Chapter 2043: Chapter 2043: The Lady in Red
Xiao Zheng never expected that the reason for Mo Anna’s car accident was so strange and bizarre.
A red-clad ghost, an autonomously changing car air conditioner, and a strange song that emerged out of nowhere...
Everything Mo Anna is describing now seems like scenes straight out of a horror movie.
No wonder Mo Anna was so panic-stricken—anyone who encountered such a bizarre event would surely be scared half to death.
Xiao Zheng then held her hand and said, "Don’t be afraid, it’s okay. I’ll stay here with you. All the bad things have passed. Just treat what happened last night as a nightmare. Now that the nightmare is over, you’re alive and well."
"It’s fine, no need to be scared."
Hearing his reassurance, the panic on Mo Anna’s face faded a bit, but she still looked very pale and exhausted.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng then said, "Why don’t you rest for a while? Take a nap, and use this opportunity to give yourself a break. You’ve been busy with company matters lately and must be exhausted."
"Will you leave? Will you be gone when I open my eyes?" Mo Anna asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be at the hospital these days, even at night. Rest assured, I guarantee that whenever you open your eyes, you’ll see me."
Mo Anna finally felt relieved upon hearing his promise.
She then lay on the hospital bed and soon fell asleep.
Watching Mo Anna sleep, Xiao Zheng felt deep pity in his heart.
He leaned back in his chair and began to slowly contemplate some matters.
For some reason, Xiao Zheng had a sense that there was a touch of conspiracy behind Mo Anna’s car accident. It seemed as if someone was deliberately trying to harm her, including the red-clad ghost she mentioned.
As mentioned earlier, ghosts indeed exist, but normal people rarely see them.
Because they are a manifestation of a special energy, seeing them usually requires some physical anomaly causing extreme weakness, leading to the possibility of seeing ghosts.
However, Mo Anna is very healthy and also a Martial Cultivator, so she logically shouldn’t be able to see ghosts. Yet she encountered one last night and had an extremely close encounter with it.
This, in Xiao Zheng’s view, is very unusual.
It is precisely this unusual strangeness that fills his heart with suspicion about the accident.
"Forget it, I’ll wait until Anna is discharged from the hospital to say more."
"If the car accident was indeed someone maliciously causing trouble, they’ll likely make another move upon seeing Anna still alive. By then, I’ll be able to know if my suspicions are correct."
Xiao Zheng shook his head, then cleared his mind of distractions.
Perhaps finding staying in the hospital too dull, he decided to start cultivating.
However, at that moment, the feeling of being watched, which he sensed when paying the fee in the morning, reappeared!
Xiao Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that the hospital room still contained just the two of them!
The curtains had been drawn the whole time, and the door hadn’t been opened, yet the feeling of being watched remained real!
Xiao Zheng said nothing and silently walked to the door.
When he opened the door of the hospital room, he found that there were not many people in the hallway. Just three people—one doctor and two nurses, who were merely passing by.
"How strange, who could be hiding in the shadows?"
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly and glanced in both directions but found nothing.
As for that lurking feeling, it vanished in an instant.
Seeing no results, Xiao Zheng closed the door and returned to the room. He no longer concerned himself with these events, and upon closing his eyes, began cultivating right away.
When he awoke, it was already dark outside.
Mo Anna sat on the hospital bed, seemingly awake for a while, looking at him with a smile.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile too and asked, "When did you wake up? Why didn’t you call me?"
"I woke up an hour ago. Seeing how focused you were on cultivating, I didn’t have the heart to disturb you," Mo Anna said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng glanced at his watch and was surprised. "It’s already seven thirty. By the way, are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?"
"No need, I’ve already eaten," Mo Anna shook her head, "The nurse just brought a meal, and it was quite sumptuous."
Following the direction of her finger, Xiao Zheng spotted a pile of empty bowls and plates on the other bedside table. "Since you’ve had dinner, that’s a relief."
"Actually, it’s quite nice here in the hospital, with someone to take care of me," Mo Anna said with a smile. "By the way, Xiao Zheng, do you want something to eat? If you wait any longer, the restaurants outside might close."
"I’ll just order delivery. I said that during your hospital stay, I won’t leave your side," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Actually, he didn’t want to leave the room for another reason.
That was because Xiao Zheng worried that the assailant might seize the opportunity to attack Mo Anna again while he was away.
Although there was no direct evidence proving that Mo Anna’s accident was someone’s calculated manipulation, his keen intuition led him to believe that the incident was far from as simple as it seemed!
Mo Anna, unaware of his true intentions, felt very moved and said, "Xiao Zheng, I’m so glad you’re here with me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do."
"There’s no need for thanks between us," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Since he worried Mo Anna might get bored, he started chatting with her.
They talked about everything they could think of.
Time flew by amidst their conversations, and soon it was past one in the morning, and a sleepy tide overtook Mo Anna.
"If you’re tired, you should get some rest,"
Xiao Zheng said.
Mo Anna, barely able to keep her eyes open, mumbled something and then drifted off to sleep.
Once she was asleep, Xiao Zheng stayed busy.
He planned to create a design that night to see if he could lure the culprit out from behind the scenes!
