Isn’t that obvious? He must have gone to Honghai!
Without saying anything more, Xiaojin hung up the phone, hurriedly got ready, and then left the house...
Going to Honghai, he probably feared he’d be torn to pieces by that man!
Inside the ICU of Honghai Hospital-
When Ji Chengzhi arrived with several doctors, he immediately spotted the withered man sitting in the room.
In just one night, merely one night, the man had changed to this extent, his face pale and rigid, his gaze fixed on the woman on the bed who was intubated and attached to a ventilator, as if he were dead.
That was a state he’d never seen before, not even five years ago when that woman left without a word; he hadn’t looked .
Ji Chengzhi gestured for the people following him to go back first, then opened the door and entered from the outside...
The white walls, the strong disinfectant scent, and the "beep beep" coming from the heart monitor — the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the man, sitting there, so stunned he didn’t even notice him coming in. Those eyes, fixated on the woman in the bed, as if rooted there.
Seeing this, Ji Chengzhi felt a pang in his heart, and he walked over and stood next to him: "Mucen, you’ve been here all night. How about we go back and rest a bit before returning?"
There was no response, not even a twitch!
The man, clutching the woman’s hands on the bed, seemed like his soul had left him, deaf to all sounds, blind to all sights, unresponsive to everything around him, as if forever trapped in ice, never to emerge again.
As Ji Chengzhi witnessed this, a sense of inexplicable discomfort grew within him.
Standing by his side, after thinking for a long, long time, his eyes finally shifted and he went over to the woman’s side, then reached out to remove her ventilator!
"What are you doing?"
Sure enough, as soon as he made this move, the man who had been unresponsive for such a long time immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at him.
It was a murderous look!
Ji Chengzhi almost recoiled from the intense gaze, quickly withdrawing his hand. Only then did he say to the man who had finally reacted, "I’m not doing anything. I’m just thinking, if you keep on sitting here , perhaps I should consider removing her ventilator?"
"You think I wouldn’t? Ou Mucen, look at what you’ve become. Neither human nor ghost. She’s not even dead yet, and here you are in this ghostly state. What are you trying to do? Want to give up?"
Just looking at him, the man who hadn’t slept all night, his eyes bloodshot, looked like someone forgotten in another world for a long time. He stared blankly for a while before asking hoarsely, "What... what are you talking about?"
Seeing him , Ji Chengzhi suddenly couldn’t bring himself to tease him anymore and said directly, "I came to take her, do you believe me?"
Ou Mucen opened his mouth...
"If you trust me, let her come back with me to A City. Rest assured, as long as there is a sliver of hope, I, Ji Chengzhi, will not let her die. Does that reassure you?"
He was almost shouting in his ear because in his current state, he wasn’t sure if the man could hear him at all.
