Chapter 48 - 48 Critical

48 Critical

“The doctor said you need to take in more vitamins, so I peeled an apple for you.”

When she passed by a ward, a woman’s voice came from inside. Le Wan turned her head and saw a middle-aged man sitting by the bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife.

Suddenly, something flashed in Le Wan’s mind. That’s right, it was a knife! The thing that was wrapped around the middle-aged man’s chest was clearly in the shape of a knife!

Did he encounter a medical dispute? She was shocked, but she quickly comforted herself. It was not strange to see a knife in the hospital, just like this middle-aged man. What if they brought it to peel fruits?

That was what Le Wan told herself, but the image of the middle-aged man’s gloomy expression still appeared in her mind, and she couldn’t help but panic. She walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. Seeing that the elevator was about to go down, she gritted her teeth and pressed the button for the sixth floor.

The elevator door opened with a ‘ding’. Le Wan quickly stepped out and took out a taser the size of a palm from her bag, holding it in her hand just in case.

The entire inpatient building was a square-shaped space. When Le Wan came out of the elevator, she looked at each ward one after the other, but she couldn’t find the middle-aged man after walking around.

“Could he have left?”

Just as Le Wan heaved a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw the person she had been looking for walking out of the public bathroom at the end of the corridor.

The man walked past her as if he didn’t see her and went straight to the doctor’s on-call room.

Le Wan looked up and saw four or five young doctors working in the on-call room. The man had his back to her, and as she expected, he pulled out a palm-sized knife from his chest.

Other than the two of them, there was also an old lady who was holding the railing and a nurse who was tidying up the nurse’s car. Neither of them had noticed the man’s terrifying behavior.

Le Wan clenched the taser in her hand and approached the man without hesitation. The closer she got to the man, the faster her steps became.

She only had one chance, she must not miss it!

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, startling the middle-aged man. He was about to turn around to look.

Le Wan’s eyes narrowed.

She pressed the taser in her hand tightly and hit the man’s right hand, which was holding the knife. With a sizzling sound, the man screamed and the sharp knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Le Wan quickly bent down and picked up the knife, then quickly ran away from the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s scream shocked everyone nearby. The nurses and the patient’s family all looked out to see what was going on. They saw the middle-aged man leaning against the wall with his hand covering his arm. He was staring at a young girl with a knife in her hand.

It looked like the girl had stabbed a middle-aged man with a knife. Some of the more timid ones screamed, “Murder!”

As soon as this voice came out, the entire floor was like boiling water.

“All of you, back off!”

Seeing that the middle-aged man was taking something out of his pocket again, Le Wan was afraid that there were other tools hidden in his pocket, so she quickly shouted, trying to get the people who surrounded him to back off.

With trembling hands, the man took out an old phone from his clothes and answered the call. After a few sentences, he knelt on the ground and started crying.

This sudden change stunned everyone.

At this time, the hospital’s security guards finally arrived in a hurry. Le Wan quickly threw away the sharp knife in her hand.

The two of them were invited into the security room. Because someone had called the police, the police had also rushed over. The person who came was an old police officer. When he heard from Le Wan that the person who wanted to cause a medical dispute was a middle-aged man, he immediately retrieved the surveillance camera footage of the hospital corridor.

Looking at the scene of the little girl bravely snatching the knife from the surveillance camera, the old policeman glared at Le Wan.

“You’re too bold, girl. You knew he had a knife, but you still dared to bump into him! Didn’t your teacher teach you that the first thing you should do when you’re in danger is to call the police?”

Le Wan knew that she had been too impulsive just now. She scratched her nose in embarrassment.

“It was too urgent at that time, so I didn’t think too much about it.”

The old policeman said,

“There’s still the hospital security. Didn’t you think of calling them? What if your taser failed to subdue him and he stabbed you instead? Would you be able to take it? This is simply nonsense!”
