Chapter 405: 【405】The senior brother’s premonition was right Chapter 405: 【405】The senior brother’s premonition was right Lau Jingyun casually introduced her junior to the senior officer, “His surna is Hu, Hu Zhenfan, you can call him Brother Hu. If you need any help from the police in the future, feel free to reach out to him.”
Officer Hu, the boyfriend of the eldest senior sister, was tall and imposing, standing over one ter ninety, with a handso face and an authoritative uniform that shone with presence. No wonder the second senior sister had said that the eldest senior sister’s boyfriend was insanely handso. After sizing up the eldest senior sister’s boyfriend, Xie Wanying recalled what the second senior sister had ntioned.
Turning back, she saw the second senior sister sleeping and suddenly rembered Teacher Tan ntioning they had been drinking. They hadn’t told anyone they had been drinking. How did Teacher Tan know? Could he sll the alcohol? She and the eldest senior sister had only sipped a little bit of alcohol, so it wouldn’t have been enough to leave a scent. Thus, it must be the breath of the second senior sister who had passed out after drinking. She guessed it wouldn’t be long before the alcohol would peak in the second senior sister’s system.
Feeling a bit concerned for the second senior sister, Xie Wanying hopped off the bed and walked over to her.
On the other side, Lau Jingyun nudged her boyfriend, “You better go back, I’m fine. It’s almost turning into a joke.”
“Tell , what were you and the others celebrating when you went out to eat?” Knowing his girlfriend should be without serious issues, Hu Zhenfan relaxed, grasped his girlfriend’s hand, and his handso face bead with smiles, rembering the context of her words she had slipped earlier.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Lau Jingyun shyly avoided the question and walked towards the restroom, “I’m going to the restroom.”
“I’ll accompany you—”
“What for? I’m going to the ladies’ room!”
“I can stand guard outside for you.”
The voices of the eldest senior sister and her boyfriend gradually faded away, and the surroundings beca quiet. Xie Wanying could hear the second senior sister’s breathing more clearly. As she listened, she noticed sothing subtly off about it, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
She pulled back the quilt covering the second senior sister and touched her stomach which was half-curled up and seed to be protectively covered by her hands without her realizing it; she pressed down, but the second senior sister did not cry out in pain: what’s going on?
“Second senior sister?” Xie Wanying tapped her sister’s shoulder, but there was no response.
Her gaze fell back on the position of the second senior sister’s hands, which seed not to be on her stomach but closer to her chest. Xie Wanying’s mind instantly conjured up the image of the narrow esophagus, a place that could cause a patient to bleed out—could it be a fishbone?
Coughing, He Xiangyu had suddenly coughed violently during their al, ntioning that she might have choked on a fishbone but had swallowed it. They had eaten hot pot fish that evening, and the hot pot broth was flavored with white wine to remove any fishy taste.
These connected snapshots in her mind caused Xie Wanying’s face to go pale. She turned around and ran out to the hallway outside the Observation Room, quickly spotting Senior Cao’s figure in the distance and hurried toward him.
“Put He Xiangyu on the monitor,” Cao Yong was instructing a nurse who had borrowed a monitor, observing that among the three, He Xiangyu seed to be in the worst condition, appearing more drunk than asleep. The borrowed monitor should be used for He Xiangyu first.
“Yes, Dr. Cao,” the nurse turned to fetch the monitor.
“Senior Cao!”
A voice ca from afar, and Cao Yong quickly turned around. He instantly saw her anxious face reflected in his eyes. This scene made him think of the first ti they t in the ergency room, years ago. At that ti, she stood in the courtyard watching him escort a patient, her expression just as worried as now, assessing that the patient might be at risk of severe bleeding.
“Senior Cao,” Xie Wanying spoke urgently, “I can’t wake the second senior sister, I’m afraid she—”
Indeed, it was.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Senior Cao said.
A gentle yet firm hand touched Xie Wanying’s shoulder, and her heartbeat settled with a “thud.”
