That calm expression made Ji Yuanyuan feel like he was awesome.
The two of them were not embarra.s.sed, so what was there for Ji Yuanyuan to be embarra.s.sed about?
She immediately smiled and thanked the boy before stepping into the elevator.
The ICU was on the fifth floor. Ji Yuanyuan pressed the b.u.t.ton for the fifth floor.
The elevator went up, and the mother and son stopped talking.
It was very quiet in the elevator. Ji Yuanyuan could clearly hear the sound of the wind in the elevator shaft.
Soon, the elevator reached the third floor.
Ji Yuanyuan made way for them at the door, and the mother and son quickly left the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly caught a glimpse of an ear stud on the floor.
Small, white pearl earrings.
It should be the woman’s. Although Ji Yuanyuan did not notice her earrings, she vaguely remembered that the woman had a pearl necklace around her neck.
Looking at the color, it should be a set.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly pressed the shut b.u.t.ton of the elevator. Then, she picked up the earring from the ground and chased after her.
“Wait, you dropped something.” Ji Yuanyuan shouted.
The mother and son walked very quickly and did not hear Ji Yuanyuan’s shouts.
In the blink of an eye, they entered one of the wards.
Ji Yuanyuan had no choice but to chase after her.
The ward was a three-person room, and there were many people inside.
patients, bed companions, and visitors.
The chaotic chatter inside drowned out Ji Yuanyuan’s knocking on the door.
Ji Yuanyuan had no choice but to push the door open and walk to the innermost bed.
She patted the woman’s shoulder.
The woman turned around, and the middle-aged man on the hospital bed appeared before Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned. She looked at the man on the bed and could not believe her eyes.
“Is there anything?” The woman saw Ji Yuanyuan’s stunned expression and called out in surprise.
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. Is this your ear stud? I found it in the elevator.
The woman subconsciously touched her earlobe and then reached out to take the ear stud from Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
“It’s mine. Thank you.”
After she took it, she put on the earrings.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was still looking at the man on the hospital bed, she asked tentatively, “You… Do you know him?”
She pointed at the man on the bed and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and smiled. “I don’t know him. I’m sorry. I’m a little curious.”
“What’s wrong with him?” she asked after a pause.
“He’s in the final stage of uremia,” the woman said casually. “He doesn’t have many days left.”
Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and tugged at the corners of her lips. “Helook quite young. What a pity.”
At this moment, the man who had been sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes met his.
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her entire body froze.
She was afraid that she would be recognized.
She didn’t know what kind of att.i.tude she would have if he recognized her.
However, Ji Yuanyuan was obviously overthinking.
The man on the hospital bed only glanced at her before looking away.
The man looked at the woman beside him and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I’m thirsty. Give me some water.”
The woman’s expression was a little impatient. “Water, water, water, how many times have I told you every day? You can’t drink water now. Don’t you know what’s wrong with you?”
The man’s expression was pained. “Give me some water. I’m too thirsty. Even if I die, it’s better than this…”
Ji Yuanyuan could not tell whether she was feeling disappointed or happy.
She turned around and left the ward.
The voice behind her continued.
Ji Yuanyuan walked out of the room. The boy asked the woman suspiciously, “Mom, don’t you think that woman is a little strange?”
The woman turned around and looked at the man on the bed.
The man shook his head. “I don’t know her. Give me some water. I don’t want to live anymore.”
Ever since he got sick, he had never been able to drink water to his heart’s content.
Now that he was about to die, he would just drink to his heart’s content.
He could die without regrets.
The woman rolled her eyes. “Are you trying to kill me? If you die, the police will probably come after me. When you’re alive, you didn’t let us live a good life. Even after you die, you didn’t want us to live a stable life, right?”
The woman had a fierce personality, and her mouth was very talkative.
The man stared blankly at the ceiling with an expression that was worse than death.
The boy lowered his head and continued playing games on his phone.
The people on the beds beside them were also talking to each other. They were already used to such scenes.
Ji Yuanyuan returned to the fifth floor. Qin Mucheng came up to her with Tang Tang in his arms. “Why did you take so long? Is everything alright?”
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously shook her head.
She opened her mouth and paused.
She looked up at Qin Mucheng and whispered, “Yes, there’s something.”
“What’s wrong?” Qin Mucheng asked nervously when he saw Ji Yuanyuan’s pale face. “What happened?”
Ji Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked to the other side.
Li Yong, Li Lei, Ji Zixuan, Li Xiang, and Li Nian were all there.
Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll call Big Brother over.”
Under Qin Mucheng’s surprised gaze, Ji Yuanyuan called out. “Big Brother, come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
Ji Zixuan got up and walked over in a few steps.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and covered Tangtang’s ears. “I met that person on the third floor just now,” she whispered.
Qin Mucheng and Ji Zixuan were dumbfounded.
Just as the two of them were about to speak, Tangtang, who was in Qin Mucheng’s arms, voiced out the question in their hearts. “Who’s that person?”
Tangtang’s voice was a little loud, and the few people on the other side looked over.
Looking at Tangtang’s big eyes, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly thought of her childhood.
At that time, when the adults talked about things, they always liked to cover her ears.
In fact, she could hear it every time, but she could only pretend not to understand.
She sighed helplessly and took Tangtang from Qin Mucheng.
Then, she walked in front of Li Xiang and Li Nian. “We have something to discuss. You two keep an eye on Tangtang. Don’t let her run around.”
Li Xiang quickly carried Tangtang over.
Tangtang instinctively wanted to struggle. Ji Yuanyuan pulled a long face. “Be obedient. Mommy will be back soon.”
Tangtang pouted and grunted in dissatisfaction.
“First Uncle, Second Uncle, you guys come too.” Ji Yuanyuan straightened up and looked at Li Yong and Li Lei.
Li Lei and Li Yong looked at each other in confusion.
Even so, the two of them still stood up and followed Ji Yuanyuan to the side.
Ji Yuanyuan turned her head and saw Li Xiang, Li Nian, and Tangtang staring at them curiously.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan looking over, the three pairs of eyes turned away in unison.
“I just picked up someone else’s things and met Ji Jianguo when I was sending them over.” Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and whispered..
