"I really didn't watch." Hesta looked at Rico and said seriously, "I really can't run fast in this state... I'm sorry."
"Oh, I don't mean to blame you."
Rico let out a long sigh, and she clenched her fist and knocked on the bed board, "That box must contain some dark history of Chiba, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious... I really want to know!"
Looking at Li Ge's purple and swollen eyes, Hesta suddenly laughed, "Even if it is, what's so good about it..."
"Of course she looks good!" Li Ge also turned his head, "Don't you want to see how deflated she is? Chiba!"
"I really haven't seen Miss Chiba in such a miserable state," Hesta looked at the ceiling, "Maybe... it's just rare."
…
Meyer followed Putina all the way down to the actual medical deck of the cruise ship.
It was a little too quiet here. Every step forward, there was a slight sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor. Meyer felt goosebumps all over her body. Putina shook her hand.
"Don't be afraid."
Meyer said nothing and just nodded.
Continuing to walk forward, she saw the names of Si Lei and Helen in front of the two wards she passed. Seeing that Officer Si Lei was indeed here, Meyer felt a little relieved.
"Right here." Putinna stopped in front of a ward, "Are you sure you want to keep a vigil for your sister tonight?"
"Um."
"Okay, then you will sleep here tonight. There is a private bathroom and a small kitchen. Whatever you need, you can theoretically do it in the ward. Don't run around alone. If Agnes is in danger, Use the emergency call bell to notify the medical staff on duty. They will arrive soon after hearing the call." Putina looked at Meyer, "Am I clear?"
"Um."
"Then can you do it?"
"Can..." Meyer's expression was a little complicated, "Can you please stop talking to me like this? I'm not a child anymore."
"Okay, Ms. Meyer." Putina opened the door for her, "Please come in."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome." Putina smiled and watched Meyer enter, then quietly closed the door.
The room was dimly lit, with only a row of nightlight strips placed close to the floor on. Meyer first saw Agnes lying on the hospital bed. The room was very warm, and her sister was covered with a very thin blanket. , sleeping quietly.
"Aige..."
Meyer murmured and sat down next to her sister, gently holding Meyer's hand that was not injected.
Agnes's brows furrowed, as if she was dreaming. Even though she was so weak at the moment, she still struggled to pull her hand back.
"Egg...? It's me, I'm Meyer."
Agnes's expression seemed to be even more painful. Meyer did not dare to touch her sister's body anymore, so he had to sit on the stool and look at her worriedly. But things did not get better. Agnes seemed to fall into greater uneasiness. Her whole body began to twist, and the hand that inserted the needle was raised and waved very restlessly.
Meyer was stunned for a moment and quickly pulled the emergency call bell. Everything was just as Putina said, and the crew arrived immediately. They turned on the light in the room, and Meyer saw her sister's expression clearly at this time - her clenched teeth, frowning brows, and her nostrils that were constantly flapping.
Meyer began to describe what had just happened, incoherently.
"Wake her up," the crewman said to Meyer.
"Shall I come?" Meyer looked at Agnes again, "Ege...Ege!"
Agnes was also trying to wake up from her sleep. She could almost feel the white light on the ceiling of the ward. However, this familiar feeling of awakening was her deepest nightmare - the stronger the premonition that she was about to wake up, the more she was The current situation of being trapped in this becomes more and more real.
In countless trials in the past, Agnes hated the time when she woke up the most. Although others described it as "a moment", this moment always seemed extremely long to her. She could always feel a free hand caressing her non-existent body at that moment - between virtuality and reality, she was a spirit running on the server, and this hand occupied All her senses.
This hallucination is sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes it does not appear for several months, but whenever it appears again, Agnes will immediately tighten her non-existent body.
Later, she began to dream. Once she dreamed of such a scene, Iger would touch the scissors under the pillow. If she could feel the scissors, she knew it was a dream. If she couldn't, she would have to endure the pain.
Only this time, although he didn't touch the scissors, Egger woke up quickly.
This feeling felt strange to Agnes, but when she saw Meyer crying next to her, her hanging heart dropped slightly.
"Meyer..." Agnes murmured softly. She stretched out her hand towards Meyer, "Don't cry."
Meyer wiped the tears from his face, "Did you have another nightmare, Egg?"
"Ah." Agnes responded softly, "It's okay."
"Are you not used to not having scissors..." Meyer whispered, "I'll go find you a pair of scissors——"
"No need." Agnes murmured in a low voice, "It's no longer necessary..."
"Um?"
Agnes stared at the ceiling light.
"I've already... cut off that hand."
Meyer was puzzled, "What hand?"
Agnes closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.
"Have a good rest." The crew member pointed to the bedside table and said to Meyer, "There is a sliding bed inside. If you are sleepy, you can sleep here."
Another crew member had already opened the cabinet door and showed Meyer how to operate it.
Only then did Agnes realize that she had never seen this place before. She slowly glanced around and saw many complex instruments that she couldn't name. Looking outside, there were no other beds in the room - this was A private ward where she was alone.
"Where is this..." Agnes finally felt alert, "Where are we...ah, are we ashore?"
"No," Meyer replied, "We're still on the Ascension."
"Don't lie to me, the medical room on the Shengming is not like this..."
"I didn't lie to you!" Meyer quickly explained, "They said you were seriously injured, so they sent you here -"
"Don't move around. This is the intensive care unit. The fact that you are lying here means that your situation is not optimistic," the crew member answered from the side. "If you don't want the injury on your shoulder to affect you for the rest of your life, just lie down now." .”
Agnes frowned even more tightly, "...Why didn't I know there was an intensive care unit on the ship?"
The crew member laughed.
"There are still many things you don't know about in this world," she looked at Agnes, "Just keep your life and see what happens in the future."
