Wu Pengpeng originally just wanted to pretend to faint, but unexpectedly, she really fell asleep later.
When she woke up again, she was already in the ICU. There was a drip on her hand, and she was wearing an oxygen mask on her head. She felt uncomfortable all over.
She subconsciously reached out to remove the oxygen mask, but was stopped by someone.
"I know you're uncomfortable. Endure it for a while," He Qianshan stroked the top of her head, his voice as gentle as if he were coaxing a child. "Be good and listen to me."
Wu Pengpeng was like a panicked cat. Hearing his voice was like having her fur smoothed. All her uneasiness vanished in an instant.
She looked in the direction of the sound. He Qianshan was wearing a protective suit and a mask, only showing a pair of eyes.
But she still recognized him. He was the young man she had kept.
But why was he here?
Wu Pengpeng opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She looked at Dean Chen beside her and gave him a pleading look.
Dean Chen stepped forward to check and determined that she could breathe on her own, so he removed the oxygen mask.
A large gulp of air mixed with the smell of disinfectant filled her lungs. Only then did Wu Pengpeng confirm that she was really still alive.
Her mind was in a complete mess, and she was a bit confused about the current situation.
She looked at He Qianshan and then at Dean Chen.
Dean Chen seemed to guess what she was thinking and explained gently, "You grabbed his clothes tightly after you fainted and we couldn't pry your hands loose no matter what. So we had no choice but to let him in."
Only then did Wu Pengpeng realize that just now she didn't know how to face those relatives and friends with unknown intentions. Before she "fainted", she felt insecure, so she grabbed He Qianshan.
Unexpectedly, she had dragged him into the ICU.
Wu Pengpeng touched her nose a bit shyly and said with a flickering look in her eyes, "Doctor, am I okay?"
Just then, the nurse brought the examination results. Dean Chen took them and his expression became solemn.
Looking at his expression, Wu Pengpeng's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Could it be that the little heavenly being hadn't made it clear that if she died from her serious injuries, this deal would be completely over?
Impulsiveness is the devil. She was doomed this time!
Just as Wu Pengpeng was mentally ringing the death knell for herself, she heard Dean Chen mutter, "This is so strange."
Seeing Dean Chen's reaction, He Qianshan's heart also tightened. His voice even trembled a bit. "What's wrong, Dean Chen?"
Dean Chen pushed his glasses and stared at the examination results, frowning without saying a word.
Wu Pengpeng and He Qianshan exchanged a look, and they both saw deep fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just when they were being dominated by the fear of death and on the verge of despair, Dean Chen finally spoke, "You're fine."
He Qianshan was caught off guard by Dean Chen's words. He thought he was having an auditory hallucination and couldn't believe it. He confirmed again, "What did you say?"
"I said she's okay," Doctor Dean Chen handed the results to him. "Her internal organs are intact."
He glanced at Wu Pengpeng, his expression a bit strange. "She's recovering quite quickly."
Actually, it wasn't strange that Dean Chen was so surprised. Mainly, the examination results a few hours ago showed that Wu Pengpeng's internal organs were all shattered. But according to this examination result, her internal organs were all fine, with only some skin abrasions and a broken left hand.
In his more than 40 years of medical practice, he had never seen such a strange thing.
Hearing that she was okay, Wu Pengpeng let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good."
Dean Chen glanced at her, his eyes full of mystery. "It's really a miracle that you survived."
Sensing the scrutiny in Dean Chen's eyes, Wu Pengpeng nervously pursed her lips.
Her very existence was a miracle.
Judging from Dean Chen's look, he wished he could study her as a specimen.
She could only smile obediently at Dean Chen. "Thanks to your excellent medical skills. Thank you. You've worked hard."
Dean Chen had been full of doubts, but after she flattered him, he felt embarrassed to continue asking. He said a bit sheepishly, "It's my duty."
Seeing Dean Chen's expression change, Wu Pengpeng silently let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
She carefully felt her body. Sure enough, the heart - wrenching pain in her body had disappeared, leaving only the bone - piercing pain in her left wrist, which should be due to the fracture.
The little heavenly being seemed cold - hearted, but actually was quite kind.
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Wu Pengpeng heard a childish voice in her mind give an arrogant "hum".
She was a bit surprised and replied in her consciousness, "So you're still here!"
From the one - day memory she had left, she knew that the heavenly being had disappeared after making the deal with her last time and only appeared when she "died".
She wondered why he was still here this time.
Could it be that he had changed his mind?
The heavenly being said irritably, "I'm here to see if you're dead!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Wu Pengpeng flattered him, "I won't die as long as you're here."
The heavenly being "hummed" again, in a very angry tone.
Even though Wu Pengpeng couldn't see him, she could guess that he must be glaring round - eyed, which must be very cute.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" The heavenly being interrupted her daydreaming impatiently and said in a very serious tone, "You must take it seriously during the remaining time. If you have any more accidents or fail to complete the task, you'll really die!"
Wu Pengpeng replied "Yes, yes, yes". "I guarantee to complete the task, save my life, and start a new life..."
"Be serious!" The heavenly being angrily interrupted her. He paused for a moment and then said solemnly, "Remember, you must complete the task before this energy meter disappears."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Pengpeng felt a cool sensation on her right wrist. She looked down and saw a graphic like a mobile phone battery meter on her wrist, fully charged in green.
This was her life countdown timer.
"What are you thinking about?" He Qianshan saw Wu Pengpeng staring blankly at a certain point in the air and occasionally showing a faint smile.
"Oh, it's nothing," Wu Pengpeng pulled herself back to reality. She took the opportunity to call out in her consciousness a couple of times, but there was no response. The heavenly being had already left.
He Qianshan saw that her state was not right and looked at her worriedly.
He followed Wu Pengpeng's line of sight and saw that she was staring blankly at her right wrist. Although there was clearly nothing there, she seemed to be looking at a precious treasure more important than life.
He Qianshan couldn't help but worry. "Does your right wrist hurt too?"
Wu Pengpeng looked at him and saw that he looked completely confused. Obviously, he couldn't see this energy meter.
She gave him a gentle smile. "It doesn't hurt." Then she turned to look at Dean Chen, still with a smiling face. "Doctor, can I be transferred to a general ward?"
This ICU ward looked quite scary. She always felt that she might be taken away by the god of death at any time.
Moreover, she was already fine. Wouldn't this be a waste of medical resources?
Dean Chen examined her again and determined that she was indeed okay. Only then did he transfer her to a general ward.
When she came out of the ICU, Wu Pengpeng saw at a glance the people with different expressions outside. When they saw her come out, they stared at her with a variety of expressions on their faces.
She suddenly had an urge to "faint" again.
Escaping was not a long - term solution after all. She gritted her teeth and tried hard to squeeze out a weak smile. "Hi, everyone!"
