despair
"Brother, Zou, Zou Yuqing is in the intensive care unit upstairs. Do you want to go up and take a look? Someone came with us, and he went up first."
Seeing his brother like this, Wei Mingyu felt very distressed. He knew that he had been able to be so free since he was a child because he had his brother behind him, who always supported him and was his strongest backing. But now his brother's dazzling brilliance had dimmed. He thought, perhaps only that Alpha could make his brother's expression more colorful again.
Wei Mingjue knew who his brother was talking about, it must be Xu Wang, but he suddenly didn't have the courage to see anyone.
"Mom and Dad are on the plane coming back. Brother, you..."
"I understand. Let's go." He still couldn't suppress his desire to see Zou Yuqing, even though he was about to face countless questions and accusations.
Wei Mingjue's steps were a bit unsteady due to his prolonged coma and the fact that he had just finished receiving an IV drip. Liang Shu and Fu Ming said nothing, each one on either side ready to assist their weakened brother at any moment. The time in the elevator seemed to stretch exceptionally long. Although it was only one floor away, it felt so far away to Wei Mingjue.
Was he about to see Zou Yuqing? What would Zou Yuqing look like now? Would he be able to accept it, could he handle it? He didn't know. As he got closer to the ICU, his heartbeat quickened. Just as he turned the corner, he saw Xu Wang, slumped outside the ICU door, weeping bitterly with his face buried in his hands.
Wei Mingjue was not very familiar with this Beta. He only knew that he had been jealous of Xu Wang before because Zou Yuqing was too close to this Beta. But he also felt that Zou Yuqing was happy and laughing because of this Beta, so he gradually lost his hostility towards Xu Wang.
But Liang Shu is different. Xu Wang is his love rival and he doesn't like Xu Wang. But now, he and Xu Wang are collapsing in the same mood.
As if he had spotted Wei Mingjue approaching, Xu Wang stood up from the ground and glared at the Alpha with hatred. His face was covered with tears and tear marks, and his clothes were wrinkled from falling down.
"How dare you come to see Yu Qing? Huh? Wei Mingjue, he and you have clearly broken up, why did he have to suffer because of you and become like this?"
Xu Wang didn't understand why things had gotten so bad. He didn't believe the anonymous message he received in City S, saying that Zou Yuqing was in the intensive care unit of the city hospital in City K, and was in critical condition...
Are you kidding me? Xu Wang laughed it off at first, but when he called Zou Yuqing and Jiang Lu and neither of them answered, he panicked and immediately bought a ticket to K City. Unexpectedly, he ran into Wei Mingyu and Liang Shu downstairs at the hospital.
What on earth had happened? Xu Wang had no idea what was happening. When he walked out of the ICU half-believingly and saw the person lying on the bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages, with his eyes invisible, he was stunned.
Was this really Zou Yuqing, his brother? He didn't want to believe it, but after confirming the information with the nurse, he had to believe that Zou Yuqing was really in critical condition.
All this is because of Wei Mingjue, right? If it weren't for Wei Mingjue, how could Zou Yuqing become like this? Xu Wang looked at his friend who was motionless and burst into tears, collapsing outside the door. Then he saw the culprit coming over.
"You're so powerful, why didn't you protect him? He's just an ordinary person... He's already suffering enough, why does he have to go through this?" Xu Wang asked in a trembling voice. He looked around, but Xia Fan, who was supposed to be with Wei Mingjue, was nowhere to be seen. He asked again, "Where's Xia Fan? He said he had something to do the other day, so why isn't he here?"
Hearing Xia Fan's name, Liang Shu's already red eyes became even redder. "You're going to blame Xia Fan now, right? Do you know why he's not here?"
Why isn't he here? Xu Wang was stunned. He turned his head to glance at Zou Yuqing lying on the hospital bed, and his heart was inexplicably depressed. "Why, why? Where is he? He was with me last week. You are all here, where could he go?" His body suddenly trembled. He saw Liang Shu's tears and Wei Mingjue's tightly pursed lips. "Tell me, where is he!"
"Brother Xia Fan and Zou Yuqing were both thrown into the sea. He hasn't been rescued yet." Wei Mingyu answered this question. "Don't blame Brother Xia Fan. The fact that Zou Yuqing is here shows that he has protected her very well."
Was he blaming Xia Fan? He'd long assumed Xia Fan would obey Wei Mingjue's orders to protect Zou Yuqing, but Xia Fan wasn't superhuman; he'd worry too. Was he just kidding now? Xia Fan had clearly been with him just a few days ago, and he'd even "tagged" Xia Fan. He'd thought they'd have a good chat after Xia Fan returned, only to be told Xia Fan was still at sea? Hadn't been salvaged?
Xu Wang laughed, and as he did so, tears began to fall. "Damn it, why do the people around you become like this? Wei Mingjue, you…"
"Is it his fault? No one wants this to happen. Ming Jue has tried very hard, and Xia Fan has also tried very hard. Why do you blame him?" Fu Ming couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm not blaming him! Xia Fan is my Alpha. I just want to see him. I really, really want to see him. Please, let me see him, okay? Please, Wei Mingjue, really..." Xu Wang completely collapsed. He wailed, and when he said "Xia Fan is my Alpha", his heart was almost suffocated by the pain. After Xia Fan and him spent a night together, he was still petty and jealous because of Wei Mingjue. No, he had always been petty, but Xia Fan had always tolerated him.
Would he still have the chance to act coquettishly with Xia Fan and openly confess his jealousy? Would he still be treated tenderly by Xia Fan, embraced and kissed gently? If he could turn back time, he would never throw a tantrum before Xia Fan left. He would give his beloved a gentle kiss and tell him, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Xu Wang's words shocked everyone except Liang Shu. They had never expected that the Beta in front of them was actually Xia Fan's Beta.
But they didn't have time to be surprised. The nurses frowned and came over to ask them to be quiet. Then they went into the intensive care unit to change Zou Yuqing's medicine. Then they looked at the person who had not woken up yet in silence.
After changing the dressing, Wei Mingjue stopped one of the nurses. He was a little anxious, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak. After learning that Zou Yuqing had been forcibly marked, he first hated her, then began to worry about this Alpha. Zou Yuqing had his vodka pheromones in her system. Would she reject this forcible marking from another Alpha? Would it leave a lasting impression?
Of course, as an Alpha, Zou Yuqing shouldn't have to endure this.
"Sir?" The nurse felt a little embarrassed and shy seeing the tall Alpha holding her arm and not saying a word.
"Sorry, I want to ask, is there anything abnormal about the glands of this patient inside?" Wei Mingjue asked after he came back to his senses.
"Huh? Glandular abnormalities?" The nurse seemed a little confused and exchanged a glance with her colleagues. "Aside from multiple fractures, the patient has no other problems, and the glands are intact."
The nurse left after she finished speaking, and the four of them stood there in a daze.
"There's nothing wrong with Zou Yuqing's glands, so..." The four of them had the answer in their hearts, but Liang Shu was unwilling to believe it.
"Xia Fan... We must find Xia Fan." Wei Mingjue's eyes moistened. Xia Fan had always been by his side, obeying his every command and doing many things for him. Although he had made a few mistakes, he never took them to heart. In his heart, Xia Fan had always been his most capable helper and brother.
Look, he even sacrificed himself to protect Zou Yuqing and became the "second Zou Yuqing".
A low, suppressed cry could be heard from the side. Xu Wang knelt on the ground again, shaking with sobs. In the hallway, his silent wails were mixed with desperate roars.
"Xu Wang."
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from a distance. The four of them looked in that direction and found Jiang Lu standing alone at the elevator with an expressionless face.
