Chapter 17: The Mystery Visitor
Since I knew that Ru Hua had been unconscious in Ward 707, I hired a nurse, but Jiang Nan refused, on the grounds that Ruan Yang was still hiding in Ru Hua's room and couldn't make any extraneous branches, and as for why Ruan Yang was hiding in Ru Hua's room, Jiang Nan said that it was to prevent Yu Huai from coming to rob her relatives again. Although the reason is absurd, it is indeed a reason, I don't want to delve into it, and Jiang Nan doesn't seem to want to say it explicitly.
As for the daily care of Ru Jing, who I care about, he said that he will arrange for Zhang Yan's girlfriend Li Xiao to be in charge, and she is also a nurse in the hospital, so it will be more professional, more convenient and more credible. I also think it's okay for this, no matter what kind of person Jiang Nan is, I've seen Xiaoxiao, but she is an enthusiastic, simple and kind girl, as for whether it is Zhang Yan's girlfriend, I don't dare to be sure, because Zhang Yan obviously values brothers more than women, of course, it may be that I really don't understand how to get along with couples.
Xiaoxiao is indeed a good nurse, she will help Ru Jing wipe every day, massage, change dressings, and even sometimes tell about recent news events, tell interesting stories about patients she has met, and occasionally even complain about Zhang Yan's incomprehensible style. For me, a visitor who only stands at the door and watches, I don't forget to relay 1510 to Ru Jing. I am very happy and touched by this. For some of the previous misunderstandings about medical staff, I gradually felt that I was one-sided.
I went to see Ru Jing every morning before I went to work, and brought her a bouquet of flowers, so that her quiet, lifeless room had some color of life. Then go back in the evening to see if she's having a good day. Hopefully she'll wake up in surprise one day. I didn't go into the room, not only because Ruan Yang was lying under the bed and pointing a gun at me, but also because I thought Ru Jing must not want me to see her so embarrassed, so Jiang Nan only let me go to her funeral after she committed suicide.
Regarding this, it is precisely because there is still a clear sense of distance between Ru Hua and me, and this sense of distance shows in a sense that even if Ru Hua and I are lovers, it is just a lover who is still in an ambiguous period, and it is more likely that there is only ambiguity between us.
It's not that I have low self-esteem, but after I found out that Gao Fei and Ru Jing were "living together", I have been planting a seed of doubt in my heart. The last time I saw Gao Fei and Yu Huai in the hospital at the same time, that kind of seed began to sprout. I don't think Ru Can's love should be so easy to get. But no matter what, you don't love someone to get it. So I'm willing to wait, waiting for her to maybe one day fall in love with me or leave me.
Today is the fourth day after I found Ru Confectionery who was hospitalized, and as usual, I went to visit Ru Confectionery in the hospital after work. Xiaoxiao was busy, she said that Jiang Nan went out, and Zhang Yan was in surgery. Let me take the key card and go upstairs to see Ru Hua by myself. I started to hesitate because I was only standing in the doorway for the other day. Now I can't laugh and laugh, I won't go in myself, and it doesn't matter if I get the key card or not. But after hesitating, he still took the key card. Xiaoxiao gave me a sweet smile and left, it seemed that I was indeed a little busy.
I took the key card and walked slowly towards the inpatient department, the consultation rooms of the comprehensive outpatient building have been closed, the flow of people to see a doctor has become sparse, and basically go out, in the lobby on the first floor, there are only a few people waiting in line to get medicine. I walked through the outpatient building, against the flow of people, along the corridor, towards the inpatient department.
At this time, footsteps sounded behind me, and I subconsciously glanced back. A tall, lanky man in a black jacket with a peaked cap appeared behind me. He noticed that I was looking back at him and turned his face to the side. I didn't care, I guess I came to visit the patient. I continued walking, and the people behind me continued to keep a distance after me.
Binhai Hospital is the third class general hospital, rebuilt in the current location a few years ago, covering an area of 400,000 square meters, currently it can be regarded as the largest hospital in the city, the latest facilities, the most complete departments, as for the doctors, I heard that it is also absorbed, precipitated a group of well-known experts in China. There are too many young talents like Jiang Nan to mention.
Therefore, the people in this city have naturally developed certain superstitious habits. For example, even if someone goes to many hospitals, in the end, the condition still has to go to the central hospital for a follow-up or diagnosis. For example, if someone gets a treatment plan at a central hospital, they will no longer accept the advice of other hospitals. As a result, this hospital is always bustling during the day, with all kinds of endless queues, and some people even fight because of queuing to grab numbers. Later, the system of automatic queuing and number picking on the Internet seemed to alleviate some queuing disputes, but it failed to alleviate the problem of crowding here.
There are six buildings in the Marina Hospital, and through the main entrance facing the Marina Avenue, directly opposite is the outpatient complex of the Marina Hospital, which has a total of 9 floors and covers various departments. Behind the complex is the comprehensive inpatient department, and the narrow open space between the two buildings makes a patio garden. The garden is covered with a glass cover over the three-storey building, which provides sufficient daylight and shelter from the wind and rain.
