Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 40: Hotel Pinono (19)

The dull man with lifeless eyes finally came to his senses and stared at the white coat with wide eyes.

"You...you can?..."

His wife had been sleeping for too long, and even his father-in-law had lost hope in the matter. Only he had been insisting on keeping the equipment running, believing that his wife would wake up one day.

"Yes, Mr. Li, this is a very simple matter. As long as you nod your head and agree, the operation can be carried out immediately."

The man in the white coat patted his chest with confidence and gave the other party a reassurance.

"me……"

The man turned to look at his wife, hesitated for a few minutes, gritted his teeth, looked up at the white coat in front of him, he had no choice, he... only had Xiaomei.

When Xie Yueye saw this, he understood that his guess was correct. The hotel’s kitchen and the first floor of the hospital were closely related.

"I promise you."

After the man said this, a well-shaped nurse in a white coat handed him a board.

The man took the board and saw the surgery consent form on it. Without reading the contents carefully, he signed his name below.

"Li Huai..."

Xie Yueye stood behind the man and read out the name above. Sure enough, this man's name appeared in Lin Yin's memory.

Li Huai signed his name and handed the board back.

"Haha, then let's prepare for the surgery now."

The man in the white coat waved his hand, and two nurses wearing masks walked in from outside the door and left pushing the bed.

Li Huai looked at the scattered instrument tubes, stunned for a while, tears flowed from his eyes again, and he kept muttering about his parents. At this moment he understood what money and power could bring.

Xie Yueye looked at Li Huai's expression and roughly guessed what happened next.

After the night turned dark and the sky turned light, Xie Yueye saw the beautiful bride named Xiaomei lying on the bed without any instruments.

The girl lay quietly on the bed, her breathing was steady and her face was rosy. It was impossible to imagine that she had been shot and almost died in the bed.

Behind the man, there was the sound of a door being pushed open, and a figure rushed towards the bed.

"My poor daughter!!!"

The girl's father threw himself beside his daughter's bed. His tangled hair and stained suit showed that he had undergone a great change.

"Father-in-law, Xiaomei is safe now. You don't have to worry."

Li Huai walked in with extremely steady steps, his voice no longer stuttering as before, and he looked full of vigor and vitality.

Xie Yueye stared at the man. He was too familiar with this expression. There was an imperceptible contempt in Li Huai's eyes towards his father-in-law.

"You!!! You!!! You!!! You are such a heartless person!"

The middle-aged man stood up. Although his sturdy figure still showed his previous posture, it was obvious that he had lost a lot of weight due to the huge change.

"Me? A ruthless person? Haha."

The man laughed sarcastically and then clapped his hands.

Two bodyguards in black suits instantly appeared at the door of the ward.

"Please send your father-in-law to rest. Don't let him get tired again."

Li Huai's threatening words reached the ears of the middle-aged man. He grinned and raised his fist, ready to hit the man in the face.

"You beast!!!"

Li Huai looked at the middle-aged man in front of him without panic.

"Father-in-law, please."

The middle-aged man did not succeed, but his hands were held down by the two quick-acting bodyguards.

"You will be punished! You robbed my company! And you hurt my poor daughter like this!!!"

The people who had been dragged out were still shouting in the corridor.

Li Huai didn't mind. Now he was no longer afraid of this old man.

Sitting on the chair brought by the bodyguard following behind him, Li Huai lowered his head and looked tenderly at his still sleeping wife.

"Wait a little longer, Xiaomei, please wait a little longer. The miracle doctor said that you need only one more operation, and then you can wake up completely healthy."

After saying that, Li Huai kissed Xiaomei lightly on the lips. Her soft lips were indeed the same as before, which made him more convinced of what the doctor said, that Xiaomei would return to her previous state and wake up peacefully.

Xie Yueye stood aside and watched. Not long after, a person who looked like a secretary came in and leaned close to the man and whispered a few words.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll go check it out."

After hearing this, the man stood up and walked out without looking back. This time, he did not turn around to look at his wife as Xie Yueye had seen before.

Xie Yueye watched the man leave with a complicated look in his eyes.

A crystal tear rolled down Xiaomei's eye after Li Huai left the ward.

When Xie Yueye saw this scene, he knew that things were coming to an end.

Looking at the woman lying on the hospital bed, he thought of Lin Yin, the woman who used her body to seek revenge through illegal means. He didn't know what happened to the girl on the bed, but...

At this moment, Xie Yueye felt a little bit of pity in his heart, but this was someone else's memory, and he couldn't do anything to help this poor girl.

People kept passing by the open ward door, but no one entered.

The flow of people coming and going seemed to be sped up, and Xie Yueye only felt the rapid exchange of day and night behind him.

After an unknown amount of time, the light of the sun appeared behind him again, along with the sound of birds singing.

The girl was still lying there quietly, even the rise and fall of her chest and her rosy complexion did not change at all.

"Squeak-"

The ward door that was closed during the change of day and night was opened.

Xie Yueye felt a chill coming in as the door opened.

Li Huai walked in expressionlessly, and the bodyguard behind him brought him a chair and placed it next to Xiaomei's bed.

Li Huai just glanced at the chair and didn't sit down.

His cold eyes swept over his wife who had not yet woken up.

"Go ask why he hasn't woken up yet."

Xie Yueye felt that the man's words were filled with coldness and a hint of murderous intent. He looked at the still sleeping girl and sighed softly.

"gentlemen……"

Not long after, the bodyguard who went out to question came in hesitantly and walked to Li Huai's side with an expression on his face as if he didn't know how to start.

"Tell it like it is."

"Sir... the doctor's office has been replaced, and the new doctor knows nothing..."

The bodyguard had made a trip on behalf of his employer three days ago and went directly to the residence of the miracle doctor, but the place was empty.

When Li Huai heard this, he clenched his fists, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger. The doctor had promised him that with just one more operation, his wife could wake up, but now.

"Go and find them. Send everyone to find them. If they can't find them, you know the consequences."

The man's cold words immediately panicked the two bodyguards who followed him. They knew very well what methods this man would use.

"We...we'll go find it right away!"

The two bodyguards ran out in panic, and the secretary standing at the door just glanced at the scene expressionlessly and continued to stand there.

"Xiaomei..."

Li Huai pursed his lips and looked at his wife lying there. There were some emotions in his eyes that Xie Yueye could not understand at this moment.
