Lu Lijun reached the room where Jiang Yuyan was admitted. From the rectangular glass fixed in the door, Lu Lijun could only see the two doctors standing near the bed facing their back towards the door while the other doctor checked the patient.
They blocked his view that Lu Lijun couldn’t see Jiang Yuyan. Not thinking much, he was about to open the door and barge inside the room, but just then, the door opened, and the nurse came out.
Seeing Lu Lijun ready to enter the room, she spoke, “Sir, you can’t enter the room. It will only disturb the doctors and the patient.”
The nurse understood if this man could enter the Vip floor, which was highly secured, then he must be someone close to the patient. She needed to talk politely as the patient inside was not ordinary, and the person close to her must be the powerful one too.
Unwillingly, Lu Lijun dropped the idea to enter the room and stood there, staring inside the room without blinking an eye, as his sight sought to get at least one glimpse of her. He looked scared, and so many terrifying thoughts ran into his mind in just a span of a few moments.
When Noah and Lu Feng reached there, they saw Lu Lijun standing outside the door, looking inside the room through the transparent square glass fixed on the door. He looked frozen at the place.
Before they could go to him, the door of the room opened, and two doctors stopped as Lu Lijun blocked their way while trying to see inside the room.
Lu Lijun stepped aside, not saying a word, and the moment doctors came out, he barged inside the room only to go to her.
Jiang Yang was inside the room, looking at the patient chart when he saw Lu Lijun. He wished to talk to Lu Lijun but couldn’t and left him be.
The two doctors looked surprised and couldn’t stop him just then Lu Feng came to the doctors.
“He is my younger brother,” Lu Feng informed and asked, “How is she?”
Once the doctor gave short information over Jiang Yuyan, they left, and Lu Feng went inside the room where Lu Lijun stood staring at Jiang Yuyan, who lay on the bed unconscious.
He observed her from her head to toe. Her head had the round bandage, which showed she had hurt the right front side of her forehead, the neck was covered with a neck belt, her left arm had cast, and right foot taped at the knee, ankle, and heel.
Lu Lijun quietly sat at the edge of the bed and looked at her pale face, which had few invisible scratches.
Jiang Yang put the patient’s chart down and looked at Lu Feng and then to Lu Lijun. Jiang Yang could see Lu Lijun was worried about Jiang Yuyan, and he thought it was normal as everyone in the family was the same.
Noah, who stood quietly, looked at his friend. He could guess how worried his friend was. Other than just worry, he could sense something else in his friend but thought to ignore it at the moment.
Lu Feng went to Jiang Yang.
“What’s the status?” Lu Feng asked though he already knew it after talking to the doctor, this time, he asked for Lu Lijun to hear it.
“Injuries are not serious other than a mirror fracture in her left arm. Neck and feet have muscle stress, and the forehead has small wounds,” Jiang Yang replied.
Lu Lijun, who was silent, finally reacted and held Jiang Yuyan’s right hand, which didn’t have a cast, and caressed it to feel that she was fine.
Lu Feng signaled Jiang Yang to go out. They came out of the room, and Noah went to Lu Lijun and then looked at Jiang Yuyan. Patting his friend’s shoulder as if consoling him, Noah left the room.
The doctors who left before informed the family about Jiang Yuyan’s condition and everyone felt relieved knowing she was alright.
The doctor allowed them to see Jiang Yuyan only from outside so she could rest peacefully. At that time, they couldn’t stop Lu Lijun, and Lu Feng was there, so let it slide.
The family members went to see her. The entire floor was empty and secured that there was nothing that the presence of so many people could disturb others.
They all reached the patient’s room and saw Lu Lijun sitting beside Jiang Yuyan as his back facing the door. It surprised them seeing this side of him because since he was back, all he did was to give Jiang Yuyan the cold shoulder.
As he finally showed his caring side for her, no one wished to disturb him, thinking it might bring him closer to her, and he would stop being harsh with her.
Jiang Yang asked the family members not to worry and told them to return home. Lu Feng assured them that he would be there, and everyone returned as Jiang Yuyan was safe.
Only Lu Feng, Lu Lijun, and Jiang Yang stayed while Noah stayed there to accompany his friend.
An hour passed by, and Lu Lijun was still sitting there like a statue as his sight never left her face, and his hands continued holding her hand.
An Tian arrived at the hospital. Seeing Lu Lijun sitting beside Jiang Yuyan, he didn’t enter the room. He looked at Lu Feng with a meaningful sight that Lu Feng understood but didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Yang was not there, while Noah, who was still there, could guess the exchange of sights between An Tian and Lu Feng.
‘Seems like I’m not the one only to guess it,’ Noah thought.
It was a concerned doctor’s round after an hour to recheck Jiang Yuyan, and Jiang Yang accompanied them.
“Lu Lijun, you should wait outside,” Jiang Yang instructed, and Lu Lijun obeyed.
He came out of the room but didn’t talk to Lu Feng or Noah, who waited for him.
Lu Feng handed him over a water bottle. Accepting it, Lu Lijun stepped away from there to go towards the gallery at the end of the corridor.
Lu Feng signaled Noah to let him be alone, and Noah didn’t follow him.
Just as Lu Lijun reached the gallery, he heard two people talking.
“Are you sure, San Zemin?”
“Yes. He planned it and will leave the city tonight,” San Zemin replied.
“Make sure he should not go out. He needs to pay for what he did,” Xiao Min instructed.
“Tonight, be ready,” San Zemin added.
Lu Lijun heard it and almost squeezed the bottle in his hands, and the other two looked at him. They were shocked to see him and prayed he didn’t hear it.
“Fourth Young master,” the two bowed, acting normally.
Lu Lijun didn’t ask them anything and went to the railing of the gallery. He stood there, facing his back to them as he stared at the sky and opened the lid of the water of the bottle.
Xiao Min and San Zemin gave out a sigh of relief, thinking Lu Lijun heard nothing, and just then, they heard him.
“Xiao Min, is your cellphone number the same as years back?” Lu Lijun asked.
“Yes, Fourth young master.” Replying, Xiao Min asked, “Is there any instruction for me?”
“No. You can leave,” Lu Lijun instructed and continued drinking water.
They both left while Lu Lijun continued looking at the dark sky ahead and looked like something was going in his mind.
Pulling out a cellphone, Lu Lijun messaged someone. He crushed the empty water bottle in his hand and tossed it in the trashbin at the one corner of the gallery.