There is a corridor over the patio garden that connects the outpatient complex and the general inpatient department, and if you want to go from the outpatient complex to the general inpatient department, you need to take the elevator to the 4th floor, and then cross the corridor from the 4th floor to reach the comprehensive inpatient department. The 1st to 3rd floors of the general inpatient department are designed as operating rooms. The 4th and 5th floors are elevated and are a large sky garden. Wards are located on the 6th to 12th floors. If you enter the hospital through the north gate directly opposite the main entrance, you can go directly to the inpatient department and operating room.
To the left of the general outpatient department is the special inpatient department, as the name suggests, that is, a ward where special patients enjoy special treatment, and Ru Jing lives in this building. The 1st to 4th floors of the Special Consultation Inpatient Department and Outpatient Complex are connected by a corridor on each floor, while the 5th to 12th floors can only be reached by elevator from the Special Consultation Building. I'm walking in the cloister on the first floor.
Behind the special clinic building is an artificial lake, and there are rockeries and pavilions in the middle of the lake. Along the lake, on the left side of the special inpatient department is the administrative office building of the hospital, and there are two more buildings opposite the special inpatient building and the administrative building, one is the radiation building and the other is the scientific research building. In front of the clinic complex is an above-ground parking lot on the left, and on the right is a green space with manicured shrubs and benches. There are also many phoenix trees, plane trees and kapok trees that are unique to the south.
When the weather is nice, sit on a bench in the hospital and see the sea opposite. Some patients even cross the flyover over the Corniche and take a walk on the boardwalk opposite. In the corner opposite the administrative office building, there is a basketball court and tennis court, which should be used for staff to rest.
I walked through the corridor to the elevator in the intensive care inpatient unit and pressed the button to go upstairs. Due to the late hour, there was not much movement in the whole building. At this time, the people who were following me also stood behind me and waited for the elevator together. The elevator door opened, I stepped in first, then turned sideways to let the people behind me in, and I pressed the 7th floor. The man in black didn't press the button. I thought to myself, such a coincidence, actually the same floor.
Soon the elevator arrived, I walked out of the elevator, the man in black followed, because I was already a regular customer, so I got out of the elevator, turned straight left, and walked towards Ru Jing's room, still thinking about it while walking, should I push the door and go in to see. The man in black got out of the elevator and hesitated for a while, I think he was looking at the sign, it didn't seem to be familiar. Then he turned to the right.
Speaking of which, the design of this special clinic inpatient building is also quite distinctive. The whole is a long and curved shape. On the first floor, there is a public cafeteria, a shop, a service center, and a gymnasium, and above the second floor are private wards, and each floor is a flattened hollow structure. There is a nurse station at each end of the arc on each floor, but usually the nurses are not there, and they are basically concentrated in the service center on the first floor, and patients can ring the bell if they need to.
The inner and outer sides of the arc are the sea-view wards and lake-view wards, and the center of the huizi is a crescent-shaped green space with flowers, trees, rocking chairs, tea houses, and swings on some floors. The green space is surrounded by blue frosted glass from time to time, so that the entrance to the green space is directly opposite the entrance to the ward. Although it is long and narrow, you can't see the opposite ward through the green space. The elevator is on the inside and outside of the crescent bulge and depression.
I walked to the door of Ru Jing's hospital room and listened to the voices inside. I could feel that Ruan Yang had followed my footsteps and reloaded his gun, and if I opened the door and looked down, I could see him staring at me with a gloomy face. There was no one in the hallway, and I sometimes wondered if there was only one patient on this staircase, because it always felt empty, and I had been here for three days and had not seen any other patients or family members.
Instead of opening the door, I leaned against the wall and leaned sideways into the crack to ask the people inside
"Is Ru Jing awake?"
"Nope." After a long time, Ruan Yang reluctantly replied to me.
"And how does she look today?"
"It's fine." Nguyen Yang was always vigilant.
"Are your injuries healed?" I saw that Nguyen Duong was very badly injured that day, and I guess this is one of the reasons why he stayed in the hospital.
"It's coming."
"And when are you leaving?"
Ruan Yang did not answer. I expected that, he was so well-versed in the woods, and it shouldn't be so easy to tell me about someone he didn't trust yet.
"Xiaoxiao is still busy, I'll go get you something to eat, is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
"No need, I'll just laugh." "Thank you!" This thank you is a backup. It seems to be struggling.
At this moment, I caught a glimpse of someone walking towards me on my left, and turned my head to see that it was the man in black who I met in the elevator. It doesn't feel right.
The man in black got closer and closer, I looked at him and whispered to Ruan Yang in the door:
"Someone's coming."
Ruan Yang didn't say anything, and I heard him seem to have moved his position. At this moment, the man in black had already walked up to my side, and then smiled and said to me:
"Why, can't you get in?" It turned out that he didn't enter the door
"It's your first time, you need the person inside to open the door, or ask the nurse to get the key card." As I spoke, I pulled out the door in my pocket, one to explain to him, and the other to tell him I could go in.
"Is this it?" He smiled at me and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Yes, which ward do you go to, I'll help you talk to the nurse's station and ask them to bring it up." I pulled out my phone and prepared to call Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, the man in black suddenly snatched my phone, grabbed my neck with his backhand, and took out a gun with his other hand and pointed it at my temple. Before I could react, he whispered to me.
"Open the door."
"Who are you? What to do? I asked him as I reached for the keycard.
"Open the door first!"
I had to stick the card on the lock and hear a dripping sound. He motioned for me to push the door, and I slowed down as much as I could, and gently pushed open the door to Ru Can's room.
