Translator: Henvee Translations Editor: Henvce Translations
As long as Huo Yichen was around, he would never be able to stand out.
Huo Xiuyuan suddenly remembered rhe time when Huo Hong’s son died. That was when Huo Hong treated him the best. The attention he received was so much that he thought he was dreaming.
Huo Xiuyuan1 s angry heart suddenly calmed down because he had thought of a good idea.
Since Huo Hong liked Huo Yichen so much, as long as he killed him, no one would s.n.a.t.c.h him away.
Huo Xiuyuan relaxed his brows and suddenly laughed softly. His laughter was deep and unpleasant.
On the same night, Huo Yichen was about to return to his dormitory after finishing his studies in the library when he received a text message.
“Young Master, the family head wants you to go home.”
After reading the message, Huo Yichen pondered for a moment before changing his schedule ar the last minute and driving home.
Huo Yichen couldn’t figure out what Huo Hong was thinking, but he didn’t intend to resist him. Now was not the time to show his fangs.
He turned the steering wheel and drove down the familiar road towards the Huo family.
The visibility of the road in the middle of the night was very low. Huo Yichen wondered what the message was about as he waited for the traffic light to turn green.
When the red light turned green, Huo Yichen turned right and sped up. Suddenly, he heard an ear-piercing horn.
His mind was on the news, and he was a second slower before he noticed the honking sound that seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
“Be careful!!” a man shouted.
There was a flash of white light in his eyes, and he saw a large truck rushing towards him as if it had lost control. It was too late for Huo Yichen to dodge.
The black car collided with the out-of-control truck. The car was almost sent flying and rolled to the side of the road. There was a huge dent in the front of the car. From the depth, it was almost possible to hit the driver inside.
“Somebody call an ambulance!”
“Quick, quick, quick! This person seems to still be alive!!”
“Give me a hand! What are you waiting for?! ”
Huo Yichen’s ears rang with an uncomfortable buzz. His consciousness was blurry, and he felt nauseous. His internal organs had shifted, and his eyes barely opened a crack. However, the blood that flowed out covered his eyes, and the entire world turned red.
The blinding light of the ambulance was the last thing he remembered.
This was destined to be a sleepless night for many.
It was midnight, but Muro ng Qiao went about her usual schedule and sat at the table without going to sleep.
“Qiaoqiao… aren’t you sleepy? You still have cla.s.s tomorrow,” YangXin rubbed her eyes and reminded her.
Usually, Murong Qiao was the first to sleep in the dormitory, but today, Leng Yan had already slept for two hours and yet she was still awake.
Murong Qiao stared at the cell phone. “Go to sleep first. I’m not tired.”
There was no light on at night, only a small lamp on Murong Qiao’s table, so Yang Xin only saw Murong Qiao’s back and didn’t notice her worried expression.
“Alright, alright. Then you should sleep early too.” Yang Xin didn’t notice anything wrong and said good night.
But Murong Qiao wasn’t tired. She couldn’t sleep at all.
If her gaze could materialize, her cell phone would have been pierced through by Murong Qiao’s burning gaze.
She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She was obviously not unhappy, but she was more worried.
In the past, no matter how late Huo Yichen was, he would always send her a message to say goodnight. It was never past midnight.
But today…
Murong Qiao frowned and glanced at her cell phone. It was twelve and twenty-three. She had waited for almost three hours.
Could something have happened to him?
After so long, Murong Qiao couldn’t sit still. She took her phone and went to the balcony, planning to call Huo Yichen to ask what was going on.
The first time, she couldn’t take it.
Murong Qiao’s frown deepened, and the worry in her heart became heavier. She took a deep breath and made a second call.
This time, she picked up, but the voice wasn’t Huo Yichen’s. “h.e.l.lo?”
It was a rough man’s voice. Murong Qiao’s eyebrows twitched and she felt that something was wrong.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m looking for Huo Yichen,” she said.
