"Indeed, you used to be inseparable from your two phones before, didn't you?" He Yi looked at the bewildered expression on the woman's face and asked curiously, "That's right, how co I haven't seen you with your other phone lately?"
Ji Nian paused briefly, then laughed it off and pretended to lant, "The other phone... I think it went missing when we were moving house..."
"What?" He Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Your phone is a valuable item, and you lost it?"
"Well, you know how I recently had a near-death experience. When I ca back, my mind was a bit hazy," Ji Nian made one excuse after another.
He Yi suddenly recalled the woman's foolish act not long ago. Seeing her cheerful deanor now, it was hard to believe she was soone who would attempt suicide over love.
"As for the other phone, it might still be in the villa you rented before, but after so long, it's probably impossible to find it now," He Yi said regretfully.
"Should we contact the landlord and ask?" Ji Nian tentatively suggested.
"Forget it. The landlord won't have ti for that, and it's been so long that agents, cleaning ladies, and property managent have all been in and out of the villa."
He Yi pondered for a mont and felt the chances of retrieving it were slim. "When my phone is fixed, I'll help you call and ask."
"Alright," Ji Nian felt uneasy. Did the original owner have another phone? Could there be so secret?
"By the way, is there anything on your phone?" He Yi asked.
Ji Nian felt awkward and shook her head. "Probably... nothing, I guess..."
He Yi nodded in agreent. "You didn't have any work or a social life before, so there probably won't be any scandals."
"Heh heh," Ji Nian felt puzzled. If the original owner had two phones, did she have so secret?
Due to a cracked phone screen, He Yi had to leave in a hurry to get it fixed.
Ji Nian looked around the luxurious house, which should have put her in a good mood, but she couldn't stop thinking about the original owner's affairs.
It was strange that in all this ti, none of the original owner's family mbers had contacted her. Why?
Pondering this, she imdiately took out her ID card and examined the information carefully. The address listed was a street in a small county.
Before she could process this, an overwhelming wave of pain caused Ji Nian to collapse. She clutched her chest as the original owner's consciousness beca more intense, and the despair from the depths of her heart consud her entire mind.
Ji Nian struggled to stand, leaning against the wall. This reaction felt different, the first ti she had ever felt like she couldn't endure it. Her entire body felt like it was being torn apart.
Ji Nian pounded her chest, her strong survival instinct prompting her to go to the hospital. She stumbled into the elevator and leaned against the wall, her mind buzzing incessantly.
She vaguely heard the elevator "ding" before everything went black. Ji Nian felt like she had crashed into soone and lost consciousness.
At the hospital—
Pei Yuchen, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, sat expressionless at the bedside, gazing at the pale woman lost in thought.
Suddenly recalling what the doctor had said earlier, he stared at the woman's wrist, the grueso scar causing him to frown.
Ji Nian gradually regained consciousness, feeling an unusual heaviness in her body. She opened her eyes groggily and looked around in a daze until her gaze fell upon a certain person, imdiately sobering her!
"Dr. Pei?" Ji Nian asked hoarsely, shocked. What happened? Why was the antagonist here?
Pei Yuchen smiled politely. "I didn't expect to see you again in such a way."
Ji Nian rembered passing out in the elevator, so waking up in the hospital made sense. But...
"Are you the doctor in charge of treating , Dr. Pei?" Ji Nian asked, bewildered.
Pei Yuchen nodded in affirmation. "That's a reasonable explanation, but... I'm not a doctor anymore."
"Ah?" Ji Nian was even more puzzled.
"Two hours ago, I was waiting for the elevator. When the doors opened, a woman suddenly crashed into and passed out," Pei Yuchen said calmly. "I thought soone was trying to scam ."
"Heh heh," Ji Nian felt awkward. She struggled to sit up but felt powerless.
Pei Yuchen noticed and slowly stood, gently helping her up and arranging pillows behind her back to make her more comfortable.
Ji Nian stared at the antagonist's actions, almost fooled by his gentle side if she hadn't read the original novel.
"I don't have Miss Shen's number," Pei Yuchen poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her with a smile. "I called Zhan, but he didn't answer, so I could only wait here for you to wake up."
"Thank you," Ji Nian took the water, realizing she was extrely thirsty, and drank half the glass before speaking. "I won't forget Dr. Pei's lifesaving grace."
Pei Yuchen laughed. "How will you repay ?"
Ji Nian paused, confused. Repay? She was just being polite...
She looked perplexed. "It seems Dr. Pei lacks for nothing..."
Pei Yuchen pondered and agreed with a smile. "Then let this favor remain an outstanding debt for now."
Ji Nian blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently. "Okay."
"The doctor said your fainting was a symptom of excessive blood loss, leading to insufficient blood supply in your body," Pei Yuchen t her gaze as he spoke.
If only it were that simple. She fainted because the original owner's consciousness had impacted her.
Ji Nian sighed lightly, unsure what the original owner was still obsessing over. She was already dead, yet she still tornted the one left to clean up the ss.
"Why did you attempt suicide?" Pei Yuchen asked with a hint of icy coldness in his smile, clearly displeased.
Ji Nian froze and looked at him awkwardly. "Heh heh, I was probably just... young and foolish..."
"I didn't take Miss Ji for that kind of person," Pei Yuchen smiled.
Of course she wasn't that kind of person! Ji Nian thought. There were thousands of good n out there. Even if heartbroken, one shouldn't harm oneself.
Moreover, how painful must it have been? Recalling the bathtub full of blood when she first transmigrated and the grueso wound, she wouldn't have been able to do it herself. The original owner must have been determined to die to go that far.
