Chapter 1527: Sick (2)
When the phone rang, Qi Lei’s car had just pa.s.sed through the traffic port ahead. The second he heard his phone ring, he turned to look and saw two words pop up on his screen, so he swiftly picked up.
“h.e.l.lo, Liuyun?”
“Lan Xiu…can you come over? I’m at the Grand Summer Bay highway intersection…I…I can’t hold on till the hospital anymore…” Dongfang Liuyun only had so much energy to whisper that before her hand fell limp and her phone fell to the ground.
Duu duu—
Before Qi Lei could respond, the busy signal of the phone rang and he immediately tensed up. It seemed that Dongfang Liuyun was not feeling too well!
As he thought about it, his dark eyes squinted and then a darkness flashed through them. He immediately had a bad feeling!
Did she not mention the Grand Summer Bay highway intersection?
Something must have happened!
When he thought about this, Qi Lei could not care about anything else. He narrowed his eyes as he sped up and turned around at the crossing in front…
He practically sped all the way to his destination. It was probably 40 kilometres from where he was, and he only took 20 minutes. Thankfully, there was no traffic jam that night.
At the Grand Summer Bay highway intersection, as Qi Lei drove over, he could see the black Jeep parked on the side underneath the streetlights from afar.
The Grand Summer Bay was considered an area nearer to the suburbs, so there were not many cars that pa.s.sed through this road. At most, there were only one or two cars that whizzed past.
Qi Lei swiftly parked his car and quickly rushed over to the black Jeep. He pulled open the door and indeed saw Dongfang Liuyun leaning against her seat with her eyes tightly shut. Under the dim lights in the car, he could see the paleness and pain on her beautiful face. Her fair forehead was covered in sweat, and her hands that laid on her knees were clenched into tight fists. From a distance, he could feel the coldness that engulfed her being.
Upon seeing that, he could not help but frown. Without a second thought, he quickly leaned over and carried her.
“How are you feeling? Let me send you to the hospital. Hold on a bit more! Hold on!”
When she felt movement, Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously opened her eyes and looked at Qi Lei. Se was obviously slightly shocked, yet she had no energy to say any more, “Why…is it you…?”
She thought she had called Lan Xiu…
“Forget about that first. Does it hurt a lot? We’ll go to the hospital now. Just hold on for a bit.”
When he saw her subconsciously holding onto her belly, he could guess what was wrong. No wonder she was trembling in cold…
Naturally, Dongfang Liuyun did not have much energy to think much. Qi Lei had just put her into the car and buckled her up before she fainted…
…
Two hours later, Dongfang Liuyun was admitted into a suite at the hospital.
While the doctor did a series of checkups for her, and then looked at the medical records on hand as well as the image of her stomach, he had a solemn expression.
Qi Lei took a look at Dongfang Liuyun who laid on the sickbed with an intravenous drip as he asked with a lowered voice, “Doctor, how is she?”
“She’s always had gastritis. In fact, it’s quite severe, and she hasn’t been doing well. Plus the fact that she did have injuries near her stomach, there were some signs of inflammation. That’s why it hurt even more. It’s a good thing that she’s always been taking her medicine. Otherwise, it would’ve turned out worse. Also, she’s probably been overstretching herself from work, hence she’s quite weak now. If she isn’t more careful, there will be severe consequences, and she might even need to cut out a part of the stomach if there are changes to this illness.”
When he heard the doctor, Qi Lei’s brows that had just relaxed furrowed once again. “How could that be?”
She did not seem like someone who was ill at all.
“The situation is quite bad, so she needs to be hospitalized for a few days of observation. Her wound can’t be inflamed again. From now on, it’s best to quit alcohol and avoid spicy food, and after a few months of recuperation, she should be able to recover slowly. However, the injury at her stomach is still there, and with gastritis, it’s normal for it to hurt from time to time. There’s no need to worry too much. Just remind her to take her meds on time. You may handle the hospitalization procedures first.”
The doctor briefly explained some important things to take note of before he left.
Dongfang Liuyun, who lay on the sickbed, was still knocked out.
Qi Lei looked at her quietly for a while, and then finally he sighed to himself and took out his phone to give Yang Sheng a call. He told him to arrange for a few people to come over.
After he hung up, he thought about it, then pulled out the chair by the bed and sat down.
Naturally, he was not quite used to seeing her this vulnerable, in Qi Lei’s impression, Dongfang Liuyun had always been a strong G.o.ddess. He caught on a lot of energy from her that he did not have within him, but now…
He did not expect someone like her to topple too.
When he saw the doctor’s expression, he figured that the wound should be quite serious.
“What kind of person are you? I’ve never met a woman like you. You’re so hard to grasp…” Qi Lei silently watched that elegant complexion of hers, and softly said before he pulled her blanket over her. Then, he switched off the bright light by the bedside table and left the wall lamp switched on.
Even when Dongfang Liuyun was unconscious, she did not sleep particularly well. Her brows remained furrowed into a knot, and layers of cold sweat gathered on her forehead as if she was struggling against something. She also clenched onto a corner of her blanket tightly, yet her pale lips remained tightly shut.
“Liuyun…what’s wrong? Liuyun…”
Qi Lei naturally felt that something was not right, so he quickly got up. Unexpectedly, her cold fingers locked onto his wrist tightly as if she was holding on for dear life and it felt like she could practically break his wrist!
“Liuyun, wake up! Wake up! Doctor, doctor, quickly come and take a look at her! Doctor!” Qi Lei’s heart clenched as he quickly pressed on the b.u.t.ton by the bed and shouted.
When he finished, the doctor rushed in…
The medical staff got busy for a while and increased the dosage of tranquilizer for her before she recovered.
“Don’t worry, President Qi. The patient’s not too emotionally stable, but she’ll be fine in a bit. She’s fallen asleep for now. She should wake up in six hours. If anything else happens, call us again.”
Qi Lei nodded and waved them away though his heart had clenched up.
…
Yang Sheng had rushed over in the quickest of time with two bodyguards. They quickly handled the procedures as Qi Lei had asked them to before rus.h.i.+ng over to the ward, and when they stood at the door they could see Qi Lei by the bed inside…
