After the nurses left, Ruan Xueling held Gu Yang’s arm and said, “So there’s someone next door. I saw that the door of the ward next door was almost closed, so I thought there was no one inside.”
Gu Yang’s mind raced. She recalled that Xiao Yize’s vegetative mother was also hospitalized in the VIP ward of the military hospital’s neurosurgery department.
According to Big Shot Sister, she had suffered a psychological blow due to an accident and was mentally unstable.
Xiao Yize had asked Big Shot Sister to treat his mother’s mental illness, but with Ruan Xueling’s accident and the ensuing family busyness, addressing this issue was postponed.
Given the nurses’ description, it seemed likely that she was the one who had escaped from the ward.
As Gu Yang pondered this, Ruan Xueling suddenly shook her arm excitedly and exclaimed, “Yangyang, look, there’s a big orange cat! Oh my god, it’s so fat!”
Gu Yang snapped out of her thoughts. When she looked in the direction Ruan Xueling pointed, she saw nothing.
“It just went into the bushes.”
Ruan Xueling gestured for quiet, pulling Gu Yang closer to the golden-edged boxwood bushes by the roadside.
Golden-edged boxwood bushes, waist-high, separated the forest path from the green lawn.
Gu Yang led Ruan Xueling to the bushes and peered down, only to be stunned by what she saw.
A woman in a hospital gown was squatting behind a bush, petting a cat.
The cat was the super fat orange one Ruan Xueling had spotted earlier, now lying comfortably beside the woman and squinting in contentment.
Sensing their presence, the woman looked up, meeting Gu Yang and Ruan Xueling’s astonished gazes.
Ruan Xueling was taken aback. The woman was stunningly beautiful, with fair skin and a gentle, elegant demeanor.
Noticing the blue hospital wristband on her wrist, Ruan Xueling reacted. “Are you the person they were looking for just now?”
“Shh.” The woman raised her index finger to her lips, urging silence. She blinked at Ruan Xueling and spoke softly, “Can you please not tell them?”
Ruan Xueling nodded dazedly.
With a smile, the woman lowered her head to resume petting the cat.
Sensing Ruan Xueling’s confusion, Gu Yang raised her eyebrows slightly. “Are you a hypnotist?”
The woman was slightly taken aback. She looked up in surprise, meeting Gu Yang’s smiling face.
Observing the compliant and gentle demeanor of the girl before her, she suddenly felt a shift in her perception. The cat beside her didn’t seem as pleasant anymore. Slowly standing up, she reached out to gently rub Gu Yang’s head, smiling faintly. “You’re so adorable.”
Gu Yang was momentarily taken aback. As she met the woman’s smile, she felt a strange sensation creeping over her.
Was she trying to hypnotize her?
Tilting her head, the woman continued to smile at Gu Yang, her expression gentle yet mischievous. “Little cutie, you won’t tell those mean people where I am, will you?”
Gu Yang suppressed her unease and maintained her composure. “They’re nurses, not mean people. They’re looking after you.”
Withdrawing her hand from Gu Yang’s head, the woman glanced at the wristband on her own hand. Indeed, she was the patient from VIP Ward No. 1.
Her name, Tong Wan, was written on the wristband. Tong Wan then stubbornly retorted, “They are mean! They’ve locked me up and won’t let me leave. They won’t even let me see my daughter!”
“They must have hidden my daughter. I’m going to find her!”
Gu Yang frowned slightly. It was evident to her that Tong Wan was mentally unstable.
She recalled what she had heard from Big Shot Sister about Tong Wan’s painful experience of losing her daughter. It seemed that Tong Wan had only recently regained consciousness and was struggling to accept her current reality.
