Chapter 1390: Nightmares One After Another

~7 min read 1,322 words

Liu Xin'ai called out to her friend, pointed upward, and said, "That hanging ornament is a bit strange; it looks like it's about to fall."

Cai Xiaotang also looked up.

But she gave a different answer: "It should be just like this. Look, when we first walked in, wasn't there a door that looked like it was about to fall? I even secretly gave it a nudge and found it was sturdy."

After hearing this, Liu Xin'ai did not continue to offer her opinion.

There were quite a lot of people in the coffee shop, and it was only after walking around in a circle that they found a spot.

Cai Xiaotang did not want the seat to be taken by someone else, so she lifted her feet and rushed forward.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'ai and Jiang Baobao followed not far behind.

But just at this moment, that hanging ornament actually swayed!

No one noticed this small detail.

But Liu Xin'ai noticed it!

And... Cai Xiaotang happened to be walking directly underneath that hanging ornament!

Liu Xin'ai's pupils constricted, and she shouted, "Xiao Tang, watch out!"

Cai Xiaotang turned her head at the sound, but instead, she stopped moving.

Anxious, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly ran over, grabbed Cai Xiaotang's arm, and they both lunged toward a safe place together!

At the same time, the heavy object crashed down with a boom!

Screams erupted from the crowd!

Cai Xiaotang was even more shaken and terrified!!

If Liu Xin'ai hadn't just pulled her away, she would likely have been turned into a meat patty!

Thinking of Liu Xin'ai...

Cai Xiaotang wanted to thank this savior.

But when she turned her head to look, she discovered... Liu Xin'ai's forehead had struck the corner of a table!!

Liu Xin'ai only felt a warm liquid slowly trickling down.

Raising her eyes, she saw Cai Xiaotang's terrified expression again.

"Xin'ai!?"

This roar was very sharp, stinging Liu Xin'ai's eardrums.

She wanted to tell her friend to be quieter.

But before the words could leave her mouth, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Finally, everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.

During her coma, Liu Xin'ai felt like she had many nightmares.

One after another.

Extremely oppressive.

Liu Xin'ai told herself that those were just nightmares, and after waking up, these things would disappear.

But... could they really disappear?

Liu Xin'ai doubted it, so she was in no rush to wake up.

She was very afraid that the world she would have to face after waking up would be even more terrifying than the dreamscape...

Liu Xin'ai kept her eyes closed, yet the sounds at her ears gradually became clear.

She could hear the doctor explaining her condition to her friend.

Liu Xin'ai was a doctor herself; she knew her situation was not serious.

But Cai Xiaotang kept crying, blaming herself for being reckless, saying that otherwise, she wouldn't have dragged Liu Xin'ai into this.

Liu Xin'ai couldn't bear to see Cai Xiaotang cry like that, so she exerted effort twice and opened her eyes.

And the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to reach out a hand toward Cai Xiaotang.

However...

The person holding her hand was not Cai Xiaotang.

It was... Qin Yiyan!

Qin Yiyan's handsome face was right beside Liu Xin'ai; his expression was panicked, and his complexion was pale.

But seeing Liu Xin'ai wake up, he acted like a silly boy again, revealing a pure smile.

"Xin'ai..."

This call attracted the others over as well.

Cai Xiaotang even sobbed as she rushed over, her words incoherent: "You finally... woke up. If you hadn't... woken up, I... I would have had to pay for it with my own life!"

Liu Xin'ai unobtrusively pulled her hand back, then helped wipe the tear stains from Cai Xiaotang's face, smiling: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we both perfectly fine?"

"But the way you looked, covered in blood, was really so scary!"

"That was just a superficial wound; it didn't damage my brain, so there's no need to be afraid."

The doctor had just explained Liu Xin'ai's injury to Cai Xiaotang in the same way.

So how did the unconscious Liu Xin'ai... know that?

Cai Xiaotang didn't understand, so she asked: "How did you know?"

Liu Xin'ai's smile didn't change: "Because I'm a doctor, I can feel it."

Hmm... she could even feel that?

Cai Xiaotang found it unbelievable.

Qin Yiyan did not continue to discuss the medical condition, but instead asked with concern: "Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable right now?"

"I... I don't feel uncomfortable, I just want to eat an apple."

Because Liu Xin'ai was injured suddenly and had not been unconscious for long, there was no fruit in the hospital room.

But since she had made the request, Qin Yiyan took the responsibility without hesitation and said, "I'll go buy some!"

Once Qin Yiyan left, Cai Xiaotang sat down beside Liu Xin'ai and began to describe the scene when she was injured.

However, Liu Xin'ai listened absentmindedly.

She even interrupted Cai Xiaotang and asked, "Qin Yiyan... why is he here?"

"When you fainted, he appeared, and he was the one who carried you here."

After hearing this, Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Was he at the coffee shop at the time too?"

"Yes, but I seriously suspect that he also went to the Meishuguan and was secretly following you!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly became gossipy.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but say helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense about things you have no proof for."

"Oh, getting proof isn't simple?"

Cai Xiaotang prepared to state her idea.

But Liu Xin'ai interrupted her and asked the doctor, "If there's nothing wrong, can I be discharged from the Hospital?"

"It's best to stay for observation, but if you want to be discharged, that's fine too; rest at home and monitor your condition closely."

"Then I'll be discharged."

Liu Xin'ai made her decision.

But Jiang Baobao couldn't understand it: "Why are you in such a rush? Observing a bit longer would be more reassuring."

"I know my own condition very well; no matter how long I observe, the result won't change, so it's better to go home and recuperate properly."

Hmm... indeed, the Hospital is not as comfortable or convenient as home.

Jiang Baobao thought about it and didn't say anything more.

Over here, Liu Xin'ai sat up by herself and then slowly stood up.

Although her movements were sluggish, it went smoothly enough.

After Liu Xin'ai steadied herself, she even showed off to her friends: "Look, isn't this fine?"

On the surface, it was fine.

But who knew if this woman was forcing herself?

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were both a bit helpless, but they couldn't do anything about this woman.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Qin Yiyan went to buy apples for you; aren't you going to wait for him?"

Liu Xin'ai said without even lifting her head, "I won't wait; I'll just give him a call later to let him know."

However, before Liu Xin'ai could make the call, the few of them ran into Qin Yiyan, who was hurrying back, downstairs.

In his hand, he was still carrying apples.

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai was actually standing there, Qin Yiyan immediately walked over quickly and reached out to hold Liu Xin'ai's arm.

But Liu Xin'ai avoided him.

She lowered her head, looked at the apples, and asked, "Where did you buy the apples? That was really fast."

"There's a shop right across from the Hospital; what are you doing..."

"This injury isn't serious; I'm going home to recuperate."

"But you lost so much blood!"

"That's no problem either; I'll just eat more supplements. I think I see the Liu Family's car, so I'll head back now."

Liu Xin'ai waved at the few people with a smile and was about to walk off on her own.
