Chapter 664: Not a Single Unhurt Spot
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi were sent to the emergency room.
Their family waited anxiously outside.
Huo Jinyan was covered in blood—it was impossible to tell if it was Lu Nings or Jiäng Zhe’s.
Shen Yunci stared at him and insisted that he go for a checkup.
Lu Qing was injured when he fought with Jiäng Zhe, though it was not too serious.
When the two of them returned from the checkup, Lu Ning had yet to emerge from the operating theater.
Huo Jinyan sat on a bench near the door and stared at the lights of the operating theater.
Gu Chen, Gu Zi, and the others were also there. They leaned against the wall and kept an eye on the operating theater.
Lu Jingzhi and Lu Ning were pushed out from the operating theater almost at the same time.
The two of them were placed in the same ward.
The wound on Lu Nings back had split open. Aside from the two st.i.tches on her forehead and the fact that her leg was almost broken by Jiäng Zhe, her remaining injuries were minor.
Because Lu Jingzhi’s body was small, the punch he received caused a lot of damage to his body and he needed to recuperate, Additionally, his face was swollen from the slap he received.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi could not help but cry when they saw his face all swollen.
They looked over at him, then at Lu Nings injured leg, then the wound on her forehead. Their tears could not stop streaming down their cheeks.
Lu Bai eventually had the two of them take a seat outside.
He was afraid that the two of them would keep crying if they stayed there.
Huo Jinyan had been waiting by Lu Ning’s side ever since she came out. There were still marks left on her wrists from being bound, and his eyes watered as he looked at her. Afraid of hurting her, he only dared to hold onto her thumb gently, as there were still wounds on her palm from some gla.s.s shards.
There was not a single unhurt spot on her body.
Lu Bai stood at the side and looked at him. He wanted to ask him to rest; Huo Jinyan had not taken any breaks in the two days since Lu Ning went missing, let alone slept.
However, he knew that Huo Jinyan would definitely not listen to him, so he did not say anything. He simply let him sit there and watch over Lu Ning until she woke up; he would feel more at ease that way.
Lu Qing stood by the window and looked at the two young children lying on the beds. One of his arms was wrapped in a sling; his shoulder was dislocated a little because of the pulling, so he needed to rest for a few days.
His gaze fell on Lu Nings face. He did not know where she got the strength to hold on to him for so long.
‘Brother! Don’t!’
Lu Nings hoa.r.s.e voice kept ringing in his mind. This was the first time she had called him ‘Brother’.
However, he knew very well that he did not deserve to be called her brother.
All these years, he had given all his love to another girl. However, after she arrived, not only did he not make up for it, he even scoffed at her. He had suspected her, misunderstood her countless times.
This was no longer something that could be made up for with an apology.
Lu Qing looked down at the sling in front of his chest.
He knew that if it was not for Lu Ning, he would probably be dead by now.
The guilt and sadness in his heart were indescribable, and it was very uncomfortable having those feelings stuck in his throat.
Lu Bai simply watched over his younger siblings quietly without saying anything as he leaned against the wall.
He had not slept for the past few days, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
However, he did not feel at ease not seeing the two of them wake up. So, he simply watched and waited for them to wake up.
When Lin Ci left the police station she headed straight to the hospital. There were two band-aids on her face.
Her body was covered in minor injuries. Aside from inhaling too much smoke, she was otherwise fine. The doctor had instructed her to recuperate and to come to the hospital for a checkup in a while..
