Qiao Xi felt as if her body was drifting on the ocean, and as the waves rose and fell, it caused her to feel waves of dizziness. It felt as if every part of her body had been crushed.
Qin An glanced at the bed and happened to see her fingers move. âLittle Six!â
Everyone immediately gathered around the bed. Shen Yu patted her hand gently. âLie down properly and donât move.â
Qiao Xi felt her throat burn as she spoke with difficulty, âWhereâs Gu Zheng?â
Everyone in the ward was silent.
Qiao Xi was flustered and raised her voice. âWhereâs Gu Zheng?â
Upon hearing her hoarse voice, Qin An helplessly said, âHeâs out of danger. After all, his car is bulletproof. It wasnât damaged by the strong impact, but a steel bar pierced through his shoulder blade. He still needs to undergo surgery.â
Qiao Xi listened to Qin Anâs words in a daze as her mind buzzed. She recalled that a second before the accident took place, Gu Zheng had protected her using his body. Before she fainted, she had clearly seen Gu Zhengâs face being cut by glass. Blood had flowed from his shoulder, soaking his white coat.
How painful it must have been!
Qiao Xiâs nose felt sour, and she couldnât help but sob.
âLuckily, Gu Zheng had sent his location to Song Shijing at the last moment. Song Shijing rushed to the scene of the accident with his men and saved your lives. You were lucky to have survived the impact of the truck.â
Qiao Xi bit her lip and silently cried.
Shen Yu glared at Qin An. âLittle Six just woke up and is still weak. Canât you say something nice to coax her? Why must you make her sad?â
Qin An said indifferently, âShe has to accept this fact. Besides, she only suffered minor injuries. Gu Zheng survived as well. She isnât as weak as you think.â
Xue Liang looked at Qiao Xiâs pale face and frowned with heartache. In his impression, Little Six was sly and smart, but now, she was lying weakly on the bed with a blank look.
Qiao Xi sniffed and lowered her head. âHow long was I unconscious?â
âThree days.â
âI want to see Gu Zheng.â
Just as Shen Yu was about to reject her, Qin An beat him to it. âYour body is very weak now. Eat something first and do a check-up. If thereâs no problem, Iâll bring you to see him.â
Among the brothers, Qin Anâs medical skills were the best. He was certain that Gu Zheng wasnât in danger, so everyone naturally believed him.
Qiao Xi nodded and obediently ate a bowl of porridge. She then did a full body check-up. After Qin An confirmed that she was fine, he put her in a wheelchair and pushed her to another ward.
At this moment, Gu Zhengâs body was wrapped in bandages. Various instruments were connected to his body, and he wore an oxygen mask. His face was pale and lifeless.
Qiao Xi had never seen Gu Zheng so fragile before. He had always been so powerful and domineering. No one seemed to be able to make him lower his head. However, this accident had almost taken his life.
Qin An said softly, âWhen he was sent to the hospital, he was covered in blood. I immediately treated his wounds. He can be considered lucky. Although his shoulder blade was pierced, it didnât injure his bones or organs. However, itâll take at least half a year for his wounds to fully recover.â
âItâs been three days. Why isnât he awake yet?â
âLittle Six, I believe you know the reason.â Qin An felt somewhat helpless.
Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes, her fingernails piercing her palm as her voice trembled slightly. âCould it be⦠that the poison has acted up?â
Qin An nodded and said, âGu Zhengâs luxurious car that costs tens of millions of yuan had been modified before. It has very strong resistance against large impacts, so although his injuries are serious, they arenât fatal. His internal organs arenât ruptured either. Furthermore, his body is very strong. Logically speaking, he should have woken up long ago. The reason why he hasnât woken up is that the poison has spread.â
Grandfather had researched for many years but still couldnât find a way to cure the poison. If they wanted to save Gu Zheng now, they could only use the blood of the divine physicianâs successor.
Originally, the descendant of the divine physician should have been Qin An. However, for some reason, he didnât inherit the special blood. Due to a freak combination of factors, Qiao Xi was the one who inherited the divine physicianâs bloodline.
Now that her grandfather was not around, she was the only one who could save Gu Zheng. The only way to cure Gu Zheng was to use her blood.
