Chapter 168 - I Want To Shoot You To Death Right Now, And You Are Asking Me To Calm Down? (1/2)

Jiang Ruolan did not know what was going on with her. There were some voices in her ear. She could hear it clearly from time to time, and then she also felt that she could not hear it clearly. Her consciousness was still vague, she wanted to open her eyes to take a look, but she felt as if there were a thousand pounds in her eyelids.

Jiang Ruolan could not open her eyes no matter what.

Is she dead?

Jiang Ruolan vaguely remembered that a rusty metal had hit her head. When the laborer desperately struggled to get rid of her, she was thrown into the air, swaying, and her forehead heavily hit the cold wall. She didn't know whether it was a concussion, but she felt a strong wave of dizziness.

No, she couldn't die.

She couldn't just die like this! She couldn't leave Yijun alone.

She didn't want her life to end like this. She had just achieved happiness.

She did not want to die!

Jiang Ruolan could faintly hear someone's voice.

”President Xian, there's a traffic jam at the intersection ahead. The ambulance can't pass through!” Assistant Bai's voice.

Afterward, she could not hear clearly. In her trance, Jiang Ruolan only felt that she was put in the car, vaguely hearing the sound of the car quickly reversing, the sound of wheels piercing her ears, and the voice of someone who was gently calming her down. ”Nothing will happen to you. Don't be afraid.”

Jiang Ruolan wasn't afraid. She just wasn't willing to die like this.

”Patient's brain has suffered a severe concussion. The blood arteries between her head and neck have been penetrated by rusty metal. Excessive blood loss. She needed immediate treatment!”

Jiang Ruolan could not open her eyes, but her fingers were moving. She subconsciously held onto someone's arm and said in a faint and hoarse voice. ”That laborer... Is he dead… Is---”

If that laborer fell and died, then her life would be wasted. On the contrary, it would only add another layer of pressure to Xian Zihao.

”He's not dead, and neither are you!” A clear and firm voice resounded in his ears. Her hand was gripped tightly by someone.

That was Xian Zihao's voice.

His voice had an indescribable power that could calm her mind. Jiang Ruolan slightly raised the corner of her lips in relief. ”Then … Alright …”

Jiang Ruolan really wanted to faint, but she was never completely unconscious. She could feel herself being placed on a portable bed, pushed into a place by a bunch of people smelling of medicine, and someone had given her an injection.

After that, she finally started to feel sleepy, and her consciousness gradually returned to total darkness.

When Jiang Ruolan finally saw the first glimmer of dawn, she felt someone seemed to be tugging at her from the darkness. She turned her head abruptly to see Jiang Bingqing and Zhan Lian laughing at her.

She tried to run away, but she kept feeling that they were following her closely.

When Jiang Ruolan finally reached the shore, she stretched out her foot to step on the shore, but she suddenly stopped. She saw Xian Zihao and Zhou Shufen. They were hugging each other intimately. No matter how hard she desperately shouted or begged for help, they seemed unable to hear her as they walked further and further away.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan gasped and opened her eyes. Her vision went from blurry to clear. The bright lighting made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. Her eyes stared at the snow-white ceiling without focus.

”Ruolan,”

Jiang Ruolan slowly turned her head and saw Xian Zihao's face. Stubble had grown around his chin and he looked as if he hadn't slept for at least two days. His face was haggard, but his eyes were full of concern.

Xian Zihao stroke her forehead gently. ”You're awake?”

Jiang Ruolan looked at him in confusion, as if she had just realized that everything that happened was just a dream.

”Something wrong?” His eyes were filled with a deep gentleness as he held her hand and tightened it slightly. It was as if she was a rare treasure and he was afraid that if he couldn't grab hold of her, she would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Her mouth was so dry that she couldn't even speak. Her throat was hurting and it felt like thousands of grains of sand were being poured down her throat.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't speak at all, so she opened her mouth, closed it, and mouthed, ”Water,”

Xian Zihao let go of her hand and got up to pour her a glass of warm water. He sat down on the bed and gently helped her sit up so that her back was against his chest. He placed the glass next to her mouth.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and sipped the water. As Xian Zihao carefully tilted the glass, she drank half of the water until her thirst disappeared, then turned her head slightly. Xian Zihao moved the glass to the side. He pulled the collar of her hospital gown to her neck, then placed his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently.

The dream came back to her.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to look at Xian Zihao's face, but just as she turned her head slightly, she felt an intense pain at the back of her neck.

”Don't move. The blood artery between your head and neck has been severely punctured, don't turn your head.”

Xian Zihao stood up and helped her lie down. She passively let him lie her down on the bed.

Jiang Ruolan obediently didn't move, but her eyes were staring at his face.

Xian Zihao pulled up the quilt covering her body and tucked her in. He spoke in a very light tone, ”The concussion in your head left no side effects. The wound between the head and the neck was caused by a broken metal bracket on the top floor of the private office building. You lost a lot of blood.”

Jiang Ruolan was stunned and tried to say in a voice that sounded like it was filled with sand, ”How long have I been sleeping?”

”Four days.”

She started to sit up, but Xian Zihao held her down just in time.

”Don't move.” he said gently.

Jiang Ruolan didn't move but said anxiously, ”That laborer...He--”
