One-way Passage - Chapter 99
Xia Wennan heard Ming Luchuan’s words, sat up cross-legged and said, “But he’s gone.”
Ming Luchuan didn’t seem to plan to continue sleeping, so he got up and sat on the bed, reaching out and grabbing the clothes beside the bed: “Where did you go?”
Xia Wennan shook his head: “I don’t know.”
“Then let him go, he’s so old, he won’t get lost,” Ming Luchuan said while getting dressed and getting out of bed.
Xia Wennan scratched his hair and couldn’t help sighing.
That afternoon, he called Ming Qin twice, but Ming Qin did not answer. Before getting off work, Xia Wennan called Ming’s house again, and the aunt explained that Qin had not come back.
Xia Wennan couldn’t wait any longer. He called Ming Luchuan and said, “I’ll go to the hospital.”
“Going to the hospital now?” Ming Luchuan asked.
Xia Wennan said: “I went to see if Mingqin went to see Sichen.”
Ming Luchuan said something to the people around him, and then said to Xia Wennan, “I still have something to do.”
“I’ll go by myself,” Xia Wennan said. “What’s there to worry about going to the hospital? Are you going to tie me to you these days?”
Ming Luchuan seemed to hesitate for a while and said, “I’ll arrange a driver for you.”
Xia Wennan took the Mingluchuan car to the hospital. The parking lot of the hospital was congested, and there was a long queue of cars in front of the hospital gate. Xia Wennan asked the driver to wait for him in the parking lot for a while, and he got out of the car and entered the hospital first.
When he got off the bus, the driver said, “Mr. Xia, call me if you have anything.”
Xia Wennan waved his hand: “I see, nothing will happen.” He just wanted to see if Ming Qin was with him in Ming Sichen’s ward.
It’s past six o’clock in the afternoon, and there are still people coming and going in the lobby on the first floor of the inpatient building.
The moment Xia Wennan walked in from the outside, a wave of heat rushed to his face.
After dodging two people one after another, Xia Wennan bumped into a person behind him.
Walk.
Xia Wennan noticed that his eyes were deep and his facial features looked like a mixed race, but from behind him, his short black hair was slightly curled, poking at the back of his neck in a mess.
In a relatively closed and crowded environment, all kinds of smells are mixed, but Xia Wennan still easily captured a fleeting pheromone smell.
After all, there are not many Alphas here, and it is still a mixed-race Alpha.
Xia Wennan walked through the crowd and walked into the elevator. He didn’t see the Alpha again. As the elevator slowly ascended, he went to the floor where Ming Sichen’s ward was located.
Ming Sichen’s ward was very quiet, Ming Qin was not here, only Aunt Zhang was with him, but Ming Sichen was sober at this time.
Aunt Zhang was sitting on the chair beside the bed and playing with her mobile phone. When she saw Xia Wennan coming, she stood up from the chair and greeted with a smile: “Wennan, are you here?”
Xia Wennan also smiled and nodded: “Aunt Zhang.”
Ming Sichen was lying on the bed, although she opened her eyes, she didn’t look at Xia Wennan, she just stared at the window dully.
Xia Wennan walked to the bedside and waved to Ming Sichen: “Sichen?”
Ming Sichen did not respond.
Xia Wennan had to say to Aunt Zhang, “How long has Sichen been awake?”
Auntie Zhang put the phone in her pocket and clasped her hands in front of her: “I woke up this afternoon.”
“Aren’t you going to help him sit up?”
“Sitting or not is the same, he doesn’t know anything,” Aunt Zhang said in a natural tone.
This kind of nature sounded indifferent in Xia Wennan’s ears. But Xia Wennan didn’t say anything. He had only been at Ming’s house for a year or two, but Aunt Zhang had brought up Ming Sichen and Ming Siyan’s two brothers from a young age. In comparison, Xia Wennan was probably more like an outsider.
Xia Wennan stood by the bed and watched Ming Sichen for a while, then asked Aunt Zhang, “Did Dad come today?”
Aunt Zhang said, “Mr. Ming has never been here.”
“Ah,” Xia Wennan replied. He was actually a little surprised, because he couldn’t think of where Ming Qin could go besides coming to the hospital.
He originally came to find Ming Qin, but now that he has not seen Ming Qin, it is not easy to leave immediately, so he can only sit down and accompany Ming Sichen for ten minutes.
Ming Sichen may not need the company of Xia Wennan, he spends most of the time with his eyes open in a daze, Aunt Zhang and Xia Wennan obviously have nothing to say, the ward maintains an awkward silence until Xia Wennan felt that the time was almost up, he exhaled lightly, stood up and said, “Then I’ll go first.”
Aunt Zhang sent him to the door of the ward.
Xia Wennan walked out and closed the door. The corridor outside the ward was filled with the aroma of food, and Xia Wennan suddenly felt hungry, and then he remembered that he hadn’t had time to eat dinner.
He stood there and hesitated for a while, thinking whether to call Ming Luchuan to ask him if his work was over, or call Ye Shuqiu and ask him to have dinner together.
When he was hesitating, Xia Wennan suddenly smelled a faint pheromone smell in the air, which was familiar to him. It was the pheromone of the Alpha he just met downstairs.
He raised his head and looked around, but did not see the figure of the Alpha.
Xia Wennan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and walked slowly towards the elevator.
Going all the way down to the first floor, Xia Wennan stood in the lobby of the inpatient building for a while, when his cell phone rang suddenly.
He thought it was Ming Luchuan, but he picked up the phone and found that the caller was Lin Shuqiu.
“Hello?” Xia Wennan answered the phone.
Lin Shuqiu’s tone was very serious: “Wennan, I have something to tell you.”
Xia Wennan stood up straighter when she heard this sentence: “What’s wrong?”
Lin Shuqiu said: “Part of the results of Ming Sichen’s blood test came out. We suspect that his current state is not caused by head trauma, but the result of long-term use of psychotropic drugs.”
“Ah?” Xia Wennan was stunned.
Lin Shuqiu said: “In this case, the people around him have been giving him medicine, do you want to investigate?”
Xia Wennan said, “Oh, I’ll discuss it with his family right away.”
“I’ll call you again when the results of the more detailed inspection come out.”
“Are you in the hospital now?” Xia Wennan asked before Lin Shuqiu hung up.
Lin Shuqiu said, “I’m not here, I’m going to school in the afternoon.”
Xia Wennan had to say: “Okay, thank you.”
Hang up the phone, Xia Wennan’s head fell into a brief confusion. He called Ming Luchuan, but Ming Luchuan didn’t answer, maybe he was busy before work was over.
So he turned and walked towards the elevator, calling Ming Qin while walking.
This time, after the call was made, Ming Qin hung up the phone without answering.
“Fuck!” Xia Wennan couldn’t help swearing, and said to the unanswered phone: “What a useless waste dad.”