The voice on the other end was noisy. “Huo what? I can’t hear ”
Before Murong Qiao could repeat himself, the person on the other end continued.
“The owner of the cell phone got into a car accident. Are you his friend?” the person on the other end asked.
Car accident…?
Murong Qiao’s mind went blank. “What, what do you mean?”
The man who answered the call was one of the pa.s.sers-by who had gathered around the scene of the car accident. After helping the crowd drag Huo Yichen out of the car, he happened to hear the phone ring. Thinking that it might be the family of Huo Yichen, he picked up.
“… That young man has already been sent to the hospital. You…” The man’s rough voice echoed in Murong Qiao’s ears.
However, she could not be bothered to listen. Her body reacted faster than her brain and she instinctively moved.
Murong Qiao changed her shoes and ran downstairs, only to realize that the dormitory door was locked. Only then did she remember that it was already past the access time.
“Auntie! Auntie!” She knocked hard on the dormitory auntie’s door.
The auntie was woken up by her. She opened the door with a frown and realized that it was Murong Qiao.
She remembered that this girl was good in her studies and pretty. She was quite likable, so her frustration from being woken up had subsided a lot.
“Auntie, something happened to my boyfriend. I want to go to the hospital to see him.” Murong Qiao’s face was pale as she spoke quickly. “Please open the door and let me out. I…”
Her words were a little incoherent but fortunately, the auntie understood what she meant.
The auntie didn’t follow the rules to the death as she felt that Murong Qiao didn’t seem like the kind of girl who would fool around late at night. Something big must have happened.
“Okay.” The auntie nodded and went back to get the key to open the door.
Murong Qiao left the female dormitory as she wished.
Her ears were filled with the sound of the wind, causing her face to hurt.
She kept running from the dormitory to the school gate before taking a taxi to the hospital.
Fifteen minutes later, Murong Qiao appeared at the central hospital. This was the address that rhe person had told her just now.
“The young man has just been sent in. He should have gone to the operating theater on the third floor.11 The man who answered the phone was waiting for her at the door.
Murong Qiao didn’t say much and gave him a sum of money. “Thank you.”
She could not wait for the elevator. She climbed the stairs to the third floor and saw the usual lights of the operating theater. He must have already been pushed in as there was no one in the empty corridor.
“Huff… huff…” Murong Qiao leaned against the wall and panted.
It was as if there was a fire in her lungs. It burned her until her breathing hurt. There was even a hint of blood. It was so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit.
But before Murong Qiao could rest, she heard footsteps approaching.
She looked up and made eye contact with Murong Zheng, who was wearing a white coat.
In an instant, the two of them understood why they were here.
Murong Qiao pounced on him without thinking. “Brother! You must, you must do your best to save him.”
Her words were a little weak, and her trembling voice sounded so nervous in Murong Zheng’s ears that it was about to explode.
Seeing the anxiety and worry on his Little Sister’s face) Murong Zheng’s eyes darkened.
“Okay.” He nodded.
Resuscitation time was precious. After rhe two of them said this, Murong Zheng walked into the operating theater.
Murong Qiao, on the other hand, sat on the chair outside and waited for the results.
She clasped her hands together helplessly as she had yet to recover from her shock.
“How did he get involved in a car accident…” Murong Qiao muttered to herself.
She didn’t expect to hear such an outcome from her call.
Huo Yichen was lying in the operating theater now. Murong Qiao couldn’t help but think of the b.l.o.o.d.y scene. The warm-hearted man had briefly described the car accident to her just now. Just hearing it made Murong Qiao feel shocked.
Her hands were shaking, just like her unstable heart at this moment, which made Murong Qiao’s mood heavy.
Her thoughts were in a mess. The only thing she could think of was to pray that nothing would happen to Huo Yichen and that he could come out of the operating theater safely.
Murong Qiao’s hands and feet were cold as she looked at the bright light above the operating theater without blinking.
She did not dare to move away, nor did she dare to imagine the terrible possibility.
She didn’t want to lose Huo Yichen..
