Rise

Shaking his head, Zhou Wei tried to temporarily put aside the slight doubt lingering in his heart.

Maybe it's just an illusion.

After all... In a place like a hospital, all kinds of patients are constantly coming and going. Nurses are busy taking care of patients, and doctors may also be busy with surgeries. Under such circumstances, it should not be possible for people to feel how The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful.

only--

His eyes swept across the hall on the first floor again, and Zhou Wei found that such a reason seemed to be unable to completely convince himself.

Because, this is the inpatient department.

That is where the sick rest.

It stands to reason that all kinds of emergency patients should be sent to the main building of the hospital next door, and most of the doctors should be in charge of surgery there, and if it is the inpatient department... According to his understanding, it should be It is better to make the atmosphere more peaceful and quiet. To make the hospitalized patients feel relaxed is the right way to recuperate.

But in front of me...

Zhou Wei noticed that not only were the doctors and nurses rushing about with dignified expressions, but also the inpatients wearing gray and white striped hospital gowns... When they gathered together in twos and threes and talked in a low voice, their faces were all pale. With a worried look.

It's really not like the normal atmosphere of an inpatient department.

more like—

Something serious happened.

The doubt in my heart gradually turned into some kind of inexplicable faint uneasiness, as if my mood was also affected by the atmosphere in the lobby of the inpatient department, but Zhou Wei, who remembered his mission when he came, took a deep breath and shook again. Shaking his head, he found the direction of the information desk and walked over quickly.

Sitting in front of the information desk was a fat, middle-aged British female nurse. She was wearing a white nurse uniform and looked a little fat and bloated, with a white nurse cap on her head. When Zhou Wei walked to the front of the desk, she was holding a pen and crumpling He frowned and wrote something on a medical record form.

This is also the daily work of the nurses working at the information desk.

However, at this moment, the chubby middle-aged female nurse seemed to be a little absent-minded. There were two stacks of forms in front of her. A small stack, and the one she was filling out was still clean and white, holding the pen but never dropping it.

Zhou Wei glanced at the nameplate on the chest of the female nurse, on which the word "Jessica" was written in English, and then he coughed lightly, finally arousing the attention of the female nurse, looked up at the former, The frowning brows still did not relax:

"what can I help you?"

Zhou Wei nodded, glanced at the two rows of wards in the corridor not far away, then quickly retracted his gaze, looked at the slightly fat middle-aged female nurse, and showed a friendly smile:

"Yes."

"I came to visit a patient and hope to get information about her ward."

A very normal and reasonable request.

So the female nurse Jessica let out a "huh", her eyes turned to the screen of a computer in front of her, she moved and operated the mouse to call up the patient ward database of the inpatient department, and at the same time asked casually:

"Name?"

It's done.

Feeling that the task was about to be completed, Zhou Wei felt a little relieved, and with a smile on his face, he replied without hesitation:

"Her name is AnXin."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to thank the gentleman with a decent smile at the fat female nurse:

"Thank-you."

However.

next moment.

The middle-aged chubby female nurse in front of the consultation desk suddenly stopped when she heard the movement in her hands, and then her gaze suddenly turned to Zhou Wei's face:

"An Xin?"

"Who are you to Cassie?"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, never expecting that his words would cause such a strong reaction from the fat middle-aged female nurse. Guessing that Cassie was probably the girl's English name, he hurriedly wanted to explain, But before the words came to his lips, he was embarrassed and found that he didn't seem to know how to answer:

"I... I am..."

Seeing Zhou Wei's hesitation and hesitation, the female nurse Jessica's eyes were obviously more vigilant, and the eyes that looked at the former up and down seemed to be looking at a bad guy with ulterior motives and evil intentions. After a long time, Zhou Wei finally found an excuse explain:

"I was entrusted to visit her."

This is the truth.

But such an answer is obviously impossible to satisfy Jessica. The fat middle-aged female nurse's eyes are full of suspicion and guard:

"Entrusted by someone?"

"who?"

"And what's his relationship with Cassie?"

The tone is aggressive.

It was almost like an interrogation.

Zhou Wei was a little tongue-tied when he was questioned for a while, what is the relationship between Vice President Chu and that girl, how could he know such things without asking too much...

Unexpectedly, a small matter that should be extremely simple and convenient in the original expectation would become so troublesome. Unable to bear the headache, Zhou Wei tried his best to adjust his mood, and squeezed out a smile again:

"Sorry, I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I was entrusted by a friend to visit Cassie."

"Could you please tell me her ward number?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jessica almost full of pleading hope.

However, still useless.

The extremely sincere request was directly and mercilessly rejected by the middle-aged fat female nurse:

"no!"

"Sorry, St. Edinburgh has a rule that we cannot casually disclose the patient's hospitalization information to irrelevant personnel. If you can't provide sufficient identification, please go back!"

This sentence completely made Zhou Wei a little anxious.

What's the meaning?

Drive people away?

He promised Vice President Chu to help complete the task, but he encountered such a hard nail when he arrived at the place. Vice President Chu is still in the country waiting for news at the moment, how could he just do it? So come back empty-handed.

Moreover, although the middle-aged female nurse in front of him seemed to make such a point, he was not stupid and knew very clearly that the other party did not refuse because of some hospital regulations, but obviously had an inexplicable guard against him. Guard against—

The most terrible thing is that he didn't understand why this female nurse named Jessica seemed to have such strong hostility towards him when she came up.

Or... are the medical staff in this part of the UK so unreasonable?

In a hurry, Zhou Wei couldn't help leaning forward slightly, stretched out his hand to press the countertop of the consultation desk, looked at the fat female nurse, and asked eagerly again:

"Nurse!"

"Please! I'm really not a bad person!"

But the more he was like this, the more vigilant Jessica was. She looked at the former with great vigilance. The slightly fat middle-aged female nurse took a step back subconsciously, but her eyes still did not give way to Zhou Wei, sternly emphasizing that :

"no!"

"Sir, if you do this again, I will call security!"

As if to confirm this sentence, not far from the door, a tall black man in a security uniform was slowly walking towards the information desk with a baton in his hand, his deep voice was polite but still warning. Zhou Wei opened his mouth:

"Sir, I suggest that you leave first—"

Zhou Wei couldn't spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard it.

The situation has turned into such a situation that he really can't understand at all, what the hell, he just made a very normal request, even just mentioned the girl's name... How can the situation be changed? Be like this! ?

Fortunately.

It was at this time.

Finally... Along with the sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the corridor, a calm and serious middle-aged male voice sounded:

"what happened?"
