Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Those who want to go back can’t go back. Those who don’t want to go back wake up and realize that it’s all just a dream…”
By the time Pei Huai found Su Ji, she had already been alone in the interrogation room for more than ten minutes.
Zhou Zicheng’s last sentence was like a demonic voice.
The more she tried to a.n.a.lyze the sentence, the more confused her mind became.
It was just a dream…
“What happened?” Pei Huai’s thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed. She did not look too good. He was worried that Zhou Zicheng had done something.
Su Ji’s vision gradually focused, and the blurry image before her eyes became Pei Huai’s familiar yet unfamiliar face.
When he held her hand, she felt a slight tremble. He pulled her into his embrace, and she felt her heartbeat from his strong body.
How could it be a dream when it was so real?
Her gaze fell on her empty wrist.
Therefore, there was still a possibility that she would go back.
It was just as she had expected, the worst outcome.
Pei Huai sent her back to the car and asked the armed soldier about the situation. The armed soldier guaranteed that Zhou Zicheng definitely did not touch Su Ji and only said some crazy things.
Her hands were very cold, so Pei Huai bought her a hot drink.
She stayed in the car for half an hour. After drinking an entire cup of hot drink, her face finally regained some color.
Su Ji turned her head and realized that Pei Huai had been looking at her, his lips tightly pursed.
She smiled. “It’s fine. I had some grudges in the past and was angered by his words.”
Pei Huai said, “let’s just kill him.”
He looked calm, but his tone did not sound like he was joking.
Su Ji turned around and looked out the window, feeling as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her heart.
Su Cunyi called at this moment.
Zhou Zicheng’s case had been carried out in secret from the beginning to the end. He did not know that the call this time was about something else.
He was also in a terrible state because of Zhang Guihua’s illness.
His mother had always been healthy. She had two regular checkups every year. The last one was very good, and all the data was within the normal range.
However, it had suddenly taken a turn for the worse some time ago. At first, it was just a cough, and the family doctor could not find any problems. Later on, she fainted and convulsed that day. She was sent to the hospital, and it was found that many organs showed signs of degeneration.
After being resuscitated, she still hadn’t come out of the ICU. Her condition worsened very quickly. After several examination results came out, they said there was nothing they could do. Su Cunyi remembered that his daughter had good medical skills, so he wanted to ask her if she had any solutions.
Su Ji listened to him talk about these things over the phone. She rested her elbow on the lowered car window and pinched the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows.
Pei Huai was also typing on his phone. His eyes were gloomy, and the temperature around him was very low.
He was making arrangements for Zhou Zicheng.
Su Ji had seen Zhang Guihua at the watch shop last time. She was not surprised when she heard that Zhang Guihua was hospitalized.
She did not have much interest in treating Zhang Guihua, but at this moment, she did not know how to face Pei Huai. She needed something else to occupy her chaotic mind.
Su Cunyi happened to be looking for her…
She placed the phone next to her ear and said, “alright, I’ll go over later.” Pei Huai glanced at her.
Su Ji hung up the phone. “Old Madam Zhang is hospitalized. It’s quite serious. My dad asked me to go and take a look.”
“I’ll send you off.” As he spoke, a call notification popped up on his phone. It was a call from Zhang Zheng.
“No need, I’ll go by myself.” Su Ji opened the door and got out of the car. “Do what you need to do.”
Pei Huai watched as she left. She hailed a taxi by the street and left.
His eyes darkened.
When Su Ji was about to reach the hospital, Su Cunyi was already waiting downstairs.
It was already night time. The sky was dark and the street lamps were lit.
At this time, the hospital was still crowded.
When the taxi arrived, he picked up his daughter and went upstairs to the ICU ward.
He was carrying a pack of dumplings in his hand. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I bought you the mutton dumplings you like.”
Su Ji stopped in her tracks and looked at the dumplings.
Mutton dumplings were not her, but Su Cunyi’s original daughter’s favorite…
When the elevator reached the first floor, Su Ji stopped thinking. “I’ll eat later.
We’ll talk about it later.”
The two of them entered the elevator.
Zhang Guihua’s room was in a separate location, not next to the other wards. It was quite quiet here.
When the doctor came over, Su Ji looked inside through the thick gla.s.s wall.
Zhang Guihua was half-leaning against the headboard. She still had that sharp and mean look on her face, but she looked very haggard. She wore an oxygen mask on her face, and Aunt Cui sat beside her. The two of them seemed to be talking, and the water droplets on the oxygen mask appeared and disappeared.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she took it out. Pei Huaifa asked if she had arrived at the hospital.
Everything was normal, just like how nothing had happened at the police station today.
Pei Huai also replied with an emoji.
The emoji was made from the stills of her TV series.
Pei Huai liked to collect everything related to her.
“Your grandmother’s condition started a few days ago. It’s very strange,” Su Cunyi said, trying to tell his daughter all the details he knew.
Su Ji did not hear much, but she could see through the oxygen mask that Zhang Guihua’s lips were purple and her glabella was green. It was very obvious from her expression.
The elevator rang again, signaling the arrival of the floor.
A doctor and two a.s.sistants, all dressed in white coats, were walking briskly.
After giving a few instructions, the doctor brought them into the ward.
Only then did Zhang Guihua notice Su Ji’s arrival. She glanced at Aunt Cui awkwardly.
Su Ji stuffed her hands into her pockets and did not greet her.
She still had the strength to roll her eyes, which meant that she could hold on for a while longer.
The doctor did not know Su Ji, but his two a.s.sistants did. On the way here, they had told him that Su Ji had some medical skills. Although he did not know which school she was from, she had indeed been on the news several times.
Even the experts were powerless to deal with the situation after discussing it. Normally, no one would count on a young lady who looked to be in her twenties.
However, this patient’s illness had indeed come too quickly, and they could not find the cause.
At this point, they’d try anything.
Su Cunyi patted Su Ji’s shoulder and went to comfort Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua turned her head to the side.
Su Cunyi said, “mom, don’t be like this. Let Su Ji take your pulse. Perhaps only she can save you now.”
Zhang Guihua still did not make a sound, like an old stubborn donkey.
Aunt Cui, on the other hand, was a completely different person. She moved a chair for Su Ji enthusiastically and coaxed her over to take the old lady’s pulse.
This was a matter of life and death.. As long as she could save the old lady, she would pray to the young miss!
