166 He Couldn’t Be a Thief, Right? (1/2)

Slowly, Mingyue raised her head to look at his face.

When she first entered the room, Lin Mingyue went straight ahead to look at his injury and did not check how he looked like. His face was pale with some smudges of blood. As she continued to study his face, Mingyue felt a sudden sharp pain in her head. She winced to ease the pain away.

”Doctor Lin, are you alright?” Nurse Tang asked when she noticed that something was not right with the doctor's expression.

Mingyue took a deep breath. It felt that the pain she experienced earlier was nothing but in her imagination. ”I'm alright,” she answered. ”Let's continue.”

Nurse Tang nodded and stayed beside Mingyue to assist her.

The process finished in a short time. Once Mingyue finished, she instructed the others to continue their task. Her eyes fell on the man's bruised left arms as she was about to leave. By the look of how it swelled, they could guess that the man had a bone fracture.

”Nurse Tang, don't forget to give him an X-Ray.”

”Um, I know,” Nurse Tang nodded.

Just as Mingyue was about to leave, she felt someone grabbed her wrist. Her eyes widened in shock to see that the man had caught her hand. Mingyue peeled his hand away from her wrist and looked at his face. ”Hey, you're awake? Can you tell us what your name is? Do you know where you are now?”

Just as they thought the man might be conscious, he stayed still and did not move.

Doctor Lu stepped forward to check on the patient, while Mingyue glanced at the monitor to see that everything was stable.

”Doctor Lin, you should go and have your lunch. Don't worry. We'll look after the patient,” Nurse Tang said once they were sure that the patient was not in a critical situation.

Lin Mingyue nodded. She turned and left the Emergency Room. Once outside, Mingyue leaned on the wall to catch up her breath. When she looked at the man's face just now, Mingyue could feel her heart wrench. She felt sad without knowing why. Mingyue was afraid that if she had stayed longer in that room, she might start to have a panic attack.

That man. Why does she feel like he looked familiar? It was as if she had seen him before.

”Hey, Lin Mingyue. What's wrong with you? You're feeling unwell?”

She froze for a second before she turned around. Xue Yi Ming stood before her with a worried expression. ”Nothing,” Mingyue shook her head and forced a smile. ”What is it? You have settled the bills?”

Xue Yi Ming glanced at the paper on his hands. ”How is that man?”

”He's doing fine. A few wounds on his body and he probably had a fracture on his left arms. They haven't come back with a full check-up. But, there is nothing life-threatening. However, it may take some time before he wakes up.” Mingyue stood up straight and noticed the bruise on the man's forehead. ”You're injured as well.”

”I'm fine,” Xue Yi Ming touched his the plaster on his forehead. The paramedics had given him a quick treatment back in the ambulance.
