Chapter 868: He Always Knew That She Loved Him
The beautiful girl was a medic in the army. She’d already seen one of the attacks before, but every time she watched, her hands and feet still turned ice cold, and tears flowed down her face. As a doctor, she was unable to imagine what Zhou Yao was feeling right now.
The moment he was struck with the attack, it was just as if he was going through h.e.l.l on earth.
She quickly took her phone out and dialled a number.
The ambulance came over very quickly. A few doctors carried Zhou Yao up onto the stretcher and brought him inside the ambulance.
The beautiful girl put on a pair of white gloves and took out a thin needle. She saw a grim expression on Zhou Yao’s face. His eyes lost focus. She shed tears as she said, “Major General, I will give you an anaesthetic shot right now. I am just afraid that you will develop a reliance on this kind of anaesthetic in the future, so the dose is small. You still have to bear with the pain.”
She pushed the thin needle into Zhou Yao’s elbow.
This kind of anaesthetic could reduce his pain by half. This needle went in and made Zhou Yao calm down a lot, but the veins on his forehead, neck, and arms were still popping out. As she looked at him, she knew that he was in great pain.
But his character was strong and stubborn, this pain that was cut into half was within his tolerance, his black irises slowly had its focus in them again, and he closed his eyes that had heavy eye bags underneath them.
The beautiful girl took a warm damp towel over. She helped Zhou Yao wipe the blood on his nose away. The t-s.h.i.+rt he was wearing had a few holes in it, and his wounds that were scratched by him were b.l.o.o.d.y and could be seen from the holes.
Old and new wounds together with one another.
In the past five days, he stayed in the base for the entire time. During this period, the attacks came twice, and as they came they got worse. This was already the third time.
The beautiful girl turned her gaze away. Her hands were trembling as she helped Zhou Yao change his clothes.
Zhou Yao was lying down on the stretcher, raised his head up, and stopped her.
“Major General, we have to treat these b.l.o.o.d.y wounds on your body. If not, they will get infected.”
Zhou Yao’s lips were dry. He did not say anything, but he merely turned his head over to the side to look at the mirror by his side, and he opened his eyes.
The man in the mirror had wounds from head to toe. His pale face had a green sickly tinge to it. His green popping veins made his entire being look extremely scary, and it was just as if he escaped from jail.
Right now, he was not handsome and suave at all.
The beautiful girl saw him in this state, and she was unable to take it for long. She stood up and ducked at one side as she wiped her tears away.
Even a subordinate was behaving this way. If, if…she saw it, how would she react?
Zhou Yao did not dare to think about it.
She had a miscarriage more than one month ago, and at that time, she lay down on the white hospital bed. He felt that his heart was cut a thousand times. He hated that he could not take her suffering. She was the one in pain, but his heart was aching for her.
He knew that she would also feel the same.
In the past five days, his sickness did not improve. The medical team was still researching the virus in his body but was unable to find anything, and with the occurrence of the attacks every two days, he knew that he did not have much time left.
If this was the end, then he did not want her to know.
Why would he make her suffer together with him?
Actually, when she hugged him and said those soft words, he was very moved. She was always like a tiny wild cat. She was very hard to tame. After she got together with him, she was unable to let go of things. She would duck and hide underneath his body. Although things were intense, she would be like a begonia flower as she bloomed and blossomed. It made him feel captivated, but she had never said those words to him before.
Fight by his side…
She did not want to be separated from him.
And even that last sentence, although he did not let her finish speaking, he knew. He always knew that she loved him.
She loved him…
Zhou Yao tugged on the corners of his lips before slowly closing his eyes. Before her, he did not love anyone else before. The first time, he was troubled when he loved someone. He did not know how to love her deeply.
And now that he knew how, the best love that he could give her was to let go.
He did not want to let her be sad because of him. Without him, he hoped that she could have a better life.
Even if he really did not bear to do so…!
At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan and Leng Hao walked out of the bar. Leng Hao had a bad expression on his face as he said, “Zhiyuan, you stand here and wait for me. I will go and get the car.”
“Okay.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head.
Leng Hao walked over to the street on the opposite side.
Leng Zhiyuan looked at the back profile of her older brother. Her mind was completely blank, and at this moment, a white ambulance came into her line of vision, and it dashed off into the distance before her eyes.
She was in a blur as she watched the ambulance disappear in the distance, and she did not move at all.
Ding! Suddenly, the sound of a horn rang out in the air. Leng Hao drove the car over. He followed the direction that Leng Zhiyuan was looking in and had a glance. The ambulance was making a turn before it was gone from sight. He asked, “Zhiyuan, what are you looking at?”
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head and got inside the car. “Nothing much.”
She did not see anything at all.
It was only when the ambulance drove past her that she felt that her heart was pulled away by a large hand, and it was just as if there was something very important to her inside the ambulance.
…
On the base, in the medical room
Zhou Yao lay down on the bed. Xiao Zhi was on guard by the side of the bed. A senior military medic sighed out loud before he said, “Major General, your illness is getting more and more serious now. The progress that our team is making is very slow. We are not getting anywhere. Major General, I suggest that we report this up to the top, and you need the best kind and the most advanced kind of medical care.”
“That’s right, Major General,” Xiao Zhi said quickly, and he continued, “Your sickness has already been hidden from the top for a few days. In the past few days, I applied for leave for you, but paper is unable to hide fire inside. Upper manageent will find out sooner or later.”
“That won’t do!” Zhou Yao rejected their plans immediately.
“Major General!”
Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Zhi with a fierce gaze and stopped him. Xiao Zhi lowered his head. Zhou Yao looked over at the senior military medic and said, “Keep my illness a secret. I do not wish for any rumours to go out.”
The senior medic only nodded his head and said, “Yes, Major General.”
The senior medic walked out.
There was only Zhou Yao and Xiao Zhi left inside the room. Xiao Zhi boldly continued, “Major General, I know the reason why you want to hide your illness. The only possible place that you could have gotten poisoned by this kind of poison is on Bin Jiang Island. It…it’s directly related to Older Sister-in-law’s father. If you report this illness to the upper management, the people on top will definitely launch investigations immediately, and when that time comes, Older Sister-in-law’s family will be dragged into this case. You only think about Older Sister-in-law, but we cannot give up our lives for this…”
“Are you done talking?” Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side to glance at Xiao Zhi and said, “You’d better guard your own mouth well. If not, what happened to Ah Dong yesterday will happen to you tomorrow!”
“Major General!” Xiao Zhi was shocked, and he did not dare to speak anymore.
Whatever Major General decided on, he would not change his decision. He looked on as Major General and Older Sister-in-law had fate with one another and got married. In his heart, he liked and respected Leng Zhiyuan very much. This sister-in-law of his, he knew that Major General loved her deeply.
A few days ago, when Older sister in law came over to the base, Major General was standing in the CCTV room to watch. Major General was silent for a long time. He even saw Major General stretching his hand out to touch Older Sister-in-law’s face on the screen.
Both he and the doctor did not agree to Major General going out, but Major General was insistent. He also brought a beautiful girl out from the medical team, and he had a rough guess about what Major General was going to do. Major General wanted Older Sister-in-law to give up on him.
