Chapter 306: Burns

Mu Chen sat by Song Ning’s bed and rested his head near Song Ning’s hand. He patted her gently like how she did when she consoled him.

Song Ning finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep; she was exhausted. Her happy life was just about to begin.

…

When Song Ning woke up, she felt pain all over her body. She knew something was amiss. She had already given birth, how could it still be so painful? Moreover, this was not the pain of giving birth; it was a sharp and searing pain all over her skin and flesh.

Song Ning opened her eyes and saw four white walls. She was still in the hospital, but this was not her ward. Her ward was a VIP ward, which was the best in the hospital. It was exclusively reserved for the Mu family. Jiang Jin and her had stayed there a few times so the ward was very familiar to her. On the other hand, she was completely unfamiliar with the ward she was in now. Even the most ordinary ward in the hospital was not as crude as the one she was in now.

Song Ning moved gingerly. The piercing pain intensified, and she could not help but moan in pain. However, this pain helped her to clear her mind. She was shocked and confused to find that she had been burned. Her burns were most concentrated on her limbs and face.

‘How’s this possible? What happened?’

She was stunned. She had just given birth to a son, and Mu Chen was just by her bedside, promising to love her forever and to give her a lifetime of happiness. Where was Mu Chen? Where was her son?

Song Ning tried to move her head but discovered that she could not move it. She could only move her eyes, and all she saw was the white walls and ceiling of the ward.

‘When did I suffer burns? Why am I here? Where’s Jiahui and Grandma?’ Song Ning felt unprecedented panic.

Finally, she cried, “Is anyone there?”

The moment she heard her voice, she was shocked again. It was rough and hoarse. Her heart sank immediately as various thoughts flashed in her mind.

‘What happened? Where am I? Don’t tell me I’ve transmigrated?’

She tried her best to call out, “Is anyone there?”

Her voice sounded a little better than earlier. It was so rough earlier likely because she had not spoken in a long time. Another possibility was that she had inhaled too much smoke.

Song Ning tried her best to calm down and suppress the panic rising in her heart. Based on the pain she felt, she determined she had suffered severe burns on her body.

‘Where’s Mu Chen, Grandma, and Sister Yu? Where are they? Are they okay? What happened?’

Song Ning mustered up her energy and called out as loud as she could, “Is anyone there?”

Perhaps, she strained herself, she began to cough violently. The movement when she coughed sent a jolt of excruciating pain throughout her body immediately causing her to cry out in pain as tears gathered in her eyes.

At this time, the door suddenly slammed open.

“She’s awake, she’s awake!

A young round-faced nurse rushed in like a gust of wind. “Patient on bed 15 is awake.”

After saying that, the young nurse ran out without saying anything else.

Song Ning could not help but close her eyes, trying to endure the pain.

Five minutes later, the young nurse returned with a doctor in tow.

It was a female doctor who looked to be in her forties. She looked at Song Ning coldly before glancing at Song Ning’s injuries. Then, she said to the nurse, “Inform her family members. Let them transfer her to another hospital. She’s passed the critical period.”

“Alright.” The young nurse left in a hurry.

As the doctor was about to leave as well, Song Ning called out, “Doctor!”

The female doctor turned around and looked at Song Ning impatiently.

Song Ning decided to pick a safe question to ask. “Where am I?”

“N County’s Third Hospital,” the female doctor said.

Song Ning’s mind buzzed. N County was a rural county 300 kilometers away from M City. Why was she here?
