Chapter 698: “Get Out, Get Out! Get Out…”
In s.h.i.+ne, the executives’ meeting, which resumed two weeks ago with the return of CEO Mo, was underway.
The meeting continued and a department chief stood in front of a screen, pointing to an enlarged PowerPoint file and making a presentation.
Although CEO Mo had returned, everyone could feel the atmosphere in the company became much more depressing. Everyone was very careful in front of CEO Mo. a.s.sistant Shen had told them that if they had any problem, contact the VP, him or the secretariat first, and if they could solve the problem by themselves, try not to disturb CEO Mo or go directly to the CEO’s office.
Before the end of the meeting, the cell phone he placed on the conference table began to vibrate.
Mo Jingshen glanced at the caller ID. Normally, if it was an insignificant call, he would not answer it in the company’s high-level meeting, but when he saw the call was from the Yu Garden, he immediately picked it up.
“Mr. Mo, Madam has woken up…”
——
Although Auntie Chen had told him what happened, Mo Jingshen didn’t expect Yu Garden to be in such chaos now.
“Madam, please come out. No one will hurt you here. Don’t be afraid. I’m Auntie Chen, Auntie Chen. Do you still remember me?”
“Madam, it’s too stuffy in the cupboard. Please come out…”
“Mrs. Mo, this is your home. Don’t be scared! Just come out!”
Auntie Chen and several other servants all stood outside the closet in the bedroom, facing the closed door and shouting nervously and worriedly.
“Madam will be suffocated if she goes on like this. Auntie Chen, let’s pull the door open,” Whispered one of the servants.
Auntie Chen hesitated and reached out to open the closet door. However, she opened the door only to see Ji Nuan curled up in the closet, buried her head in her lap and hugged herself tightly, as if badly terrified.
Seeing her like this, Auntie Chen lovingly bent down to coax her. “Madam… we…”
“Get out, get out! Get out…” Ji Nuan refused to look up, shrank her neck, and shrieked in a m.u.f.fled voice.
Afraid to frighten her, Auntie Chen quickly took two steps back.
Dr. Qin had told her that Ji Nuan might be in a bad state of mind when she woke up and asked them to be prepared for it.
Although they had been mentally prepared, they didn’t expect Madam to be like this…
Noticing that Ji Nuan’s shoulders had been shaking, Auntie Chen had to close the closet door again and carefully put a towel by the door to leave a small gap by the door lest Ji Nuan got suffocated inside.
Within twenty minutes after she called Mo Jingshen, he had sped home all the way from the s.h.i.+ne Group’s office building dozens of miles away.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw a mess on the floor. The quilt and pillow had been thrown on the floor, the stuff on the bedside table and other tables were mostly on the floor, the water had spilled all over the carpet, and Auntie Chen and the servants were standing around the closet door. He looked at the closet.
“Mr. Mo, here you are. Madam couldn’t recognize anyone and looked really scared after she woke up. We gave her water and food but she didn’t want any and had spilled the medicine and water. No matter what we said, she would not listen, then hid in the closet, and didn’t come out no matter how many times we called her…” Seeing Mo Jingshen come back, one of the servants quickly turned and looked at him for help.
Mo Jingshen hurried to the closet door and opened it, only to see Ji Nuan who had been in a coma for a long time sitting up, but at this moment, like a helpless kid, she was terrified of everything around her and huddled in a corner of the closet, trembling.
“Nuan Nuan.” Mo Jingshen bent over to carry her out, but Ji Nuan shrank into the corner of the closet when she heard someone open the door again and speak to her.
“Ji Nuan, it’s me.” Mo Jingshen had been mentally prepared as warned by Qin Siting, but now she seemed more than just mentally affected.
Auntie Chen told him on the phone that she had been hiding in the closet for nearly an hour and didn’t come out. He couldn’t let her go on like this, so he turned around and ordered. “Call Dr. Qin over.”
At the same time, he reached out and carried out Ji Nuan who almost curled up in a ball. She was frightened and immediately struggled and screamed in his arms, and he held her firmly in his arms and then turned to put her on the bed.
As Ji Nuan tried to break free from him, Mo Jingshen pulled the quilt Auntie Chen picked up from the carpet and wrapped it around her who was only in a thin nightgown. Then he pressed her against his chest and patted her on the back. “Don’t be afraid. This is Yu Garden. It’s very safe here. We’re all here for you. Don’t be afraid, OK?”
Perhaps Ji Nuan found his refres.h.i.+ng and clean body odor very familiar to her or his voice or words appeased her, she no longer struggled and gradually calmed down in his arms. Mo Jingshen looked down at her pale little face and stroked it, saying lovingly, “No matter what you’re afraid of, no one will hurt you here. Trust me, OK?”
She took a few quick breaths in his arms, clenched her hands into fists, and took a long time to draw herself into his arms as if she had been wronged. Then she asked hoa.r.s.ely, “What is Yu Garden?”
Hearing this, his eyelids twitched hard. The other servants had come out and only Auntie Chen stood beside the bed and looked at them with a worried face.
Mo Jingshen raised Ji Nuan’s chin with his hand and looked at her helpless eyes. “Don’t you remember?”
Ji Nuan looked at him in confusion, reached out to grab the collar of his s.h.i.+rt and stared at his face for a long time before she said, “I think I’ve met you before, but what’s your name…”
Her tone sounded different from usual, and her innocent and confused expression made him instantly feel depressed.
Dr. Qin hurried here as soon as he received the call, but when he arrived, he saw that Ji Nuan was in Mo Jingshen’s arms and that once anyone other than Mo Jingshen drew near her, she was scared and hid behind him.
Seeing her like this, Qin Siting immediately figured out what happened to her. “There are only dozens of cases of this disease in clinical medicine at home and abroad. Some of the blood coming out of the subarachnoid s.p.a.ce of the brain remains in the brain after the operation, and the patient will suffer from mental degeneration and mania and doesn’t recognize people, but the patient still remembers some people and things, although they can’t remember them clearly. This isn’t a big problem, but it’s not until the residual blood is absorbed by the brain that she will gradually return to normal. As for her recovery, if she receives drug therapy, she will recover within half a year at most and if it goes well, it will take only a week. Don’t worry too much. This absolutely can be cured.”
