Eyes and hands covered in blood, Su Qing's pupils gradually dimmed.
Wind blew into her ears.
She tried hard to stay awake, but death dragged her closer and closer to the abyss.
By the time the ambulance arrived, Su Qing's face had turned pale.
Bai Lulu stood nervously in the crowd, her face pale as she looked at Jiang Sui.
"I didn't mean to..."
Jiang Sui's bloodshot eyes stared at Bai Lulu.
"How dare you!"
Everyone grabbed the boy's arm at that moment. Qin Zhao looked down at him, "Ah Sui, go see Su Qing first. We'll talk about other things later."
These words brought clarity to the boy's eyes.
Bai Lulu watched the ambulance drive away, swaying precariously. "He said if I called Su Qing for him, he'd give me 30,000 yuan. 30,000 yuan is enough for my living expenses."
"Bai Lulu, you're truly disgusting."
"You betray your friends for money?"
Zhang Xiaoli looked at Bai Lulu, also mired in deep self-blame. At that moment, she had clearly had the opportunity to tell Su Qing that the person waiting for her downstairs wasn't Jiang Sui, but she kept it to herself for the sake of superficial harmony.
"I didn't mean to..."
Bai Lulu knew no matter how much she tried to defend herself, she sat on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks.
This little incident had caused quite a stir.
Su Qing, in her coma, was unaware of any of this.
The bleeding was excessive, and her life was in extreme danger.
Her emergency surgery lasted four or five hours. The moment the lights went out in the operating room, Jiang Sui's icy heart remained in the abyss.
The boy's pupils, once tinged with color, were now devoid of any color. Qin Zhao, always by his side, worried he might do something drastic, never left his side.
"Qin Zhao, do you know what I want to do?"
His voice was deep and hoarse, his eyes shone with a deep, that darkness that seemed impossible to illuminate.
Qin Zhao's shoulders trembled slightly. "Ah Sui, you can't do anything stupid. You know Su Qing definitely doesn't want you to do anything. You know, bad people will definitely be punished."
Knowing his words couldn't comfort Jiang Sui, Qin Zhao anxiously brought up Su Qing.
The stubborn boy's eyes were dim and devoid of any luster.
"You know Su Qing. If you do anything wrong, she won't forgive you."
Qin Zhao's words gradually brought Jiang Sui's attention back to reality. For a moment, the boy regretted it. Back then, in that rainy night, shouldn't he have stopped her? Shouldn't he have stopped his girl.
Jiang Sui sank into a deep well of self-blame and pain.
It wasn't until the lights in the operating room went out that Jiang Sui's dejected expression gradually cleared up.
Mei Yeqin looked at Jiang Sui, his face cold and gloomy. He was in a state of extreme depression, suppressed and on the verge of exploding.
Seeing Jiang Sui's expression, Mei Yeqin knew that all the efforts she and Su Qing had made during that time had been in vain.
She had never expected Su Qing to suffer such a fate.
Mei Yeqin was deeply distressed, but the current situation didn't allow her to show it.
"Ah Sui."
"How's she?"
Jiang Sui's voice was incredibly hoarse, his pupils trembling with disarray.
Mei Yeqin pursed her lips. "The situation isn't good yet. She lost a lot of blood. She needs to be in the intensive care unit for 24 hours. The next few days will be extremely difficult."
Mei Yeqin didn't mean to discourage the boy, but given the situation, she was being fair and impartial.
If she had been too optimistic, then she knew the boy's temper perfectly well, and any comment would have been unkind.
Mei Yeqin could only speak the truth in a proper manner.
Jiang Sui's shoulders trembled upon hearing this news.
"Ah Sui, for the next period of time, it's all up to Su Qing's willpower. If possible, I'll arrange for you to go in and talk to her."
"Also, her parents should be notified."
The hasty rescue was actually against the rules; notifying the family was mandatory.
Jiang Sui stared at Mei Yeqin, his eyes cold. "Can I go in?"
He spoke cautiously, as if afraid Mei Yeqin would disagree the next moment.
Mei Yeqin nodded. "Of course. Someone will prepare a sterile suit for you shortly."
When Su Qing was taken out of the operating room, her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and her lips were pale.
As if she would vanish at any moment.
When these words entered Jiang Sui's mind, his pupils dilated sharply. He stared blankly as Su Qing was moved to the intensive care unit.
Her ventilator, everything else, was so smooth.
Jiang Sui dared not even breathe. Clad in his protective suit, he stood motionless to the side, not daring to look at Su Qing.
He worried that his actions might be too dramatic and frighten Su Qing. Through the mask beneath his sterile suit, he could see tears welling in the boy's eyes.
On the verge of collapse, he stared at the girl in front him, her pale eyes.
"Qing Qing."
His voice was low and hoarse, and he dared not utter a single sound. His lips trembled slightly.
The person on the bed seemed to be asleep, not responding at all.
She slumped down on the bed, her face devoid of any color.
Jiang Sui's heart felt hollow, the wind howling.
Mei Yeqin stood outside the ward, her expression pained, her lips pursed, and she remained silent.
"Doctor Mei, this girl is so pitiful! I just heard from her classmates that she's a fantastic student." The nurse nearby looked at the girl inside, then at the distressed Mei Yeqin.
"Doctor Mei, you've done your best."
"Done your best" meant there was nothing more you could do.
Mei Yeqin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Mei Yeqin was well aware of Su Qing's excellence. Her explanations of those obscure medical terms were always more precise than she'd imagined.
Jiang Sui's recovery was even better than before.
The girl even revealed to her that she had originally agreed with Jiang Sui to study law, but now she'd changed her mind and said she wanted to study medicine.
She also deeply enjoyed saving lives and healing the wounded.
Such a pure heart.
Mei Yeqin knew a little about Su Qing's family situation.
Her phone remained on Su Rao's phone number, and she didn't dare to call.
People always hate themselves for being helpless.
