As a professional doctor, Yono obviously does not believe in ghosts.

But if you stay in a hospital for a long time, you will inevitably hear related remarks, especially in places like the morgue.

Do ghosts really exist?

Yonuo never believed it, but the answer Xu Shen gave him in front of him made him a little shocked and confused.

Normally, people with hypochondriasis will never repeatedly see things around them that do not exist and make assumptions about them.

What's more, Xu Shen is constantly taking medicine for treatment.

Those things that disappear around Xu Shen will also gradually disappear in Xu Shen's imaginary stories, such as death or leaving.

If Xu Shen was imprisoned in a certain place, such as being imprisoned at home for the first time, he would reimagine the things he saw before and recycle them in his mind over and over again, but Xu Shen had long since escaped from that harsh environment.

Yono stared at Xu Shen's expression and said, "Are you sure you can see Maeve at any time? Including you now?"

Xu Shen looked around the ward and was about to shake his head when his expression suddenly changed slightly, whether he was happy or surprised, and his eyes fell behind Yono.

A figure walked through the wall there.

Maeve.

In an instant, Xu Shen felt as if he and Maeve were looking at each other.

That electric shock-like feeling made the hairs all over Xu Shen's body tense up.

Soon, his body reacted subconsciously, responded, and calmly turned his gaze away.

"Here I go again."

Maeve smiled and penetrated Jonno's body, walking around to the bedside. She was still dressed in the same dress, as light and beautiful as a dancing butterfly.

"Is this bad old man annoyed?"

Maeve came close to Xu Shen and whispered softly, and the faint fragrance floated into Xu Shen's nose.

Xu Shen's heart was shaking.

Is this reality?

So why is there Maeve?

Could it be that she is really a ghost?!

But in reality... where are the ghosts?

Sure enough, this is all an illusion.

But... Yono's words and everything around him are so true.

Xu Shen's eyes were dull and he was confused.

Yonuo saw that Xu Shen didn't answer for a long time, so he shook his head and did not continue to ask, fearing that Xu Shen would be irritated.

He had just regained consciousness today and he did not dare to cause too much stimulation to Xu Shen. After all, the effect of the drug was limited.

"You should rest first." Yono said, then turned and left.

The door to the ward was closed, and Xu Shen heard the footsteps of Yono and his mother getting farther and farther away. He could also hear his mother asking about his condition with concern, and their voices gradually faded away.

"They're gone."

Maeve looked outside and said with a smile.

Xu Shen said nothing and sat numbly on the bed, but felt very conflicted inside.

The warmth and tranquility that Maeve felt by his side was mixed with a trace of fear at this moment.

Is this beautiful and ethereal girl in front of me actually a ghost?

What kind of world is the reality we live in?

"Are you scared?"

Maeve seemed to be aware of Xu Shen's mood, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she turned slightly sideways and lowered her head, approaching Xu Shen. In an instant, Xu Shen seemed to smell the faint body fragrance emanating from the other person's body.

What made Xu Shen's pupils gradually dilate was that Maeve gently held his palm.

Silky to the touch, as soft as milk, soft and boneless, with warm body temperature.

Xu Shen was stunned.

"Now, you can't pretend you can't see me..." Maeve smiled softly, but her eyes were filled with deep tenderness.

Xu Shen's body became stiff, but soon gradually relaxed, as if a breath that had been suppressed for a long time was slowly released.

He leaned quietly on the hospital bed, his dull eyes gradually regained their vitality, and moved his eyes bit by bit to stare at the beautiful girl beside him.

He looked at it so carefully and seriously.

This time, he didn't dodge at all, he just stared at it wholeheartedly.

Maeve also stared back, but there was tenderness between her eyebrows.

"Do you need me to introduce myself?"

Maeve said softly: "My name is Maeve, you have to remember it."

I will never forget... Xu Shen replied silently in his heart, and also said softly: "My name is Xu Shen."

"I know your name..." Maeve snickered like a child, stood on tiptoes, and sat on the hospital bed. Xu Shen also quickly moved to the other side to make more room for her.

The infusion tube on his arm was pulled and torn into a wound, and Xu Shen bared his teeth slightly.

Maeve smiled when she saw this: "Are you still afraid of this pain?"

Xu Shen couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not afraid."

Maeve turned her eyes and looked at Xu Shen with interest: "Then are you afraid of me?"

The smile on Xu Shen's face grew wider, "I'm not afraid."

When Maeve heard Xu Shen's words, it seemed that she had expected it, but there was still a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she was excited or moved. She said softly: "You are the only one who can see me here."

Xu Shen whispered: "Are you the ghost they said?"

Maeve did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

"That should be it." Xu Shen thought of the scene when she just penetrated Yonuo's body.

"Then you're not afraid?" Maeve asked.

Xu Shen smiled: "You have been with me for so long, even if you are a ghost, you are still a good ghost."

Maeve was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, as if she heard something extremely interesting. She laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter. It took a while before she calmed down, and she said with a half-smile: "There are good and bad ghosts."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to become slightly evil.

The look in his eyes was very familiar, like a prey staring at the delicious dinner plate in front of him.

But Xu Shen was not afraid this time, and just smiled quietly: "Maybe not, but I can define it."

Maeve smiled and said: "If I eat you, will you still think I am good?"

Xu Shen Shen thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "At least you are accompanying me."

When Maeve heard these words, the smile on her face faded slightly, she stared deeply at Xu Shen, and said with a bit of melancholy and sigh: "This is such a lonely answer..."

She was silent for a while, then raised her head and smiled at Xu Shen: "I won't eat you, because... you at least accompanied me."

The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other.

Two lonely souls, one a ghost and one a ghost, keeping each other company.

Time passed quietly in the ward.

The sun sets and night falls.

The doctor on duty came in for rounds, and Xu Shen saw that the doctor's face was the middle-aged man he had seen downstairs at Yono's private clinic.

He looked indifferent and no longer thought about whether it was an illusion or reality.

When the doctor on duty came over, Maeve's figure disappeared and became illusory. She stood by the window. When the doctor left, Maeve appeared again and chatted with Xu Shen.

The window was slightly opened, and the cool wind from outside blew in, making the curtains flutter.

The night is as cool as water.

The lights in the ward were turned off early, and only the bright moonlight shone in, and the bright stars outside could be seen.

Xu Shen gave half of his hospital bed to Maeve, and the two leaned on the bed and chatted.

Maeve told Xu Shen interesting stories about other wards.

It was the first time that Xu Shen chatted with Maeve so truly and freely. They had met countless times but could only pretend to turn a blind eye, but now they could communicate freely.

The moon rises and the stars set, and the morning sun changes.

Time passes day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Xu Shen came to the ward.

Yonuo would come to check the ward every day and fill in the things in Xu Shen's story through reality, making Xu Shen understand that everything is a reference to reality.

Including everyone he knows.

Su Shuang is a patient in Xiao Zhao's clinic. She also suffers from delusional disorder, but her symptoms are much milder than Xu Shen's. Xu Shen accidentally sees her being assaulted by another doctor.

The ant queen is the patient in Room 1 of Xiao Zhao's clinic. She is the most seriously ill, much worse than Xu Shen, and has strong schizophrenia.

Maeve quietly revealed from the side that she saw the queen ant split into three personalities, talking to herself and talking to each other.
