Chapter 56: Waiting, For a Person Who Will Never Come

ated expression. "Don't worry, I won't break your bowls.""I didn't mean that. It's just that the hot water in the kitchen sink is out now because of winter. You're not used to working in the kitchen.....This night seems especially long and annoying...

Standing outside the balcony of the hospital emergency room, he watched the busy and serious expressions of medical personnel outside, as well as the annoying sound of ambulances blaring in his ears. He lit a cigarette and took a sharp drag.

"Zhi Mu, do you have something on your mind" the woman in bed asked softly.

Jun Zhi Mu did not answer her. The night wind blew in, carrying a chill, and perhaps because this was the hospital's emergency department, even the air carried a faint scent of blood.

This makes one feel oddly uneasy.

He doesn't really like smoking, but tonight, he is particularly agitated.

He held his phone in his left hand, the screen still lit, displaying a familiar number. He had dialed it nine times, but no one answered.

Jun's left hand tightened its grip, his face revealing impatience, as if angry and simply switched off his phone.

"The patient has a rare blood type... the hospital doesn't have..."

"Get them to send over some blood ASAP!"

"No use, there's only 200 ml at the blood bank, and the patient is bleeding too much... it's not enough..."

Suddenly, anxious shouts echoed from outside the ward. This was the hospital, the emergency room, where all patients with sudden illnesses appeared. If you couldn't hold on, then...you might die.

The master's heart felt heavy with worry. He usually ignored outsiders, but this time for some reason, perhaps because the voice outside was too frantic and anxious, he turned his gaze towards the door.

A group of doctors and nurses looked grave, quickly discussing the surgical plan.

“My blood type is the same as hers, I'm also negative. They're drawing my blood…” A familiar figure rushed past the door of the ward, seeming incredibly anxious.

Jun's gaze was furrowed, and he took large strides out of the room, hoping to get a better look at the person who had just passed by.

"Zhi Mu, I'm so thirsty." Liu Yiyi saw him about to leave and immediately called out to him in a weak voice.

He stopped his steps and glanced back at her.

"Press the doorbell to call for a caregiver."

The shepherd, Jun, replied coldly, quickening his pace to catch up with the figure that had vanished ahead.

Liu Yiyin saw his cold voice, watching him stride away like that, her face instantly became gloomy and complicated.

Lily clenched her right fist and slammed it against the headboard. "Zhi Mu, where are you going You promised to stay with me tonight, my hand hurts..." she shouted at his retreating figure.

Unfortunately, no one saw her frail and delicate posture. The man ahead had already vanished from sight.

"Where was he rushing to" Liu Yiy said, watching the door of the ward. She suddenly felt uneasy and flustered.

Jun's shepherd walked briskly out, and just at the corner of the hallway, he lost him.

"Yi Sicheng" He stopped in his tracks, looking around the hospital corridor with suspicion.

Why was his cousin at the emergency room of the city hospital in the middle of the night...

Every time he met Yi Sicheng, he would remember his three-year marriage with Qiao Baier. And ever since Qiao Baier had jumped into the river to save him last time, Yi Sicheng had been clinging to Qiao Baier.

Junzhimu's face was dark and unpleasant. He took out his phone and immediately wanted to reboot it. He suppressed his irritable mood and called Qiao Baier's phone again.

But the result is still the same.

No one answered.

"You didn't answer my calls!" Jun Zhi Mu said coldly, his face dark as he pressed his lips together.

He suddenly remembered last time, last time he was at the club, and suddenly received a message that Qiao Baoer lost contact at Yanhuo's side. That time he drove overspeed while calling her, 12 missed calls, she didn't answer either!

Jun Zhi Mu looked out the window at the dark and silent night, clenching his phone tightly.

"Go to the King's Landing Hotel and see what she is doing!"

Finally, he made a phone call to Lu Qinnan. His icy voice seemed on the verge of exploding.

Lu Qinan received his call, first startled for a moment, and then he realized that the "she" Jun Zhimu was talking about should be Qiao Bao'er.

"What's wrong with Qiao Baoer again" His tone sounded terrible.

The glass windows of the hospital reflected Junzhi Mu's gloomy profile, and he urged in a cold voice, "Go now!"

"I called Qiao Bao'er before, but her line was always busy. Besides visiting Qiao Lao TaiTai this time, she seems to have met some people..." Lu Qinian said while grabbing his car keys, "I'm driving over to take a look now."

Lu Qinan thought for a moment, and couldn't help but carefully ask, "Zhi Mu, where are you now Aren't you going to Junlin Hotel to find her"

Junzhi Mu's face was complex, he didn't answer him, but hung up the phone instead.

Lu Qinan watched his phone buzz with missed calls and then be hung up on. He shrugged helplessly, "What's gotten into them"

He clearly cares about her, yet he doesn't go to see her.

However, Lu Qinian did remember the fireworks incident last time. Last time Jun Zhimu rushed over to find her, and as a result... he scolded her, and the two of them were cold.

Time from 12:00 AM to 12:30 AM.

Half an hour wasn't a long time, but Junzhi Mu standing at the hospital corridor window had already run out of patience.

