"When my father passed away, I was actually a bit confused. Now that I think about it, I felt that I was not mentally balanced at that time. Why did Dai Lin's parents be cured, but my father contracted the disease and passed away."
After hearing what Luo Ren said, Lu Yuqing never thought that the two people actually had this connection.
"So that's it..."
"So I said something that hurt him. My thoughts at the time were actually a bit dark. I would rather..."
Luo Ren did not continue, but Lu Yuqing soon understood that the people he would rather die at that time were Dai Lin's parents.
No matter how kind-hearted most people are, they cannot avoid having a dark side when their own interests are involved. Lu Yuqing understands this very well.
"I think Dai Lin must be a good doctor, right?"
Lu Yuqing smiled bitterly in his heart.
Obviously, this so-called "good" refers not only to medical skills, but also to medical ethics. However, in Hospital No. 444, doctors who insist on medical ethics have a very hard life.
"Then have you ever regretted it? You gave up going to medical school back then?"
"Sometimes." Luo Ren clenched the coffee cup in his hand: "I have fantasized countless times about the feeling of standing in front of the operating table, holding a scalpel, and saving other people's lives from death."
"You...why are you talking to me so much?"
"I think you are very powerful."
In the past, Luo Ren only regarded Lu Yuqing as a colleague of Dai Lin, not counting how familiar he was with her.
However, after going to Hospital No. 444 in person, the shock was completely different.
"Your profession can be said to be much more dangerous than that of an infectious disease doctor. Every operation can be said to be life-threatening." When Luo Ren said this, he was very sincere: "Although you are completely different from ordinary doctors.
It's the same, but you are also saving lives and healing the wounded. Moreover, you seem to be working in a surgical department that is more dangerous than Dai Lin, right? I think you look very weak, but you are really powerful."
Even with Lu Yuqing's temperament, he felt his cheeks get hot when he heard these words. Luo Ren didn't know the inside story. Didn't she know that the purpose of Hospital No. 444 and the words "saving lives and healing the wounded" cannot be said to be exactly the same.
All I can say is that it has nothing to do with it.
"However, I have a question for you."
"Well, let me make it clear first that if you want to ask about the hospital, unless you are a patient, you'd better not ask any more questions."
After hearing what Lu Yuqing said, Luo Ren could only swallow the rest of his words.
"Then...then forget it."
It seems that Luo Ren's problem is indeed related to the hospital.
It's normal. He is an ordinary person and suddenly knows that there is a place like Hospital No. 444 in the world. It is normal for him to want to get to the bottom of it. However, as a doctor, he cannot disclose the inside information of the hospital to non-patients.
…
After walking out of the coffee shop, Luo Ren said to Lu Yuqing: "I have a car, do you want to give you a ride?"
"No need. The house I rent is nearby." When Lu Yuqing said this, he suddenly looked at Luo Ren and said, "Actually, if you wear a white coat, you should be quite handsome."
"Really?" Luo Ren actually laughed after hearing this.
This was the first time Lu Yuqing saw Luo Ren smile.
"By the way, I found... you don't really know much about coffee. Just like you told me before..."
"Don't worry! I just like making coffee!"
After Lu Yuqing watched Luo Ren get in the car and leave, he looked back at Dai Lin's community behind him.
In fact, she had no intention of harming Dai Lin's family. She had long wanted to open a coffee shop of her own, and choosing a location here... was just to scare Dai Lin.
"Heal the wounded and rescue the dying..."
When she said these four words, she was a bit self-deprecating.
As Luo Ren drove away, he couldn't help but look at Lu Yuqing through the rearview mirror of the car.
It was hard for him to imagine how such a fragile-looking woman could save a patient's life from those terrifying ghosts. And Dai Lin... what kind of life was he experiencing in that hospital?
When he got home, he used the computer to reply to a few English emails, took a shower, and went to bed.
Since entering Hospital No. 444, he found that his sleep quality was not particularly good.
