Chapter 169: 169 Evidence_1
Ding Yinuo was reluctant to leave.
He would occasionally check my ECG, adjust the IV tube.
When he saw the back of my hand a little swollen, he grabbed the hot water bag to apply on it.
He always took over when the nurse came to change my IV solution, afraid that others might hurt me.
The nurse joked with a smile,
“Doctor Ding, you’re so worried about her, is she your girlfriend?”
Ding Yinuo grinned, “What girlfriend? She’s my wife!”
“Oh, that’s why you’re so attentive, staying here days and nights without eating or sleeping, you’re such a devoted man.”
The nurse teased, and Ding Yinuo just smiled without answering.
Seeing that it was getting late, I urged him, “You should go home and rest.”
“I’ll stay with you tonight!”
“I don’t need your company, there is an on-duty nurse here. Besides, don’t I have a call bell here? I’ll ring it if I feel uncomfortable.”
“No, I’m not going anywhere!”
Ding Yinuo stubbornly sat on the chair without leaving.
I couldn’t persuade him, so I let him be.
He didn’t talk much; after nightfall, he moved a lounging chair, covered himself with a small blanket, and lay next to me.
In fact, I had been unconscious for many days and lying down all day. I wasn’t sleepy when night came.
Ding Yinuo didn’t sleep either. Instead, he shared stories about what happened during his student days.
“Do you know who was the most talked about among the boys in our class?”
“Jiang Jiaying?”
“Why her?”
“She was the class belle! She was the most beautiful girl in our whole class.”
“You’re wrong, it wasn’t her!”
“If not her, then who could it possibly be?”
“If I give you any more hints, you’d get it right away.”
“Maybe I’m a bit slow ”
“Of course, it was you!”
I turned my head, looking at Ding Yinuo, who was also lying on the chair, gazing at me with his long eyes, full of stars.
He gently stroked my cheek with his hand,
“Ayun, in this life, can I take care of you?”
Perhaps he was a bit tired, his voice sounded hoarse.
“Ding Yinuo, what are you thinking about? I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself!”
“You’re still being stubborn Ayun, your life wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
His eyes were still filled with the innocence of his youth.
“Yinuo, I’m a bit tired. Let’s go to sleep.”
Seeing how exhausted he looked, I really couldn’t disturb his sleep.
Upon hearing this, he closed his eyes, reached out a hand to pinch my face gently, then dropped it.
By the time I looked at him again, his breathing had become steady.
He fell asleep almost instantly!
He must be really tired!
I reached out to cover him with the blanket.
As I turned my head, I saw a figure standing outside the door.
It was Jiang Jiaying, with her arms folded, looking at me and then at the sleeping Ding Yinuo.
She then slowly walked over to me.
She cast a meaningful glance at me.
“I really can’t see what makes you, such kind of woman, so attractive to him!”
I smiled slightly, looking at her.
I was currently lying in bed, unable to move independently, and very weak.
Whereas she was in good health and the head of this hospital. Therefore, she seemed to deliberately target me at this moment, which felt a bit like bullying the weak.
She was still somewhat domineering, like the little bully she was back then.
As for me, I was no longer the vulnerable little girl I used to be.
I smiled at her,
“If you can’t see my strengths, perhaps it’s because you’re blind!”
Jiang Jiaying snorted,
“You have a sharp tongue, but unfortunately, it’s useless. I don’t care if I’m blind or not, but others aren’t. Look at you, no family background, no education, and no proper job. You’re not pretty, and your figure is just so-so. An ordinary girl like you is a dime a dozen on the street!”
I didn’t get angry after hearing that. Instead, I laughed and said,
“Yes! I am very ordinary indeed. But have you ever thought about this – he would rather have an ordinary woman than you. This means that you are even worse than an ordinary woman.”
“You!!!”
After saying that, Jiang Jiaying’s face turned pale.
After all, Ding Yinuo was still sleeping there. She didn’t dare to make a fuss and in the end, she looked at Ding Yinuo before turning around and leaving with resentment.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
The next morning.
When I woke up, Ding Yinuo had already left.
Only an empty chair was left beside me, with a neatly folded blanket on it.
It was around eight o’clock. Ding Yinuo must have gone to work. I suddenly longed to see him so much.
I wanted to know what he did every day at work.
I wanted to know how he interacted with patients every day.
I wanted to know whether he was tired from the surgeries every day?
I was actually not at all interested in medicine. However, when I saw a medical book on the bedside table, I picked it up and flipped through a few pages.
While I was reading, Gu Yuanzhou arrived.
I was somewhat surprised. It was so early in the morning and he was here already.
He was also holding several health supplements in his hand… I took a glance, there were premium bird’s nests, cordyceps, etc. It seemed that he was really willing to spend generously to visit me.
“How do you feel today?”
“I’m sorry to trouble President Gu to come and visit me personally!”
“This sounds a bit sarcastic. Do you have a lot of complaints in your heart?”
Gu Yuanzhou sat down in front of me.
“I wouldn’t dare, you’re the boss, I wouldn’t dare to offend you.”
In fact, I was seething with anger.
I almost lost my life this time, although he wasn’t the perpetrator, he has been covering for the criminal ever since.
So, naturally, I was not in a good mood.
I might not have had a pleasant chat with him.
After a few words, I said to him,
“I’m a bit tired, I don’t have the energy to talk to President Gu. I want to take a nap.”
After that, I closed my eyes and ignored him.
He just stood silently by my side.
We were in a stalemate for about ten minutes. Apparently, he realized that I was determined and didn’t urge me anymore.
“Don’t worry about your work, I’ll assign it to others. You focus on recuperation, I’ll come and see you again when I have time.”
I didn’t utter a word.
I listened as his footsteps slowly faded away.
After a while, I reached out and massaged my temples
Right then, Wenya came to see me. When she learned that the supplements on the table were brought by Gu Yuanzhou, she immediately threw them into the trash can.
“You better not eat any of his stuff, who knows if he’s poisoned it.”
“Speaking of poison, I still haven’t been able to bring the murderer who hurt my aunt to justice!”
“Didn’t you say the last time, to let Driver Ma identify the person?”
I did have such a plan, but I didn’t expect Ye Mengyan to act first and mess up my plan.
“Wait for a couple more days… I’ll get her once I’m better.”
