In the hospital tea room, Lu Qi turned his phone several times until the hot coffee turned cold and astringent.

The young nurse poked Dr. Pera's arm and said, "What are you doing, Dr. Fatima? Taking pictures."

Pella glanced at him dimly and replied casually, "Looking for a signal. I'm afraid my phone has no signal, so there are no messages or calls."

"Whose call are you waiting for?" the young nurse asked, seemingly confused.

Pella pursed her lips: "Who else can I wait for? I haven't seen you for two months, no messages or calls for a week, I can't get in touch..."

Pera paused and threw a date at Lu Qi. "Hey, that lady who was looking for the signal, Fatima! He didn't dump you, did he?"

Lu Qi put his phone away, slowly picked up the dates, and looked at Pera innocently.

To be honest, she had also thought about Pera's question in the past two days.

But she still refused to give up: "Why did he dump me? He didn't even say he wanted to break up with me."

Pera shrugged. She had never been in love before, but she was very calm when it came to analyzing love.

"Why? I'm tired of it. There are always young women around second-generation rich men, so there's always something new. You still expect him to say break up? When people like him stop paying attention to you, it means you're done."

After hearing what Pera said, Lu Qi felt a chill in his heart. He put down the dates and held the cold coffee without any appetite.

Seeing her so depressed, it's really pitiful.

Pyra couldn't help but ask again: "By the way, have you ever slept together?"

Lu Qi's face suddenly turned red and he shook his head desperately. He was obviously a mature doctor, but when it came to feelings, he was as immature as a student.

"No... No, we didn't even hold hands."

When Perla heard this, she laughed: "That's not right. After chasing him for so long, he didn't even eat a bite and he's just giving it up? At least he should have gotten it before throwing it away. Did he tell you where he went?"

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "He mentioned returning to China before. He's from Country A. But I don't think that's the case. One day when I was talking to him on the phone, I thought I heard the sound of tanks."

"Country A is the safest and most peaceful country. How could tanks pass through it?"

"That's right."

Lu Qi looked at the coffee that was so cold that it turned black, like a scab.

Lately, she's been wondering what kind of relationship she's in. She doesn't know where he is, or what he's doing, and he won't tell her anything, so she has to guess and imagine everything.

A man full of secrets.

Even if one day he breaks up with her, she might still be like a fool and know nothing.

Maybe it was because they started too quickly, and she didn't understand him at all, so she just threw herself into it wholeheartedly.

He took a sip of coffee, and the next second he heard Pera's new guess, and almost choked on it: "Oh, I figured it out, maybe he's dead!"

"Cough cough." Lu Qi coughed violently and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "What?"

Pera said seriously: "You forgot how you two met. Someone tried to assassinate him, and his bodyguard is still staying in our hospital. He has been there for three months."

Lu Qi came back to his senses, suddenly grabbed the coffee, drank it in one gulp, and stood up: "He has indeed been staying in the hospital for a long time, it's time for him to be discharged."

After saying that, Lu Qi walked towards Rashid's ward without hesitation.

Go through the long corridor.

Lu Qi stopped and looked at the building opposite. He had asked Simon where he had been a few days ago.

Simon also said that he had returned to his country, saying that something might have happened, and turned off his phone.

Lu Qi took out his cell phone, which contained the messages he had sent. The last few messages were marked as unreceived.

[It's winter now. I heard it snows where you are. Is it cold?]

[Are you so busy today? I haven't even turned on my phone yet.]

【It’s been five days, where are the people?】

Sighing, Lu Qi hesitated and typed another message on the message - [Do you actually want to break up with me? ]

After thinking about it, I deleted this message and replaced it with this one - [Is he really dead? ]

I shook my head and deleted this one.

After taking back the phone, Lu Qi walked into Rashid's ward.

Rashid has almost recovered. His previous injury was so serious that it took him three whole months to get out of bed. Now he sees Lu Qi.

Rashid asked anxiously, "Doctor Fatima, they said they need your signature before I can be discharged. Can I leave today?"

"According to medical observation, it will indeed take a few days. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Lu Qi looked at him strangely.

Other patients are anxious to be discharged because Meixi's hospitalization fees are too high. Rashid has free food and accommodation at Tantari. Isn't he living comfortably here?

Rashid was not a seasoned man like Simon. When he heard Lu Qi's doubts, his eyes evaded: "It's been too long. I want to go home and see my family. I'm worried about them."

Lu Qi was even more confused. Rashid had lived here for three months, but his wife and children had never come to see him. Usually, it was people from the group who came.

I asked casually, "Is there anyone else at home?"

Rashid was confused by the question and didn't know how to respond.

Lu Qi thought he had crossed the line and asked an inappropriate question, so he quickly changed the subject.

"How about this, let's wait a day. One of your indicators still doesn't meet the discharge criteria. Your group paid such a large sum of money at once, so I have to be responsible for you."

As they were talking, two nurses walked by in the corridor, talking.

"Have you seen the news? The ** region is in dire straits. The unrest hasn't completely subsided, the leader of the XX organization hasn't been apprehended yet, and there's been a recent outbreak of a plague with a 70% mortality rate."

"That's right. I heard that the border is completely blocked and the WHO has already intervened."

Hearing this, Lu Qi's ears moved.

Lu Qi had also heard a little about the plague they were talking about. It was a high fever infectious disease, almost as contagious as the Ebola virus.

The conversation outside gradually drifted away, but Lu Qi heard the person on the bed stood up hurriedly.

It's obvious that he's going to be discharged from the hospital, and even a cow can't stop him.

Lu Qi hurriedly said, "Rashd, what are you doing? It's just one more day. If you leave the hospital like this, I won't be able to explain myself."

Rashid hurriedly put on his jacket and stammered, "Doctor Fatima, please, do me a favor. I really need to leave. It's urgent."

Lu Qi was not a fool and did not notice it at first, but Rashid showed it so obviously.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of Mr. Pei?" Rashid had no family and was in a hurry to leave, so it could only be a work matter.

Could this sudden change be related to what the two nurses just said?

After thinking for a while, Lu Qi concentrated his mind and asked again, very sincerely: "Can you tell me where he is?"

Rashid paused, seemingly hesitating for a long time before finally speaking, "In the ** area. Contact with headquarters has been lost for a week."
