Chapter 354: Saved

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yichen only wanted to save Murong Qiao now.

“Qiaoqiao, step back and turn your back.” He made up his mind.

Reminding Murong Qiao to avoid it was his last bit of rationality.

Murong Qiao followed his instructions and took two steps back with her back facing him. As soon as she pulled away, she heard an ear-piercing sound.

BANG!

Huo Yichen picked up the chair and slammed it against the door. It was as if he had gone all out, each time harder than the last.

Bang! Bang!

Then, he hit it a few more times.

Murong Qiao was forced to cover her ears, but she felt that the sound was even louder than before.

She couldn’t help but steal a glance at Huo Yichen, only to see that his eyes were pitch-black under the light of the street lamp behind him, exuding a violent aura.

That was a side that Huo Yichen didn’t want her to see.

Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and turned around again. However, her eyes were unwavering and she was not frightened by his appearance at all.

The chair was made of wood, so the door couldn’t withstand a few hits from Huo Yichen.

Staring at the cracks on the glass, Huo Yichen simply used his knee to hit it.

As if his body did not belong to him, he used all his strength with the help of his body. He did not even feel the pain when the glass shards were embedded in his knees.

Huala—

The glass finally couldn’t hold on anymore and shattered on the ground.

Murong Qiao was about to turn around when Huo Yichen picked her up and ran out.

He said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Huo Yichen didn’t say a word. He picked up his pace and drove her to the hospital.

He ran red lights and overtook cars crazily..

When they arrived at the hospital, Huo Yichen rushed in with Murong Qiao in his arms.

The nurse on duty at night was shocked by him.

“Don’t be nervous. This lady’s condition isn’t serious…” The nurse comforted him skillfully.

When she saw Huo Yichen rush in aggressively, she thought that Murong Qiao was seriously injured and was about to die. When the doctor saw that she was only having a fever, the nurse slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, she froze when she saw that Huo Yichen’s right knee was stained red.

The patient was just feverish and weak but the guardian was more badly injured instead.

“… I think you’re more in need of treatment.”

The nurse’s expression was indescribable.

Then, while waiting for the doctor to examine Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen remembered to send Murong Chuan and An Nuo a message to explain the situation.

[I’ll be there soon.] Murong Chuan only replied with three words.

He had a gentle personality, but his short reply was cold.

An Nuo followed closely behind. [I’m coming. How’s Qiao?]

‘How’s Qiao?’

Huo Yichen didn’t know either. His eyes were dark as he watched the doctor give orders and the nurse operate. He almost couldn’t suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

Especially when he saw Murong Qiao lying on the bed with blood oozing out of her bandaged palm and dressed in a hospital gown, Huo Yichen felt that the person who locked the door deserved to die.

He looked at Murong Qiao and couldn’t say a word. There was only a fierce light in his eyes occasionally, as if he was planning something. He stood there quietly, but no one dared to approach him.

Then, when Murong Chuan and An Nuo rushed over, Huo Yichen relaxed for a moment and called his assistant.

“…President?!” Seeing that it was a call from Huo Yichen, the assistant’s sleepiness instantly disappeared.

It was so late. What was going on?

Huo Yichen’s voice was low, and no one could tell what he was thinking. “I’m going to investigate something. The location is Hui University Swimming Center…”

The assistant listened to his President’s words with trepidation. Although his tone sounded calm, it was gloomy. He felt that someone was going to suffer.

That night, because of one person fainting, the three of them could not sleep.

“The patient’s condition can’t be said to be good or bad. At the moment, the patient’s fever is still low. However, I’m not sure when she will wake up.” The doctor looked at the report.

He frowned slightly. “The wound on her left hand is a little infected. Let’s observe it after treatment today.”

An Nuo listened quietly. After the doctor finished speaking, she asked about some things to take note of and stayed by Murong Qiao’s bed.

The person who should be sitting here was Huo Yichen, but An Nuo wanted to stay watch for the entire night too.

From night to day and then to night again,

Huo Yichen stayed by Murong Qiao’s side without moving. He looked at the person on the bed silently and attentively, as if confirming her existence, or as if he was some wild beast guarding its territory.

It made An Nuo feel his ferocity which frightened her.

After that, seeing the redness in Huo Yichen’s eyes and the fatigue in his body, An Nuo couldn’t bear to see him like this, so she mustered her courage and asked him to rest while she took over.

“No,” Huo Yichen said.

However, An Nuo frowned.”… If you do this, she will only feel worried when she wakes up and sees you.”

At the mention of Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen’s originally determined expression softened a little. In the end, he nodded slowly and agreed to An Nuo’s words.

He probably didn’t want Murong Qiao to see him like this.

The reason why Third Brother Murong Chuan wasn’t in the hospital was because he had the same thoughts as Huo Yichen. He was investigating the matter of his Little Sister being locked up in the swimming pool.

“Qiao…” An Nuo muttered.

Looking at Murong Qiao’s pale face on the bed, An Nuo couldn’t help but worry even though she knew that the doctor said that the situation wasn’t too bad.

She had helped Murong Qiao apply for leave from school. Other than Huo Yichen, Murong Chuan, and herself, no one else knew about the swimming pool incident.

The low fever in Murong Qiao lasted for nearly three days. The three of them took turns to take care of her, afraid that something would happen.

When Murong Qiao slowly woke up, it was night time.

“…Mmm.” She moaned softly and opened her eyes.

It was a little dark. Murong Qiao thought that she was still in the swimming pool complex, but when she looked to her side and saw Huo Yichen sitting on the chair beside her, she realized that she had come out.

He was probably exhausted, but he did not choose to lie down on the empty bed beside him. He only leaned against the back of the chair and rested with one hand on the armrest.

Murong Qiao glanced at the sky outside the window. It was obviously nighttime. Looking at Huo Yichen’s current state, she could guess that he must have been guarding her and hadn’t slept for a long time. It was rare for him to fall asleep like that.

However, after lying down for a few days, Murong Qiao sensed her physical needs the moment she woke up.

She looked at the toilet and wanted to carefully lift the blanket and get out of bed, but the moment she moved, she woke Huo Yichen up.

“… Qiaoqiao?” The haze in his eyes instantly turned into clarity. “How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

In the end, she still woke him up.

Helpless, Murong Qiao reached out to hold his hand, but Huo Yichen took the initiative to hold it.

As if he knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t want her to move. He stuffed Murong Qiao under the blanket and wrapped her up tightly. He looked at her without blinking, clearly a little nervous.

It was as if he was treating her as a fragile item.

“I’m not that weak.” She was caught between laughter and tears.

Murong Qiao then replied, “But there’s indeed a problem now.”

Huo Yichen tightened his grip on her hand. “Go ahead.”

In an instant, Huo Yichen thought of all kinds of countermeasures. If anything happened to Murong Qiao, he could just invite the best doctor in the country to treat her.

Seeing that he was so serious, Murong Qiao’s tone became serious.

“I need to go to the bathroom..”
