Chapter 55: High Fever
The low battery notification from her mobile phone sounded, as if cutting away her last hope.
“Thump…”
She fell again, but this time, she never got up again. With her last moments of consciousness, she opened the address book and made one last impossible phone call.
…
At Grafee Psychological Clinic.
Before going to bed, Gu Xingyun had suddenly remembered that he needed to process an important file, so he had drive back to retrieve it. The moment he opened the clinic’s door, he heard the phone in the clinic ring like an emergency alarm.
“Hello, Grafee Psychological Clinic,” Gu Xingyun went up to answer the phone.
“Senior… save… me…”
Hearing this familiar and weak voice, Gu Xingyun felt the blood in his entire body flow backwards, “Where are you, Xinxin? Tell me!”
“I don’t know, the cemetery… there are tombstones everywhere, it’s so dark… so…”
And the phone was cut off—
Hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Gu Xingyun grabbed the key and ran out of the clinic. After closing the door, he opened the map while driving to find the addresses of all the cemeteries in City A.
He had wanted to call the police, but when he thought of the fact that Tang Xin’s last call for help was actually to the clinic, he was afraid that she might still have apprehension. Therefore, he could only ask his friends for help.
…
The day was dawning, and the first light shone from the sky, indicating that the rain had cleared.
In the VIP ward of the hospital, the woman’s eyes were closed and her face was pale.
“She woke up and fell asleep again,” Gu Xingyun told the man who had just arrived after hearing the news.
He had deliberately notified Li Yunshen late. From what he knew, the cemetery where Tang Xin had fainted last night belonged to Li Yunshen. In other words, it was this man who had caused Tang Xin to be left there alone and faint in despair!
If this man really cared about Tang Xin, it was impossible that he wouldn’t have the ability to find out where she had been. It turned out that he really didn’t care about his wife at all.
Li Yunshen, who was standing in front of the hospital bed, pressed his thin lips together tightly. His face was still expressionless, and he just kept staring at the woman on the hospital bed without saying a word.
“The doctor said that her soft tissues below are severely damaged, her hands were pricked by flower thorns, and also the rain caused a high fever,” Gu Xingyun repeated the doctor’s words coldly to him.
Last night, he had asked his friends for help and gone to almost all the cemeteries in City A. In the end, he had found her in the one he had gone to, as if she was destined to be found by him.
She had fainted on the side of the road in the dark night. If he hadn’t paid attention, he wouldn’t have seen her lying there.
If she hadn’t made the call for help in the end, if he hadn’t happened to return to the clinic to get the file, he wouldn’t have dared to imagine the consequences.
Especially when the doctor had announced the diagnosis after he had sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment, it was the first time in his life that he had felt like bashing someone up!
At that time, thinking that he was the real culprit who had caused her to become like that, the doctor had reprimanded him and almost called the police for domestic violence.
He hadn’t spoken up for himself, as he was just worried about her suffering from high fever and having a constant nightmare.
Nonetheless, whenever Gu Xingyun thought of the scene where he found Tang Xin last night, he really wanted to beat this man up. However, it was just a thought as he was never the kind to act rashly.
Although Li Yunshen looked indifferent, the hand that was in his trouser pocket was already tightly clenched.
“She has something in her left hand. Both the doctor and I have tried to take it out, but she keeps holding it as though it could save her life, or maybe she could hold out and is still alive because of that thing!
