Chapter 13 - Revisiting The Hospital (2/2)
Chen walked back and forth in worry, holding his phone.
“Mr. Zhen.” The nurse at the front desk noticed Chen who was standing outside and hurriedly came out to welcome him. “Are you here to visit Mr. Bo? I’ll bring you there.”
“Ah? No …” Chen touched his temples. “I’m just passing by and just heard about his injuries so I decided to stop by to have a look.”
With an expression that showed she understood it totally, the nurse smiled at Chen and said, “Please follow me.”
Chen had a touch of his face, bowed his head and followed up.
After taking the elevator to the sixth floor, walking on the soundproof carpet through the long corridor, the nurse finally took Chen to the suite door at the end of the corridor, “Please, Mr. Bo is just inside.”
Judging from the nurse’s reaction, the old man was supposed to be not badly injured. Chen breathed a sigh of relief secretly and whispered to the nurse, “Thank you.”
After the nurse left, Chen stood there for a while more and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
There was no response for a while. Chen looked around, and then rang the doorbell instead.
The person who came answering the door was Bo’s assistant, who Chen had praised as very handsome. Chen did not know his full name. He only knew his surname was Yang.
Assistant Yang took Chen through a small living room into the bedroom.
In front of the sickbed stood two persons, a man and a woman. The woman was holding a pile of files in her arms while the man an Ipad. The man was buried in recording something on it as he listened to Bo.
Assistant Yang pointed to a single sofa on the side and whispered to Chen, “Please wait here for a while.”
Chen nodded, looking at the direction of the sickbed.
Bo spoke very fast, mixing some English names in his words from time to time. Chen only remembered words like “Rome”, “Old street” and “acquisition”.
Chen couldn’t help but sigh again for the benefit of being educated.
It would be fucking great to be both educated and rich.
After the man left, the woman stood in front of the sickbed for a long time. Chen overheard Bo call her Secretary Shue. After signing all the documents, Bo commanded some other things, and then let her leave.
With a clatter, the door was closed. There were only Qing Bo and Shi Chen in the ward.
Bo was previously blocked by Secretary Shue so Chen could not see him and could only listen to his voice. As soon as She left, he found his left arm in plaster. Chen was startled and hurried over, “Your arm …”
“It’s all right.” Bo asked him, “Get me a glass of water.”
Chen poured him a glass of warm water. “You’re already in this. How could it still be all right?”
Bo drank it up without breathing and returned the disposable paper cup to Chen. “So concerned about me?”
Chen squashed the paper cup and threw it into the dustbin. “Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not coming all the way just to visit you. I’m just passing by.”
“Thanks for passing by and coming to visit me.” Seeing that Chen was frowning over his injured left arm, Bo said with a smile, “No big deal. It’s just a fracture.”
Chen grew more serious, “How did you get into this?”
“A car accident.”
Hearing the words, Chen’s body quivered subconsciously.
Bo noticed it and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“… nothing.”
It's nothing. ”
It was also because of a car accident that Chen’s whole body was burned up. And somehow, Chen had taken over the body of another person. Well, that was fine. But now, he seemed to have grown an interest in that person’s husband.
Was Chen being too greedy?
Suddenly, Chen slapped on his own forehead, squatted down and was pulling his own hair crazily.
Bo was frightened by his sudden action. But the moment he was about to ask, Chen suddenly stood up again.
“You can still work, which means it’s truly no big deal. In that case, I’ll go back home first.” Chen finished his words fast and turned, preparing to walk out.
Bo called and stopped him, “You’re already here. Help me take a shower before you go.”
Chen turned around and said, “Haven’t you got your own hands?”
Bo pointed to his injured left hand.
Chen closed his eyes, “Go find someone else!”
“I don’t want anyone else. I only want you.” As if treating it as a matter of course, Bo boasted, “I’m your man.”
