Chapter 4 - Surgery (2/2)

Although the surgery was not taking longer than what one would expect, the time was moving at a snail's pace, and Xie Jingyu was so uncomfortable that he did not know what to do.

When the lamp shut off, he quickly went to the door, where the doctors were wheeling out a bed, on which a beautiful but immensely pale beauty was lying in a hospital gown.

She was like an ethereal beauty, but now was not the time to focus on her appearance. He lifted his head and looked at the doctor in charge.

”How was the surgery?” he asked, his mellow voice pleasant to the ear, and the doctor, who knew of his identity, quickly answered.

”She is fine; her body is very healthy. It is just that the bullet took her by surprise, and she had no time to protect herself. However, her entire body is marred with old wounds and scars.”

The doctor looked at Xie Jingyu, and when he saw the worry in the other's eyes, he could not help but ask, ”Is she in a violent relationship? Or is there any domestic violence? She really needs to be more careful with her body; although these wounds are mainly superficial, it will become too late if something truly went wrong.”

It was at that moment Xie Jingyu felt as if someone had douched his heart in ice cold water. He felt uncomfortable and restless. Was she in a relationship already? Was it a violent one, as the doctor said?

He had seen some cuts and bruises on her face, but he had assumed they had come when she collapsed on the ground from being shot, now it seemed that was not the case.

How could anyone bring themselves to harm such a beautiful woman?!

”I will protect her from now on,” Xie Jingyu promised the doctor, and he also made the promise to himself. He was not going to let her get wounded any longer.

He did not understand where these emotions came from, he had never felt like this before, but it was as if he had known her for a long time, and the comfortable feeling of being with her was one he had not experienced since he was younger.

Sighing, he followed behind into the VIP ward, where he saw she was like sleeping beauty. She was lying on the bed, not moving a muscle, and waiting to wake up.

A nurse was present to keep an eye on her and ensure that there were no problems when she woke up, but the nurse was much busier throwing glances at Xie Jingyu than observing Yu Huiyin.

Frowning, Xie Jingyu was annoyed, but he said nothing. All he did was to walk to Yu Huiyin's side and brush his fingers over the back of her hand..
