Chapter 114 Only She Is the One I Can't Afford to Lose

Outside the emergency room.

Gu Manman leaned against the cold wall.

Her mind was in a mess, filled with the deafening sound of explosions, the roar of falling concrete blocks, and the moment when he used his body to protect her tightly...

"Ms. Gu!" Feng's assistant team rushed over. Seeing Gu Manman's distraught look, with messy hair and pale face, they thought of their boss whose life or death was uncertain. Their expressions were complicated and worried.

Several assistants who knew the contents of the will were extremely worried.

What if... What if something really happens to Mr. Feng, the person in front of me would be the future mistress of the Feng family.

Their future suddenly became confusing.

Time has never been so difficult.

Finally, the red light in the emergency room went out.

The door was pushed open, and the doctor took off his mask and walked out.

"Doctor!" Gu Manman and Zhao Yang rushed up almost at the same time.

"The patient lost too much blood and his lower leg was comminuted and fractured. His condition is quite serious."

Gu Manman's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

"However," the doctor continued, "fortunately, the internal organs were not seriously damaged. The operation was successful, and the fractures were also healed. He is no longer in danger of death, but will need a long period of rest to recover."

Gu Manman's nerves, which had been tense to the extreme, suddenly relaxed. Her vision went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.

"Boss Gu!"

Sister Qing quickly supported her.

The ward was very quiet, with only the regular electronic sounds of the monitoring equipment.

Gu Manman stood beside the bed, looking at his sleeping face.

The face that always looked strong and calculating now only looked fragile and pale.

His right leg was in a cast and he had an IV in his arm.

The scene in the ruins once again appeared clearly before my eyes.

He used his flesh and blood to block the falling rocks for her, and whispered in her ears about his last wishes...

This is the second time.

The second time, he protected her with his life.

Feng Mingzhou's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Feng Mingzhou tried to speak, but only a hoarse sound came out.

Gu Manman reacted immediately, leaned over and supported the back of his neck, took the cup with her other hand, and put the straw to his lips.

"Drink slowly."

He swallowed the last mouthful of water, his voice dry: "Are you... hurt?"

Gu Manman shook her head vigorously: "I'm fine."

"How do you feel now? The doctor said you..."

He interrupted her before she could finish: "Manman, in there...what you said..." He paused, as if gathering his strength, "I heard it all..."

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open and the doctor came in with the nurse.

"Is the patient awake?" The doctor walked to the bedside and began to check the data from various instruments, then looked at Feng Mingzhou's pupil reaction.

"The vital signs are stable, but they still need to be observed."

He flipped through the medical records in his hand, met Gu Manman's inquiring gaze, and continued, "The patient lost too much blood, mainly due to a comminuted fracture of his right lower leg. This is the most troublesome. We did our best to handle the operation, but the recovery period will be very long, and he needs absolute rest, and there can be no mistakes."

In the following days, Gu Manman almost lived in the hospital.

She took care of Feng Mingzhou personally.

Feng Mingzhou enjoyed it very much, felt at ease, and always found various reasons to get her close to him.

"I want to take a shower."

Gu Manman paused and looked at his leg in plaster.

"The doctor said that your condition is still unstable and you can't move."

"I feel unwell." He frowned, his tone carrying a hint of patient stubbornness, "I feel sticky."

Gu Manman was somewhat helpless: "I wiped it for you."

"That's different," he insisted.

"Stop it."

"Hiss——" Feng Mingzhou suddenly took a breath, his brows furrowed tightly, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Gu Manman was startled and leaned closer to him.

"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

As soon as she got closer, Feng Mingzhou pulled her into his arms.

His deep laugh rang in her ears, and with the joy of success, his chest vibrated.

Gu Manman reacted and felt angry and embarrassed.

This guy! He's injured like this but still not honest!

"Feng Mingzhou!" She struggled to push him away, her palms against his chest, but he held her tighter.

"Let me go!" She raised her hand and punched him on the chest, "You lied to me! Is that fun?"

Feng Mingzhou looked down at the angry person in her arms, her eyes wide open.

The smile on his face deepened, and he said in a cheeky tone, "Interesting."

He tightened his arms and gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head. His voice was low and hoarse, with the weakness of illness, but also revealed a sense of satisfaction.

"I got you."

"Don't move, let me hold you."

Gu Manman froze in his arms for a while, but finally gave up struggling and let him hold her.

"Manman, don't try to cheat."

Gu Manman looked up at him in confusion: "How did I cheat?"

"You said you would promise me as long as I could get out alive."

"I heard it." Feng Mingzhou's eyes darkened, and his voice suddenly became serious, "I remember every word clearly."

Gu Manman avoided his gaze and explained softly: "The situation was urgent at that time..."

Feng Mingzhou hugged her arms tightly and said, "No matter what your purpose is, I take it seriously."

“Now I got out alive.”

Just then, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"Ming Zhou--" Zhao Yang strode in and stopped talking halfway.

Seeing the two people hugging each other on the hospital bed, Zhao Yang stopped.

Gu Manman broke free from Feng Mingzhou's arms reflexively.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Zhao Yang hurriedly took two steps back and apologized repeatedly, "I didn't know you were here - I mean - I should have knocked on the door first!"

Zhao Yang stood at the door awkwardly, pacing left and right, not knowing where to look.

Gu Manman straightened her clothes, took a few steps back, and distanced herself from Feng Mingzhou.

"I'll go out for a while, you guys chat." She walked out of the ward quickly.

After Gu Manman left, Zhao Yang immediately went to the bedside.

"How's it going? You've recovered well." He lowered his voice and winked, "Can we cuddle so soon?"

Feng Mingzhou rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhao Yang curled his lips and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

"The doctor just told me that all your indicators have recovered well and you can be discharged from the hospital in two days."

"Honestly, this really scared us all."

His expression became serious: "Don't do this kind of thing again. Your life is very precious."

Feng Mingzhou: "I can't bear to see her die in front of me again."

"I thought about it before I went in. If she... I'll just let her be."

Zhao Yang frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm serious."

"At that moment, I didn't care about anything."

"Power, status, wealth...what do these mean to me if she's gone?"

Zhao Yang took a deep breath: "You are crazy."

Feng Mingzhou shook his head and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“I’ve lost too many things in my life.”

"But she's the only one I can't afford to lose."
