Hospital 444
Chapter 429 - 9 We Have Reached the End

Chapter 429: Chapter 9 We Have Reached the End

Dai Lin’s phone had already received countless calls.

All the calls were from people at the hospital, and naturally, their purpose was the same: to find out why he had taken the patient’s body out of the hospital!

The first to call was Song Min, as Dai Lin was currently on rotation in the Resentful Spirit Department during his training period, and she was the first person responsible for this matter.

"Dai Lin, bring the patient’s body back immediately! He was a patient being treated by the Demons Department; why did you take his body out! Do you know that Chen Jun just came to my office? Don’t you understand the conflict between our Resentful Spirit Department and the Demons Department?"

Dai Lin couldn’t help but feel a massive headache.

How could he explain? There was no explanation.

All he could say was, "I’m sorry, Director Song, but I couldn’t help it. The patient’s family had the Ghoul Buddha from Xuelian Temple!"

"Are you joking with me? Do you know what the Ghoul Buddha from Xuelian Temple is?"

Of the most terrifying four Ghoul Buddhas statues in Xuelian Temple, Song Min herself would avoid confronting them at all costs. Such items, not even available for purchase at the Spiritual Therapy Points by patients, are generally only used by doctors during emergency calls and surgeries of grade A and above.

Listening to Dai Lin’s words, Song Min felt as though he was telling a fantastical tale. However, based on her understanding of Dai Lin, he had no reason to lie like this.

"Where are you now? Hurry up and bring the patient’s body back to the hospital!"

"I’m currently in K city... "

"K... you’re in K..." Song Min immediately understood, "You’re not trying to tell me that you’re on Heitu River Road, are you?"

Dai Lin gave a bitter smile.

"Yes. That’s right."

"What exactly is happening? Can you get the patient’s body back?"

"The patient’s family member is carrying the Ghoul Buddha from Xuelian Temple, so... so... I couldn’t... let the patient’s family escape with the patient’s body."

Song Min, listening to Dai Lin’s tone, faintly realized that he might be telling the truth!

"She’s running away with a corpse, how far can she get? Go after her quickly! You must retrieve the body! Within 24 hours, the body must be put in the mortuary; otherwise, big trouble will ensue!"

Song Min’s tone also made Dai Lin clearly recognize how serious the current situation was.

"I know, I’m also currently searching..."

Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye was searching everywhere, anyway, as long as there was a direction the Devil’s Eye could not see through, he pursued that direction.

However, faced with the Ghoul Buddha, Dai Lin was completely at a loss, and so was Mel.

In reality, Liu Ying, carrying Lin Qian’s body, couldn’t go far either. She could only carry her son’s corpse and try to avoid the crowd. Moreover, she could not stay away with her son’s body for long.

In fact, most of the patient’s family members, in the end, can accept the hospital taking care of their deceased. After all, if they took the patient’s body back to the funeral home, how would they explain the cause of death? A death certificate from Hospital 444 is useless in the real world.

Carrying her son’s body, Liu Ying also found it impossible to return to her hometown, and it was difficult to arrange her son’s funeral. In the end, she had to face reality and return the body to the hospital.

However, Dai Lin did not dare to be too hopeful. To what extent the doctors from the Demons Department had intervened in this matter was also unclear to him. Although the body was not in danger for the time being within 24 hours, whether the doctors from the Demons Department would interfere was unknown to anyone.

...

"By the way, congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Miss Yalu Jia."

Walking in front, Yalu Jia heard these words and turned her head in slight surprise, looking at Mei Ge.

"Are you serious when you say the words ’congratulations’?"

"If you feel offended, then I take back my words just now."

"Never mind... suit yourself." Yalu Jia thought of Mei Ge’s experiences and said, "Speaking of which, George was actually very resistant to breaking off the engagement. If it weren’t for the curse, he surely would have come to find you."

"So what? Can he defy his father Klein? Can he defy the deputy director?"

Yaluja had to admit that Mei Ge was right.

"Yes, it’s the same for me. They dictate who we should be with and who we shouldn’t," she said, "It’s all their will; we don’t get a choice."

With that, Yaluja found she had some common ground with Mei Ge.

Soon, they arrived at the doctors’ lounge area.

Yaluja took out a key, unlocked the door, and walked in.

"Mel, are you waiting outside, or coming in?"

"I’m fine either way, doesn’t matter to me."

"Forget it, come in. Having you wait out here is always a bit improper."

Yaluja pulled Mei Ge into the room.

After she had pulled her into the room, Yaluja closed the door.

Then, Mei Ge was shocked to find another person standing inside the lounge.

It was George!

"Impossible..." Mei Ge immediately turned to Yaluja: "Could it be...?"

"Thank you, little aunt," George said to Yaluja, gratefully, "Could you give us a moment alone?"

Yaluja patted Mei Ge’s shoulder and said, "You’re going to the morgue tonight, so have a good talk with George. The time I can lift the curse of distance between George and you is limited, so make the most of it. Once time’s up, you two still have to maintain a distance of three hundred meters."

"Did you know I would come to find you?"

"Whether you came to find me or not doesn’t matter to me," Yaluja said, glancing at George. "George begged me, and that’s why I helped him."

Then, Yaluja walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

George quickly stepped towards Mei Ge, attempting to embrace her, but she kept backing away.

"After all that has happened, what are you doing here now?"

"Mel, calling off the engagement was the wish of my father and mother, but definitely not mine. I’ve repeatedly made my stance clear to my father... I want to marry you..."

Mei Ge took another step back.

"So what are you trying to say?"

"I know that your uncle’s rebellion has nothing to do with you. As long as you’re willing to publicly..."

"Publicly declare that I have nothing to do with my uncle’s rebellion, criticize his treasonous acts, and then implant the cursed object from his body... Then, our marriage might be able to continue, right?"

"It’s the only way. You must know, my mother has always been dissatisfied with you, and she sees this annulment as the perfect opportunity! As for my father, what matters to him is the loss that your uncle has brought to the family, so no matter what... this is the only way. And this way, you wouldn’t have to be in the mortuary, which is too dangerous!"

Mei Ge raised her hand.

"So I’m supposed to implant my uncle’s body into myself, is that what you’re saying?"

"It’s the only option we have, and I think your uncle’s spirit would understand. Otherwise, our engagement will definitely be terminated, and you won’t be able to survive in this hospital! Haven’t you realized that yet?"

"I don’t understand. All I know is that my uncle raised me. Even if he didn’t just follow the Dalen Family in rebellion, even if he actually went out to kill and commit arson, taking innocent lives, I wouldn’t be the person standing behind him, stabbing him in the back! You still don’t understand me well enough, George. Do you think I’m the kind of person who could do anything for my own life, or for our engagement? George Faust, I really like you, but if being with you comes with such a high price, then I’d rather not, thank you!"

"Why do you have to be so stubborn, Mel!"

"Actually, I don’t like the name Mel that much. My Chinese name is Mo Meige," Mei Ge said coldly, "Remember this name well. I’m not a good person; I don’t care about the life and feelings of others, nor do I care about sacrificing others to keep myself alive. But that does not include my uncle!"

As she spoke, it was as if something occurred to her, and she continued, "Come to think of it, my personality is quite similar to Damon Dailun’s. No wonder your father said that Damon Dailun is my real ’boss.’ George, let’s end our engagement here!"
