Chapter 1316 Strange People
"But don't be unhappy. I'll come and keep you company after I finish my meal."
Mu Ning held Zhuang Shiyuan's hand and breathed on it, finally warming it up. Even vegetative patients have temperature. After Mu Ning's temperature returned to normal, she rubbed Zhuang Shiyuan's palms and gently massaged his arms. The doctor said he needed regular massages because, after lying down for so long, Zhuang Shiyuan's muscles had begun to atrophy, an ominous sign.
So Mu Ning now spends time in the hospital whenever she has time, and gives him a massage after sitting for a while.
Mu Ning originally had some strength, and now she was even stronger. She could turn Zhuang Shiyuan over by herself with some cleverness and take good care of him.
Mu Ning was so tired that she was panting. She pinched Zhuang Shiyuan's thigh and then the sole of his foot. After that, she lay on him to rest.
"Have you slept enough? If you have, get up quickly. You've been enslaving me all day long. That's really too much." Mu Ning pinched Zhuang Shiyuan's nose. "Does it stink? I just pinched your foot, haha..."
The doctor said that Zhuang Shiyuan had hearing. Mu Ning thought that it was stimulated by singing in front of him every day, because this girl had a high pitch.
"I know you can hear me. Don't say I'm disgusting to you. Hurry up and get up or I'll tease you." Mu Ning talked to herself. Fortunately, Hu Niu was not a dull person. She could talk to herself for a whole day. If it was Shi Yuan's mother, she would never say such things.
Mu Ning has taken care of Zhuang Shiyuan for so long, and she never stops talking every day.
Zhuang Shijue followed Mu Ning to the hospital and stood outside the ward, his eyes cold and indifferent as he watched the woman inside chatting and laughing. How could he believe that a woman who looked like a fox had no desires or demands? Was she just willingly caring for her older brother, who was already half dead, out of affection?
Whenever family members mentioned Zhuang Shijue, they would laugh, sneer, and sneer. What era is this? How could my parents still be so naive?
My eldest brother has only been bedridden for a few months. If a person is cunning, what does a few months of disguise mean?
Zhuang Shijue turned and left, just thinking of hiring a special person to take care of him. It costs money to hire someone to take care of him anyway.

Spring comes and winter goes, year after year passes peacefully, and another early summer is here. The air this morning is particularly fresh.
But Seventeen has been feeling a little unwell these days and has been feeling a little dizzy. After attending the morning meeting at the hospital, he rested in the office.
As soon as I sat down on the chair, all the chaotic fragments of my nightmares from last night came flooding back.
Seventeen propped his elbows on the desk, his hands supporting his head. He felt dizzy again, frowning and closing his eyes to cushion the dizziness. However, without warning, the eyes in his dream suddenly appeared and opened abruptly.
"what--"
Seventeen suddenly sat up and opened his eyes in an instant, breathing rapidly as he looked at the familiar office, his heart beating rapidly. His hands were shaking, and after a long moment, he gently pressed his chest. It wasn't real, it was an illusion, just an illusion.
He exhaled slowly, rubbed his hair randomly, and then straightened it. He lowered his aching head and picked up the water cup on the table.
However, when she entered the office, the water cup was still empty and lying upside down on the table. At this moment, the cup was filled with hot water, yes, warm water!
Seventeen's fingers, already touching the cup, trembled twice, a fear deep within her soul. The next moment, she quickly drew back, staring at the still steaming cup of water for a second before she stood up and glanced quickly around the quiet office.
She was very sure that there was no one in the office when she came in. The office was visible at a glance, so even if there was someone, where could they hide?
Where does water come from?
Seventeen bit her lip and pressed her head, knowing that something was not right with her recently. She didn't sleep well at night and felt dizzy the whole next day. At times like this, people are very vulnerable.
Seventeen held a syringe in her hand, having no other weapon around. The syringe was hidden in her loose white cuffs. Her office was divided into two areas: the office space and the lounge area. The lounge area was used for receiving important clients or friends, but more often it served as her personal retreat.
Between the two spaces stood a low, solid wall, only about 80 centimeters high. Above it were hollow partitions, compartmentalized to hold medical books, fashion magazines, antiques, and other decorative items. Through the hollowed-out sections, one could clearly see into the adjacent lounge.
Seventeen glanced at the still closed office door, then walked step by step towards the lounge.
The lounge, which was not too wide, came into view bit by bit. The corners, sofas, coffee tables, counters, tea sets, and everything along the wall were all quietly placed in place.
nobody!
"call--"
Shiqi Ti Lao Gao's heart relaxed, he let out a long breath, and his hand, which had almost crushed the syringe, loosened a little.
She tried to relax herself, thinking she was just too nervous. Perhaps, someone just came in and poured her a glass of water while she was taking a nap, so it was nothing to worry about.
Seventeen walked back to his desk and put the syringe back into the box.
"Knock Knock-"
There was a knock on the door, and the next moment Xu Yue's voice rose, "Dean, the report you requested is ready."
"Well, come in." Seventeen wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Dr. Xu who came in. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay," Doctor Xu put the report on the table and left without saying anything. "Director, you're busy. I'll be out first."
"Ah."
Seventeen watched the door close and subconsciously reached out to pick up the water cup, but then he paused and put the cup down again, still feeling apprehensive. When he looked up, he saw someone standing outside the door, wearing a baseball cap and lowering his head. Seventeen only saw the black top of the cap.
Black baseball cap——
The images in the dream quickly flooded into his head. Seventeen was startled and his hands began to tremble again, but he ran out quickly the next moment.
He held the door handle and opened the door quickly. There was no one outside except Dr. Xu who had already walked to the stairs. Seventeen stood by the door and watched Xu Yue go downstairs without any disturbance.
"Did you see it wrong?"
Seventeen asked himself, patting his head, what happened recently?
The phone in the office suddenly rang, startling Seventeen. The shrill ringtone was particularly piercing in the quiet space.
Seventeen took a deep breath, paused, then walked in and answered the phone. Fortunately, it was Qi Yao calling.
"Aren't we going into the operating room soon?" Seventeen asked softly.
A low, hoarse voice came from the phone, "Well, wait for me for lunch at noon."
"I'm hungry, so I won't wait for you. You won't be done until after one o'clock, right?" Seventeen smiled and said that Qi Yao had three operations in the morning, one of which was a minor operation, and the other would take some time.
"I put some biscuits in your bag. You can fill your stomach when you are hungry. You must wait for me to eat today." Qi Yao's tone was a little tougher, but still gentle.
