Chapter 679: Hiding Place
Dr. Xiao’s face paled when she heard that.
One of them was the former Crown Prince who was missing from the royal assassination three years ago, while the other was the very person who topped the wanted list of the army. She and Dr. Feng had taken great lengths and risks to hide the two of them in the research institute, but if the army found them... No! She must not let that happen!
There was no time to waste. The military warship was going to arrive in a few minutes!
Dr. Feng made a split second decision and crouched down beside Lu Yizhou. "Come on! Put him on my back!" He urged Dr. Xiao in an anxious tone. "You go and support Zachary! We have to go! Now!!"
Zeke stared at them back and forth, his golden eyes frenzy in panic. He hugged Lu Yizhou closer to himself as though it was the only way he could prevent the man from being taken away from him. "G–Go where?! He is injured so badly, how can we move him just like this?!"
He had no idea to what extent Lu Yizhou’s wounds lay, but judging from Dr. Xiao’s shaken reaction earlier, he could surmise that it was not anything good. Even until now, Lu Yizhou had not stopped bleeding! He was bleeding so much that Zeke’s clothes were also getting soaked in blood! Zeke’s heart trembled in extreme fright. What if they were to aggravate the wounds along the way and... made the situation worse and even caused him death?!
To begin with, Dr. Feng did not have great patience as Dr. Xiao. He hollered right in front of Zeke’s face, causing colors to drain from the latter’s face. "If he stays here, then he will definitely be dead by the time the army arrives!"
"Zachary!" Dr. Xiao suddenly grabbed his shoulders and forced him to look her in the eye. "It’s okay, I promise you. He will live. I will definitely save him! Do you trust me?" The strong conviction and determination in Dr. Xiao’s eyes were blinding and that was just the anchor he needed to stabilize his unnerved soul. As if he was a dying man desperate for air, Zeke hung onto every word Dr. Xiao said and finally loosened his tight hold around Lu Yizhou’s body.
Biting his bottom lip hard, he watched anxiously as Dr. Xiao pulled Lu Yizhou’s body up and draped him over Dr. Feng’s back.
