Sitting by Muriel's bed, Richard kept staring at her pale face, which made him feel as if a knife was piercing his heart. He couldn't help but shed tears.
Muriel woke up and saw Richard's red eyes. She was surprised and wanted to ask Richard what happened, but found that she was too weak to speak at all.
When Richard saw that Muriel had woken up, he hurriedly approached her and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Muriel's lips moved slightly and she couldn't speak, but Richard could tell from her mouth shape that she was fine.
Seeing that Muriel couldn't make a sound, Richard's heart sank and hurriedly pressed the call light at the bedside. When the nurses and doctors in the office saw the call light, they quickly walked over, pushed the door open and asked, "What's wrong? 'What? Muriel woke up? '
The doctor had thought that Muriel wouldn't wake up until the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect that she would wake up in the evening on the day of the operation. It was really surprising to him.
Richard hurriedly said to the doctor, "Muriel can't make a sound. Doctor, please have a look."
The doctor and nurse immediately checked up Muriel, and all her physical conditions were normal.
"She just woke up and is too weak to speak. She will be fine in a few days."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." The doctor put away the record board and saw that Richard had been keeping an eye on Muriel. Even though he knew that she was unlikely to get pregnant in the future, he still didn't give up on her. The doctor knew that Richard was infatuated with her, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" The nurse who was walking beside felt the doctor was a little strange.
The doctor shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Silence returned to the ward again. It was the first time that Muriel had seen such an expression on Richard's face. Richard, who had always been confident that he would protect her for the rest of his life, had such a fragile moment because of her.
Muriel frowned and moved her lips apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Richard could see the shape of Muriel's mouth. He reached out his hand and gently smoothed Muriel's hair hanging by her cheek. "You know you're sorry. Be careful next time, okay? Don't make me worry about you anymore."
Muriel opened and closed her thin lips, "I will. Aren't you going back to work?"
"I'll leave soon. Don't say anything more. Have a good rest. I'll be here with you."
Muriel winked at Richard with a smile and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a dead silence in the hospital. Occasionally, a strong wind blew the leaves and made some noise.
Max was wearing a loose and big hoodie, and the hood was pulled up and covered on his head. He was wearing a lot of coat inside and a pair of high-heeled shoes. If the staff of the crew looked at him from behind, they could hardly recognize him.
In the quiet hospital building, only his footsteps could be heard. He nervously grabbed the syringe hidden at the sleeve of his clothes. He always felt that someone was following him, but when he suddenly looked back, there was no one.
This made him even more scared. He quickened his pace towards Muriel's ward.
In the morning, when the reporters were intercepted by the security guards in the hospital, they didn't take a picture of Muriel's face, but took a picture of the ward number. Judging from the exposed ward number, Max knew where Muriel's ward was.
"Just give her an injection." Max comforted himself.
Max lowered his head and pulled the hood over his head worriedly. In this way, it would be difficult for the police to see her face if they checked the surveillance video.
