The nurse aide was startled by her almost crazy behavior.
A young girl in the next bed was having lunch. Hearing this, she craned her neck and peeked at Peng Shiyi through the curtain. Her look was like she was looking at a crazy person.
The nurse aide couldn't hold Peng Shiyi down at all. Her fingernails had scratched several marks on the aide's back of the hand. "I don't know who this Brother Jiang Yi you're talking about is. I'm the nurse aide your mother hired for you. Can I pass on your concerns to your mother?"
Soon, the nurse rushed over. Seeing blood seeping from Peng Shiyi's wrist, she quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"What's going on? Why is it bleeding again? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Peng Shiyi's struggling subsided a bit. She looked at the nurse with full expectation and asked, "Are you the nurse in charge of my bed?"
The nurse said yes.
Tears welled up in Peng Shiyi's eyes. With one last glimmer of hope, she asked, "Then have you seen a really handsome and tall man come to visit me? His name is Fang Jiang Yi!"
The nurse tried hard to recall. If there had been such a person, she would surely have a deep impression, but there was none at all. So she told the truth.
"No. After you were admitted to the hospital, only a middle - aged couple came to visit you. They should be your parents or elders. There was no one else."
The nurse saw the blood on Peng Shiyi's wrist gradually flowing down to her fingertips and dripping. She immediately stepped forward and neatly unwrapped the gauze to re - bandage it.
"Get away! I don't want to be bandaged..." Peng Shiyi pushed everyone away and refused others to approach. "I don't want to. I want my Brother Jiang Yi. I want him. I only want him!"
The nurse suppressed her temper and said, "I don't know who this Brother Jiang Yi you're talking about. First, let's bandage your wound. I'll inform your parents. Wait for them to come and then you can ask them."
Peng Shiyi screeched hysterically at the top of her lungs, knocking over the fruit plate and water cup on the bedside cabinet.
"No! Without Brother Jiang Yi, I'd rather die. Anyway, even if I die, he won't look at me again..."
The whole ward was filled with her sobbing.
The little girl in the next bed looked at her like she was a mental patient. Finally, she sat back on her own bed and whispered a complaint.
"Did she go to the wrong department? She should go to the psychiatry department..."
Although her voice was very soft, Peng Shiyi still heard it. She yanked open the curtain between them and pounced on the girl, cursing wildly. Her crazy appearance made people think she might need to take some medicine.
"You're the crazy one! Your whole family is crazy! You're just like that bitch Cheng Yanxia. You all deserve to die!"
The girl in the next bed was just a school - going little girl. She was terribly frightened by Peng Shiyi. Holding her lunch box, she didn't dare to move at all and almost choked on her food.
The nurse kindly pulled the curtain again to separate them.
This patient was really scary. If she could change the ward, she would have run away long ago. Moreover, she highly agreed with what the little girl said. She thought Peng Shiyi should go to the psychiatry department to check if there was something wrong with her brain.
The nurse looked at the nurse aide and said, "You call her parents first and let them come and have a look."
Seeing Peng Shiyi grabbing her own hair and talking to herself, looking like she might explode at any moment, the nurse was really scared. So she took out her phone voluntarily, bent down in front of Peng Shiyi and said.
"Okay, tell me the phone number of your so - called brother. I'll call and ask for you."
Peng Shiyi was like a fish in water. She grabbed the nurse's hand and recited a phone number that she knew by heart. She watched the nurse press the number and make the call.
The phone rang several times before someone answered. Fang Jiang Yi's voice came through.
"Hello, who is this?"
Peng Shiyi burst into tears instantly. "Brother Jiang Yi, it's me. You clearly promised to come and see me. Why didn't you come? Is it because of Cheng... Is there someone preventing you from seeing me?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Fang Jiang Yi was always a very patient person, but the series of things Peng Shiyi had done made it impossible for him to be patient.
There had been more than a dozen strange calls from Peng Shiyi in just a few days. Every time he answered, she would be hysterical like a madwoman.
"Don't call me anymore. If you keep pestering me, I will take measures that I don't want to take. If I don't want to see you, I have hundreds of ways to cut off all connections with you. By then, it won't be just you who will be affected." Fang Jiang Yi's tone was already very impatient.
"No, Brother Jiang Yi, don't ignore me. I've said that I won't force you to do anything anymore. I just want to see you." Peng Shiyi pleaded with him humbly.
Fang Jiang Yi said firmly, "We'll talk about this later."
Peng Shiyi didn't stop crying. Snot and tears were all over her face. Maybe she realized that there was no turning back. Unable to accept such a result, she suddenly clenched the phone tightly and shouted.
"You all don't want me anymore. You all abandon me. Don't you just want me to die? I'll die right now to show you!"
After saying that, she suddenly threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed and rushed towards the door.
The nurse tried to stop her but failed. Even the person who was coming back with food at the door was knocked back several steps by her, and the food in his hand was spilled all over the floor.
"Patient, don't be impulsive!" the nurse screamed and chased after her.
Peng Shiyi directly opened the window in the corridor, stepped on the bench in the corridor and stepped over onto the window sill.
This was the fifth floor. If she fell, she might not die, but it was certain that she would break her arms or legs.
Afraid that she would jump impulsively, the nurse quickly raised her hands. "Patient, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over. Come down quickly. It's too dangerous!"
Fang Jiang Yi on the other end of the phone obviously heard this. He frowned. It wasn't that he thought Peng Shiyi would really commit suicide, but if this person kept causing trouble like this, it would be hard for him to end things well.
Only then did the nurse remember that she still had a phone call in progress. She quickly held the phone and said urgently.
"Sir, are you her boyfriend? She's sitting on the window sill now and it's very dangerous. Can you persuade her nicely and ask her to come down quickly? This is really too dangerous!"
She turned on the speaker and stretched out her hand so that Peng Shiyi could hear Fang Jiang Yi's words.
"Peng Shiyi, are you sure you want to jump off the building? You should know that even if you die, it won't have much impact on me. The most heart - broken one will only be your mother. If you die, then you really won't be able to see me again."
Peng Shiyi cried bitterly. Her sobbing voice made people feel sad.
"It's better to die than live like this. You won't even see me! My brother and my father only want to marry me off as a profit - making tool just because I lost you as a backer. Why have I become so unreasonable today? It's because of you. It's all you and Cheng Yanxia who forced me!"
If Cheng Yanxia hadn't suddenly appeared, Fang Jiang Yi would have been hers. Marrying her would have been just a matter of time.
