Go back? There's no going back.

After that, as if she remembered something, the nurse added, "Don't worry, the other patient who was sent here with you is no longer in danger and is now in another ward."

“…Is that so? Thank you.”

After hearing the nurse's answer, Su Wei was thoughtful.

So, it was indeed that fox...that fox fairy who saved me and sent me here?

"Yeah, very good... very good! All the physical data are still normal. There is indeed no problem."

At this time, the vice president who had already examined Su Wei's body was nodding continuously.

"This way, I can rest assured to inform your family members."

As if the stone in his heart had been completely put down, he stood up, raised his arm to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to Su Wei: "Please wait a moment, they will be here soon."

"Ah?"

Hearing the words suddenly coming out of the other party's mouth, Su Wei blinked in confusion.

Family...family?

What is this? Is this a new word popular in the royal city recently?

At this moment, Su Wei suddenly heard a burst of laughter in his ears.

He subconsciously looked at the nurse beside him and found that she was laughing at the vice president's back as he left in a hurry.

"Why are you laughing at him?"

His eyes became more and more confused, and Su Wei tugged at the latter's clothes.

"Hmm? Um... maybe because you think he's a bit unlucky?"

While turning around to re-adjust the equipment that was still running, the nurse responded:

"There have been more and more scammers at the main gate recently. When we first found you last night, we couldn't find your family's contact information. We thought you were a poor scammer, and the vice president was ready to throw you onto the grass outside."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei was silent for a moment.

Well, is this something that should be said directly to the patient?

This hospital seems to be quite unusual.

"Then why am I still here?"

After a moment of silence, Su Wei continued to ask questions.

"Hmm? Of course I finally contacted your family."

The nurse blinked and looked at Su Wei with a loving look: "After we contacted each other, your sister came over right away and arranged you to the highest standard ward in our hospital. Your family loves you very much."

"You don't know how funny it was when our vice president saw your sister, looking at her with arrogance and then respect..."

The mature nurse covered her mouth and laughed again, as if she had thought of something funny, but Su Wei became even more confused.

Already... contacted?

This "sister" should not refer to the mother who might chase her all the way.

But who is that?

Apart from my mother who didn’t recognize me the whole time last night, what other family members do I have?

How can you contact something that doesn't exist?

Could it be that the hospital here, like a certain lending institution I had heard of in my previous life, also has special talents?

Just then, a rapid sound of footsteps, like the sound of slender heels stepping on the floor, came from outside, from far away to near.

Wow——!

When the half-closed door of the ward was pushed open again and the tall figure came into view, the expression on Su Wei's face suddenly froze.

Chapter 22: No, go find her

Her waist-length golden hair was tied into a bun and fell in front of her chest. Her flawless face was still incredibly beautiful, but for some reason, her stunning face looked much paler than usual.

When Su Wei saw clearly who pushed the door open this time, his brain froze.

"…First, Princess?"

No…it’s not.

Damn it.

Damn it? ?

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the nurse beside him, his face full of confusion.

Feelings, when you said before that you had made contact, were you referring to this person?

As the first princess of the empire, she is usually busy with all kinds of things, and every minute of her time is more precious than a certain Karami's lifetime... But this hospital actually called her over directly... ?

How did you get in touch?

Moreover, even if they were able to get in touch, why would such a big shot come in person?

Su Wei suddenly felt unwell.

After his confused mind barely managed to sort out the current situation, he suddenly felt that it would have been better if the dean had thrown him out last night.

At least, this will cause less trouble to others.

The next second, Su Wei, with a dull expression, only felt a flash before his eyes, and the princess in casual clothes had quickly come to the bedside.

"Are you okay? Are you... okay?"

A familiar fragrance rushed to his nose, and he heard the princess's question in his ears. With his thoughts frozen, Su Wei silently bit the tip of his tongue hard.

"…No, it's okay. I feel fine."

After coming back to his senses, although he felt that the princess' tone sounded a little strange, under the other party's gaze, Su Wei still gritted his teeth and nodded.

At the same time, an indescribable strange feeling arose in his heart.

At this moment, when Su Wei saw the conscious princess for the first time after being dismissed, he felt that the beating frequency of his heart suddenly increased by more than twice.

