The entire hospital packed out the best rooms and used the most advanced equipment to give Phoebe Barnes a thorough examination, but it still didn’t dissipate the disgust on Ann Shi’s face.
If this shitty place wasn’t so remote and she was in a coma, he would not have stopped at such a small hospital.
Soon, the doctor came out.
Ann Shi frowned and took two steps over to her, “How is she?”
The doctor’s face was slightly gloomy, “The child has not appeared abnormal for the time being, but this lady’s body is too weak, she must rest more and remember not to exert herself any more.”
Ann Shi’s tightly furrowed brow finally eased a bit and asked, “Did she have any other problems with her body besides weakness?”
“Limited equipment on this side, this has not been checked out yet.”
The man sank his breath and nodded, “I know, hard work.”
The doctor gave a couple of explanations and was about to leave, when Ann Shi gave a start and suddenly called out to him again, “Doctor, wait.”
“Hmm?”
The man’s dark eyes were faintly warning, “Doctor, anything that happens here today, I don’t want to hear about it outside.”
The doctor froze for a moment, busy smile: “This you do not worry, we only save people other will not say more.”
“That’s fine. Trouble.”
In the ward, Ann Shi looked at the sleeping woman on the bed, with an IV in her hand, her skin, which was already much whiter than normal, was completely devoid of a trace of blood.
The ancient costume was taken off by the nurse and only the white loincloth was worn, long hair was draped, and the wrists were slim with only skin and bones left.
He usually gentle and elegant face for the first time appeared a different emotion, complex and deep, like a heavy heart.
I thought she was so fond of that man that she should be living happily, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
The man’s hand behind his back slightly tightened a few points when he thought of what she said at the hotel that night.
…
Phoebe Barnes felt like she had slept long and hard, and the first time she opened her eyes, she saw the tall figure standing at the head of the bed, her vision still a little blurry, and she subconsciously reached out to try to grab it.
“Division … year …”
“You’re awake?”
The familiar, but not the voice in her heart, cleared the woman’s heavy head slightly.
She frowned and blinked a few times before she could see the man in front of her.
“Shi-sensei?”
“Well, it’s me.” Ann Shi had already changed out of the ancient costume on her body, and her slender body was standing by the bed, looking at her tenderly with low eyes, asking lightly, “Is your body more comfortable?”
Phoebe Barnes moved her eyes and swept around, her eyes confused and her voice husky, “This is a hospital?”
“Well, you fainted, and I had to bring you to the hospital.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes was slightly startled and sat up from the bed, “You sent me here? Then outside …”
Wouldn’t it be a mess?
“Relax, no one knows, I’ve already spoken to your agent on the phone and told her to take care of it over there.” The man placed the pillow behind her, then handed her the glass of water on the table, his tone tinged with a few accusations, “The doctor said your body is too weak to continue to exert yourself.”
Phoebe Barnes lowered her head to take a sip of water, sniffed and coughed lightly, raised her eyes to look at him seriously and said, “Mr. Shi, thank you for sending me to the hospital.”
“You should really thank me, you scared me at that time.” Ann Shi helplessly sighed in relief, then frowned and reprimanded, “It’s really too nonsense, knowing this physical condition of your own, and still put up the same fight as us every day, if I don’t let the director give you half a day off to rest, are you still planning to keep insisting?”
Phoebe Barnes was slightly stunned, looked up at him and then smiled weakly, “What can I do? Always making special will be scolded, and they all don’t know I’m pregnant, otherwise it will affect the progress of the whole drama.”
Ann Shi raised her eyebrows, “Did it ever occur to you that if something happened to you, the play might be terminated outright?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes thought about it, but she thought more about killing her scenes before she made a decision or before her belly showed, so that it wouldn’t have any impact on everyone.
The man looked at her and also felt that there was no point in talking about this now, and asked in a warm voice: “Are you hungry, I’ll go out and buy you something to eat.”
Phoebe Barnes shakes her head.
Her stomach was on the verge of vomiting earlier, and she is now afraid to eat.
The man frowned, looked down at the time and said, “It’s almost dinner time, you can’t go back to the set now, so rest here tonight, I’ll go out and buy you something to eat.”
“Shi’s teacher …”
Phoebe Barnes had just made a sound to stop it when the man had already opened the door and walked out.
Half an hour later, the man returned, carrying a lunch box in his hand.
“Mr. Shi, I’m not hungry, so really don’t bother …”
“If eating feels troublesome, why are you keeping this child?” Ann Shi put the lunch box on the table and gently opened it before turning her eyes to look at her, her gaze deep looking not to the bottom, “If you feel painful and sad, here is the hospital, you might as well just do away with him, you can save a lot of things.”
Do away?
Phoebe Barnes’ shoulders trembled and she lowered her head, her small hands subconsciously protecting the small of her back.
The man laughed out lightly, “Don’t give up, do you? Since you want to keep him, eat well.”
The fragrance of glutinous rice porridge permeates.
I don’t know if it was because of what he just said or if she was really hungry, but she suddenly reached out her small hand and gently pulled her pale lips, “I’ll eat.”
After eating something, Phoebe Barnes couldn’t resist her sleepiness and went back to sleep, not caring where Ann Shi would go, she just wanted to rest completely now.
The next day at dawn, Phoebe Barnes woke up, her body soothed a lot, fearing that the people on the set would talk too much, she got out of bed early to clean herself up.
Ann Shi originally wanted to see if she had gotten up, opened the door and saw the woman walk out on her own, slightly stunned, “Why are you up so early?”
Phoebe Barnes had already washed up and looked at him and smiled, “Good morning, Mr. Shi.”
“Better health? How about … again today?”
“No, it’s much better.” Phoebe Barnes interrupted him with a smile and packed up her clothes, “We both missed work at the same time, it’s inevitable that those people will talk about something, and then it will be bad if word gets out, I can’t drag you into it.”
“Okay.” Ann Shi saw her insist and didn’t force it any further, taking the things she was carrying into the house, “Have some breakfast first, I’ll take you back afterwards.”
Phoebe Barnes then noticed that he seemed to be up earlier than she was.
Raising her eyes to see the dark shadows of the man’s eyelids, she pursed her pink lips, “Shi teacher, you wouldn’t … have stayed up all night, would you?”
A gentle smile appeared on the man’s handsome face, “Why? I rested for the night in the empty ward next to me, it’s just that there are too many mosquitoes in this place, so I didn’t rest well.”
Phoebe Barnes was so guilty, “I’m really sorry, I should have called Long to come over.”
