⚠️Original Female Lead II

TW:Mentions and Descriptions of Self Harm

Just as Lin Qing was concocting her plan of emotional manipulation, her phone ranged, slicing through her thoughts.

She answered the call, and immediately, the voice of a nurse, laced with anxiety and trepidation, filled her ear. "Miss Lin Qing?" the nurse began, her voice quivering slightly, betraying her nervousness. "This is Nurse Li from the hospital. I'm calling regarding the patient , Sun Ming. I must inform you that she's exhibiting some alarming behavior."

Lin Qing straightened up, her expression turning serious.

The nurse continued, cautiously choosing her words, "She's... she's become rather agitated and is showing signs of self-harm. We've had to restrain her for her own safety. She's become quite hysterical, and we're struggling to stabilize her emotionally and physically."

The nurse's voice was strained, clearly conveying the gravity of the situation. "It's crucial for someone close to her to be here. Your presence might help calm her down. We're doing our best, but in cases like these, familiar faces can make a significant difference."

Lin Qing felt a headache coming. She only helped original female lead to be admitted to hospital, ' When did I become her guardian ' she thought. But she still responded , "I'll be there as soon as I can. Please, do whatever is necessary to keep her safe"

Ending the call, Lin Qing's mind raced, 'Is the Original Female Lead suicidal?' she wondered.

Turning to the System, she asked, "What do you think, System?"

The System replied, "I'm not sure, host. It might be best to observe her for now. Something doesn't add up."

Navigating the hospital's sterile, white corridors, Lin Qing hurried towards the room where Sun Ming had been admitted.

The closer she got, the more distinct the sounds of commotion became, leaking through the door and amplifying her sense of dread.

As Lin Qing approached, she saw the VIP ward's door ajar. Inside, three nurses struggled to calm Sun Ming, who was wildly brandishing a syringe. "I'll cut it, don't come close!" she screamed, her voice laced with hysteria. Sun Ming, clad in a blood-stained hospital gown, was visibly shaken, her hand trembling as she gripped the bloodied syringe.

Muttering to herself, Sun Ming repeated, "I'll change it, I'll change everything..." Her words were eerie with a hint of begging.

Freshly cut scars on her wrists bled profusely, the blood spilling onto the floor and forming a ghastly pattern. Her movements were erratic and unpredictable, her eyes flitting around the room as though she were seeing invisible horrors.

Lin Qing stood rooted to the spot, shock gripping her as she witnessed this scene.

The drastic change in Sun Ming's demeanor was deeply unsettling. This version of Sun Ming was a stark contradiction to the sweet, naive personality the plot had originally described her. It was also completely different than the girl Lin Qing remembered the girl who fought with the ghost girl who possessed her body to get Liu Jun back.

"Host, something is amiss," the System's mechanical voice interjected, pulling Lin Qing out of her deep contemplation.

Lin Qing observed the girl, bleeding profusely yet so erratic in her actions that none of the nurses could prevent her from further self-harm.

Without realizing it, Lin Qing felt an urge to intervene, and almost instinctively, she called out, "Sun Ming!" her voice breaking through the chaos.

Sun Ming's gaze locked onto Lin Qing, her eyes wild with hysteria. "Youuu," she accused, staring intently at Lin Qing.

"You can't have him, it's not your right, I need my daughter" she ranted.

"My daughter, I have to find her" Sun Ming continued, her voice tinged with desperation.

"You won't take my daughter from me," she declared, her tone fierce.

"I won't let you!" Sun Ming exclaimed, her eyes alight with fury as she lunged towards Lin Qing.

However, before she could get close to Lin Qing, a nurse swiftly administered a sedative, commonly used to subdue agitated patients.

As the medication began to take effect, Sun Ming's movements slowed. "You... return my daughter," she slurred, her voice fading into a mix of confusion and distress, her consciousness ebbing away.

Lin Qing, visibly shaken by the scene, turned to the System and inquired, "What's going on with her?"

The System responded, its tone uncertain, "Host, I'm not sure. I'm at a loss here. I need to go offline for a bit to analyze and rectify any errors in my calculations."

The nurses looked at each other, one of them was gazing Lin Qing with eyes filled of suspicion she couldn't help to step forward and address Lin Qing with a sense of urgency. "Miss, for the patient's ongoing care, it's important that we contact any family members she may have, she needs a legal guardian in her mental state"

Lin Qing maintained a calm demeanor, though she couldn't help but notice the way the nurse looking at her , she started explaining ;"I happened to be at Lion Entertainment for a business deal when I saw her collapse.

Out of concern, I assisted her , even paid her stay .

After contacting her employer, I learned that her only relative passed away four years ago, and she has no legal guardian.

Perhaps involving the police would be appropriate in this situation? I'm not personally close to the patient; I'm just a concerned citizen," her tone embodying both her concern and the gravity of the situation.

None of this things she said were lie, everything was exactly as she said.

But because she was aware of the original story, she felt like she was lying for some reason.

When Sun Ming tried to charge on her cursing her, she really thought she might have be the reason for her suffering.

Lin Qing felt a twinge of regret for getting involved with the original female lead.

'Why did I have to be such busybody?' she pondered. Initially, her help was meant to be a one-time act of kindness as she felt a tinge of sympathy but now she felt as though she had crossed a line, she shouldn't.

The wild, frantic look in the girl's eyes haunted Lin Qing. The sheer intensity of her madness was genuinely terrifying.

"Stop Lin Qing, why do you feel guilty, is it because she is too pitiful?

There are many pitiful people Lin Qing, will you feel guilty about them too?

It isn't your problem!

Stop it" she talked to herself trying to calm her nerves.
