Jamie was temporarily out of danger after a day and a night of rescue efforts.
But she had become a vegetable.
After three days, Jamie was transferred to a regular ward. She lay in bed with her eyes closed, both legs and hands in casts, and tubes inserted all over her body.
Jamie's parents finally broke from their work and stayed by Jamie's side. They did not notice a boy sitting outside the ward playing with his phone for the past few days.
Josh held a large bouquet and a fruit basket and knocked on the door, saying, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie, | am Josh. | am here on behalf of our classmates to visit Jamie.” Jamie's mother, looking weary, said, “Ah, thank you all.” Josh said something to comfort them, starting with Jamie being a model student in school, liked by teachers and classmates, and then talking about her cheerful and helpful personality. He mentioned the unfairness of the accident and rambled on and on, finally steering the conversation back on track.
“Hey, Uncle and Auntie, why is Jamie still wearing a ring?” Josh said, pointing at Jamie's right hand.
It was a ring made of chicken blood vine.

Jamie's mother said with tears in her eyes, “She asked for this ring on her birthday, saying it would bring her good luck. We took it off during the surgery. | just put it back on her.” She hoped that this ring, which was supposed to bring good luck to her daughter, would help her wake up soon.
Josh discreetly glanced at the ring and then at the evil spirit lying on Jamie.
At this moment, the evil spirit seemed agitated for some reason. When he saw Josh, he raised his crimson eyes and stared at him fiercely.
Josh averted his gaze and said, “Uncle and Auntie, I'll return now. | hope Jamie will recover soon!” The couple saw Josh go.
Sitting outside the corridor, Zachary stood up and left in another direction.
Jamie's mother glanced subconsciously at the corridor and thought Zachary was also a patient's family member.
Too many family members sat in the corridor every day, many of whom looked familiar.
The two men met downstairs.
Josh said, “The ring should be the key token, but it’s not easy to get it now.” Zachary said, “You can steal it.” Josh was speechless.
Did he have humanity? He was speechless and muttered, “I'll tell my sister when she returns.” But it seemed that stealing was the only way. However, if Jamie was in the ward, one of her parents would always be by her side.
Zachary said, “When she goes for her routine check-up.” At that time, many people were waiting in line to do the check-up.
There would always be an opportunity to steal when they went out to register and queue for the list.
Josh nodded. “What should we do now?” Zachary checked the time and said, “They won't do the check-up today, but they will tomorrow at 8 a.m. Let's go and see Tia first.” He had not been idle during the few days outside the ward.
He often heard the evil spirit shouting at Jamie, “Wake up quickly! If you don’t wake up, no one will take care of Tia. She will starve to death! If Alban comes back and finds out you're lying here and not caring for his sister, he will be disappointed!” This evil spirit was indeed related to Alban.
At this moment, Tia was cooking instant noodles at home, feeling very aggrieved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe girl who liked her brother, Jamie, was hit by a car, and now there was no one to cook for her.
She had been eating instant noodles and steamed buns for several days. She did not like eating out because she always got asked when she ate alone. “Are you alone? Where are your family members?” Unless she was hungry, Tia would only go to nearby restaurants.
“Why hasn't she been discharged yet?” Tia was worried about Jamie a few days ago.
Tia felt anxious and kept wondering if she had caused this.
But after a few days, Tia gradually felt it had nothing to do with her.
It was because Jamie liked her brother that she treated her so well, and she saved her for her own sake.
Therefore, after eating instant noodles for a few days, she complained, “Why hasn’t Jamie been discharged yet and come over to cook for me?” At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Tia thought it was Jamie. Has she been discharged so quickly? But those people said someone was seriously injured and could not wake up.
Could it be her brother? Tia’s eyes lit up, and she immediately opened the doorbell video. Her brother said, “I always check the doorbell video before opening the door to see who is outside!” As a result, she saw a tall figure, obviously a young boy. Tia felt joyful for only a few seconds.
She saw clearly that the young boy outside the door was not her brother, and he looked somewhat familiar, but she could not remember who he was.
“Who is it?” Tia asked through the doorbell.
Zachary looked indifferent and casually said, “Open the door. I'm from the property management to check the water meter.”
