Lin Qiutong's face changed drastically when she woke up and didn't see Shen Chi Yan. She immediately rushed out to find him.
She stopped a passing nurse and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen where patient 1208 went?"
"Sorry, we haven't seen him."
"Then go look for him! He's so badly injured, he definitely couldn't have just walked away!"
Early in the morning, everyone searched the hospital for Shen Chi Yan, but after a long time, they couldn't find him.
Shen Liu Bai had watched until dawn, then went home to take a shower. He never expected that the moment he left, Shen Chi Yan would disappear.
Shen Liu Bai immediately contacted the hospital director and checked the hospital's surveillance footage, only to discover that Shen Chi Yan had walked out of the hospital himself.
At this time, Shen Chi Yan's search for a sticky note at Jing Hua University became a trending topic. Shen Ke Qin saw it and immediately informed Shen Liu Bai.
However, Shen Chi Yan was no longer at Jing Hua University by then.
Gao Kun Lun thought long and hard and finally thought of a place, "I think I know where Fifth Master might be?"
Shen Liu Bai and Gao Kun Lun went to Jing Yuan together and indeed found Shen Chi Yan, who had fainted.
He was tightly clutching a mobile phone and a whistle in his hand, and his whole body felt as cold as if he had been locked in an ice cellar.
Shen Liu Bai didn't know why Shen Chi Yan would do this, and was furious. But anger aside, he quickly took Shen Chi Yan to the hospital.
When Lin Qiutong saw Shen Chi Yan back at the hospital, she cried uncontrollably.
The moment she woke up and didn't see Shen Chi Yan, she thought he had met with some misfortune and was already gone.
"Ah Yan... Ah Yan..."
Shen Chi Yan had fainted due to weakness and being exposed to the cold all morning. The doctors gave him IV fluids and kept him warm, a process that took up the entire afternoon.
With such a major incident, the old lady could no longer be kept in the dark.
The old lady rushed to the hospital and almost collapsed upon seeing the pale Shen Chi Yan.
After she had recovered a little, she asked Shen Liu Bai, "Where is the driver who caused the accident? Have they caught him?"
"He's been caught, but the other party said he had been drinking at the time and didn't see anyone in front of him. He was scared and ran away after hitting someone. It wasn't intentional homicide."
The old lady frowned, "So it was an accident?"
"That's how it appears for now. Gao Kun Lun is still investigating."
"Investigate, and get to the bottom of this!"
"I know, Grandma. Don't worry. Ah Yan has woken up, so he'll be fine."
The old lady was furious, "He's so badly injured, yet he still runs home. What was so important that he had to go home?"
Shen Liu Bai thought of the whistle necklace and the phone he was clutching tightly, but to avoid worrying the old lady, he shook his head.
"Alas... Liu Bai, Ah Yan needs someone to take care of him in this condition. I don't trust anyone else. I'll have to trouble you these few days."
The old lady's concern was not unfounded. Shen Chi Yan was the CEO of Ding Sheng Group, a high-profile target. With the car accident not yet clarified, she feared that people with ill intentions might harm him.
"Don't worry, Grandma. I will."
Seeing only Lin Qiutong in the ward, the old lady asked with confusion, "Didn't they say Ah Yan saved Nian Nian? Why isn't Nian Nian here?"
Shen Liu Bai said, "Qin Qin heard that Nian Nian's grandmother in the countryside fainted, so she went back to the countryside."
The old lady sighed heavily. Why did everything she hoped for end in disappointment?
She had hoped her son and daughter-in-law would live a lifetime of love and happiness, but her son insisted on getting a divorce.
She had hoped her grandson and granddaughter-in-law would grow old together, but it had ended up like this.
...
When Shen Chi Yan woke up again, another day and night had passed.
This time, as soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Qiutong rushed forward and tightly gripped his hand, "Ah Yan, are you okay? Does anything hurt?"
When Shen Chi Yan saw Lin Qiutong's face, he subtly withdrew his hand from hers and asked, "Where is Song Qi Nian?"
Lin Qiutong's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She had been the one staying by his side, yet the moment he woke up, he was asking for that bitch Song Qi Nian.
Shen Zi Xuan was also there. Upon hearing this, she immediately spoke up for Lin Qiutong, "Fifth Brother, Sister Qiu Tong has been taking care of you day and night while you were hospitalized. Why are you asking for the woman who hurt you the moment you woke up?"
Shen Chi Yan glanced at Lin Qiutong. Her eyes were red, and there were dark circles under her eye sockets. She looked very haggard.
"Qiu Qiu, thank you..."
Lin Qiutong shook her head, crying, "As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. Do you know how scared I was these past few days? I was so afraid you would leave me like my brother did."
Mentioning Lin Fei Chi, Shen Chi Yan's already pale face became even more ashen. He said to Shen Zi Xuan in a faint voice, "Zi Xuan, Qiu Qiu must be exhausted these past few days. You take her back to rest properly."
Lin Qiutong was devastated. She had been fantasizing that Shen Chi Yan would see her first when he woke up and be moved to hug her, or say some comforting words.
She never expected him to dismiss her.
"Ah Yan, I was so worried about you, and you're chasing me away!"
Shen Chi Yan gave a bitter smile, "I didn't mean to chase you away, but your complexion is too poor. I want you to go back and rest properly. What if you collapse from illness after I've recovered?"
Knowing that Shen Chi Yan was worried about her, Lin Qiutong felt a little better.
Thinking that she must look terrible in her current state, Lin Qiutong nodded, "Okay, then you must listen to the doctor and don't run out again."
"I know."
Not long after Lin Qiutong reluctantly left, Shen Ke Qin arrived.
Seeing Shen Chi Yan with his eyes open, Shen Ke Qin excitedly rushed over and hugged him. The embrace directly hit Shen Chi Yan's wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Brother. You're finally awake! You can't scare us like this anymore."
Shen Ke Qin still felt terrified when she thought about it, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Shen Chi Yan reached out and wiped away Shen Ke Qin's tears, "You're all grown up now, don't cry at the drop of a hat."
"Hmph, I'm just worried about you!"
"Where is Song Qi Nian?"
Shen Ke Qin pouted, "Why are you still asking about her? When you woke up, Lin Qiutong should have been by your side, right?"
Just then, Shen Liu Bai walked in with medicine. Seeing that Shen Chi Yan was awake, he felt like slapping him twice and said sarcastically, "Oh, our family's celebrity has finally woken up!"
Shen Ke Qin also asked curiously, "Yeah, Brother. After you woke up the day before yesterday, why did you suddenly go to Jing Hua University's confession wall to look for something? If it weren't for Ding Sheng Group's public relations department being so efficient, pictures of you in a hospital gown leaning over the confession wall looking for something could have been seen by everyone in Jing Hua City."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chi Yan's face changed drastically, "Where is my phone? And a whistle, and a sticky note? Where did they go?"
Shen Ke Qin was bewildered, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Liu Bai said calmly, "Are those things very important to you?"
"Extremely important!"
"More important than your life? For those things, you disregarded your injuries..."
Before Shen Liu Bai could finish, Shen Chi Yan excitedly interrupted him, "More important than my life! Where are they?"
