“I, I don’t know…” The nurse pulled her hand away and quickly left the ward with the medicine tray.
Zuo Weiyi collapsed on the hospital bed as she watched the nurse leave in a hurry. It was as if a huge hole had been dug in her heart, and she was in so much pain that she could not breathe.
“Plane crash… body… what happened…” Zuo Weiyi started muttering to herself.
She looked up at the LCD TV on the wall. Her mind suddenly remembered the day she wanted to watch TV, but her mother-in-law and Nuannuan had taken away the remote control from her hands. Now that she thought about it, even if she couldn’t watch TV, surely there was no need for such an overreaction.
She suddenly stood up to look for the remote control.
Although it had been five days, it was inevitable that her wound would hurt when she made any drastic movements.
As soon as she got out of bed, her brows furrowed in pain!
Where was the remote control? She wanted to switch on the TV!
If what the nurse said was true, Shi Yuting had truly been in an accident. And even if she was in Z Country now, there should have been news reports everywhere.
She searched the entire VIP ward but could not find the remote control. Could it be that Nuannuan and her mother-in-law had hidden the remote control? Did they not want her to watch TV?
Why? Why did they hide it from her? What happened to Shi Yuting?
Tears poured down like a dam that had been broken, swallowing her heart in pain and despair.
Finally, she found the remote control in a drawer. She turned on the TV, and it immediately showed a news report about Shi Yuting being attacked and ending up in a plane crash.
“After searching for the past few days, the current president of C Country, Shi Yuting, is still missing and his fate is still unknown. Other than the bodies of his eight bodyguards, his and his personal assistant’s bodies have yet to be found at the location of the incident. The matter is still under further investigation…”
The remote control in Zuo Weiyi’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
It finally made sense, the recent behaviour of Nuannuan and her mother-in-law, her grandpa’s sudden trip to C Country and her grandfather’s relapse. These were all to protect her.
She gripped her chest tightly feeling as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows. Her heart was in so much pain that she could not breathe.
Her weak body slowly slid down. If it were not for the round table beside her, she might have collapsed completely.
She tried using the table for support, but her heart throbbed too painfully.
She slowly bent down and cried out loud. Her slender body trembled helplessly as she sobbed. Her tears slid down her face like beads.
Through her blurry vision, she caught a glimpse of the broken remote control on the ground. She reached out weakly, picked it up and replaced the battery. Then, she flipped through all the channels reporting Shi Yuting’s incident, but none of them had stated that Shi Yuting was still alive.
She bent over and cried out again.
Hardly anyone passed by the VIP ward, so no one would have heard her cries. That was exactly what Weiyi needed.
Shi Nuannuan, on the other hand, had to go to the lower floor to get warm water as there were no such facilities on the VIP ward floor.
Since it was still morning, there were also many other people fetching water. She had to wait for a long time before she managed to return to the VIP floor with the Thermos.
On her way back to Weiyi’s room, she passed by the nursery and couldn’t help but want to take a look at the two little fellows because she thought of them. So she walked in.
