That needle—even thicker than a branch from a willow tree—was about to plunge into Layla’s body. She could not help but cry out: “Help… Help… Quickly, come and help me!”
The doctor, who was originally rushing towards the ward under the guidance of the nurse, heard Layla’s shout and quickened his pace to dash into the ward.
Layla heard the door of the ward open and thought, this is great. Thank God, I’m saved now!
However, when Layla peeked her head out of the blanket, she realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined!
That skull was still floating in the air but all the doctors and nurses acted as if this thing did not exist. They could not see it with their eyes at all!
The doctor did a simple full-body examination on Layla, and the conclusion was that all her physical indicators were still very normal. Logically speaking, such a situation shouldn’t have happened.
“Doctor, why do my legs have no strength at all? So much so that I can’t even stand up?”
“Doctor, please help me. I’m the captain of our school’s tennis team. My health is really important to me. Please, help me! ”
Layla could not accept the cruel fact that her legs weren’t able to move. Upon imagining that she might not be able to play tennis like before in the future, there was already a sobbing tone in her voice.
“I’m very sorry, Miss Layla. I’ve already done a check-up on you. I can confirm that your legs are very healthy, and furthermore, there’s no handprint like you mentioned.”
The doctor looked up at his surroundings again, as if to confirm it again.
This ward in his eyes was clean and tidy. There was no sign of any human skull emitting green flames like what Layla had just said.
He continued, “This room has also been cleaned very neatly. There is no skull like you described. Miss Layla, all of your physiological functions are normal.”
“As for these strange phenomena that you mentioned and the problem of your legs not being able to move, I think that it’s very likely to be a symptom of stress that occurred after the car accident. I suggest that you find a psychiatrist to take a look.”
The doctor gave Layla a few, simple words of comfort and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the doctor was about to leave, Layla quickly shouted at the doctor, “Doctor, I want to be discharged!”
Perhaps realizing that her voice had been too loud just now, Layla calmed her emotions down a little again. “Doctor, I want to go home! May I be discharged now?”
Layla was originally a modern youth who believed in science. Before today, she didn’t believe that there were ghosts in this world at all.
However, this kind of thing had truly happened to her now.
Layla looked at the swaggering green skull in the air and suddenly remembered that she had read this somewhere before. As the rate of fatality was higher in the hospitals, evil spirits flourished here easily.
However, some evil spirits could not leave their birthplace.
Although she still didn’t know what this skull was, Layla thought that the books probably wouldn’t lie.
If she was discharged, she might be able to get rid of this skull.
“Miss Layla, although you are young, have stronger recuperation ability, and your physical fitness is also fine, I still suggest that you stay in the hospital for a few days of observation. After all, a car accident is not a small matter.”
Layla looked at the evil spirit that only she could see and felt a chill run down her spine.
She gritted her teeth and insisted, “Doctor, didn’t you just say that everything is normal with my body? I feel that I’m fine too. I volunteer to apply for discharge. I hope that you can approve.”
Seeing that this young girl in front of him was very determined and that there was indeed no major problem with her body, the doctor could only give in and say, “All right, you can settle the discharge procedures when your family member gets here.”
“Miss Layla, I’ve already informed your father. He’ll probably be here soon,” the nurse also comforted her by the side.
Hearing them say that, Layla’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She raised her hand to wipe the tears that had yet to dry on her face.
When she lowered her head, she realized that she had been so frightened just now that her entire body was covered in a cold sweat. Even now, the goosebumps on her arms had not subsided.
The doctor also discovered her abnormality and thought that it was the aftereffect of shock from the car accident. He instructed the nurse to give her some sedatives.
“It’ll be fine when I get home. It’ll be fine when I get home. I can’t see it, I can’t see…” Layla repeated these words silently in her heart before gradually falling asleep under the effects of the drug.
