Chapter 387: Mrs. Christie (Monthly Pass Plus)
Tingen Hospital.
Since her daughter, Meisha, works here, and Rovelly's income is not bad, Josh gets a quiet single room.
Since it was still early, his parents hadn't come yet, and the medical science of this era was not very advanced, so Josh didn't have the various life monitoring instruments that Xifa was familiar with in his previous life.
"Let Dr. Cavin give Josh a detailed examination, and we don't want to disturb them." Seeing that there was no one in the ward, Xifa quickly suggested to Hardy, and winked at Cavin.
The old man didn't think much, nodded in agreement, and followed Xifa to the corridor outside.
They sat for a while, and then they heard footsteps, and Mei Li, who was dressed as a nurse, came over.
"Father, you came here so early?" Meili looked at Xifa again, and nodded slightly to the enthusiastic reporter from yesterday.
Hardy sighed and said, "I have insomnia. This is the first time I have insomnia since your mother left."
"Is it because of Josh?"
Mei Li glanced into the ward, and then sat down angrily: "I warned Rovelly earlier to let him look at Josh more, and I also warned Maggie, but they all ignored my words!"
Xifa looked at the lady curiously, wondering if she had already noticed that her nephew was in some kind of danger?
Hardy immediately grabbed Meili's hand: "What's going on?"
"It was probably the first ten days of this month. When I was visiting Rovelli's house and chatting with Josh, he told me that someone was watching him."
"I thought it was just a child's nonsense, and I didn't take it to heart. But a few days later, when Maggie brought him to my house, Josh behaved very strangely."
"He was afraid of the paintings and photos I hung on the wall, and he asked me to try to cover them up."
When Mei Li said this, she couldn't help but glanced at the ward, and continued: "That's when Maggie told me that Josh has become weird recently. He took away the photo frame in his room, and yesterday he sent his father a few days ago. A painting bought at auction was torn up."
"I asked him why he did that, and he said, Aunt Mellie, the people in the painting wanted to catch me."
"I suggested that Maggie take Josh to church to pray, and finally talk about his situation with the bishops he is familiar with, but they always have various reasons to shirk."
Ma'am, you are so professional! Xifa gave Meili a thumbs up in her heart.
"Rovelli always says he's busy, and he loves his company more than his family; as for Maggie, she always has tea parties, and she prefers going to the mall rather than caring about her son."
"My God."
Hardy looked his daughter up and down: "Meili, don't you want to say that Josh's current situation has something to do with the people in the painting?"
"Otherwise, how do you explain that he looks healthy but can't wake up? Let me tell you, you should go to church to pray now, maybe you can get help from the gods."
Mei Li stood up and said, "Of course, this is just my own opinion. I know that since Mom left, Dad, you have gone to church less and less often."
Hardy fell silent for a moment.
At this time, the door of the ward opened, and Calvin came out.
"Who are you? Why are you in the ward!" Mei Li yelled all of a sudden.
Hardy got up and said, "Don't be nervous, this is Rayleigh's friend, a neurosurgeon, and Rayleigh asked him to come and examine Josh."
Meili was dubious: "Really? How did it turn out?"
Calvin looked at Xifa with a gloomy face and said, "We need to talk."
Hardy said nervously, "Doctor, have you found any problems?"
Xifa comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hardy, let me talk to my friend first, or you can go and see Josh with Ms. Meili first."
Only then did Hardy follow his daughter into the ward, watching the old man sit down by the bed, hold his grandson's hand in silence, Sifa let out a breath, and gave Cavin a wink.
The two came to the end of the corridor. No one passed by here, and it was relatively quiet.
"How's the situation?" Xifa asked, but he was already mentally prepared. The expression on Kavin's face just now explained something.
Calvin shook his head and said: "Very bad, quite bad. I can't see his 'spiritual body'. In occultism, it is generally believed that the 'spiritual body' is the most fundamental spirituality of everyone. In layman's terms , the 'spiritual body' can be equated with the human spirit body."
"Of course, there is still a little difference."
"But the problem now is that Josh's 'spiritual body' doesn't seem to be in his body, and I think this is the reason why he is so sleepy."
"Also, remember the divination last night? Now it seems that his 'spiritual body' should be imprisoned."
Suddenly, Xifa remembered Meili's words.
'The people in the painting want to catch him! '
"Can you divination, where is his 'spiritual body'?" Xifa asked, grabbing the fortune teller's arm.
Calvin clenched his fists and coughed dryly: "I did. In the ward, I used Josh's hair for divination, and got a clearer revelation than last night."
"I can confirm that Josh's 'spiritual body' was imprisoned in an old castle. From the window, I could see a large wheat field. I saw the clear river, the windmill by the river, and the red Houses with sloping roofs."
"But there is one thing that is very strange. Whether it is the wheat field outside the window or the trees by the river, their colors look very green. It seems that the season outside the castle is definitely not the current early winter, but more like spring and summer."
"In other words, the place where Josh is may not be the Kingdom of Loen."
Xifa thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No, he should still be in Loen, or even in Tingen City."
"It's impossible!" Calvin exclaimed softly.
Xifa didn't explain right away, he asked instead: "When you were divination, did you see anything related to paintings or photos?"
Calvin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, this is the second question I want to ask you."
"In the enlightenment I got, among those fragmented pictures, I can always see oil paintings and photos, and in them, I saw a very blurry figure."
"It looked like a woman in court attire, oh yes, in one of the photo frames, in the reflection of the glass, I saw Josh's back."
"Josh seems to be avoiding this figure, but that figure gets closer every time. I'm guessing that it should be this figure that runs away and imprisones Josh's 'spiritual body'."
"That's 'Mrs. Christie'!"
Mei Li's voice sounded, she didn't know what it was, she looked at Xifa and the two in shock: "Women who appear in various photos and oil paintings, wearing court attire, can never see her appearance clearly."
"It was 'Mrs. Christie', my childhood nightmare. God, I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it."
Meili covered her mouth and yelled in a slightly shrill voice: "Did Rovelli take out that damn painting again?"
