Jiang Chi finally learned how to write by hand. He sat at the head of the bed, holding his phone and concentrating on writing out the words he knew one by one, with a small light flashing in his dark eyes.
Sister Zhang called him twice, but he didn’t respond. She reached out and patted him gently, saying, “Kid, the doctor is talking to you.”
Jiang Chi hid the light in his eyes and looked at Dr. Yu with pursed lips.
Doctor Yu was a gentle, fair-skinned man with a warm smile: “Have you had lunch? If not, I’ll bring you some from the cafeteria later.”
Jiang Chi ignored him, lowered his head and continued typing.
He really disliked this doctor, especially after he hinted to Jiang Lan that he was sick two days ago. No matter how Dr. Yu talked to him in the past two days, he ignored him.
If someone showed you kindness without any reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.
“This kid might be embarrassed.” Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Sister Zhang next to him awkwardly tried to smooth things over: “I ordered lunch, but it hasn’t been delivered yet. No need to bother you.”
Dr. Yu smiled and said okay.
When he turned around, his eyes had darkened. He walked to the door, glanced sideways at the young patient with dull eyes on the bed, moved his lips slightly, and then left the ward.
….
Lunch was ordered from the hospital’s unified catering service. Reservation had to be made the day before and the logistics department would deliver it directly to the ward the next day.
Every time at this time, the ward was the busiest. Family members who accompanied the patients would take some cold meals to the tea room to heat them up, and gather in groups of three or four to chat.
Sister Zhang had become familiar with the two family members in the ward over the past two days. After getting the food, she went to the tea room with them. There were only three patients and Jiang Chi left in the ward.
Jiang Chi touched his grandmother’s hand and saw that her lips were a little chapped, so he took a cotton swab and dipped it in water to moisten her lips.
The young patient in the next bed suddenly shouted, “Monster, go away!”
Jiang Chi subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw that the patient was staring at him, his hands and feet still struggling.
There was no one in the corridor or the ward at this moment. So, Jiang Chi ignored him and directly pressed the call bell.
The young patient was still muttering “monster”, his bloodshot eyes staring at Jiang Chi, his body struggling and twitching with increasing intensity.
The nurse he called hadn’t come yet. Jiang Chi hesitated for a moment, then stood up and prepared to go out to call for help.
However, his action seemed to stimulate the other party. The young patient suddenly reacted with a strong struggle and actually broke free from the restraints. He dragged his injured leg in the plaster cast off the bed and walked towards the crazy woman Li with a crazy look on his face.
Jiang Chi stopped walking and turned back to guard the bed. He pressed the call bell several times.
“Monster, monster!”
The young patient’s expression became more and more distorted and hideous. He looked at Jiang Chi with fear and disgust, as well as a hint of despair and madness that came from being cornered. He approached the bed of Crazy Woman Li, reached out to pull the IV tube, and cursed viciously, “You are all monsters! You all deserve to die! Go to hell!”
Jiang Chi certainly wouldn’t let him succeed, so he pushed him away fiercely, his eyes full of hostility: “Get out!”
The patient fell to the ground after being pushed by him, but he seemed not to feel any pain. He staggered to his feet again, his expression full of malice and determination: “Monsters should die! Why don’t you die?!”
He pounced on Jiang Chi, his veiny hands tightly grasped Jiang Chi’s neck, with a despair of dying together: “Go to hell, go to hell, let’s die together. You won’t be able to see me when I die, hahahaha…”
Jiang Chi’s face flushed red. He groped around and grabbed a heavy object, then smashed it down on his head.
The iron kettle was hit so hard that it had a dent, but the other party refused to let go. Jiang Chi was out of breath and became ruthless. He gritted his teeth and hit him on the head again and again.
After a while, the patient’s face was covered in blood and he let go of his hand in pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Chi covered his neck and gasped for air. Unexpectedly, the other party took off his hat, pointed at the horn on his head and laughed nervously: “Monster! Soon everyone will find out your true face! You can’t hurt anyone!”
As he said this, he staggered to his feet and ran out, shouting, “Help! Monsters are eating people! Monsters are eating people!”
It was lunch time, and most of the nurses at the nurses’ station were eating and resting. The family members who came out from other wards after hearing the noise saw that his head and face were covered in blood, and they did not dare to approach him. They could only watch him run outside.
Jiang Chi listened to the shouting outside, and after a moment of panic, he suddenly reacted, wrapped his head with his coat, and strode out.
He had to get his hat back!
The nurses and security guards who arrived upon hearing the noise chased after him and tried to stop the patient, but he had already run into the corridor, with one foot over the railing as if he was about to jump down. The nurses were afraid of irritating him and did not dare to approach him.
They could only calm down their expression and gently persuade him to come down.
The young patient was riding on the railing, with half of his body hanging in the air. He grinned and pointed at Jiang Chi who was chasing after him: “The monster is coming! The monster can’t catch up with me, haha.”
Everyone looked back in shock, only to see Jiang Chi rushing forward silently and grabbing the black hat in the patient’s hand.
The crowd immediately cried out in surprise, anxiously and angrily calling for Jiang Chi to come back and stop irritating the patient.
Jiang Chi held on to his hat tightly and refused to move, his eyes looking somewhat fierce.
The patient held onto his other side and held on to him, then he let go of the hand holding the railing with a smile and unexpectedly pulled off the coat that Jiang Chi had wrapped around his head: “He’s a monster! Look, look quickly!”
He danced with his hands and feet, his body swaying, but his face was twisted with ecstasy and pride.
Screams broke out from the crowd. Jiang Chi snatched the hat away, put it on with gritted teeth, and walked towards the ward with his head lowered.
But as soon as he took a step forward, the crowd surrounding him took a step back and looked at him in horror.
Jiang Chi paused.
In front of him was a group of people with terrified eyes, and behind him was a mentally ill person who was pointing at him and laughing.
The shrill laughter mixed with the whispers enveloped him tightly. Jiang Chi clenched his fists, and his dark eyes looked around. Everyone he saw was filled with fear and disgust. He slowly pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and his face showed the numbness and indifference he had long been accustomed to.
