Chapter 41: Lost balance (1/2)

People's Hospital

”Why did you ask me to bring you here? Do you have someone admitted?”

”No-no…” Drenched in water from top to toe, Suyin jumped off the bike as if she was sitting over a hot pan all this while.

Damn! She'll never get used to the sway of the bike…. It's making her feel dizzy.

She took off the helmet and gave it back to Fei Hong, pushing the sticky wet hair strands off of her neck with the other hand. ”I know someone who works here; he borrowed my car this morning.”

Suyin didn't take Wang Shi's name on purpose. He was a noble figure in the city, and anything can lead to rumors damaging his reputation. Besides, it's not required for a stranger to know for who she's here.

”Oh! Then I'll take my leave. Don't forget about the interview…. Bye….” Fei Hong accelerated dramatically, thrusting the bike forward; which scared Suyin who took three steps back as she saw Fei Hong leaving in a blink of an eye.

Suyin stilled herself before turning to the building; her gaze fell on the glass reflection to see her smeared liner and mascara, bedraggled wet hair sticking all over her neck and shoulder… for a second she thought of the scary ghost of the horror movie 'grudge'.

Great! Brilliant! She's going to meet the hot-shot beauty with this scary look.

Could it get any worse!?

As soon as she entered, her wet skin touched the air-conditioned air, and she hugged her blazer close.

”Hey, Suyin…” The head nurse Miya was at the reception for some work when she saw Suyin and approached her enthusiastically. ”Oh, dear! You are soaked. You better change first.” She looked at water dripping on the floor, receiving weird looks from everyone.

”Thank you, but it's unnecessary. I'll leave in a short while. Could you please give Dr. Wang a call? My phone's not working anymore.” Suyin tried to avoid being dragged inside by the head nurse, but the latter had more strength.

Wuxiaworld for visiting.

”I will. But before that you should change, beware, not to catch cold.”

”B-Bu….. Atichooooo…..”

”Tch…Look… it started already. I'm not listening to you. Be respectful to this old grandma,” Nurse Miya was in her mid-forties with a tall bun and a warm smile. She was holding a tab in her hand, a stethoscope and a pen flashlight in her pocket; that's her weapons throughout the day.

”No… I insist. I'm not being disrespectful, but I have very important work to do at home. Please call Dr. Wang .” Suyin wanted to solve Gu Feng's case ASAP. That kid was already running against time, any more delay, and he might lose everything. And if that happens, his powerful parents might come after Wang Shi and blame him.

Seeing her worried, Miya sighed….

”Dr. Wang is at the VIP floor. Let me take you there,”
