Chapter 24: Chapter 24 – Things have reached an irretrievable point_l

In the open-air parking lot, as soon as Gu Yuanzhou’s car stopped, two masked men wielding machetes rushed over and began hacking at him.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, his driver remained paralyzed with fear inside the car.

Although Gu Yuanzhou was tall, he was unarmed. How could he possibly stand a chance against a group of desperados, armed as they were?

He attempted to run around the car, but was soon cornered.

Witnessing the blood spatters, I quickly darted towards the hotel entrance, ripped the fire hydrant hose off the wall, and sprayed the attackers with high-pressure water.

The two thugs were knocked down by the force of the gushing water.

Seizing the opportunity, I yelled,

“I’ve called the police! They’re on their way!’

Upon hearing my words, the two attackers finally scrambled to their feet and fled.

I dropped the hose and hurried over to Gu Yuanzhou.

His current state was horrible to look at.

His suit had been slashed to pieces, revealing his white shirt, now stained a deep crimson. Pools of blood and water merged on the ground.

His skin was deathly pale from blood loss. As I approached him, he grasped my hand tightly.

“President Gu… You’ll be fine, I’ll save you!’

“Deep breaths yes, like that…”

Given the amount of blood he had lost, I was sure he had severed a major artery. If his heart rate increased, he would quickly bleed out.

With my aunt being a renowned surgeon in A City, I had picked up quite a bit of medical knowledge during my frequent visits to her lab as a child.

I knelt down to calm him and soon found the bleeding point on his abdomen.

I took off my shirt, tore it into strips to bandage his wound, and dialed 120 for an ambulance.

Then, I sat beside Gu Yuanzhou, keeping him company.

At first, he was lucid.

But as time passed, he began to falter. He weakly called out a name that I barely could make out.

Two words.

Upon hearing the name, my heart sunk. It wasn’t my name.

So, in the end, I wasn’t the one in his heart. Even on the brink of death, he thought of another woman.

The ambulance arrived soon enough and I accompanied him to the hospital.

Luckily, my timely first aid had stemmed the blood loss. After the emergency doctors treated him, his life was no longer in danger.

Wenya arrived at the hospital by then.

I was sitting absent-mindedly on a bench in the corridor.

“Are you okay?”

Wenya pointed to the blood stains on me. “Uh, I’m fine… This is Gu Yuanzhou’s blood!”

“Is he dead?”

Seeing Wenya’s expression, I shook my head,

“No, although he was injured in the abdomen and nicked an artery, it’s already been stitched up.”
