Chapter 79 The Power of Nightmare
Chapter 79 The Power of Nightmare
This morning, Lin Zihao waited at the restaurant for a long time but Lin Keke didn't come down for breakfast. She didn't reply to his messages either, so he asked Lin Miaomiao to go up and call her.
Lin Miaomiao arrived at Lin Keke's door and initially knocked lightly three times. After all, she knew Lin Keke's temper when she woke up. If it weren't for Lin Zihao's authority among his siblings, she wouldn't have come to put up with Lin Keke's temper!
After waiting for a while, Lin Keke did not open the door. She knocked on the door again, this time with more force. Logically speaking, even if she was sound asleep, she should have heard the sound.
Just as she was hesitating whether to knock on the door a third time, Lin Zihao arrived.
Actually, Lin Zihao regretted it soon after he asked Lin Miaomiao to call for help. After all, he knew what kind of person his sister was, and Lin Miaomiao might not be able to handle her. So he followed her upstairs.
This time, Lin Zihao knocked on the door and called out, but still received no response. Lin Zihao immediately sensed that something was wrong. He called the hotel staff, who used the hotel's main control system to open Lin Keke's room door from the inside.
Lin Zihao was the first to arrive at Lin Keke's room. When he got close to the bed, he saw that Lin Keke was covered in sweat, her face was pale, she was making whimpering noises, and her whole body was twitching from time to time.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zihao rushed to her side and slapped her face, trying to wake her up.
Lin Miaomiao, who followed in, was also startled when she saw Lin Keke's appearance. She hurriedly stepped forward and called out Lin Keke's name.
No matter how much they patted and called out, Lin Keke just wouldn't wake up, and her condition seemed to be getting worse, as could be seen from her rapid breathing and the increasing amount of sweat seeping from her skin.
The hotel staff who came in with her were also terrified. If something happened to Miss Lin here, regardless of whether it was the hotel's fault or not, they would not be in a good position.
The staff immediately notified the therapist to come and waited on the sidelines, ready to give instructions at any time.
"Bring me a glass of ice water." Seeing that he couldn't wake Lin Keke, Lin Zihao had no choice but to order the staff to bring him some ice water.
He didn't care that it was cold; he took it, drank it down in big gulps, and then sprayed it all over Lin Keke's head.
The scene fell silent. Even Lin Keke, who had been sobbing and talking in her sleep, quieted down and showed signs of waking up.
Seeing that it worked, Lin Zihao was overjoyed and sprayed Lin Keke with several more mouthfuls of ice water. Finally, Lin Keke's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes under the tense gaze of everyone present.
However, although her eyes were open, they were unfocused. Lin Zihao called out anxiously, but Lin Keke seemed not to hear him. She stared blankly ahead.
"Coco, Coco, what's wrong? Say something, don't scare your brother..." Before Lin Zihao could finish speaking, Lin Coco lay back down again and closed her eyes.
Now, the people present were even more panicked. What was going on? They had never encountered anything like this before!
"Where's the therapist? Where is he? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Lin Zihao shouted at the staff, his voice filled with anger and frustration.
Faced with Lin Zihao's anger, the staff member was somewhat intimidated, but still mustered up the courage to step forward and reply, "We've already sent someone to urge them on, and they'll be here soon."
"Hurry up! If anything happens to my sister, I'll make sure your hotel goes out of business," Lin Zihao threatened.
The staff member wanted to roll his eyes, but this young master Lin really could do such a thing, so he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction and just kept apologizing.
Finally, after a difficult wait, the therapist arrived.
Lin Zihao quickly stepped aside, "Come quickly and see what's wrong with my sister? Why can't I wake her up?"
The therapist went forward as instructed, pried open Lin Keke's eyelids to take a look, listened to her heartbeat, and finally placed her hand on a testing instrument.
After several examinations, the therapist frowned. He had never seen this situation before, and the instruments could not detect anything.
Just as he was wondering how to start the conversation, Lin Keke suddenly yelled and sat up on her own.
This time her eyes were focused, but her face was still deathly pale. The ice water that had just splashed on her face had left her hair disheveled, covering most of her face. She looked utterly wretched, even somewhat frightening.
However, Lin Zihao, being a loving older brother, showed no disgust and instead inquired about Lin Keke's condition with concern, "Keke, how are you feeling?"
Lin Keke felt weak all over; she seemed to still be trapped in a terrible nightmare. "Brother...brother...it's so scary..."
Lin Zihao wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Keke was too exhausted to answer, so he could only look at the therapist.
The therapist, understanding the situation, went over to examine Lin Keke again and then said to Lin Zihao, "The patient is no longer in danger. The most important thing now is for her to rest."
"Can she adapt to long-distance flights?" Lin Zihao didn't trust the medical standards here. He wanted to send his sister back to the Imperial Star for treatment. He had to find out the cause of his sister's condition.
"It's best not to. The patient is not in good health right now, and I can tell from her mental state that she seems to have suffered a great blow. It's better not to move her for the time being," the therapist advised.
Lin Zihao didn't say anything more, but looked worriedly at Lin Keke, who seemed to have fallen asleep again on the bed. Her tightly furrowed brows remained, as if she was under some kind of pressure.
Lin Zihao felt heartbroken. He regretted refusing his sister's invitation to come along. Now he didn't know whether he should send her back to the Imperial Star.
Lin Shushu's pills have more than just immediate effects. Lin Ke may be sleeping peacefully now, but it's only a temporary respite. Everything will start all over again tonight.
She would be trapped in recurring nightmares until she suffered a complete mental breakdown.
Lin Zihao instructed Lin Miaomiao to keep a close eye on Lin Keke while he went out to make contacts; he couldn't just sit idly by. Since his sister was temporarily unable to move, he would find a more advanced healer; he refused to believe that no one in the entire interstellar space could diagnose his sister's problem.
After everything was explained, Lin Zihao carefully recalled the events of the day. His sister's sudden condition was definitely not accidental; what exactly had happened?
He summoned the hotel staff and requested all the surveillance footage from when they entered the hotel, especially the footage of them sleeping at night, hoping to find something unusual.
Of course, he was destined to be disappointed. Everything was perfectly normal. He checked the hotel's surveillance footage and found nothing suspicious.
If Lin Shushu knew what he had done, she would just scoff. With her abilities, no one in this interstellar space could find her, let alone a small surveillance device.
This incident caused quite a stir, and everyone staying at the hotel knew about it. The Lin family's young lady had an accident on the very night she arrived on J56, and they were all deeply saddened. Sure enough, pampered young ladies from prominent families can't endure hardship.
Of course, some people think there must be something fishy going on, but what does it matter to them? They're just watching the show.
