After a few days in such a muddle, Nina doesn't even pay so much attention to apply for a job. She submits several curriculum vitaes and takes part in the interviews of several companies, but she is not very satisfied.
Fortunately, when she left J&Y Group, she got a large bonus, which is enough to cover her expenses for some time.
Nina thinks it's ironic. If it wasn't for Lucien, would J&Y Group still give her so much severance pay?
She doesn't want to have a relationship with Lucien, and she doesn't want to be attached to him, but she has always been influenced by him.
Now, the influence is really weak. But, she is not used to it...
Curling up in the sofa and watching TV until midnight, Nina doesn't even know it is dark. Nina is barefoot and about to turn on the light when she suddenly hears the sound of rustling outside the door.
Nina is curious and nervous.
Is it that... he comes to see her?
Her body is stiff at the door. She doesn't know if she should rush happily to open the door or ignore it, turn around and go back to sleep.
In a moment of hesitation, a thin and long silver needle is put under the crack of the door. The needle is very long and almost pokes the toe of Nina.
Discerning the needle by the light of the TV, Nina is so shocked that she can hardly breathe.
Not Lucien! The man outside is not Lucien!
What does this silver needle mean? Who's out there? What do they want to do? Nina feels overwhelmingly bloodcurdling and scared, and she instinctively wants to rush back to get the mobile phone to call the police.
Nina is about to turn around when a thin and fragrant white fog comes out of the needle and rises in the air.
Nina desperately presses down her shrill scream, takes a step back, tightly covers her mouth and nose and stares at the rising white fog.
Her eyes begins to get astringent and her throat begins to swell. Until this point, Nina suddenly realizes that this is the legendary overpowering drug!
These people must want to bewilder her first, and then burgle or rape her...
Escape! Escape quickly! Nina covers her mouth and nose, desperately keeps awake, runs to the bedroom, slams the door, locks the door tightly and opens the window to the maximum to let the night wind in.
With a trembling hand, Nina picks up the mobile phone on the head of the bed. She wants to call the police, but her fingers make a ghostly call to Lucien.
"Hello?" At the other end of the phone, his voice is deep and ambiguous, with a little hoarse of hangover.
Nina only has time to say "Come to my house...", then her hands tremble severely so that she can not hold the phone any longer. Her cell phone rolls down on the bed. She can hear the gloomy voice of Lucien, "Isn't our relationship over? Nina, can't you bear the loneliness at last?..."
At the last moment before the coma, Nina has a ironically forced smile on her face.
She is so stupid that she thinks Lucien will come to save her...
Thanks for his heartlessness and humiliation. That's good. She can finally let go of the knot in her mind.
When Nina wakes up, she finds herself in a hospital bed.
With light blue ceiling, white curtains, clean room and expensive medical equipment by the bed, this is the top VIP intensive care unit in Cagliari.
Why is she here? Nina touches her limbs instinctively. Fortunately, they are all in good condition. She can move her hands and feet. Except for the severe headache, she has no other discomforts.
Moreover, there seems to be no signs of sexual abuse.
Nina feels relieved. Just about to ring for someone to inquire who sent her to the hospital, a young nurse in pink uniform comes in and takes a thermometer to take her temperature.
"Nurse, excuse me, who brought me in? I was in a coma yesterday. I can't remember anything."
It must be Sunny. Maybe Sunny had a telepathic connection with her, and then rushed to her house and saved her.
The nurse shakes her head, "I don't know. I was not on duty last night. Let me ask someone for you."
After a while, the nurse comes in with a smile, "Miss Morrison, it was a gentleman who sent you here yesterday. But we don't know his name."
A gentleman? Nina's heart seems to be hit by a boulder, and she immediately asks, "What kind of gentleman is he?"
The young nurse's eyes are full of obsession, "I didn't see him either. But I hears that he is absolutely handsome. He looks like a combination of two superstars. Oh, no, he is more handsome than the combination of them! By the way, my colleagues took his pictures secretly. I'll get the pictures and show them to you!"
The young nurse goes to get the photos excitedly. Nina is still confused. Arguably, this man should not be Lucien. After all, what he said yesterday was so unfeeling.
However, if it is not Lucien, there will be no other handsome men around her.
The nurse comes in with a mobile phone and turns the photos over to her excitedly, "Well, it's this gentleman. He's so handsome!"
In these photos, Lucien is wearing his nightwear. His hair is messy. He looks worried and anxious. And his mouth curls a sharp arc, which is his expression when he is nervous.
He... is nervous about her?
Looking at his disordered hair like a chicken's nest, and the pajamas that doesn't look like normal clothes to wear at home, Nina wants to laugh, but her tears suddenly come down.
The young nurse doesn't find out her exception, but still appreciates the handsome man in the photo, "Ah! A beautiful man is a beautiful man! Even if he wears a pajama and pulls a pair of slippers, he is still so handsome!"
Nina has noticed that Lucien was still wearing slippers.
Obviously, he hurried out of the house and didn't even change his clothes...
Lucien always likes to dress himself up. He has to take care of his hair when he goes out to eat at night. Now, he came to the hospital in his pajamas and slippers, being surrounded and taken photos by others in surprised eyes...
Her tears well up again.
The nurse finally notices that Nina is crying. She stupefies for a moment, and then smiles understandably, "Very moved? Your boyfriend is so nervous about you!"
Nina bites her lips and shakes her head gently, "No. He's not my boyfriend."
"Not your boyfriend?" The nurse is a little surprised. After thinking about it, she understands, "No wonder he left as soon as he heard that you were nothing serious. If he is your boyfriend, he should look after you in the hospital. And he should comfort you here when you wake up!"
Because of the words of the young nurse, her original warm heart becomes depressed again.
Does she flatter herself again? He saved her only because of humanitarianism. He realized that something was wrong with her and was in the instinct of human nature to save her. It has nothing to do with the relationship with her...
Otherwise, why did he leave in a hurry? He didn't want to wait for her to wake up because he didn't want to look at her once more.
