Chapter 1694: It hurts; I… am hurting a lot…
If he rushed upstairs now, the doctor should already be in the presidential suite waiting for them.
Ji Ziming remained silent, and his somberness made the head of the staff understand that this matter was a serious matter. Even he could not believe that this man was the same boss that he knew in the past. The way he protected Pei Ge made him very shocked.
Everyone said that his boss was a crazy person who would torture his wife, but it seemed that those rumors were baseless and they were the opposite of the truth, in fact. How could this man be capable of hurting his wife? He was clearly a crazy wife-protector.
He noted how his boss gazed at his wife with such heartache and he felt his heart warming. This man was the real CEO Ji. It was precisely this that he was even more in awe of everything his boss had done and would do, including those for his wife’s company.
“Sir, what should we do now? The big boss left without giving instructions on how we should deal with guests.”
In a black suit and white s.h.i.+rt, a subordinate following the head of the staff watched the elevator doors close, then revealed the question in his heart. The big boss was gone, so how should small fries like them take care of all the guests in the grand banquet hall? With their big boss personally hosting this event, it just went to show how important the guests present were.
It was a gathering of almost all the socialites and influential figures from all over the capital.
Ji Ziming’s appearance just then had already created a wave of hubbub in the hall, and his sudden departure at this point had had a similar effect. Those who were in the know knew that there was a problem with Pei Ge’s health, while those who were not thought that the man had found the business partner he had been looking for.
“Bring forward the second stage. It’s not the first time that the big boss performed such a mindless thing. If they are not here to talk about cooperation with the boss, then it does not matter if they leave. Go ask the music director to turn on all the sound systems. Also, serve half the good wine supposed to be reserved for the finale of this gathering. When I get the mood going on stage later, you guys will know what to do.”
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves as though he were about to perform a huge feat onstage. This made his direct subordinates, who were behind him, totally stunned. Since when had their boss become this suave?
“Hurry and get to work; why are you all just looking at me?”
Seeing the heart eyes of one of his employees, he could not help but mumble to himself, Why is this chap giving me a puppy look? Does he have something to request of me?
“Yes, sir! I will go ask the music director to turn on the sound system now.”
That subordinate promptly rushed off under the head of the staff’s gaze. He ran quickly to the back of the dance floor where the music controllers were located.
At the same time, Ji Ziming was carrying Pei Ge into the presidential suite. The personnel at the door sensibly opened it for the couple when they saw him walk over. The moment the man entered the room with the woman, they hurriedly closed it.
In the Ji family’s hotel, other than safety being the first, the guests’ privacy was also given much importance. The security at any hotels of the Jis could hold a candle to the security in the most expensive hotels internationally.
“Ge Ge, open your eyes and look at me. I am Ziming.”
He carefully placed the woman on the bed and could hear her faint hiss of pain. The soft whimper was so piercing to the ears in this silent room, and it even echoed slightly.
“Painful… It hurts so much…”
Her voice was very soft. She opened her eyes slightly to look at him and said in a weak voice.
“Ziming, I’m… hurting…”
Her beautiful, doe eyes were filled with tears. The wound on her back was slowly tearing apart, as though it were a long and huge vine. The excruciating pain filled her entire senses.
“I know. Don’t be afraid. The doctor will be here soon.”
He held her hand tightly. Her fair-skinned fingers were being squeezed so tightly that they had turned red by then, but the heat from them made him unable to ignore the fact that she was in agony and fighting a painful battle. What should he do to take care of the woman he loved the most? What should he do to capture the one behind this?
Even if that person died as penance, it was still insufficient to a.s.suage the suffering in his heart.
Watching the woman he loved be in such distress and agony, he would rather he be the one suffering.
“I-It hurts a lot… Don’t… Don’t touch me…”
He tried to take off her clothes, but just as he touched her skin, she weakly pushed him away. All her skin and nerves had become very sensitive. It was clearly a very soft blanket, but it currently felt like a p.r.i.c.kly needle. It left her body with fiery hot pain.
She could not move at all. Although she was burning up, she felt a strong chill in her body. What could she do now? To let him know how bad she felt?
“Just bear with it for a bit. I’ll help you take off your clothes. You can’t wear these anymore.”
He raised his hand up, only to find that it was totally stained in blood. The redness was like a big poster as it enlarged in his eyes, causing even them to become dyed in red.
“Ge Ge…”
His voice became more bitter and hateful. Who was it?! Who the h.e.l.l was the person behind this?! To make my woman suffer so much—who in the world was that person?!
“It hurts… I… I’m in so much pain…”
Her words were breaking. She was weak and feeble as she lay in bed lifelessly.
Her ghastly and pale face hurt Ji Ziming’s eyes. The woman he loved was currently lying in bed with her evening gown soaked in blood. The blood flowing out of her was akin to life seeping out right now.
The later the doctor came was a step closer to the possibility of her leaving his side forever.
Seeing her like this, bloodthirst and ruthlessness exploded out of him. Just as he reached the door, he heard it being opened. A doctor in a white uniform and a nurse in a pink attire were sweating buckets as they panted from rus.h.i.+ng over here. The little nurse even almost hit his chest from her hurry, but the man merely moved to the left to let her in.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry, sir! We’ve arrived late.”
The doctor knew that he was in trouble; hence, after apologizing, he hurriedly went over to the big bed. When he saw the pinkish-white bed sheet stained with a layer of blood, he exclaimed mayhem inside.
“Hurry and check what is wrong with your madam. If you can’t treat her, I will not let you leave this room today. If you can, then you will serve her in the future.”
