  Shen Gusi decided to give Lulu a call.

  He smiled at He Zhou, then walked to the other side of the living room. Shen Gusi had already memorized the nurse's phone number because he had called it several times.

  After two short beeps, the other end picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

  "Hello, I'm Lulu's father. Is Lulu sleeping now? I haven't contacted her for a long time. I want to have a video call with her. Could you please give the phone to Lulu?"

  There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.

  Shen Gusi thought that he didn't speak clearly enough, or the person on the other end didn't understand, so he said again: "Hello? Are you still there? I'm Lulu's father, Shen Gusi, you should have heard of my name, I want to call Lulu, if it's convenient now, please give the phone to Lulu, thank you."

  "Yes...Yes." The nurse spoke haltingly: "I'm afraid...it's not very convenient now. Lulu said she wanted to eat...she wanted to eat potato chips, so I'm buying things outside the supermarket. Yes, I'm buying things outside now."

  "Is that so?" Shen Gusi always felt something was wrong.

  Lulu is different from other children. Some children like to eat snacks, such as potato chips and biscuits, but Lulu is different. She hates crunchy things the most, and the only snack she likes is candy.

  "Then when you get back, would it be convenient for you to give me a call? I'm always free."

  "This... When I left, Lulu was still sleeping. I don't know if she will be awake when I get back."

  "Sleeping again?" Shen Gusi couldn't remember how many times he had heard this excuse. Lulu became more and more sleepy.

  "Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sleeping every time I call you? Have you checked with the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

  Shen Gusi had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted to get explained.

  The nurse interrupted as if in a hurry: "Mr. Shen, it's my turn to pay the bill soon. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll hang up first. Bye."

  Before Shen Gusi could even react, the call was hung up.

  Shen Gusi held the phone, still a little confused.

  Is he... scary?

  Why did it feel like this person hung up the phone and almost ran away? His request was not excessive. He just wanted to say a few words to Lulu, but why did it become so difficult?

  He didn't want to doubt, but he always felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

  Shen Gusi logged into WeChat, which he hadn't logged into for a long time, and saw message 99.

  Except for some messages sent from public news accounts, the rest were all sent by Xiao Qi.

  "Where are you?"

  "Did you leave? Did you go back with Xu Jiashen? Why didn't you tell me?"

  "Your phone is also unreachable, has something happened?"

  "Yesterday I wanted to go see Lulu, but was stopped by Xu Jiashen's men. He wouldn't let me go in to see her."

  "You said you'd leave, so just leave. There's no need to be so heartless. You can't even be friends with me."

  ...

  There were so many messages that Shen Gusi was dazzled. As he was flipping through the pages, he saw one that was sent two weeks ago.
