Chapter 143 Sister, I Can't Afford to Bet
Zhou Miao stood to the side watching Zhou Xun, who was already used to handling things on her own. She forced her younger sister to stay and eat with them. Half an hour later, looking at the food that was still mostly left on the table, she sighed helplessly, then turned around, packed everything up, and put it in the refrigerator.
thought.
The next few days should be fine.
As the deputy director of the police station, Zhou Xun was already busy enough, and she also had to take care of Lin Tian. She was so busy that she was completely overwhelmed. She had promised Zhou Miao that she would come back every few days, but because of time constraints, she had no choice but to leave her home and shuttle back and forth between the hospital and the police station.
Later, Zhou Miao learned that Zhou Xun was busy with work.
So she took on the job of delivering meals, which also allowed her to see her younger sister at the hospital.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Tian had asked Fang's father for leave in advance, otherwise his phone would probably have been ringing off the hook.
After working almost non-stop for a week, Zhou Xun finally had a break and fell asleep next to Lin Tian.
When Zhou Miao came to deliver the food, she saw her younger sister lying on the sofa chair as soon as she entered the door.
She frowned with heartache.
Subconsciously, she asked the nurse beside her, who was about to leave for work, about Lin Tian's situation.
The nurse smiled and said, "Mr. Lin's vital signs are gradually returning to normal. The doctor means he should wake up in the next couple of days."
"That's good."
Her sister can finally get some rest.
The nurse left the room.
Zhou Miao stepped forward and picked up the stall next to her to spread out for Zhou Xun.
The next second, as soon as she looked up, she met Lin Tian's slightly blurry eyes.
Zhou Miao was pleasantly surprised.
But fearing that her voice would wake her younger sister, she deliberately lowered her voice, took the initiative to approach Lin Tian, and bent down to ask.
"Are you alright? How are you feeling? Let me tell you in advance, my sister really didn't mean it this time. If you're unhappy about anything, take it out on me, understand?"
Lin Tian listened in a daze and could only nod as usual.
After a moment's thought, Lin Tian inquired about his situation.
Zhou Miao never expected that Lin Tian would actually lose his memory.
That's true... He didn't react after falling down the stairs last time, so it's normal for him to lose consciousness. It would be strange if you said he didn't have amnesia!
Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhou Miao finally told Lin Tian the truth about his situation.
Lin Tian was shocked.
"Am I that weak? I just collapsed and passed out."
Zhou Miao nodded.
"But why does my stomach hurt so much?"
Lin Tian frowned, subconsciously wanting to touch his waist and abdomen, especially the area around his ribs.
As soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if someone was squeezing him.
Zhou Miao's expression changed drastically.
She knew exactly what was wrong with Lin Tian's health, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
All he could do, feeling melancholy, was ask Lin Tian if he was hungry.
Lin Tian shook his head: "I do feel hungry somewhere. Besides, I just woke up and my throat is a little sore. By the way, Sister Miao, could you get me a glass of water? My mouth is a little dry."
"no problem."
Zhou Miao made an OK sign and then started pouring him water.
This series of actions woke up Zhou Xun, who was already sleeping quite soundly.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Tian wake up.
But when she saw her older sister Zhou Miao arrive, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
I glanced at the time subconsciously and instantly became excited.
"How come it's already this late? Oh my god, I still have other things to do today!"
As she spoke, Zhou Xun got up without stopping, took out her toiletries from the cabinet next to her, and then rushed to the bathroom.
Zhou Miao glanced at Lin Tian, and the two smiled at each other but remained silent.
Just then, a rapid ringing came from the direction of the restroom.
Zhou Xun must have turned on speakerphone, as her little apprentice's voice echoed throughout the single suite.
Therefore, Zhou Xun made every effort to get the hospital to vacate a single suite with three beds. So, Lin Tian had no choice but to endure the attention of passersby outside and turn to rest.
In the restroom, Zhou Xun and her apprentice's conversation was roughly about how Zhou Xun had just been given a critical mission to handle a criminal gang's case. This gang had been operating stealthily, and their recent crime was that they had lured two girls to the border and then abducted them.
There is currently no record of it.
Because Zhou Xun was known as the "Goddess Detective," the police station was willing to entrust this responsibility to her.
It was on the night Lin Tian had his accident that she began to work frantically.
Now, Zhou Xun and her team have finally managed to track down the group of people through their own efforts.
This group remained silent for more than half a year without committing any crimes.
They've continued committing crimes, and this time they've sent a man in his fifties to be their team leader. The apprentice sent the photo to Zhou Xun immediately after seeing it.
Zhou Xun glanced at it, and the back-and-forth exchanges in the restroom abruptly stopped.
Lin Tianxia subconsciously looked at Zhou Miao.
Zhou Miao gave Lin Tian an OK sign and then went inside to check.
"Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you? Your expression is off... This is Daddy!"
Upon hearing Zhou Miao's exclamation, Lin Tian sensed something was wrong and immediately headed for the restroom.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw the enlarged photo on Zhou Xun's phone.
To be honest, this face really does have a resemblance to Zhou Miao and Zhou Xun in terms of their eyebrows.
Fortunately, the call had already been suspended.
Zhou Miao's exclamation went unheard.
Just as the two sisters were about to talk, they suddenly noticed that Lin Tian had gotten out of bed and come over at some point.
Zhou Xun felt as if the fig leaf covering her face had been torn off.
Enraged, she clenched her fists and prepared to pounce.
If Zhou Miao hadn't been there, something really bad might have happened!
"Xiao Xun! Don't get agitated. Don't make things worse and cause Mr. Lin further trauma. We can't afford to compensate for that."
Zhou Xun's eyes were already red.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Miao with seriousness and resentment.
"Second sister, what should we do? This man actually showed up. Isn't he afraid of death? Even if he has committed a heinous crime, doesn't he realize it's his fault? And now he wants to come here and disgust us?"
Zhou Miao gently pulled Zhou Xun, who was acting like a raging little animal, into her arms and soothed her softly, "It's okay, I'm here! Don't be afraid, Xun. That man is back, but he won't harm our interests."
"No!"
Zhou Xun grabbed Zhou Miao, her eyes filled with excitement.
“His return means all my efforts have been in vain, sister… If I don’t have a job, how will you continue your studies? If I don’t have a job, will Mother use the same methods she used on our eldest sister? Sister, I can’t afford to gamble!”
