Shen Xian was startled when the caller ID popped up on her phone, and she instinctively glanced at Zhou Mu on the hospital bed.
Thankfully, she had set her phone to silent mode earlier, otherwise a late-night call ringing out would have disturbed the patient.
Why isn't Gu Chen sleeping in the middle of the night!
She quickly got up and tiptoed to the restroom before answering the call.
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Her voice was kept very low, and even so, the weariness in her voice could still be discerned.
The tone of Gu Chen on the other end of the line, which was about to burst out with questions, suddenly softened upon hearing her voice.
"Are you still at the hospital?"
"Mhm."
Shen Xian opened the faucet a crack and used her other hand, wet with cold water, to cool her forehead.
"Haven't slept all night?"
Gu Chen's voice carried a drowsy haze, and it wasn't clear whether he had just woken up or was about to sleep.
