Chapter 1372 - 1389: Xia Xiaonuan Is Fake 2
Whether she will wake up or not is still unknown. Even if she wakes up, no one can say for sure what the future holds for her brain after the impact.
But Xiaonuan felt that this was already considered good news.
At least, for now, it seems that she has not been burdened with another life on her conscience.
Xiaonuan helplessly sighed softly.
The special care ward in the hospital was filled with a heavy sense of oppression.
An Ya’s mother was crying uncontrollably in the corridor, while a middle-aged man stood by the bedside, with a porcelain basin on the headboard, covered with a white towel.
The air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
In the corner, there were some daily necessities piled up and some unpacked fruits.
Xiaonuan placed a bouquet of fresh flowers on the cabinet by the bedside.
"How... how is she?"
The man, probably her husband, held her hand and glanced at Xiaonuan.
"You are her colleague too, right? Thank you for coming to see her," the man said dispiritedly, then turned his gaze back to Manager An lying on the bed.
Xiaonuan originally wanted to ask more questions, like how is the matter being handled? Was the hit-and-run driver caught? What did the police say?
However, looking at the man’s expression, and seeing An Ya lying on the bed, head wrapped in bandages, lips pale, still unconscious, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
After thinking for a moment, she took out two thousand yuan she had prepared from her bag and quietly placed it on the table.
She took one last look at the figures of the two people, and without saying anything, quietly left.
She knew that this money wasn’t much and couldn’t change anything.
But at this moment, if she took out too much money, it might arouse suspicion.
And this bit of money was a small gesture of her good intentions.
After leaving the hospital, Xiaonuan went to the mall again.
She stood at the jewelry counter, and a salesperson came up enthusiastically to introduce the items.
Xiaonuan glanced at the counter and immediately spotted that necklace.
"Miss, you have a good eye. This necklace is a limited edition and holds a lot of significance."
Xiaonuan took the necklace handed to her by the saleslady.
She couldn’t help but speak, "I want to buy this necklace as a gift for a friend, but I’m not sure if she’ll like it. If I buy it now and she doesn’t like it, can I return it?"
The saleslady froze for a moment.
Then said, somewhat awkwardly, "Well... I’m sorry, Miss. If it were any other piece, it could be returned, but this one is a global limited edition. Once registered, it will be connected to the network at the headquarters in the United States. So, it cannot be returned."
Xiaonuan nodded.
She said somewhat regretfully, "I see, so once bought, it must be registered in the network?"
The saleslady hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Please wait a moment." After saying this, she went to the corner where a woman was standing and whispered something to her.
The woman glanced in her direction.
After a brief exchange, the saleslady quickly returned.
"How about this, Miss, if you really want to give it to your friend, I can consider selling it to you, but if your friend doesn’t like it, you must bring it back within three days. We can only delay reporting it to the US headquarters for three days. But if your friend doesn’t come back within three days and it’s entered into the system, then it really can’t be returned.
Because even if it’s returned, the computer will still show your name, which would be unfair to other customers."
