Chapter 575: Take me with you!
When Xi Ting heard Tong Chunian’s words, something heavy struck his heart. His eyes widened and he froze. His muscles could not move. His heart seemed to alternately stop beating pump furiously. His brain went numb. He almost lost control over himself and the echo of that message beat against his eardrums.
’How could this happen? How could his cookie leave him again? No, this cannot happen! He won’t allow this to happen.’
He immediately rushed to the hospital where Qin Yan was being taken to. All the members of the Xi family had also been informed about the news.
When Xi Ting reached the hospital, Qin Yan was already being pushed out of the operation theatre. The doctors had revived her breathing with the help of the ventilator and had operated on her.
Xi Ting stood frozen in place when he saw his cookie. All of a sudden, he felt calm. He felt that everything around him was freezing, as if time was slowing down every second. The voices around him grew dim in his ears. He was seeing people around him and their actions but wasn’t able to hear them at all.
Never in his worst nightmare could he have seen her this way. His cookie was in front of him and her body revealed what she had gone through. The fall from the cliff had resulted in her being severely injured. Most of her body was covered with a white bedsheet. Her beautiful face had suffered many injuries. There were blood clots on her left swollen eye. There were scars, big and small, on her entire face. A ventilator was attached to her nose.
Her broken jaw was temporarily fixed with bandages. The soft skin on her arm bore the marks of so many injections that it had turned blue. Multiple tubes were pierced in different parts of her body.
On her bed, Qin Yan was surrounded by various medical equipment including a ventilator, a small monitor to read her heartbeat, an oxygen cylinder extension and medicine bags with injections and medicines in them. And there were constant beeps from the machines.
Xi Ting saw Qin Yan’s hand from under the bedsheet at his side. He touched her little finger very gently. Her lifeless hand was held by him and he gently lowered his head to plant a kiss on it as if he was afraid that he would disturb her.
