I Will Stay In J Country
The image of Hongyan rushing to him in a sorry state flashed across Adam's mind. His heart twitched violently and he finally deflated as he said bitterly, "Is there really … no other way?"
The doctor saw that the aggressive young man had suddenly deflated, and he couldn't help but say, "Actually, you don't have to be so depressed. If you take good care of yourself, there's still a chance for you to recover. But you definitely can't get injured again."
"… Mm."
Adam responded and then asked, "Then can I go and see her now?"
The doctor nodded. "The operation is over and the patient has been transferred to a normal ward. She's still in a deep sleep. You … should be as gentle as possible. She's very tired, so it's best not to wake her up."
"Got it."
Adam went to Hongyan's ward. Just as the nurse had said, there wasn't a single part of her body that wasn't injured. Now that the operation was over, Hongyan was wrapped up like a mummy.
Adam quietly took a stool and sat beside Hongyan's bed. He crossed his arms and rested his chin on them as he looked at Hongyan who was in a deep sleep. He was still thinking about the previous scene.
"Adam, I'm sorry. I didn't protect Qiao Qiao well …"
She sobbed and apologized to him, even though this matter wasn't her fault.
"Miss Red's condition isn't good. There are large areas of burns all over her body, a comminuted fracture in her arm, and a bullet in her abdomen …"
An Moat's words also echoed in his ears.
Adam lowered his head and suddenly had a thought.
Did he do something wrong?
If he let this girl stay by his side, she would only be hurt more.
Should he … let her go?
…
He Shaochen rushed over the moment he found out that Qiao Qiao was in trouble.
Seeing Qiao Qiao's bandaged face and eyes, he suddenly exploded and pressed Adam against the wall. He questioned sternly, "Didn't you say that you could protect her well? Didn't you say that there would be no problems with this operation? Why would Joe Qiao encounter such a thing? "
Adam had nothing to say this time. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect her well …"
"That's her face! What do you want her to do in the future? What if she could no longer see? What's the use of apologizing? Can you help her recover? "He Shaochen's sharp questions made Adam speechless. In the end, he could only say sorry.
But apart from angering He Shaochen even more, it had no effect.
In the end, Qiao Qiao couldn't take it anymore and said, "He Shaochen, that's enough! What does this have to do with Adam? You have no reason to yell at him! "
He Shaochen turned around, his entire body filled with anger. If Qiao Qiao could see it now, she would see how angry and regretful He Shaochen was right now.
Once again … when she was in danger, he wasn't by her side.
How could he be considered a husband?
"Qiao Qiao, you might be disfigured!"
He Shaochen reminded her, "Even if you're kind, there should be a bottom line. This time, it was because they didn't protect you that you were in danger. You still want to indulge them? This time, it's only disfigurement. Next time, you might even lose your life! "
Qiao Qiao said coldly, "Even if I'm disfigured or lose my life, what does it have to do with you? Whether Adam is in the wrong or not, it's up to me. You have no right to blame him! "
Qiao Qiao's "what does it have to do with you" made He Shaochen freeze.
Why did he abandon everything and rush to J Country during the board meeting?
What does it have to do with you?
Qiao Qiao regretted it the moment she said the truth. Actually, He Shaochen was so angry because he was worried about her. What she said just now was too much. Now that she was blind, she couldn't see He Shaochen and couldn't hear his voice. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Was he hurt by her?
Qiao Qiao wanted to apologize, but the apology seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it.
Time passed by slowly and the air became more and more tense.
Qiao Qiao was still struggling with herself. Should she apologize to He Shaochen?
Finally, she heard the sound of footsteps. The footsteps were slow and heavy as they walked outside. When they couldn't be heard anymore, Adam said slowly, "Lilith, I'm very grateful for your protection of me. But this time, you really went a little overboard."
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but clench her fists. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "What I said is the truth. We're already divorced and now we're strangers. My safety has nothing to do with him!"
"Do you really think so?"
Adam sighed.
Qiao Qiao's heart twitched and she felt terrible. But she said, "Since I said it, I won't go back on my words. Okay, I'm tired."
With that, she covered herself with the blanket and turned around.
Seeing Qiao Qiao's conflicted figure, Adam sighed helplessly. These two people were too proud. Even if they regretted it, they wouldn't say a word. They were clearly in love with each other. Why did they have to torture each other?
Hearing the sound of the door closing softly, Qiao Qiao knew that Adam had left.
She curled up her body and bit her lips tightly. She felt terrible.
She couldn't see anything now. He Shaochen's silence made her heart completely chaotic. At this moment, her mind was filled with how He Shaochen would react. Would he dislike her when he saw her disfigured face?
Yes, although Qiao Qiao looked very calm, which woman could be calm in the face of disfigurement? She just didn't want others to see her weakness.
Tears flowed out. When the salty tears came into contact with the wound, she felt a burning pain. The wound that had been stopped began to bleed again, and the snow-white gauze was dyed red.
Qiao Qiao was surrounded by darkness, making her feel more and more helpless. She could only curl up even tighter, hoping to feel safe.
…
Adam thought that He Shaochen had gone back after being provoked by Qiao Qiao, but he didn't expect to see him outside the ward. He was leaning against the door with his legs crossed, hands in his pockets, and a cigarette in his mouth.
He Shaochen rarely smoked, but every time he smoked, there must be something annoying.
"Lilith is emotionally unstable. Don't mind it too much." Adam said gently, which was rare. "Although she doesn't seem to care, she still doesn't want you to see her at her worst."
Since Qiao Qiao was stubborn, he could only say what was on her mind.
He Shaochen held the cigarette between his fingers and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "I know."
Adam raised an eyebrow.
This man was so upset just now, it didn't seem like he knew.