Lu Qinan would need about an hour to get to Junlin Hotel, while this hospital is closer, taking only about 20 minutes to reach.

Junzhi Mu strode toward the elevator with his long legs, a self-deprecating smirk on his lips. He truly didn't know what he was agonizing over.

She didn't answer his calls, just for such a small thing, why get angry.

He has always been an indifferent person, but recently he's increasingly aware of his spiraling emotions. He feels agitated, and every time something involves her, he loses control.

Being angry... Actually, there's only one reason: I cared too much.

He reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out his car keys, and as he strode toward the elevator, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the row of wards to his left. A familiar figure made him stop in his tracks.

Easy Si Chen...

If he were only his nephew, then he wouldn't give it a second thought, but...

"What are you doing!"

The lord of the realm flung open the door, roaring at the man and woman by the bed with fury.

"Get away from me!" Jun Zhi Mu resembled a raging lion, as if someone had crossed his line.

He angrily strode forward, grabbed Yi Sicheng's arm with his right hand, and yanked him backward with force. Yi Sicheng was caught off guard and stumbled back.

Yi Sicheng happened to bump into a hospital cart filled with tools. The metal tools clanged and fell to the ground, and he stumbled and fell to the ground as well, letting out a grunt of pain.

"What are you doing" The woman in the bed sounded as if she had just woken up.

Jo Bao'er's hoarse and weak voice shouted at Jun Zhi Mu, "The one who should leave is you. Get out, get out! I don't want to see you now!"

"I'm leaving, and I'll let you guys do all sorts of filthy things in the hospital! Qiao Bao'er, you are so despicable!" Jun Zhi Mu glared at her fiercely, his anger boiling over.

cheap...

"Get out, Junzhi Mu! Leave at once!" Her face was as pale as paper, her breaths coming in ragged gasps as if she had been struck.

She turned her body sideways, those trembling hands grasping a hot water kettle from the bedside table, and hurled it toward him with all her might.

"Get out! Get lost!"

"I don't need you, I don't need your help. You and Miss Liu disappear, vanish from my sight!"

She yelled and screamed out of control.

The kettle fell to the floor and the glass inner liner shattered, sending shards of glass flying everywhere. The room was now a mess with water spreading across the floor.

Jun Zhi Mu looked at her out-of-control appearance, as if only at this moment did he notice her pale complexion and the hollow look in her eyes filled with hatred.

The young master's trousers were splashed with the scalding water, becoming half-wet, but he didn't seem to care. He took a step forward, wanting to get closer to her, "Qiao Bao'er, how could you…"

"Get out!"

Yi Sicheng crawled up from another corner and immediately grabbed him, dragging him out as if afraid of stimulating her.

"Let go—"

Jun Zhimu's face was complicated. The two men had just walked out of the ward, and he suddenly jerked his hand away from Yi Sicheng's.

Just then, he saw Yi Sicheng lean down and get close to her. He quietly kissed her...

"I told you, she's your sister-in-law!" Junzhi Mu's eyes were dark and menacing, locking gazes with the man before him. "You better not cross my line."

"What's wrong with Qiao Ba'er Why is she in the hospital" He asked coldly, his voice laced with urgency.

"Ah—"

Yi Sicheng didn't have time to explain. In the ward, Qiao Bao'er seemed to be frightened by something, her emotions were extremely unstable, and she screamed in horror.

Yi Sicheng's expression was anxious, and he spoke in a low voice, "Jun Zhi Mu, if you want her to feel better, it's best not to appear in front of her." He said this as he quickly walked inside.

"Baby, it's okay, this is the hospital, everything is fine..." Yi Sicheng whispered softly inside.

Junzhi Mu stood outside the ward, his face frozen.

The doctor and nurses rushed in soon after, carrying patient records and a collection of big and small medicine bottles, their expressions anxious...

"Where are you now, Zuo Mu!"

Lu Qinan's sudden phone call pulled him back to reality. The voice on the other end sounded very urgent, " Qiao Baor er is in trouble—" he shouted into the phone.

“People at the hotel said that four hours ago, Qiao Bao'er fell unconscious in her suite with a large pool of blood. At the time, she was unresponsive. The specific details are still unclear, but it is heard that she was sent to the nearby Second People's Hospital…”

A large pool of blood...

Jun Zhi's mu stood outside the ward, his left hand holding a phone, listening to Lu Qinan's report.

His deep and complex gaze was fixed intently on the bedside...

Her pale and weak face, her thin frame wrapped in the white sheet, was still trembling. It seemed like she was over frightened, her resolute expression trying to hold back tears, which made one's heart ache for her.

Junzhi's shepherd almost instinctively took a step forward, but on the other end of the phone, Lu Qinian sighed and said softly.

The maid in the hotel said, "Jo Baoer has been waiting for you..."

She waited for him, but she never could get to see him.hint of excitement.qiao Bao'er remained expressionless and silent.Okay, Jun Zhimù didn't lecture her. Instead, he clicked his tongue and said, “Qiao Baor, you really are a sinner, ah.”"Look, all the w...
