Eric Carter, as someone with experience, comforted from the side. His experience was much richer than that of his "wife," and naturally, his psychological endurance was much stronger.

"Shut up."

The woman replied with these two words. If Eric Carter had said this as a senior, it would indeed have been advice;

But now Eric Carter is Ryan Cooper, and for him to say this to Dr. Sullivan in his current identity, it was just talking without understanding the pain.

"……" Eric Carter shrugged, once again secretly despising Ryan Cooper in his heart. Look at you, such a coward—your wife dares to tell you to shut up right to your face.

Dr. Sullivan, eyes red, slowly stood up. "I'm going to change clothes and go home."

"Okay." Eric Carter nodded.

At this moment, two nurses pulled open the curtain of the emergency room, revealing the hospital bed inside. On the bed lay a small body, covered with a white sheet.

Eric Carter glanced over. He had seen many dead people. Over his years in medicine, he had saved many lives, but there were also plenty of patients who died right in front of him, powerless to help.

"Dr. Sullivan, is this your husband?" a young nurse asked teasingly. They all knew Dr. Sullivan was married, but unlike the boyfriends of other female doctors and nurses, Dr. Sullivan's husband had never shown up at the hospital.

You can't blame them for joking in the face of death. It's like expecting those hipsters who post on social media about their souls being purified after a trip to Tibet to actually live there for ten years—they couldn't handle it. It's just not realistic.

"Yes." Dr. Sullivan nodded in response. At this point, her emotions had also calmed down a bit.

"Then you two should hurry home. Who knows, maybe there are some activities waiting for you at home, right?

Let me tell you, our Dr. Sullivan really loves kids. You two should hurry home..."

"Damn!"

"……" The young nurse.

Eric Carter saw the edge of a lily-patterned dress peeking out from under the white sheet. His mind went blank with a "boom," and he suddenly realized that the unharmed little girl he had just seen—

She wasn't human!

Chapter 6: Meeting the Parents!

That one word, "Damn,"

After it was said,

The two young nurses were a bit at a loss, and Dr. Sullivan was also stunned for a moment.

It was just too blunt and abrupt.

Eric Carter didn't bother to explain. He reached out and lifted the white sheet covering the girl's head.

It was her, it really was her!

No wonder she didn't have a scratch on her earlier,

Not even a single bruise on her body.

It wasn't because she was lucky to be sitting in the back row.

In fact,

She was the most seriously injured of all the children. The doctors had just tried their best to save her.

Her soul had already drifted out, but she didn't realize it. She was still reminding him not to smoke in public and even went to comfort the other kids who had minor injuries.

Actually,

Those kids couldn't see her at all.

In the entire hospital,

The only person who could see her

Was Eric Carter!

"Is she dead?" Eric Carter asked as he looked around.

"Ryan Cooper?" Dr. Sullivan looked at her husband. She didn't want to bother with his foul language just now, because she noticed that her husband was acting a bit strange.

"She's not dead yet! Keep trying, keep resuscitating her!"

Eric Carter suddenly grabbed Dr. Sullivan's arm, pulled her over, and shouted:

"The resuscitation window isn't over yet! She still has a chance to wake up! Keep trying!"

"Sir, sir!"

The two nurses saw Eric Carter grabbing Dr. Sullivan so roughly and immediately stepped forward to pull him away. In their eyes, Dr. Sullivan's husband was acting very strangely, and even seemed to have violent tendencies.

Eric Carter pushed the two nurses aside and let go of his grip, muttering under his breath:

"Where are you, where are you, where on earth are you!"

Eric Carter rushed out, running and searching.

Just moments ago, the girl's soul had been moving among the children, comforting them. Now, she was nowhere to be found.

Had she already gone to the underworld?

She was already dead.

Was it already too late?

Eric Carter felt a bit lost. He didn't know why he was so agitated, or why he was so anxious;

Maybe it was because of his profession—saving any patient with a chance of survival was his duty. And that kind, strong little girl had just interacted with him.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

A familiar child's voice sounded behind Eric Carter. He immediately turned around and saw the little girl again.

But now, her body was no longer as solid as before—she had become semi-transparent.

"Uncle, I'm a little cold." The little girl hugged her arms and squatted down. "I went to ask the nurse sisters if they could lend me some clothes, but they ignored me. Do they hate me? Am I really that annoying?"

Little points of light kept drifting from the girl's body. Eric Carter had seen this scene before—it had happened to him once.

"Ryan Cooper, come home with me!"

At this moment, Dr. Sullivan walked over.
