Chapter 1308: Weak
Lei Xiao and Chen Ming looked at the entrance in unison.
The door opened and they could see the hospital president pushing the hospital bed out from the emergency room personally. The bed was covered with a white blanket.
When Chen Ming saw the white blanket, he stared at it deeply and his eyes instantly turned red.
Impossible. How could Young Master Yulin die?
Everything before him seemed surreal.
Chen Ming stood where he was clenching his fists so tightly that blood nearly oozed from them.
Lei Xiao felt equally heavy-hearted. Even though he saw this coming, he could not help feeling bad when he saw the hospital bed coming out of the emergency room. He veered his eyes and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.
When the hospital president got closer, he said hoarsely in a soft tone, “Please accept my condolences.”
Chen Ming’s lips twitched the moment he heard what Lei Xiao said. He felt sapped and staggered by a step.
He could not believe what he was seeing either, but he could tell from the look on the hospital president’s face that it was true.
Lei Xiao smiled sadly. He looked at Chen Ming and said apologetically, “I wish it did not happen. My deepest condolences.”
The hospital president finally knew what they thought when he heard what they said. He raised his head and looked at Lei Xiao. “He’s still alive and kicking. Why are you offering your condolences?”
The moment he finished his sentence, Lei Xiao was astonished. Chen Ming also thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
The two of them stood frozen, without moving for some time.
The hospital president glanced at them before pushing the patient to the hospital ward.
.....
Chen Ming finally snapped out of his shock a minute later. Chen Ming turned to look at the hospital president from behind as he transferred the bed into the room. “Did he just say the patient is fine? Or are my ears playing tricks on me?”
“I… I heard him say the same thing,” stammered Lei Xiao.
Chen Ming went speechless.
“I just knew that Young Master Yulin would be fine with Miss Huo around.”
Chen Ming beamed brightly as he happily caught up with the hospital president.
Lei Xiao opened his mouth wanting to say something, but he was unable to speak.
He could not help thinking about the scene when they first arrived at the hospital. The patient clearly had a flat line, but he was now alive. Did the patient simply go into shock temporarily from blood loss?
Lei Xiao shook his head as he pondered. Since he had no answers, he decided to stop thinking about it. He was relieved that the patient had survived.
Meanwhile, Huo Yao walked out of the emergency room after resting for a few minutes.
Her face was pale and she looked tired. Even though Huo Yulin was the patient and badly injured, she looked more unwell than him.
When Lei Xiao turned to look at her, he was startled by how bad she looked. He hurriedly asked her. “Are you alright?”
Huo Yao simply shook her head. She had used all the energy in her to apply the acupuncture needles. She was so tired that she had trouble speaking and even her legs felt shaky. She might pass out anytime.
Lei Xiao detected something amiss with her, so he quickly extended his hand to support her and helped her to a bench nearby.
After helping her take a seat, he squatted beside Huo Yao and looked at her. “Are you really alright?”
Huo Yao leaned against the seat backrest. “Let me get some rest.”
Her voice was very hoarse, almost a whisper.
Lei Xiao hurriedly acknowledged her before he stood up and waited by the side.
As he stood quietly, he kept observing Huo Yao’s condition.
Even though he was very curious about what she had done in the emergency room, now was not the time to ask.
