Chapter 18 The Face on Television

My face changed and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoyan?"

"Come here, come here quickly!!"

Cheng Xiaoyan's voice was full of trembling, as if something terrible was approaching her.

I didn't care about anything else. I rushed out with my phone in hand, while telling her to call the nurse immediately!

It's almost midnight and there are almost no people in the hospital. When I arrived at the infectious department, I found that the whole building was dark, as if there was a power outage .

There was no elevator available, so I had to climb the stairs.

Cheng Xiaoyan was in Ward 508 on the 5th floor. When I went up, the whole floor was completely quiet and I couldn't even see the nurse on duty.

I took out my cell phone to light the way, and before I even reached the door, I saw a figure in a blue linen shirt, with a hunched back and gray hair, walking out slowly with a cane and a hunched back.

Is she Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother?

I was stunned.

Suddenly, the old lady turned her head and looked at me.

It was too dark and I couldn't see her clearly.

But I could vaguely make out that she was smiling at me.

It was not a gentle smile, but a sinister sneer!

I felt an inexplicable fear, my whole body stiffened and I dared not move.

Cold sweat ran down my spine.

This feeling is like being stared at by a cobra, ready to pounce and bite me at any time.

Just an old man who doesn't understand why he is so scared.

But I still don’t have the courage to go over.

I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the old lady disappeared into the darkness.

Only then did I realize that my cuffs were soaked with sweat.

Snap!

The electricity came suddenly.

The entire fifth floor suddenly regained light.

"Hey, the electricity is coming?"

"It's really strange. The power went out for no apparent reason. Thank you for your hard work, Master."

I saw two young nurses and a man in electrician uniform walking over to the corner of the stairs, talking about the power outage.

I frowned, feeling that the power supply was strange. It didn't seem like it was fixed by an electrician, but rather that it was restored automatically after the old lady left...

I didn’t know why I had such a strange thought. I didn’t think much about it and turned and walked into Cheng Xiaoyan’s ward.

The girl curled up in bed, her face pale, clutching the quilt tightly. Like a frightened little white rabbit, she looked around nervously, her body trembling.

Seeing me coming, the fear in Cheng Xiaoyan's eyes lessened a lot. She jumped off the bed and hugged me.

I patted her on the back and asked, "What happened?"

As if realizing that she was a patient, Cheng Xiaoyan quickly left my arms and a blush crept up on her face.

"My...my grandma just came."

“Yes.”

Cheng Xiaoyan widened her eyes and asked, "You...you saw my grandma?"

"Yes, it's an old lady. Isn't she just walking out of your ward?" I didn't understand why Cheng Xiaoyan was so nervous.

Cheng Xiaoyan bit her lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

I asked her what was going on?

After a long while, she slowly said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Why do you want to apologize to me? Although it's working hours now, it's not a big deal to come over." I said with a smile.

"No, that's not it. I mean, I shouldn't have let you come here... If you didn't come, you wouldn't have run into my grandma." Cheng Xiaoyan was a little speechless. "Zhiyong, thank you. You can go back."

I was completely confused by her.

What happened to meeting her grandmother?

The old man is not a monster, can he eat me?

After a few words of comfort, I left the infectious department.

…

Back in the lounge of Building D, I sat on the sofa and watched TV absentmindedly, still thinking about Cheng Xiaoyan’s frightened look and that old figure.

It can be seen that Cheng Xiaoyan seems to be very afraid of her grandmother .

Although I didn’t understand why, I felt really scared when the old man came out.

Maybe it's a psychological effect?

This is how I comfort myself.

I looked at the time. It was past one in the morning. It was almost time for patrol.

When I was patrolling on the fourth floor, I heard a heated argument. I hurried over and saw that it was the new fat nurse arguing with the old man.

We went over to find out more and found out that the old man was probably not feeling well. Knowing that a nurse had come to Building D, he used the pager to call the nurse and explained that he was not feeling well. The fat nurse became very impatient and asked the old man to make a fuss in the middle of the night. Wasn't it normal for him to be sick and feeling unwell?

The old man had a bad temper, and the two of them started arguing as soon as they disagreed.

"What's with your attitude? Why would the hospital hire a wicked woman like you?" the old man yelled angrily.

"What attitude? The attitude towards patients. Stop accusing me and thinking I'm evil. Stop yelling. It's the middle of the night, don't people want to rest?" The fat nurse replied rudely like a shrew.

"you--"

"What do you mean by you? You old fool, you are already old, but you still come here to be a parasite. If I were you, I would definitely find a place to hang myself secretly. Isn't it shameful to live such a long life and still eat and drink for free?"

I rushed over, grabbed the fat nurse by the collar, and said in a cold tone: "Say it again?"

"You, what are you doing? Let me go!" The fat nurse was startled. When she saw it was me, her attitude became domineering again. "I'm telling you, the vice president is my brother-in-law. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will definitely make you pay for it!"

I narrowed my eyes, and there seemed to be an unknown fire in my heart, burning fiercely and unable to be suppressed.

Not to mention that doctors have a kind heart, this bastard - is advising people to die?

What on earth did she take the patient for?

"I don't care who your brother-in-law is. If you treat patients like this again, believe it or not, I will put you, this sow, in a pig cage?" I snorted coldly.

When the fat nurse heard the word sow, she became extremely angry and started to curse at me with a mouthful of swear words.

"Forget it, Dr. Tian. Don't bother with her."

When the old man saw that something was wrong, he hurried over to pull it over.

He was a victim, but now he has become a persuader.

I let the fat nurse go. She was not very brave and ran away directly, but she still turned back and cursed at me.

This kind of quality really brings discredit to the hospital.

I was in a bad mood, so after chatting with the old man for a while, I went back to the lounge.

I was totally sleepless and was troubled by many things. In addition, the hospital hired such an "unreliable" colleague. I wanted to complain, but when I thought of her words "the vice president is my brother-in-law", I finally gave up the idea.

After watching a TV series for a while, the screen suddenly began to flicker.

Then, strings of white snowflakes appeared...

"What a damn TV!"

I walked over angrily and slapped it hard.

This TV often has problems. Whenever Liu Bin watched football games in the past, he would get so angry that he would jump up and down and curse.

You know what, this shot really has a miraculous effect.

The TV flickered a few times, and then the picture returned to normal.

As soon as I turned around, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because the picture on the screen was not the TV series just now, but a dark and gloomy scene.

As the camera moves, you can see a few white beds, bumpy walls, and a row of gray cabinets...

I picked up the remote with a frown and pressed it a few times, but there was no response.

Snap!
