Chapter 1693: Chapter 1679
Wen Zaao didn’t expect Chu Ge to do this, and a warm current slowly flowed through her heart. She gently pressed her lips together and said to Chu Ge, "Thank you."
Chu Ge was a bit surprised, "Why are you suddenly being so polite?"
Wen Zaao smiled, "It’s appropriate."
She took the thermos from Chu Ge’s hand, went out the door, got the things from Zhou Ang’s house, and then returned to the hospital.
When she arrived, the nursing lady was eating. Seeing her coming, the lady hurriedly explained, "Lady Wen, I didn’t leave my post without permission, this meal is takeaway."
Wen Zaao looked at her nervous appearance and smiled slightly, "It’s okay, it’s meal time now, it’s not good to be late. By the way, I also brought some food, come over and eat together."
The lady was straightforward. After Wen Zaao called her, she sat down next to Wen Zaao without being reserved. Looking at the abundance of dishes Wen Zaao brought, she couldn’t help but praise, "Lady Wen, did you make all these? Your cooking skills are too good! Mr. Zhou is really lucky."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of food and started eating.
Wen Zaao was a bit stunned. If she hadn’t misunderstood the nursing lady, she seemed to suggest that she and Zhou Ang were a couple?
"Madam, you might have misunderstood. Brother Zhou Ang and I are not a couple."
Wen Zaao explained quietly.
The nursing lady looked at her in surprise, "You’re not a couple? I thought you were."
Wen Zaao awkwardly waved her hand, "We’re not."
The nursing lady was also carefree. After she responded with an oh, she started eating again, praising, "These dishes are really delicious. Lady Wen, your skills are really good."
Wen Zaao slightly lowered her gaze, her lips carried a hint of a smile, but this smile was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
She didn’t tell the lady that she didn’t make the dishes. Her mind was all on Zhou Ang now, and as the lady rambled on, Wen Zaao seemed to block it out, not hearing a word.
Once they were almost done eating, the lady took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes. The room was left with only Wen Zaao. She walked to the bedside, quietly looking at the lying Zhou Ang, her heart mixed with emotions.
The state Zhou Ang was in, she had an inescapable responsibility, but the guilt could never cover the fact that Zhou Ang’s father killed her father.
She couldn’t be indifferent, couldn’t face Zhou Ang calmly.
Now she could stand in front of Zhou Ang so well entirely because of the guilt, because Zhou Ang had come back from the Ghost Gate.
She knew very well, the grievances between the previous generation shouldn’t involve theirs, but she couldn’t get past it. She needed time.
After a while, the nursing lady returned from outside, she scanned the room, then asked, "Lady Wen, are you going to stay here tonight?"
Tonight was very dangerous for Zhou Ang. If he could get through tonight, he would safely pass the critical period.
Wen Zaao nodded, "I’ll stay here and wait for him to get through the critical period."
The nursing lady responded, "Then I’ll pack up some things. It’s early spring now, and it’s still a bit cold at night. Don’t catch a cold."
As she spoke, she went out again, not knowing where she got a blanket and pillow, and then said to Wen Zaao, "Lady Wen, this blanket and pillow are mine. The covers are just changed and very clean, you can make do with them."
Wen Zaao nodded, "Thank you."
Seeing Wen Zaao’s somewhat gloomy face, the nursing lady couldn’t smile either. She sighed and said, "Don’t worry, Lady Wen, Mr. Zhou is blessed by Heaven and will safely pass the critical period."
After a night of torment, Wen Zaao hardly closed her eyes. She was always paying attention to Zhou Ang’s movements.
Until the next day, when the doctor came to work, checked, and told her that the critical period had been safely passed, only then did she relax a bit.
The doctor also said Zhou Ang could wake up at any time, so Wen Zaao packed her things.
Actually, there wasn’t much to pack. She only brought a thermos when she came yesterday.
"Auntie nurse, I have to go to work today. I’ll go back now. If there’s anything, just call me, but don’t call the number I gave before."
Zhou Ang’s mother was still out of town, and if she knew about Zhou Ang’s hospitalization, she wouldn’t be able to come back immediately and would only add trouble.
The nursing lady responded, watching Wen Zaao leave.
Two hours after Wen Zaao left, Zhou Ang slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was pure white. He was stunned for a while, his mind blank and unable to think. After a while, he realized he was in the hospital now.
He turned to look at the busy figure beside him, opened his lips, but found his throat too dry to speak.
Thankfully the nursing lady’s ears were sharp, and she heard the movement and quickly turned to look at Zhou Ang. Seeing he was awake, she hurriedly went up and asked, "Mr. Zhou, you’re awake? How do you feel?"
While asking, the nursing lady also pressed the call button, and in no time, the doctor came over, "Doctor, Mr. Zhou is awake."
The doctor did a series of tests and finally nodded, "There’s no longer a threat to life."
Zhou Ang’s eyes contained a bit of doubt. What happened to him? Who sent him to the hospital?
He vaguely remembered going to find Wen Zaao, then having a disagreement with her, and then driving back home.
On the way back...
Zhou Ang’s head hurt a bit. He wanted to raise his hand to rub his temples, but found his arm had no strength.
"Mr. Zhou, your body is still very weak now, it’s best not to move."
The nursing lady poured Zhou Ang a glass of water, inserted a straw, and handed it to him, "Have some water."
Zhou Ang felt a bit awkward about her caring, but here and now, he couldn’t just let himself die of thirst. After drinking some water and moistening his throat, he finally managed to speak.
"Who sent me to the hospital?"
Zhou Ang asked in a hoarse voice.
The nursing lady shook her head, "That person only said his surname was Ren, nothing else. But this person was very kind, not only paid for your medical bills but also hired a nurse. If it wasn’t because your heart condition relapsed, I would have thought that person was the culprit."
In today’s world, people are indifferent, and Zhou Ang was secretly grateful, grateful that he could meet a good-hearted person.
"Mr. Zhou is blessed and destined for great things in the future!"
The nursing lady added.
Zhou Ang’s gaze slightly darkened. Great things? He doesn’t wish for any great things; he only wants to safely find Wuling Mountain and unravel the mystery of their father’s disappearance back then!
