Chapter 189 - Persuasion
Mu Chen sat by Song Ning"s bed. After he was done cutting up the apple into small pieces, he handed them to her.
Song Ning did not like fruits too much. It seemed like Mu Chen was trying to coax her into eating at least one apple a day. In the past, she was not very picky with her food, but she had gotten picky recently.
When Mu Chen saw Song Ning eating the apple with a frown on his face, he said with a smile, "The little fellow is really naughty. He or she isn"t as sensible or easy to coax like you…"
Song Ning rolled her eyes slightly, feeling embarra.s.sed. After a moment, she placed her hand on her lower abdomen and said, "I checked my pulse this morning; I feel fine. I wonder when I"ll be discharged…"
Mu Chen fed her another piece of apple as he said, "There"s no rush. I"ve applied for leave on your behalf from Professor Li. Jiahui and your two senior brothers have said that you should take care of yourself and that they"ll handle everything."
Song Ning smiled.
Mu Chen sighed. "You"re really popular. They"re willing to toll on your behalf whenever and wherever."
Song Ning said with a gentle smile, "I"m just lucky to have met good people…" After a moment, a frown appeared on her face as she asked, "How"s Ye Xin?"
Mu Chen"s smile vanished immediately. "I heard she"s safe now, but she"s still in the ICU. She also possessed the same blood type as you so previously there was a problem with a shortage of donors. After all, there are not many donors with the AB negative blood type in the city, and most of them had just recently donated to Ning Zhe. It took a while for the blood to be transferred here from the neighboring city."
When Song Ning recalled the fierce expression on Ye Xin"s face that day, fear rose in her heart. When she tightened a grip on Mu Chen"s hand, he could feel a thin layer of sweat. She said, "She"s crazy… She stepped on the accelerator as soon as she saw me. At that time, I was so scared that my mind went blank. I keep asking myself why; why was she driven to such insanity? Why do you think she"d do something like that?"
Mu Chen put down the plate in his hand. He had consulted a psychiatrist previously and knew that this incident would traumatize Song Ning. It was just that since she had regained consciousness, she had never shown signs of it. He tried to say rea.s.suringly, "Ningning, don"t be afraid. The most important thing is you and our baby are safe now…"
Song Ning was still lost in her thoughts. She muttered to herself, "Ye Xin and I originally had no intersection in our lives. Why did she choose the t.i.tle of "Little Ning Xia" when she debuted? I don"t really care since I have no interest in the entertainment industry. However, some fans definitely minded. Moreover, our paths are completely different. Does she not understand that the fans can build her up, but they can also tear her down? She"s really..." After a sigh, she continued to say, "I really didn"t expect her to hit Sister Yang publicly during the film festival. In fact, I didn"t even expect that she could fake doing charity. What was she thinking? Doesn"t she have a team and a management company? How could she have made such low-level mistakes?"
Mu Chen lifted Song Ning"s hand and kissed it before he said, "Silly girl, don"t bother thinking about other people"s matters. The most important right now is for you to take care of your health. In the future, you have to educate our child to be an upright and kind person…"
As though she did not hear Mu Chen"s words, Song Ning asked, "Did you say her blood type is also AB negative?"
Mu Chen"s heart skipped a beat. It was really hard to distract her. He nodded.
"You"re sure she has the same blood type as I do?" Song Ning asked again.
Mu Chen nodded. "I heard the nurse talking about it."
When Mu Chen recalled the nurses" conversation the other day, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease. However, he could not figure out why he would feel that way.
Song Ning muttered to herself, "How can there be such a coincidence? Not only do we resemble each other, but we even have the same blood type?"
Mu Chen quickly patted her hand. "Don"t think about her anymore; I"m getting jealous. I came to accompany you every day even though I"m exhausted, can"t you pay more attention to me?"
Mu Chen"s coquettish manner of speaking seemed to pull Song Ning back to her senses. She ate another piece of apple before she said, "I really think I"m fine now. Speak to the doctor and ask him when I"ll be discharged. With this, Grandma doesn"t have to run back and forth between the house and the hospital…"
"Okay! I"ll speak to the doctor later. Finish the apple, and I"ll push you out for a walk after this…"
"Alright." Song Ning readily agreed. She had been lying in bed for a long time now, making her feel restless and bored. Moreover, she was never one who could stay idle.
…
When Liang Zhou opened the door to Song Ning"s ward, she discovered Song Ning was not around. Therefore, she left quietly. However, when she pa.s.sed the nurses" station, she heard a woman speaking aggressively to the nurses.
"Where"s Song Ning"s room?"
A young nurse replied timidly, "I-I don"t know. I just started working here recently."
The woman turned around and made her way to the wards. It seemed as though she was going to go through the wards to look for Song Ning.
Upon seeing this, Liang Zhou was inwardly delighted. She calmly walked toward the woman and informed the woman of Song Ning"s ward number.
The woman did not even look at Liang Zhou and immediately rushed to Song Ning"s ward.
Meanwhile, the young nurse had lowered her head to call for security. When she lifted her head, she discovered the woman was gone, causing her to panic.
Bang!
All of a sudden, a loud noise reverberated through the entire floor, shocking everyone.
