Chao standing silently at the entrance, he frowned. "When did you get here?"
"I just got here less than half an hour ago. I saw that Mr. Liang was resting, so I didn't want to wake you up."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"It should have been a few hours." Guan Chao stepped forward and handed some documents to Liang Feifan. He didn't waste any time and explained, "This is the information that Mr. Liang asked me to investigate. Li Chuning is definitely in an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Ziyue, and Zhang Ziyue used to be Ye Zijie's personal doctor. Although Ye Zijie has changed doctors over the years, Zhang Ziyue's achievements today are all thanks to Ye Zijie. This is his financial situation. "
Guan Chao pointed to one of the red folders. "Zhang Ziyue has an account in a Swiss bank. I've already sent someone to investigate. A few days ago, a huge sum of 8 million yuan was transferred to his account. But he's smart. He used his mother's account in his hometown to open the account. Coincidentally, when we were investigating, we also investigated his relatives. It was such a coincidence that he, an old man in his seventies, actually opened an account abroad. That was what made me feel strange. After some investigation, that was probably the case. "
Liang Feifan's eyes were gloomy. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and they were as sharp as a knife. "Who gave Li Chuning the money?"
"It wasn't Zhang Ziyue. He probably doesn't know. Li Chuning has a close friend. I sent someone to find her before, and it just so happened that the girl was in need of money. I gave her a sum of money, and she told me everything. Li Chuning didn't seem to know that someone had transferred two million yuan to her. That is to say, as long as she is obedient and helps Zhang Ziyue, Zhang Ziyue will divorce her and marry her. "
Liang Feifan reached out to press between his eyebrows. After a while, he nodded. "Send someone to keep an eye on these two people. Don't alert them for the time being."
Guan Chao nodded. "Yes, Mr Liang. I'll get it done."
Liang Feifan lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He put on his slippers and poured himself a glass of water. He raised his head to take a sip and said, "How's the situation at the company?"
Guan Chao glanced at him. The handsome man's face was expressionless. He was cold and didn't seem like a man who would fall in love with a woman. He sighed inwardly and reported the situation in a serious manner. "After we resumed working relations with Ye Corporation, we've started working on every project. The board of directors don't have much to say now. They're all very quiet."
Liang Feifan nodded. "You can go back. Help me call Buck. Tell him to postpone his trip to SGA for a few more days. Okay. "
"Yes."
…
After Guan Chao left, Director Wu came to look for Liang Feifan. He had been quarantined in this room for a few days. He could only see Guan Chao today after confirming that there were no abnormalities.
"Feifan, I've gone to see Miss Bai." Director Wu didn't dare to hide anything from Liang Feifan. He told him everything. "I've left the thing you asked me to give to her. I won't hide it from you. She's a little tense now, but I hope she can get through it."
Liang Feifan turned around, his back facing the floor-to-ceiling window. There were beautiful roses in the garden. He stared at the bright red flowers with a deep gaze. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was an unspeakable pain in them. His voice was hoarse. "… I understand. Thank you, Uncle Wu. Thank you for your trouble."
"Don't say that."
Director Wu felt that as the director of the hospital, he had to bear a lot of responsibility for the situation. After all, such a terrible disease had been contracted in his hospital. He sighed softly. "… Feifan, it's Uncle Wu's responsibility. I'm sorry."
Liang Feifan didn't say much. The so-called 'sorry' was the most powerless and hurtful words in the world. If Director Wu said sorry, he could accept it. However, if he said sorry to Bai Lu, would she be able to forgive him?
Director Wu didn't know when he left. Before he left, he told Liang Feifan that he could be discharged today. However, Bai Lu still had to stay in the hospital and be quarantined. Because he was still running a high fever, Director Wu patted his chest and promised that he would definitely give him a healthy Berserk Peach Luck Dragon.
Healthy?
