From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 82: The Only Contact

Chapter 82 -82: The Only Contact

Qiao Yi vaguely saw the situation inside the emergency room when the nurse went in.

Several doctors and nurses were covered in blood, with a person lying on the operating table, but she couldn’t see the person’s condition.

The blood on those people pricked Qiao Yi’s eyes, making her suddenly anxious.

Not long after, the nurse came out with a clipboard and walked over to Qiao Yi.

“Nurse, how is my friend doing?”

The nurse was about to speak but then saw Lu Yanchuan standing beside Qiao Yi and inquired with her eyes about Lu Yanchuan’s identity.

...

Qiao Yi didn’t know what exactly had happened to Sun Keke and was concerned whether others heard it, but upon receiving the nurse’s gaze, she quickly explained.

“This is my husband, not an outsider!”

Lu Yanchuan was visibly startled, giving Qiao Yi a deep look before suddenly speaking.

“I’ll go buy you something to eat.”

After saying this, Lu Yanchuan voluntarily left.

Seeing Lu Yanchuan actively stepping aside, the nurse seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and talked to Qiao Yi about Sun Keke’s situation.

“The patient was sexually assaulted and suffered a miscarriage due to the violent act. She’s now stabilized. Here’s the bill; please go make the payment first.”

After handing over the two bills to Qiao Yi, the nurse left with the clipboard. Qiao Yi stared blankly at the bills in her hand, the nurse’s words echoing in her mind.

Sun Keke… was pregnant?

Regardless, Qiao Yi went to pay for the surgery and hospitalization expenses first and, upon her return, the surgery had finished, and the unconscious Sun Keke was pushed out into the ward.

Since Sun Keke’s condition was critical and coupled with excessive blood loss, although the surgery was completed, she was still in danger and needed to completely stabilize before visits were allowed.

Lu Yanchuan said he was going to buy food for Qiao Yi, and he indeed did. Returning with a food box, he saw Qiao Yi standing in front of the window and pulled her back to the chair to eat.

Qiao Yi ate absentmindedly, her mind constantly pondering Sun Keke’s situation.

They had just met the day before yesterday, and Sun Keke didn’t want to attend the auction, perhaps because she knew there would be ambiguous interactions between the holders of the main and secondary invitations.

Qiao Yi had agreed to help Sun Keke dispose of her invitation reasonably, but after that, she hadn’t paid any more attention to Sun Keke.

When she got the news from Sun Keke just now, it was at the hotel.

In just a short day, what exactly had Sun Keke encountered!

“Do you need help looking into it?”

Lu Yanchuan didn’t ask about Sun Keke’s situation. Noticing that Qiao Yi looked very worried, he asked.

Qiao Yi’s eyes brightened, but then she shook her head disheartedly.

“Let’s wait until she wakes up.”

If Lu Yanchuan helped, they could definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, but the incident that happened to Sun Keke was an unbearable blow for any girl…

So, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Qiao Yi didn’t realize that her moment of kindness would bring her so much trouble in the future.

But that was a story for another time. Qiao Yi stood outside Sun Keke’s ward for a while longer, and the nurse from before brought over the belongings Sun Keke had when she was admitted to the hospital.

In fact, there weren’t many things, just a handbag and a dress.

The dress was a simple women’s long gown with a lot of blood on it, and the bag contained some common items.

Qiao Yi didn’t have the habit of rummaging through others’ belongings and just glanced at them before setting the items aside.

However, Lu Yanchuan looked over at the pile of belongings and said to Qiao Yi.

“Check her phone contacts. Why did she contact you when something happened to her?”

Qiao Yi was startled, hesitating whether or not to look.

After all, it’s other people’s property, and it doesn’t seem right to pry…

“Don’t you want to find her family? Do you plan to stay here indefinitely?”

That was true; she and Sun Keke were barely friends, and it wasn’t her obligation to take care of her.

Qiao Yi composed herself and then picked up Sun Keke’s phone.

Strangely, Sun Keke’s phone had no password and opened right away.

Qiao Yi glanced at Lu Yanchuan and, seeing that he wasn’t looking this way at all, pursed her lips before continuing to search for Sun Keke’s contact list.

Upon opening Sun Keke’s address book, Qiao Yi was surprised again.

This string of contact numbers, they all had no notes, just a series of digits!

Among these numbers, only two or three had names attached, and the closest one was hers, noted simply as “Qiao Yi.”

Looking further down, the next number with a noted name read “Landlord,” and the last time of contact was two months ago!

Going through the string of numbers, Qiao Yi felt complicated and a sense of unclear sympathy for Sun Keke in the hospital ward.

Apart from those past contacts that didn’t mean much, the only new contact Sun Keke added in the past two months was her.

No wonder the nurse didn’t look for anyone else and directly called her—it was because Sun Keke’s phone had no one else!

The unnoted numbers were plentiful, but without knowing the relationship between the numbers’ holders and the patient, how were they supposed to make contact!

“What should I do, the only contacts of any note in Sun Keke’s phone are just me, the rest have no remarks…”

Qiao Yi wasn’t bothered by Sun Keke being a burden, but she simply couldn’t afford to stay in the hospital 24/7 to take care of Sun Keke. She couldn’t just leave her alone here, could she!

“Why don’t you hire a caretaker first, then come back when she wakes up.”

Lu Yanchuan offered a good suggestion, and after thinking for a bit, Qiao Yi agreed that was the only option.

“You go ahead if you have things to do. I’ll wait a bit longer, and leave after the caretaker arrives.”

Qiao Yi shrugged; since she had taken on this matter, waiting a little longer was not an issue.

Lu Yanchuan, however, didn’t move after hearing Qiao Yi’s words, simply pulling out his phone and silently messaging someone.

Seeing that Lu Yanchuan had no intention of leaving, Qiao Yi didn’t insist, taking out her own phone to pass the time.

“Family members of the patient in Room 26, please come to the nurse’s station!”

While Qiao Yi was engrossed in her phone, the broadcast suddenly came on.

Room 26? Wasn’t that Sun Keke’s room?

It took a moment for Qiao Yi to realize what was happening, then she put away her phone and went to the nurse’s station at the end of the hallway.

“Are you the family member of the patient in Room 26? Here’s the situation: since you and the patient are just friends and we’re unable to reach the patient’s immediate family, we’re asking if you can contact the patient’s immediate relatives?”
