Seeing the unconscious person on the ground, Dr. Du was stunned for a moment, and all he could think of was: Why is it you again
But then, as a doctor's conditioned reflex, he immediately squatted down and checked the injury.
After groping behind Shen Shenxue for a while, Dr. Du said seriously: "The bullet is embedded in her body. I can only help her stop the bleeding. She also needs to be sent to the hospital to remove the bullet and get better treatment."
Before Quan Shi could say anything, Li Chuan had already gone out personally to notify the helicopter to be prepared.
Seeing Quan Shi staring closely at him to stop Shen Shenxue's bleeding, Dr. Du could only comfort him and said: "The bullet did not hit the vital point, sir, don't worry."
However, this sentence did not make Quan Shi breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, his eyes turned gloomy, looking at Dr. Du with a hint of threat, as if you said something wrong, you would be responsible for the consequences.
After Doctor Du bandaged Shen Shenxue's wound, Quan Shi picked him up and walked out the door without saying a word.
Li Chuan just wanted to come back and report, but when he saw this, he had to look at the prisoner on the ground and told the others: "Keep an eye on him until we come back."
After saying that, he hurriedly followed Quan Shi and got into the helicopter.
The propeller buzzed overhead, and for the first time in Quan Shi's life, the road from the castle to the hospital in the city felt extremely long.
The sun had already revealed a small part of the horizon, and the morning light poured into the helicopter, coating Shen Shenxue's pale face with a layer of gold.
Quan Shi hugged her tightly, fearing that her life would melt into this golden color and never be able to pull it back.
I can't lose you, he said in his heart, praying that Shen Shenxue could hear his voice, sorry.
The helicopter landed on the apron on the top floor of the hospital as quickly as possible. Several doctors in white coats were already waiting there with carts. When the helicopter stopped, they immediately rushed up to lift Shen Shenxue up and sent her directly in. In a dedicated operating room on a high floor.
Looking at the three dazzling red words "Under Surgery" on the door of the operating room, Quan Shi's face became darker and darker.
The blood on his hands had dried up and turned dark red. Quan Shi clenched his fists and tried to force himself to look far away.
"Sir..." Seeing the deep worry on Quan Shi's eyebrows, Li Chuan was about to say a few words of comfort, but was interrupted by him.
"You go back first and interrogate them as soon as possible. Who sent those people? You don't have to keep them after you find out the results." Quan Shi's tone was as cold as ice that has been deposited in hell for thousands of years.
This was the first time after a long time that Li Chuan saw such strong murderous intent in Quan Shi.
"Yes!" He solemnly agreed.
Not to mention that Quan Shi had already given the order, Li Chuan would have done it even if he hadn't said it.
Just when Li Chuan was about to leave, Quan Shi stopped him again. His tone was no longer cold, but filled with decadence, regret, and heartache.
"Li Chuan, she had already left, but she came back to save me."
Li Chuan sighed in his heart, feeling that any words of comfort were useless. But he was very lucky that there was such a person beside him who was willing to risk his life to save him.
The corridor outside the operating room fell into silence. After a while, Quan Shi waved weakly: "You go ahead."
Li Chuan nodded and said before leaving: "Miss Shen will be fine."
After Li Chuan left, the lights in the operating room finally went out.
A doctor came out and just took off his mask. Seeing the eager look in Quan Shi's eyes, he quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, the bullet has been taken out. It's not life-threatening. Just take a good rest and wait for the wound to heal."
Quan Shi's expression softened a little, and his body seemed to have lost strength, leaning against the wall on the side.
The doctor saw it and hesitated for a while before saying: "Young Master Quan, I see that this lady has a lot of old injuries. Her body is relatively weak, so she must take a good rest this time."
Quan Shi was stunned, remembering those things back then, and closed his eyes in pain.
Shen Shenxue was sent to the VIP ward. The white walls and sheets made her already pale face even more pale.
Quan Shi sat beside the hospital bed, looking at Shen Shenxue who was lying motionless on the bed, and was suddenly engulfed by a huge panic rising from the bottom of his heart.
He looked up at the instruments on the table and after confirming that the data on them were normal, his panic eased a little.
Gently covering Shen Shenxue's dripping hand with both hands, Quan Shi looked at her steadily, with tenderness in his eyes.
"Why didn't you confess your sincerity earlier? It must have come to this. As long as you stay by my side from now on, I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Thinking of the harm he had done to her, Quan Shi began to be tortured by guilt again. He leaned over and kissed Shen Shenxue on the cheek.
Quan Shi didn't understand when he fell in love with the woman in front of him.
Was it the time when she saved herself in the lobby, or was it when she heard her say "I love you", or was it when they first met on the cruise ship that night
No matter when it was, he could no longer deny that he was tempted.
I was furious last night, not so much the anger of finding out that I was being used and betrayed, but the panic and pain of waking up and finding that she had disappeared.
This hard-won love was so precious to him that when it suddenly disappeared, he no longer knew how to deal with it.
All he knew was to hold on to it and never lose it again.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and there were no lights on in the ward. The bright lights of the city shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on Quan Shi's sleeping face, and that chiseled face appeared and disappeared in the light at this moment.
When Shen Shenxue woke up, she saw such a face lying quietly beside the bed, and her hand was tightly grasped in the generous and warm palm.
She felt a little numb in her arm and tried to pull her hand back.
The person beside the bed immediately woke up like an alert leopard. Quan Shi straightened up, his eyes filled with panic as he suddenly lost something.
But when he saw Shen Shenxue lying on the bed, looking at him peacefully, his heart immediately settled down, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You're awake."
Shen Shenxue looked around and found that this place didn't look like a castle. Then she looked at the city outside the window and asked, "Are we in Mo City?"
"Well," Quan Shi spoke softly, making Shen Shenxue feel like she was still in a dream for a moment, "You were shot and unconscious. There are not enough doctors in the castle, so we can only send you here. We just completed the operation this morning."
Shen Shenxue put her hands on the bed and tried to sit up, but immediately felt a pain in her chest, and she gasped with a "hiss".
Quan Shi quickly walked to the bed and shook the bed for her, then looked at her worriedly: "Does the wound hurt? I'll call the doctor."
"No," Shen Shenxue quickly stopped him, "I'm fine."
Quan Shi went to the bedside and poured a glass of water, handed it to her mouth and said, "Drink some water."
Shen Shenxue didn't respond, just looked at him with complicated eyes.
Quan Shi smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Shenxue lowered her eyes, then set her gaze on Quan Shi, looking up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Quan Shi's eyes flashed with light, and he said softly: "I'm fine."
