Chapter 944: Chapter 944 He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (4)
Ruan Jiaojiao’s fever was nearly forty degrees Celsius. Not only was her face flushed, but her entire body felt terribly hot.
Yet her consciousness remained clear, and seeing the deep worry in the adults’ eyes, she even found the strength to comfort them, leaving Doctor Yuan quite impressed.
First, they removed the gauze from her hand, treated the wound anew, and disinfected it, which for Ruan Jiaojiao was undoubtedly an excruciating process.
Especially since there was some white viscous substance in the wound that needed scraping off. Held in Ruan Jianguo’s arms during the procedure, she twisted in pain, unable to hold back her cries despite her best efforts, crying out loud.
The pain was just too much.
The eyes of both Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao were filled with tears, and Ruan Jianguo’s eyes were bloodshot red as well.
Her cries resounded through the entire ward, and even throughout the hospital, causing the nurses on duty to tear up, unable to bear watching.
Meanwhile, Xiu Xi, thousands of miles away, seemed to sense something and suddenly sat up from the ground, clutching his aching chest and gasping for air.
It was now around three or four in the morning.
The entire Duan Family was engulfed in silence. In such quiet conditions, the sound of the door opening was particularly loud.
Duan Xin was sleeping soundly when the sudden noise of the door startled him. Instinctively looking towards the door, he met Xiu Xi’s eerie green eyes in the darkness, nearly scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, having grown up seeing Duan Qianyang, he was somewhat accustomed to it. He calmed his racing heart, took a deep breath, and then asked Xiu Xi, "What...what are you doing?"
Xiu Xi looked at him coldly, the pain in his chest had not yet subsided.
He stepped forward and said coldly, "Take me to the hospital."
"To the hospital? What for?" Duan Xin, puzzled, as the winter night was exceptionally cold, pulled the blanket up.
"I must leave now."
"Leave? To go back?"
Xiu Xi nodded, his original intention had been to settle matters with the Duan Family before returning, but now he could not wait. He felt that she was in danger; the Ruan Family couldn’t protect her.
"At this hour?"
Xiu Xi nodded again.
Duan Xin was silent.
After a while, he got up from the bed, and while dressing, he said, "I really owe you one!"
Duan Xin took Xiu Xi to the hospital overnight to meet Duan Qianyang. Duan Qianyang had not seen Xiu Xi before. After bringing him to the hospital, Duan Xin did not go in. The hospital had excellent soundproofing, so he had no idea what was being discussed inside.
When the elder Mr. Duan hurried to the hospital in the morning, Duan Xin was dozing on a bench at the entrance of the ward. The sound of hurried footsteps startled him, and he quickly raised his head, wide awake.
The first thing he saw was the elder Mr. Duan’s face, furious, "Who allowed you to bring him to see your great uncle!"
The elder Mr. Duan scolded, without his usual calm demeanor. Duan Xin, somewhat afraid of this version of the elder Mr. Duan, didn’t know how to respond just then, when he heard Duan Qianyang’s voice from inside the ward.
Elder Mr. Duan rushed to open the door, and Duan Xin, standing by the door, looked inside, but didn’t see Xiu Xi. His eyes widened in surprise. Could it be that Xiu Xi had left while he was asleep?
Duan Qianyang was leaning on the bed, looking fairly spirited. He calmly turned his gaze to the doorway at his grandnephew, and sincerely said, "Xiaoxin, thank you. It’s getting late, you should go to school now."
Duan Xin glanced at the elder Mr. Duan, seeing no objection from him, quickly turned around and ran.
