Chapter 185 - Unexpected Saviors (2/2)

She couldn't think of a reason why her father was there in the first place? Also, did he know that something was going to happen to her? And if yes, then how did he know? Apart from all that, why did he took that bullet for her?

There were so many questions in her heart but there was no one to answer her. Because the only person who had all the answers was laying in her arms with irregular breaths. With each passing second, Xu Cheng's breathing was getting shallow and Xu Mey's heart was drumming against her chest abnormally.

No matter how much she said that she hates her dad, they were still blood-related. And no matter what, for a daughter, her father always stays the most important man even if he never did anything for her.

She didn't realize that tears were staining her face and she didn't care for anything else at the moment anyway.

When Ru walked back inside, she saw how Xu Mey was hugging her father while crying with her shoulders trembling. She squatted near Xu Cheng's body, held his wrist and took his pulse.

After that, she got up silently and said, "He's still okay. Let's take him to the hospital. The bullet didn't injure any vital points."

Xu Mey silently listened to Ru and tried to support her father's body but with her own panicking state, she couldn't manage to help him up. "Useless," Ru grumbled and held Xu Cheng's body with his arm slung over her shoulder, she brought him out.

Xu Mey opened the door of her car and Ru placed his fainted body inside. Xu Mey was about to sit in the driver seat when Ru held her wrist saying, "I still plan on living. Let me drive."

The words were harsh but true.

Xu Mey couldn't argue since her mental state didn't allow her to drive the car sensibly. She sat in the back seat holding her father's head.

Ru drove the car silently but Xu Mey couldn't help asking, "Sensei, how are you here?"

Ru snickered. "You should be glad that I was here. Otherwise, you'd have gotten yourself killed because of your dumb mind."

As always, Ru didn't hold back with her honest words. And Xu Mey was aware of her own mistake. She lowered her head in guilt. "What? After everything that you went through? You still came alone?" Ru asked with disbelief.

"I thought no matter what, she won't try to kill me." Xu Mey muttered wiping the beads of sweat of her father's face. She could expect everything from Xu Liqing but she still had a hope that Xu Liqing was her sister and she won't try to kill her. Today, Xu Liqing broke the last thread of the relationship that they held.
