"Um?" I was stunned again. "What are you thanking me for?"
Her gentle and sweet voice reached my ears. Although I didn't know what she was thanking me for, I felt an overwhelming warmth and comfort, as if all my fatigue and pain had vanished into thin air.
The girl smiled but didn't say anything.
At that moment, the people in white surrounding us all smiled at me, nodded, and then turned to leave.
I looked at them curiously and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
They just kept smiling and didn't answer me.
I looked down at the girl in my arms; she was still smiling at me, her expression full of gratitude.
I smiled back.
Their bodies floated away like pieces of paper blown by the north wind, gently and softly, gradually disappearing until they simply merged into the vast expanse of white around us.
I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, like soaking in a hot spring during a cold winter—warm and soothing, making me want to sigh in contentment.
All my fatigue and pain disappeared in that moment.
I really wanted to stay there forever.
...
When I woke up again, I clearly knew I was in a hospital, with tubes inserted all over my body. I tried to move my fingers, but even that small action felt incredibly difficult.
Before me was a sea of white.
White walls, white sheets, white blankets.
The tubes attached to me made me uncomfortable.
I attempted to sit up but couldn't move at all.
I turned my eyes to look beside me.
A nurse sat next to me, focused on her phone and completely unaware that I had woken up.
From her phone came the sound of news reports:
[Today's Hot Topic: Binhai City corporate giant Umbrella Corporation chairman Mao Wang missing; their abandoned headquarters suddenly caught fire, flames soaring on-site; currently, no injuries reported...]
[Today's Hot Topic: An elderly man living alone, Zhang Guitian, died instantly when his home exploded; no other casualties reported; the cause of the accident is still under investigation...]
Listening to the news beside me, I felt a mix of emotions. I opened my mouth to speak, but only a muffled sound came out.
The caregiver heard the noise, suddenly looked up, and saw that I had opened my eyes. She immediately stood up and ran out of the room, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor!"
However, just as the caregiver rushed out, an old man in a security uniform slipped in. The old man was thin and had a gloomy expression. He walked into the room and turned to lock the door behind him.
I looked at him in surprise, a sense of foreboding rising within me. The old man approached my bed and glanced at my body, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
"Kid, you really know how to get me into trouble!" he muttered, suddenly leaning down and grabbing my neck.
I stared at him in terror, wanting to struggle, but I couldn't move at all. The old man looked at my panicked expression and sneered coldly, "Do you know? You ruined my life's work; I will never let you go."
"Who... who are you?" I asked with great difficulty.
The old man squinted his eyes and leaned closer to my ear, saying ominously, "Do you remember that book?"
"Book? What book?" I looked at him in confusion.
Suddenly, my eyes widened in realization. "You are Zhang Guitian!"
The old man replied fiercely, "Good that you know! Return what you took from me, or else..."