After drinking coffee, he felt that he might not be able to fall asleep easily.
But what I didn't expect this time was...he fell asleep quickly.
…
Luo Ren returned home.
"I have prepared all the dishes for you. They are all what you like to eat."
A woman came out of the kitchen.
"It's true that your investment bank is working overtime today?"
Luo Ren smiled bitterly: "There is no way, we are a foreign-funded enterprise, and many of our customers are foreigners, but we can only do it during the Spring Festival."
Looking at the table full of dishes, he smiled and walked up to hug the woman.
"thank you……"
"Look, it's all your favorite food, right?"
"Actually, I want to eat you..."
"How come I didn't see that you were so crooked before?"
Luo Ren kissed the woman's forehead and said, "Will your vacation be changed due to unexpected circumstances?"
"No, I'm not from the emergency department. We start working on the fifth day of the new year."
"That's good."
"After the holiday, I will assist the director of the department to perform a difficult operation," the woman continued: "I used to learn and observe the A-level surgeries cursed by ghosts. This time I can finally pick up the scalpel myself. That patient
He was admitted to the hospital on November 1st last year. It was rare for him to be cursed by two ghosts, so he was finally scheduled for surgery."
"Okay, let's not talk about work first, let's eat..."
After eating, not long after...
Luo Ren carried the woman into the bedroom, and the scene after that entered an indescribable state...
…
When Luo Ren opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was lying on the bed.
"I...what do I do?"
He stood up immediately, looked at his phone, and after confirming the time, his face became very ugly.
"How can it be???"
He turned on his mobile phone to surf the Internet. After about a few minutes, he finally confirmed...
It is 4 a.m. on November 1, 2021, Halloween.
"I...I was dreaming just now???"
Although it is incredible, this is the only explanation.
However, the dream just now was too real!
Dreams are usually not organized and logical, and most of them will be forgotten after waking up. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to accurately describe their dreams to others, and some secondary processing in language is often required.
but……
Luo Ren can clearly remember everything that happened in the dream.
The dream was extremely clear, and all the scenes were naturally transformed according to his own experience, making it impossible to feel that he was dreaming. Moreover, he remembered everything he experienced in the dream very clearly.
To be honest, the dream was so real that he even thought he was hallucinating.
"What the hell happened to me?"
Luo Ren clutched his hair and leaned his head against the wall, digesting the news of the dream.
He still couldn't accept that everything just happened was just a...dream?
This is too ridiculous!
How could this all be... fake?
If that is false, then is my current experience also a dream?
Luo Ren began to worry about his mental state.
He turned on the light and sat up.
Then, he picked up a piece of paper and began to sort out his dream.
He clearly remembered the date in the dream.
February 1, 2022.
Exactly three months from now!
It happens to be the first day of the first lunar month.
Of course, the head office of the investment bank where he works is overseas and does not celebrate the New Year. So even if it is the first day of the new year, he still has to work overtime.
In the dream, he could not feel the blank memory of the past three months at all, but it happened naturally...
But compared to this, the most important thing is that there are two incredible things in the dream.
In the dream, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, but on this day, his mother did not exist in his memory at all, and he did not send New Year greetings to his mother and stepfather who were overseas remotely.
Another point……
"Lu Yuqing? She?"
Luo Ren can clearly remember every detail in the dream. In the dream, he and Lu Yuqing...
"Oh My God……"
Luo Ren had no sleepiness at all.
During the day, he came to work at his unit and listened to his subordinates' reports on recent investment projects during a meeting. He was also a little absent-minded.
When the meeting ended, it was already eleven o'clock.
He finally made up his mind and called Lu Yuqing.
After Lu Yuqing answered the phone, he asked: "Luo Ren? What's going on?"
"You..." Luo Ren didn't know how to ask, but at this moment, he heard a voice.
"Doctor Lu... let me ask you to go to the inpatient department. Regarding the newly admitted patient cursed by the double ghost, the inpatient department has not accepted such a patient for a long time..."
