25 Chapter 25- His Heartbeat... (2/2)

”I'm upstairs...”

”Huh?? What? When did you come home? Sweetheart? Hello?”

Nana wanted to respond, but it was too painful. Shi Xue turned off the stove and ran up to Nana's room. ”Nana!! What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?”

”Mommy.. don't move me.. it hurts..”

”Where does it hurt? Tummy? legs? Your-” Shi Xue narrowed her eyes in fury, ”Why is your hand all red and bruised? How did you get this injury? Where else are you hurt? Don't worry, mommy will call Chen Mu right now. He will be here soon. Let mommy help you lay in bed okay?”

Nana shook her head, ”My back is injured. I can't..it hurts.”

Shi Xue quickly called Chen Mu, ”I'm sorry for bothering you, but you need to come to me immediately. Nana is injured badly and she can't move. She's crying and I'm afraid she might collapse anytime. Please come right now.”

After calling Chen Mu, she called Zhi Hei, ”Come home right now. Nana is hurt. Chen Mu is on his way.”

”Got it.” Zhi Hei quickly drove home from his company and rushed into Nana's room. The first thing he noticed was Nana's awfully bruised hand. It was mixed with red, blue, purple, and unpleasant colors. Chen Mu was examining her back and was extremely cautious of where he was touching. Zhi Hei quietly wiped Nana's tears and whispered, ”Daddy and mommy is here. Don't be afraid. Whoever did this to you will pay..10 times more than what you're suffering.”

Chen Mu: ”We need to get her to the hospital and perform some scans on her body. Even though these look like very serious injuries, her back is better than it looks. I want to make sure she isn't fractured or anything.”

Zhi Hei: ”Okay. Come, sweetheart, daddy will carry you okay? Let me know if the position hurts you. ”

When he tried to carry her in princess style, she groaned painfully. After careful adjustments, Zhi Hei was piggy backing her to the car. When they reached the entrance, Zhen Qi, Jiang Wei, and Ke Shen (3rd son) came back from school.

All three of them ran to Nana.

Zhi Hei: ”I need to drive. Zhen Qi or Jiang Wei, one of you carry her on your back while I get the car. She's injured so don't touch her back or hand. We don't know where else she may be injured.”

Zhen Qi quickly bent down, ”I'll carry her.”

Jiang Wei and Shi Xue carefully positioned Nana on Zhen Qi's back. Nana opened her eyes slightly and slowly lost consciousness, 'He's so warm.. and comfortable.'

When Nana woke up, she saw Zhen Qi holding her uninjured hand and wiping her face gently with a wet towel.

”You're awake?” he whispered.

She stared at him for a bit before nodding.

”Your parents and brothers just fell asleep. Are you feeling any pain? Do you want water?”

Nana's eyes swelled up and tears dripped down her pale face.

”It's alright. You're safe now. We're all here. nobody can harm you. Those who injured you will not get away.Lucky your injuries aren't too serious. You didn't have any fractures on your back or hand. When you were hit, one of the strikes hit your spine that's why you were in extreme pain and couldn't move. Treatments were done and you'll be good as new soon.” he gently brushed her hair and calmed her down.

”Warm...”

”hmm? did you say something?”

She shook her head, ”Can I get water?”

”I'll get it for you. Stay here and don't move.”

After Zhen Qi left the room, she smiled slightly, ”When you were carrying me earlier, I heard your heartbeat even though I was unconscious. It was beating so fast that it sounded like it will explode. Oddly, your heartbeat soothed my pain a little and relaxed me.”
