Capítulo 1580: Chapter 1580: Got It in One Guess
Xie Wanying is a bit afraid now that if she says anything more, she’ll imdiately give herself away in front of Senior Cao.
On the other end, Cao Yong seems to have guessed her thoughts, changing his approach to inquire, “When are you coming back?”
She can roughly answer this question. Xie Wanying replied, “I’ll be back in the next couple of days, so you don’t have to worry, Senior.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.” Xie Wanying didn’t realize anything was wrong with her response, saying she could co back in the next two days, and Senior Cao should be reassured like Senior Brother Yu.
Cao Yong pondered whether to share his conjecture, unsure if it might scare her. Her family was hospitalized, and her claim of returning in two days only indicated one thing: she and her family were likely in the Capital. Hence, his Little Fool Junior Brother Huang’s afternoon guess was right. Her phone communication might have been cut because she boarded a plane.
Her family transferred to Capital Hospital? Not hospitalized in Guoxie?
The senior brother stayed silent for a long ti on the other end, and Xie Wanying vaguely felt sothing might be amiss, wondering if she had indeed said sothing wrong.
“It’s very late; Senior, have a good rest. I’ll talk to you again when I get back.” Xie Wanying hurriedly tried to hang up, feeling that lying in front of these genius seniors was exceedingly difficult, risking being exposed at any mont.
“You rest well too. If you return to the hospital, rember to call . I’ll co to see you,” Cao Yong reminded.
Senior Cao’s voice suddenly beca very serious, causing Xie Wanying to recall that even the kindest Senior Cao had his limits for conduct, her heart thumping twice, she agreed, “Okay.”
The call was finally hung up.
Now, facing the pending text replies to other senior brothers and sisters, Xie Wanying didn’t dare to write back, fearing one more ssage would prompt a call like Senior Cao’s. Her brain couldn’t withstand the barrage from a group of genius seniors.
Sighing, she could only ntally say to the seniors: Sorry.
She walked back beside her cousin’s hospital bed, observing that her cousin’s condition seed stable.
Perhaps the kind-hearted Senior Brother Shim had instructed the nurses here; a nurse ca over to tell her, “I’ve arranged another bed for you to sleep on. Don’t worry about your cousin’s condition. We who are on night duty will patrol, and we’ll wake you up if there’s any situation.”
Xie Wanying thanked continuously.
She laid down on the caregiver bed arranged by the nurses next door to rest for a while. Having rushed to catch a flight last night, she’d been busy all day without a mont’s pause, already extrely exhausted. Almost instantly after lying down, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Cao Yong finished the call with her, holding his phone, surrounded by others. Actually, he hadn’t gone ho tonight but stayed within the hospital departnt.
Huang Zhilei, standing next to him, listened to the entire conversation, checking his phone ssages: Little Sister hadn’t replied to him; she must have been intimidated after the call from Senior Cao, afraid that Senior Brother Huang would call to inquire.
Little Sister was more of a fool than him at tis, thinking such matters could be concealed? Didn’t she consider how Senior Brother Huang had already guessed she’d flown back?
“Which hospital in the Capital is Dr. Xie and her family at now?” Song Xueling, sitting on the sofa, seed to ask himself. Tonight, it’s his turn for night duty, and having nothing else to do he lingered in Cao Yong’s office, also hearing that call filled with suspicion. Like Cao Yong, the inference could be made that she had returned to the Capital.
