"Well, the soup may still be a little hot. Let me open the lid for you so that it'll cool down faster." Elizabeth proceeded to open the food container. The chicken soup was garnished with a few green onions, appearing very appetizing.
However, Janet wasn't paying attention to the soup at all.
She lifted a corner of her quilt, got out of bed and put on her shoes.
"Where are you headed? You don't look very well. Let me help you." Elizabeth quickly walked over and grabbed hold of Janet's wrist. Even though her tone was still cold, the look in her eyes happened to be very serious right then.
With a gentle smile on her face, Janet pointed her finger to the bathroom in the ward and said in a very weak voice, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Elizabeth nodded and didn't say another word. She carefully helped Janet head over to the bathroom.
Once they reached the door of the bathroom, Janet suddenly fainted with no given warning.
"Janet!" Elizabeth exclaimed as she panicked.
In fact, Janet only pretended to faint. Now that there were only two people in the ward, if Elizabeth wanted to hurt Janet, she would definitely do nothing to help her out.
In addition, Elizabeth might even do something secretly to Janet while she was unconscious.
It was obvious that Elizabeth was very anxious at this time. She did everything she could to help Janet up. Elizabeth was slender and a little on the thin side. Due to that, it was extremely difficult for her to lift Janet up.
After a few minutes of this, Elizabeth finally helped Janet over to the bed. She tucked Janet in and hurried out to get the attention of the doctor.
Janet opened her eyes and peeked out of the ward.
This was strange. Elizabeth didn't appear to be acting.
She couldn't pretend to be unconscious anymore. If the doctor walked in and found out that she had only pretended to faint, it would be very embarrassing.
With her elbows supporting her body, Janet leaned against the pillow on her bed as if she had just regained consciousness.
