Chapter 170 169. Ed And Dirt?!
Shane's days in the hospital were uneventful. He didn't see the doctor again after that. The nurses also treated him terribly. So he rarely saw them unless it was an emergency. At this time, all he wanted to do was find a way to survive this ordeal.
Currently, he had already healed enough to walk around the place without disturbing anyone.
Oh, when he opened his eyes, he'd wreaked yet more havoc in the ward. The nurses jumped and ran away as if they had seen a ghost when he opened his eyes. Then the doctor initiated a series of tests and didn't even let him rest.
Shane almost felt like he was in prison, not the hospital. He continued to sit back and let the doctor do what he wanted. In any case, this wasn't his body in the first place. Whatever crime the original owner of this body committed wasn't really done by him. So Shane couldn't be blamed for those gazes.
That was how he ended up hypnotizing himself into thinking that he had done nothing wrong. But he still felt uncomfortable upon receiving such gazes.
At this time, he was sitting beside the window when a nurse approached him with his file. She cleared her throat.
After almost a month, everyone was surprised to see that Shane had done nothing. The man hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and he would just sit around by the window and stare outside.
Even the doctor was silent, and he had to confirm that Shane had lost his memories at this time. So he started the procedure to treat the man's brain.
But Shane knew that the memories would never come back because the original person seemed to have died. Still, it would have been fine if he could get more information about this world. From what he could see outside the window, this world seemed to be modern.
How did he end up in such a world? After dying as Shane Cooper, he had never thought he would get to breathe in such a world ever again, but how come he was so unlucky that he ended up in such a strange world?
He sighed and turned around, smiling at the lady. He gestured to the lady to say something.
When Shane was silent, his entire body was engulfed in the warmth and beauty of the sunlight, so much so that he seemed like an angel who had descended onto the Earth for the purpose of spreading peace and love. The nurse continued to stare at the man for a moment before hearing him clear his throat.
She turned her head and coughed in embarrassment. She had forgotten what kind of person this was!
After that, she pulled out the file and opened the pages. "Your file is ready. The doctor has prescribed your medicines, but you have nothing to worry about. The doctors in the institute will take care of everything, but you still don't have freedom."
Shane finally couldn't help it as he asked, "Miss, can you tell me what kind of crime I committed?"
The nurse's face paled at the moment as she stared at the young man for a long time. Only when she was sure that he was genuinely curious, she sighed and shook her head. "It's fine if you can't remember. Actually, it's actually better that you have forgotten everything. You can still turn over a new leaf and become a normal person."
Shane raised his brows and nodded, continuing to stare at her. He sat back by the window and turned his gaze outside. Children were still playing outside in the garden. Since his room was on the third floor, he could only hear yells from such a height. A few children glanced in his direction and whispered something to one another. Then they laughed and turned away as if nothing had happened.
But Shane knew that they were talking about him, or rather, the previous owner of his body.
It was strange, though. Since he was here, he should have been given a mission or something, but he wasn't. Was this because the entire system world was destroyed just like that?
He couldn't tell what was going on. So he could only wait to escape this place and find a way to hack into the system.
What he first wanted to do was find out who he was and what the previous owner did to receive such gazes from everyone else around him.
From the nurse's words, he could say that he was going to head over to some institute. It couldn't be a normal institute, and he knew it could even be a mental institute. So he was ready to face any consequences.
At this time, the nurse coughed again as she said, "Mr. Cooper, you'll be taken to the institute tomorrow. So please be ready for that. You don't need to pack any luggage for this trip. You'll get everything at the institute. You just have to live comfortably and try to become healthy, yeah? Here's the file. Take care!"
After that, the nurse didn't dare to linger there any longer. She jumped up and rushed away from the ward, closing the door behind her.
Shane sighed and continued to stare outside the window.
He knew that he could escape, but he didn't want to take a chance.
He had noticed that his name and his face were similar to that of his real identity. This made him even more confused.
Just what the heck was going on?
He spent the entire day in the hospital doing nothing until the next day arrived. The doctor did a last-minute checkup and confirmed that Shane's body was fine. Then he nodded and said, "You're completely fine. Now, get out of here. The chief inspector and his assistant will arrive here to take you back."
Shane nodded as she sat on the bed with his hands folded on his chest. His entire body leaned against the headboard as he closed his eyes, as if resting at that moment. Just then, he heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the corridor outside the ward. The door swung open as he heard two people talking to one another.
"Boss, are you sure we have to take him?" "We should have appointed subordinates; why do we have to do this hopeless duty?" said the young, very familiar voice. We are not in the business of transferring criminals! Boss, say something!"
"Shut up!" A mature, very familiar voice spoke.
Shane's heart was so shocked after hearing those voices that his expression nearly distorted.
What the f*ck?!
That's Ed and Dirt!
How could this happen?
Shane's heart thudded in his chest faster than ever. He didn't think he would still be able to see these people after such a long time. They were dead, but he had seen them grow from timid children into strong adults who couldn't be defeated easily. It could be said that he was the master of his master.
Now, the same people have come back into his life, all over again.
Could he possibly end up seeing Hope as well?
Shane frowned upon thinking that. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Even though the situation was against him, he could still make it out after seeing the situation.
He needed to calm down first and see if he could get his hands on a computer or a laptop.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the man who had just entered with a calm face. It didn't seem like his heart had just received a shock.
Ed glanced at the young man and grunted. "Let's go, kid. You'll be under my care from now on."
Under his care?
For some reason, Shane didn't feel good about this. He almost felt like this would be the case of his master taking revenge against him for treating the man that way when his master was still a kid.
Shane averted his eyes and nodded.
He silently changed into the regular clothes that Ed had bought and started walking with the duo. It seemed that Shane's face was famous throughout the world. So when he walked out, the entire hospital started talking about him.
"F*ck! So it was true? This person was really admitted here?!"
"Damn it! Why did I bring my daughter here into his presence?"
"Hey, Cooper, get the heck out of here! GET OUTTT!!!!"
Soon enough, vegetables, shoes, and even medicines were thrown at his body, making him frown.
Even though he had tolerance for these people's behavior because he knew he wasn't the one who had originally committed the crime, that didn't mean he would continue to stay silent.
He wiped his face and glared at those people. "What the f*ck is wrong with you?! Didn't the doctor say I don't have any memory? I don't f*cking know what kind of crime I committed to make you all hate me like this, but right now, I'm as innocent as a child! I'm sorry for whatever I did!"
Everyone was shocked by his outburst.
