Open the Door
After a day and a night of rescue efforts, Marie temporarily escaped danger.
But he also became a vegetable...
Three days later, Marie was transferred to a regular ward. She lay in bed with her eyes closed, both legs and arms in casts, and tubes inserted all over her body.
Marie's parents finally put aside their work and anxiously guarded their daughter, without noticing the boy sitting outside the ward playing with his phone for the past few days.
Wade held a large bouquet of flowers and carried a fruit basket as he knocked on the door. "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Wade. I am here on behalf of our classmates to visit Marie..."
The mother looked quite haggard and said, "Ah... thank you all..."
Wade opened his mouth and began to console. He started by mentioning how Marie was a model student at school, loved by both teachers and classmates. He then talked about her cheerful and helpful personality. He mentioned how unfair it was that she had been involved in a car accident, and went on and on about it. Finally, he subtly steered the conversation back on track.
"Huh, Uncle and Auntie, why is Marie still wearing the ring?"
Wade pointed at Marie's right hand.
It was a ring made of chicken blood vine.
In theory, when undergoing surgery, all jewelry on the body should be removed.
Mother said with red eyes, "This was begged for on Marie's birthday, saying it could bring her good luck. It was taken off during the surgery before, and I just put it back on her..."
She hoped that this ring, which brought good luck to her daughter, would make her daughter wake up soon.
Wade discreetly glanced at the ring, then looked at the evil ghost lying on top of Marie.
At this moment, the evil ghost didn't know why it felt restless. When it saw Wade, it raised its crimson eyes and stared at him fiercely.
Wade averted his gaze and said, "Uncle and Aunt, then I will go back first. I hope Marie recovers soon!"
The couple sent Wade away.
Zion, who was sitting outside the corridor, also stood up and left from another direction.
The mother glanced subconsciously, but thought that Zion was also a patient's family member, probably from one of the nearby wards. There were too many patient's family members sitting in the corridor every day, many of whom looked familiar.
The two brothers met downstairs.
Wade said, "That ring should be the key token, but it must have been difficult to get the ring now."
Zion: "You went to steal."
Wade: "???"
Did you speak human language?
He was very speechless and muttered under his breath, "When my sister comes back, I will be the first one to complain to her."
Zion: "..."
However, it seems that stealing was the only way, but as long as Marie was in the ward, one of her parents would always be by her side.
Zion said, "When she went for her routine check-up."
At that time, there were many people queuing up, pushing the sickbeds, and undergoing examinations. They had to register and queue up to get the forms back and forth. There would always be opportunities.
Wade nodded, "So what do we do now?"
Zion looked at the time and said, "They didn't have the inspection today, but it will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's go check on Sara first."
He stayed outside the ward for several days and did not come away empty-handed.
He would often hear that evil ghost shouting at Marie.
Wake up quickly! If you don't wake up, there will be no one to take care of Sara, and she will starve to death!
If Brett came back and found you lying there ignoring his sister, he would definitely be very disappointed in you!
This evil ghost is indeed related to Brett.

At this moment, Sara was cooking instant noodles at home all by herself, feeling very aggrieved.
Marie, who liked her brother, got hit by a car and now there is no one to cook for her.
She had been eating instant noodles and steamed buns for several days. She didn't like eating out because whenever she went to eat alone, she would always be asked, "Are you alone? Where are your family members?"
So unless she was very hungry, Sara would not go to a nearby restaurant to eat.
"Why haven't you been discharged yet..."
A few days ago, Sara was still worried about Marie.
There was a deep sense of fear in the heart, and I kept wondering if she had caused harm to her.
After a few days had passed, Sara gradually felt that it had become irrelevant to her.
Marie liked her brother, so she was good to her. She saved her for herself.
Therefore, after eating instant noodles for a few days, she began to feel a bit resentful in her heart. Why hasn't Marie been discharged yet and come over to cook for her?
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Sara thought it was Marie. Did she get discharged so quickly?
But those people said that she was seriously injured and couldn't wake up...
Is it my older brother?!
Sara's eyes lit up, and she immediately opened the doorbell video - her brother had said to always check the doorbell video before opening the door, no matter who was knocking, to make sure who was outside!
As she looked at the result, indeed, there was a tall figure, clearly a young boy. The surprise on Sara's face didn't last for half a second before it collapsed.
Because she realized that the young man outside the door was not her brother, she looked familiar but couldn't remember who he was.
"Who is it?" Sara asked through the doorbell.
Zion looked indifferent and casually said, "Open the door, the property management is here to check the water meter."
Sara: "..."
Wade: "....?"
