Hospital 444
Chapter 366 - 19 Soul Falls

Chapter 366: Chapter 19 Soul Falls

Fang Zhou was lost in a myriad of thoughts when he suddenly heard his wife’s shout, and his heart leapt with alarm!

He and Dai Lin immediately rushed into the bedroom, only to witness a terrifying scene!

The child, Xiaomeng, was standing on the windowsill. One more step and she would fall!

Even Fang Zhou couldn’t save her if she died on the spot!

But Wen Xiaoshu threw herself at the windowsill and grabbed the child, pulling her to safety!

"Xiaomeng!"

Fang Zhou turned ashen with fear and lunged forward, then he noticed that his daughter’s expression was very unusual, starkly different from her usual cheerful and lively self, with stiff features and no expression at all!

"Xiaomeng! Xiaomeng!"

Fang Zhou, who had been a paranormal doctor since his early twenties, had such extensive clinical experience that he could deduce Xiaomeng’s symptoms at a glance!

"Dai Lin! Call for me! Call the hospital!" Fang Zhou yelled until he was hoarse.

"Okay... okay!" Dai Lin, of course, knew exactly which "hospital" Fang Zhou meant.

"Forget it, don’t call, I’ll take her myself!" Fang Zhou suddenly came to his senses. He could teleport his daughter to the hospital himself. What was he thinking, making a call at a time like this! This was no time to be considering his wife’s feelings!

"Ah Shu, you stay here and watch the house! I’ll be back soon!"

The moment Fang Zhou dashed out of the bedroom, he teleported into the hallway of the hospital!

He carried his daughter through the hospital corridors and straight to the emergency room!

"Xiaomeng, it’s okay, you’re going to be okay..."

At that moment, Fang Zhou remembered what the butler, Qin, had said during the day.

"This is my last warning to you"...

So, this was his warning!

"The last time"...

Fang Zhou immediately realized that this certainly wasn’t the first time!

Hospital 444 had doctors who had encountered Meiyin Manor before!

And that’s why Vice President Han had told him not to get involved!

...

"Fang Zhou brought his daughter to... the hospital? He headed straight for the emergency center?"

"Yes, a lot of people saw it; they’re all talking about it. Who would be so blind as to mess with him."

Gao Heyan had just returned from making her rounds in the hospital ward when she overheard the doctors discussing this.

"Fortunately, the CT scan showed nothing serious; it must be the work of a ghost." Doctor Lu Jing from the Resentful Spirit Department said to Gao Heyan, "But this is the first time we’ve seen Fang Zhou react like this. He’s the ace physician of the Department of Fierce Spirits, a real expert cutter."

"It’s not surprising," said Lin He, who had also just finished her rounds, "after all, the child is his late wife’s daughter. Back then, his wife was initially his patient when he was still in the Department of Vengeful Ghosts. He cured the curse she had back then, but afterward..."

Many knew the tragedy of Fang Zhou’s wife well. Having lost his wife early, he naturally could not accept any harm coming to his daughter.

"It’s lucky, though. Relatives of doctors can directly deduct from their own Spiritual Therapy Points, without needing to overdraft their future." Lu Jing added, "A ghost’s interference sounds far-fetched. What kind of ghost could approach Fang Zhou without being detected by him?"

That was indeed true. Gao Heyan thought to herself that to Fang Zhou, a ghost was no different from chickens and dogs.

Fang Zhou belonged to the Han Ming Faction, and Gao Heyan was not particularly interested in his affairs, but what intrigued her was, what kind of ghost could pose a threat to his relatives right under his watchful eye?

For a ghost to harm someone was not a simple matter; it involved a gradual process of staying near the victim over time, slowly placing a curse, which would only manifest actual harm once it reached the clinical diagnostic standards of the hospital. Otherwise, if every ghost could instantly kill or harm people, the hospital would have no outpatient services—everything would have to be turned into emergency rooms.

"Maybe I should look into it. Lu Jing, has the child been admitted to the ward?"

"Definitely, she would be placed in a special ward for sure. Fang Zhou is not just anyone; there’s no need for him to arrange it himself, Vice President Han will have already smoothed the way for him, arranging for her in a deeper-level space in the ward, and providing the best medical observation. They might not even make Fang Zhou pay with Spiritual Therapy Points."

"The child is not in much danger now." The deputy director of the emergency department, Ke Mingzhang, checked the child’s soul state again and said to Fang Zhou at his side, "Director Fang, um... your child is not in deep trouble. My assessment is that it’s just the meddling of an ordinary ghost; I didn’t find any signs of a curse in her soul structure. If there are no abnormalities after a few days of observation, she can be discharged."

Fang Zhou let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director Ke."

"Where, where, sigh, if the director didn’t have surgery to perform, he surely would have come to help, too. Director Fang, rest assured, there’s nothing wrong with your daughter."

"Is it really a ghost...?"

Fang Zhou couldn’t accept such a simple conclusion.

A ghost? What a joke!

He didn’t believe the people at the Haunted Estate had only this much ability!

...

Lin Sunzhu took the Cursed Flesh again.

Now, wrapped tightly in her blanket, she kept recalling the butler’s words and this creepily peculiar Haunted Estate.

Everything was abnormal...

Qin Lanting, where on earth had she gone?

It was at this moment that she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

She looked at the door warily, slowly approached, and then heard a voice coming from outside.

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin..."

That voice was terribly weak and fragile.

Qin Lanting?

She immediately went to open the door but found it locked!

"Qin Lanting, how are you?"

"Lin... Teacher..."

She was so weak that she could hardly speak clearly.

"I will soon... cease to... exist..."

"Qin Lanting, you..."

"Do not tell ’it’... the real geographical location of City W... no, don’t let ’it’ know, City W..."

"Lan Ting, listen to me," Lin Sunzhu said through the door, "What exactly happened to you? Is your father forcing you to do something? My mom once told me: Compliance is not true filial piety, so..."

However, no more sounds came from behind the door.

"Qin Lanting... Qin Lanting?"

Outside.

Xiaoju was staring intently at the front door from not far away.

This place was under round-the-clock surveillance.

And from beginning to end...

She saw nothing.

Meanwhile, Lin Sunzhu took out the severed finger, leaned in, and said, "Director Fang, Director Fang! Are you listening? Can you hear me? Director Fang?"

There was no response.

This made her heart sink to the bottom.

Don’t tell "it" the real geographical location of City W...

Who?

City W is considered a somewhat famous city in China. Even if one really doesn’t know it, just by opening a map app on a smartphone, the location of City W is clearly visible!

Who would still...

Not know the geographical location of City W?
