Stars In His Eyes

"I see." The doctor responded, turning to look at He Zhilan, and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel after waking up? You know what happened yesterday, right?"

"Somewhat." He Zhilan nodded, directing her gaze at He Teng, and said, "Brother, I didn’t attempt suicide."

"I know." He Teng nodded, urging her, "Answer the doctor’s question first."

Only then did He Zhilan tell the doctor that she felt weak all over, with her head heavy and feet light. Sometimes, the things in front of her seemed to be swaying and floating, and occasionally she felt dizzy.

"That’s normal. You have a bit of a fever. Pay attention to your physical conditioning, detoxification, and maintaining emotional stability. Don’t have ups and downs. Your physical function is poor, take good care of yourself." The doctor nodded, advised some precautions, and then left the ward.

Only after the doctor left did He Teng return to his seat where he had sat all night. He spoke in a succinct and clear tone, "Yesterday you fell ill. While Chen Xiting was out getting medicine for you, Gu En put a lot of sleeping pills in your water and had you drink it. Later, it was Lin Chan who noticed something was wrong and sent you to the hospital for timely rescue."

"It was Gu En?" He Zhilan was extremely ill yesterday morning, and was groggy all morning, so she had no idea that Gu En had come after Chen Xiting left. She said, "No wonder I felt like I was drowning in a river in my sleep yesterday morning."

"Gu En has already been taken to the station by Chen Yun. This time, I won’t let her off." When He Teng mentioned Gu En, he gnashed his teeth, thinking that the slap he had given Gu En yesterday was too light. Considering the torment He Zhilan endured in the hospital, that slap was utterly unsatisfying.
