novelxo Chapter 203 The Telephone Does Not Work?
The atmosphere in the room is frozen. The nurse is discerning. She points at the remote on the bedside cabinet, "Miss Morrison, the TV remote is here. If you feel bored, you can watch TV. And if there is something, please call me."
Worrying about the situation at home, Nina Morrison says, "Thanks, I feel better now. Can I leave the hospital now?"
The nurse shakes her head, "You are poisoned by knockout drops, and you need to be observed closely for 24 hours before discharge from the hospital."
The nurse thinks that Nina Morrison is worrying about the expensive hospitalization expenses, so she adds, "Don't worry, Miss Morrison. All the hospitalization expenses have been pre-paid by that gentleman." Nina Morrison bites her lips. Now, she owes Lucien Gray a favor.
After the nurse leaves, Nina Morrison lies down for a while. She feels bored and turns on the TV.
As soon as she changes the channel to local news, a few words catches her attention.
On the screen, the female anchor is broadcasting, "Last night, a citizen in Bamboo Apartment was poisoned by knockout drops and fainted. The suspect was intended to break into the house and murder. The suspect used a modified injector and injected vaporous knockout drops through the door. The police also found the dagger, silent pistol and other weapons from the suspect. The case is complicated and confusing. The police preliminary believe that it is revenge murder. The case is currently under further trail. The victim was rescued by her friend in time and is now out of danger..."
Next is citizen interview. While Nina Morrison is watching intently, a nursing worker comes in with an vacuum bottle, "Room 202, time for lunch."
Seeing Nina Morrison staring at the TV, the nursing worker purses her lips, "Another publicity stunt. If this victim didn't have a powerful boyfriend, the police wouldn't work so hard on this case. There are countless wrongful convictions which have no clues. For this knockout drops case, they just catch the suspect in no time. That's because the big shot behind called the police chief many times and ordered that they must investigate this case strictly."
The nursing worker finishes talking. She looks at Nina Morrison's bed and suddenly realizes something. She smiles embarrassingly, "I'm just kidding. Don't take it to heart. Such revenge murderers should be cut into pieces!"
Nina Morrison smiles. The nursing worker finally recognizes that she is the victim on the news...
It must have caused big panic last night.
Does Lucien Gray care about her? No, because he refuses to stay at the hospital to accompany her. Yes, because he orders the police to investigate the case over night.
Nina Morrison thinks it over and over again. She couldn't figure it out what exactly Lucien Gray's brain is made of and why he behaves so schizophrenically.
After getting out of hospital, Nina Morrison stays at home for two days before she calls Lucien Gray.
No matter what, he saved her life. It is impolite not to thank him. She calls him. It's nothing about affection, but just about thanks. Nina Morrison tries to find an excuse and her fingers shake slightly. The phone goes through, but there is no sound on the other end. "Hello?" Nina Morrison waits for a while and can't help saying first.
There is still no sound. It's as still as death.
"Hello? Can...Can you hear me?" Nina Morrison starts to lose courage. Is Lucien Gray playing her? Or is her phone broken?
"What a bad luck! Is it broken again? I just spend 5,000 to buy it!" Nina Morrison whispers, picking up the alarm clock next to her and pounding it hard on the phone.
It works in this way for the old broken phone. Tapping on the built-in microphone will work.
