"Excuse me, are you Head Nurse Li?"
"Who are you?"
Among the nurses in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Beiyuan City People's Hospital, fifty-year-old Li Na is the most senior nurse.
"Hello, Head Nurse Li. I would like to ask if you were working here thirty years ago?"
Li Na took off her reading glasses and looked warily at Shen Qingyou in front of her. However, this girl had a delicate and dignified appearance; she didn't seem like a bad person.
"This is how it is..."
Shen Qingyou slowly began to tell Li Na about her background. "So, Head Nurse Li, I really want to find my biological parents. I also want to know why they abandoned me back then. You are the most senior nurse in the People's Hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Do you remember anything about that time?"
Shen Qingyou looked at Li Na with hope. She had asked everyone in the hospital and learned that Head Nurse Li had been there for almost forty years. But after all, it was something that happened thirty years ago; would she remember?
Sure enough, Li Na shook her head. "I'm sorry, it's been too long; I can't recall!"
The only spark of hope in her heart was extinguished!
"Head Nurse Li, do you remember who the doctor in charge was back then?"
Unwilling to give up, Shen Qingyou continued to ask.
"The doctor in charge at that time was Doctor Gu, but she passed away three years ago."
Passed away?
Didn't that mean there was no hope at all?
"However, I vaguely remember that in the winter of '81, Beiyuan City had a heavy snowfall. That night, I was on duty when suddenly a man burst into the hospital carrying a woman. It was freezing cold, but the man was drenched in sweat. The woman in his arms was on the verge of death, her pants soaked in bright red blood. Later, after our desperate efforts to save her, we managed to pull her back from the brink of death. However, the next day, they disappeared without a trace; they didn't even pay for the medical expenses. In the end, it was our director who covered it!"
"This time is about the same as yours, but I don't know if there's any connection between the two!"
Having a clue is certainly better than having no leads at all.
"Do you still remember their lives?"
"I don't remember!" Li Na shook her head. "Ah, I'm getting older, and my memory is starting to fade. That name, I remembered it for many years, but now, I've completely forgotten it!"
"Head Nurse Li, think harder, think harder!"
Shen Qingyou looked at Li Na pleadingly, the only person who might provide her with a clue.
...
Shen Qingyou returned to the eighth floor of Orthopedics with deep disappointment. Sitting in the corridor, she suddenly fell into a daze. It seemed there was no hope from Head Nurse Li; now, who else could provide her with even the slightest hint?
Sigh!
This matter cannot be rushed; it must be taken step by step. With that thought, Shen Qingyou stood up again, forcing out a few smiles before walking towards Qing Cang's room.
"…"
Is someone visiting Qing Shao again?
Through the half-open door, Shen Qingyou's eyes caught sight of a woman with long hair cascading down her shoulders appearing before her.
"Cousin, why can't a chicken hatch from an egg laid by a twenty-one-year-old rooster?"
"Chang, did your injury affect your brain? You can't even answer this simple riddle?"
The long-haired woman stepped forward and touched Qing Shao's forehead. "No fever!"
" cousin, men and women should keep their distance, don't take advantage of me!"
"Oh, our Qing Cang is shy now?"
The long-haired woman lunged at Qing Cang's chest, appearing to outsiders as a couple in a very intimate moment. "Cang, you know, an egg that doesn't hatch after twenty-one days is a bad egg!"
"Haha, haha!"
After she finished speaking, a burst of belly laughter followed. Qing Cang looked at her laughing uncontrollably, and his eyes were also filled with amusement. This brain teaser was something Serene had just told him about yesterday; it was a popular phrase from a recently trending TV show.
Thinking of Serene, it seemed like she had been gone for a long time. Why hasn't she come back yet?
He raised his gaze and happened to see a shadow behind the door. He called out, "Serene, what are you doing out there?"
The long-haired woman turned around, and when her face came into Shen Qingyou's view, Shen Qingyou was instantly petrified...
Why did she look so much like someone else? And that someone was her, Shen Qingyou.
