"Yes, I know what to do now."
After hanging up the phone, it felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, leaving him weak and powerless.
After finishing a cigarette, he dispersed the smoke scent from his body before returning to the hospital room.
He quietly stayed by Qiao An's side.
......
An unconscious Lai Qinghuan was dragged out of the basement by someone.
In a daze, she opened her eyes, felt herself being dragged, and wanted to speak, but found her throat clogged with bloody phlegm. She opened her mouth, unable to make a sound.
She was thrown into a car, which drove for a long time until she was roughly dragged out and casually thrown aside before they left.
She didn't know how much time passed when a surprised scream rang nearby, "Miss?!"
She lost consciousness again.
When she woke up again, she found herself back at the Lai Family's home.
The servant had called a doctor over, who treated all her injuries except for those legs... beyond help.
