Mo Jingshen held her so hard that she did not fall. Her body was pierced by the bullet and she fell heavily into his arms. She vomited a mouthful of blood but she still had a trace of consciousness. She tried to swallow the blood back in case he would be sad and worried about her, but the blood kept flowing out from her mouth.
K immediately ran over and dragged out the man who had been hiding in the car. He slammed him hard to the ground, grabbed the gun from him and stepped on his back so hard that he almost broke his spine.
That man shouted in Cambodian. When K saw Ji Nuan covered with blood, his eyes turned bloodshot and stepped even harder on his back. He picked up a gun from the ground and fired shots into the back of this man’s head. When his brains were all over the ground, K threw the gun to the ground hard and rushed back.
Mo Jingshen desperately held Ji Nuan who could barely stand in his arms, covered the gunshot wound on her neck with one hand, and wiped the blood gushing out of her mouth with the other, but the blood was so much that he couldn’t wipe it clean. He hugged her tightly, his eyes all red. “Don’t be scared. You’ll be all right… We’re going to the hospital. You’ll be all right as long as the bullet is taken out… Don’t be scared… Don’t… Nuan Nuan… You’ll be good. You’ll be fine…”
Both K and Ji Nuan had never seen Mo Jingshen so flustered. When Ji Nuan’s body fell to the ground, Mo Jingshen sat down on his knees but still held her tightly in his arms. “You are nuts… Who let you do this? Why are you so sure I couldn’t dodge it? Why are you so stupid? Why?”
In the utmost pain, Ji Nuan almost went dizzy and vaguely saw Mo Jingshen’s red eyes. She tried to smile at him, but more blood flowed out of her mouth. Mo Jingshen hurriedly wiped it for her, but the blood kept gushing out although his sleeve had been dyed red.
“Mrs. Mo…” When K saw Mo Jingshen covered the gunshot wound on Ji Nuan’s neck desperately with his hand, his heart sank to the bottom.
The bullet hit her on the neck. That place…
Mr. Mo surely knew a gunshot wound in such a place could be lethal…
She would have been killed instantly if the wound were several millimeters higher.
It was a near-fatal shot!
Ji Nuan fell in Mo Jingshen’s arms. She wanted to smile, but she knew this would only make her bleed more and make Mo Jingshen feel worse, so she didn’t smile but closed her mouth. However, blood still oozed out from the corner of her mouth without stopping.
This feeling was very familiar, just like when she was going to die in prison in her previous life, and blood flowed ceaselessly out of her mouth…
It hurt.
But she had never seen Mo Jingshen so desperate. She had never seen his eyes so sad, which made her heart ache.
She had thought that he wouldn’t blink even when the sky fell, but it turned out that he could also be so desperate.
There were tears in Ji Nuan’s eyes. She didn’t want to cry, but her tears, mixed with blood, still ran to her chin. It felt so sticky and smelled of blood. There was a nasty smell of rust in her mouth.
“Mo… Mo Jingshen…” Ji Nuan slowly raised her bloodstained hand, trying to touch his hand that was also bloodstained. As soon as her hand touched his, he held it with force.
“Do you think only you are willing to do anything for me… Do you think… only you have love…” Ji Nuan blacked out but her mind was clear. She looked at him with eyes that were losing focus and seemed to see him crying. Oh… Mo Jingshen’s tears… this man was so cruel to her when he tried to force her to London three years ago. He could chop at her heart without even batting his eyelids. It turned out that he also had tears…
“Don’t speak. Do not speak.” Mo Jingshen looked at the blood gushing out her mouth, let go of her hand, and put his hand over her mouth. “No more words. Nuan Nuan, don’t speak before the bullet is taken out. You can speak after you’re fine!”
Ji Nuan closed her eyes. “I’m afraid if I don’t speak now… I won’t… have a chance to speak any longer…”
“No!” He covered the wound on her neck with his hand desperately. “Listen to me, my good Nuan Nuan. Listen to me. Don’t speak… Let’s go to the hospital right away! Los Angeles has the best doctors in the world. You’ll be fine. Good girl, you can count on me!”
She could hardly open her eyes but still struggled to open them to look at him, but she couldn’t see his face clearly.
“K! Call Los Angeles Road Transport Bureau. Clear the road to the hospital and get her there at once! Make sure the road is unobstructed! Don’t waste a second!” As K hurriedly drove a car to the roadside, Mo Jingshen carried Ji Nuan into the car before she could say anything.
K nodded, put on his headphones to make a phone call while speeding up the car to the extreme.
The smell of blood immediately filled the car. Ji Nuan felt sharp pain all over, and the only place that made her feel safe and warm was Mo Jingshen’s arms.
Unable to hold out, she closed her eyes again. Mo Jingshen pinched her chin hard and tried to keep her awake from the pain, ordering hoarsely, “Open your eyes. Don’t sleep!”
Ji Nuan’s eyelids trembled and she slightly opened her eyes. Mo Jingshen hugged her tightly and his hands were all covered with sticky blood. Ji Nuan was like a person bathing in blood and there was no clean spot on her back or front.
She gazed at him and his jaw that was stained with her blood. Whenever she saw him, his man was always so handsome.
“Mo Jingshen, don’t you think… life is full of unknowns…”Ji Nuan swallowed the blood in her mouth, looked at him with a smile, and said with difficulty. “Life… only lasts for a few decades. We have no idea… what’s going to happen to us… I’d rather be together with you… in the last three years than leave you alone… bear everything by yourself…”
“Ha…” She slowly raised her hand and stroked his frowned brows. “But thank you for loving me… both in my previous and present life… Thank you for never giving up on me… Thank you for not leaving me… Mo Jingshen… I said I didn’t love you anymore… but that’s not true. I still love you… very, very much… I never stopped… loving you…”
