Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 924: Undergoing Surgery in Secret from Everyone
"Just a mild cold, I’ve taken medicine already. Don’t worry about me, focus on your business trip."
Finally, the text from the drunkard came, but it was so brief.
After barely exchanging a few words, the conversation was ending again.
The drunkard’s abnormal behavior over the past few days left Qing Yi feeling both frantic and exhausted.
"What’s going on with you recently? Is something wrong? Why do you seem a bit off?" Qing Yi edited the message but hesitated to send it.
The drunkard was avoiding him, clearly not wanting to talk. Should he even ask?
Qing Yi feared that even if he asked, the drunkard still wouldn’t tell him the truth, a feeling of disappointment he didn’t want to experience.
He also feared that his probing would upset the drunkard.
At this moment, the boarding announcement was already being broadcast, and Qing Yi suddenly became anxious.
In the end, he deleted the message and edited a new one.
"I’ve noticed you look unwell lately. When I return from the business trip, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up, just like we agreed last time."
Last time, when the drunkard suddenly had a stomach issue, he mentioned taking him for a check-up, but the drunkard was unwilling.
Even after Qing Yi boarded the plane and the flight attendant announced to turn off phones, he still hadn’t received a reply from the drunkard.
Qing Yi’s unease and anxiety grew stronger.
He looked at Jun Moyan, who was beside him reading a document, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Anything you want to say?" Jun Moyan asked without lifting his head.
"...No." Qing Yi shook his head slightly.
Jun Moyan’s eyes left the document and looked up at him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
After staring at Qing Yi’s less than perfect complexion for a while, the concern in his eyes made Jun Moyan somewhat puzzled.
Not really knowing why, Jun Moyan suddenly asked, "Did something happen with the drunkard?"
After asking, even Jun Moyan found it strange that he would ask such a question.
The company’s issues were unlikely, Qing Yi had never mentioned anything about his family, and it was unlikely something with Hong Yi or Bai Yi; it must be the drunkard then.
With that process of elimination, Jun Moyan felt his question wasn’t out of place.
"No."
"..." Seeing that Qing Yi was unwilling to talk, Jun Moyan didn’t press further and continued looking at his document.
"If you have difficulties, just say it." he said while glancing at the document.
"Mm." Qing Yi replied absently.
——
The nurse came in with two bottles of medicine and immediately heard something fall as she entered the room.
Startled, she looked up.
She hurried forward, placed the two bottles of medicine aside, and crouched down to assist the patient attempting to get out of bed but clumsily falling to the ground.
"You just finished surgery. The anesthesia hasn’t completely worn off. Why did you get out of bed? And why did you pull out the IV?"
"...Charger, do you have a charger?" The drunkard, hand full of needle marks and swelling, clutched his phone tightly, emotionally agitated.
Due to his inability to gauge force properly, the hand from which the IV was just removed was already bleeding, staining both his hand and his phone.
The anesthesia hadn’t fully worn off, leaving his body out of control of his mind. He wanted to stand but couldn’t, he couldn’t even hold his phone steadily.
No one knew how difficult it was for him to type a response to Qing Yi, pressing each character slowly and arduously.
Each typo brought a frantic, helpless anxiety that nearly brought him to tears.
He didn’t dare answer Qing Yi’s calls, not just because of the recent surgery and fear of Qing Yi discovering something was wrong, but because there was already an issue with his ear...
