Chapter 85 - Shen Xinglan, Donst Die! (1/2)
The emergency room door was tightly closed and Shen Xinglan had been inside for three hours. A Miao sat blankly in the chair. Next to her was Ding V with the same blank expression.
”Miss...” Shen I handed her a bottle of water, ”have a drink.”
A Miao shook her head while staring at the operating room lights without focus.
”Shen I, I'm sorry.” She covered her face and sobbed through her fingers. She endured it at first, then cried more and more loudly. Finally, she threw herself at the door of the operating room as if she tore her heart out.
”Shen Xinglan, come out! I was wrong, I was wrong!” A Miao slapped the door hard. ”As long as you come out, you can make me do anything. You like me, we'll get married! Come out, I'll marry you... Boo-hoo, you come out...”
Shen I and Shen II firmly grabbed her hands out of fear that she might hurt herself.
”Young lady, please don't do this. Boss will be fine. You forgot that he was hit by a car last time. And he's still alright.”
A Miao sat on the ground and looked at him with tears on her face. ”You don't have to lie to me. I can see it. I'm not blind. The bullet... the bullet hit his heart... Boo-hoo...”
When Ding V opened fire, Shen Xinglan jumped up, and the blood from his chest splattered onto A Miao's face.
”Are you crying...” Shen Xinglan fell into her arms, also raising his hand to touch her face. ”Don't cry, wait for me...”
Shen I and Shen II frantically called out, while Ding V squatted beside Shen Xinglan and looked at him for a few seconds before suddenly crying out.
”Shen? Did I do it again?”
In the ambulance, Shen I told A Miao that Ding V had suffered a gunshot wound to the head when he was very young, and Le Yi had fought with his life to save him for three days and three nights before being able to bring him back.
”But since then, Ding V has been left with very serious side effects. His memory was fragmented and he will occasionally not be able to remember anything.”
Shen I said that when he first discovered this kind of behavior, Le Yi was almost cut by him, then he knocked him out and tied him up. After waking up, Ding V knew he had this problem and began to train his nose. Slowly, he began to clearly distinguish the smell of different people.
”Ding V kept the smells of Boss and Ley Yi firmly in his mind, and later on, he fragmented again several times, but he never hurt Boss or Le Yi again.”
In fact, Ding V had already remembered A Miao's smell, but today she was covered in barbecue sauce. Therefore, Ding V could not tell...
The bullet hit Shen Xinglan's heart. The operation had been going on for five hours. A Miao sat motionless by the door. Shen I and Shen II also began to worry.
”Why hasn't Le Yi come yet?” Ding V, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Shen II looked at his watch nervously. ”He should still be on the way.”
They had notified Le Yi immediately after Shen Xinglan's accident, but even if Le Yi had left right away, it would not have been possible for him to arrive yet.
”Young lady, if you won't eat, at least drink some water!” Shen I tried to persuade her many times and A Miao did not respond, as if her entire being was left with just a shell.
Ding V stood up, took the water from Shen I's hand, grabbed A Miao's chin, and poured it in.
”Cough...” A Miao choked and then struggled to push him away.
”If Shen is dead, I will give you my life. If anything happens to you, what will I give to Shen?” Ding V put the water in A Miao's hand. ”He's been hurt worse than this before. He was always fine, and he'll be fine this time!”
A Miao cried loudly. She did not know what she was going to do. Because Shen Xinglan always bullied her, she had forgotten the feeling that Shen Xinglan was hit by a car in order to save her last time.
But now... that feeling was back, and at the same time, everything Shen Xinglan had done for her during this period of time became magnified in her mind.
”Yes, miss!” Shen I and Shen II helped her sit back in her chair. ”Boss will be fine. You have to trust him.”
Just as those words finished, the lights in the operating room went off, and a doctor in a blue surgical uniform came out.
”How is he?” A Miao rushed up to hold the doctor's hand.
This hospital was owned by the Ji consortium, so the doctors naturally knew Shen Xinglan's identity, but...
”I'm sorry...”
”What sorry?” A Miao screamed, ”I don't want to hear sorry, you tell me how he is!! Say it! Tell me quickly!”
The other three looked solemn as they heard the doctor pronounce the death penalty.
”The bullet is too close to the heart, we... we can't get it out... Prepare... prepare for the funeral...”
Shen I had not spoken and he heard a bang—A Miao had collapsed to the ground.
Emotion is a wonderful thing—a song, a person, a word. It will suddenly make you realize that what you thought you didn't care about may have been the most important thing to you for a long time.
”A Miao...”
”A Miao...”
”Who? Who is calling me?”
All around was pitch-black, far away there was a glimmer of light. A Miao instinctively ran in that direction. Not knowing how long it took, suddenly her vision expanded.
”Is anyone there?” She looked around and it looked like a forest. She did not know why, but it seemed gloomy...
All of a sudden, she found a small river not far away, and there seemed to be two people along the riverbank. A Miao ran quickly, but when she got near the river, she could not get past it, as if a transparent wall were blocking her way.
”Don't cry, silly girl.” The voice came from a little boy lying by the river, comforting a crying little girl.
The little girl's face was stained with tears, but the boy did not avoid her dirty little face at all and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
”Older brother... you must be feeling very painful, but I have no medicine for you. Boo-hoo... I didn't steal the medicine...”