He didn't know how to describe how he felt right now, but if he had to say it, it would probably be... nervous?

Su Wei was very surprised.

Although he had been nervous before when facing the princess, at least he had not been so nervous that his thinking had almost come to a standstill.

But now, just by looking directly into the other person's eyes, Su Wei felt a buzzing in his ears and his brain was a mess.

——Thank you for your hard work. From now on, we won’t have to meet again.

——You are not him after all.

At this moment, even the last words the other party said to him when he was fired the day before yesterday began to turn over in Su Wei's mind.

He suddenly realized... the face in front of him that he once admired so much seemed to have become unfamiliar and distant without him noticing.

"..."

On the other side, the emerald eyes swept silently over Su Wei, and the big man in front of him seemed to be confirming whether his response was true.

"It's okay."

After a moment, the princess nodded slightly.

After that, the entire ward fell into silence again.

"Since... since this patient is no longer in danger, we will leave first..."

"There is a call bell next to the bed. If you have any questions later, please feel free to call us."

As if they sensed something from the silence, the deputy dean and the nurse on the side looked at each other, bowed their heads to the first princess in front of them, and then quickly left the ward.

When the two walked out of the ward, Su Wei noticed another figure waiting outside the door out of the corner of his eye.

Then, his already ugly expression suddenly became even uglier.

Good...good guy.

It wasn't enough that I had caused trouble for an important figure like the princess, but I even caused the usually busy maid to make a wasted trip?

...Destroy it.

'Hmm? No, wait?'

At this moment, a sense of uneasiness surged in Su Wei's heart. He suddenly remembered something, came back to his senses, and looked at the princess in front of him again.

Speaking of which, the night before yesterday... he had just broken into the palace at night and provoked this adult.

Therefore, this time this Lord came here in person, most likely not because of the hospital's contact, but after learning of my whereabouts, he came here in person to deal with me, the sinner who offended the royal family...

Ah this.

Su Wei was embarrassed on the spot.

However, after thinking about this, he felt much better.

Whether it was his mother or the princess in front of him, they no longer needed him, and he didn't want to cause them any more trouble.

If the other party is simply in a bad mood and comes here to clean up the mess... then that's fine.

"Why, is there something on my face?"

At this moment, as if because Su Wei had been staring at her face, the princess in front of him blinked and looked at him with confusion.

"No... I just think that you are... uh, beautiful today."

The princess' gentle attitude made Su Wei, who was ready to poke, open his eyes slightly.

Huh?

Why do I feel like this... it doesn't seem like I'm going to hang this Karami on a tree?

Could it be that... this gentleman was too drunk at that time and actually didn't remember what happened?

"You are beautiful today? So you were uglier before?"

Listening to Su Wei's words, the first princess tilted her head.

"How is that possible! You are always one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen...!"

He shuddered all over. Although he felt a little strange about the princess' attitude at this time, Su Wei quickly shook his head to deny it.

"One of them...?"

Mumbling a few vague characters, Celsia was silent for a moment.

Then, she sighed softly and began to ask Su Wei: "What happened to your injury? Where did you get hurt?"

"…was injured in the Roseau Mountains."

When asked, Su Wei answered honestly without hesitation.

Even though they had been together for eight years, Su Wei couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, but he could feel that the mood of the princess in front of him... suddenly became a little worse.

"Rosso Mountain… vein? What are you doing there?"

Hearing the completely unexpected answer, the First Princess frowned and stared at Su Wei.

"I'm going there..."

Su Wei opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to tell everyone that he went to the mountains to look for his adoptive mother last night.

But the next second, he suddenly realized something, immediately shut his mouth and calmed down again.

My mother is a witch who brings disaster to the country and the most wanted criminal in the entire continent. Now she is recuperating in that mountain range... Su Wei has no control over whether the bodyguard who traveled with him last night will tell others about this, but he himself will not tell anyone.

No matter who asks, no.

But now, the one who questioned him was the princess.

Su Wei doesn't care about other people, but no matter whether it is his mother or the princess in front of him, these two people he respects the most, he will not betray them, let alone lie to them.

“…Is it something you can’t tell me?”

After waiting quietly for a while and taking in Su Wei's contradictory reactions, the First Princess asked calmly, "Are there other important people involved?"

"..."
