Chapter 54 Fate
Tick-tock…
Xu Qingsui slowly opened his eyes, and all he saw was white, and the smell of disinfectant filled his breath.
"Awake?" A concerned voice sounded, and then a haggard face appeared in front of him.
"Where is this?" Xu Qingsui opened his mouth to speak and found that his throat was very hoarse.
She looked around and found herself lying on a hospital bed. Just as she was about to move, she felt a sharp pain in her legs, her vision went dark, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
Huo Xilin quickly supported her: "Don't move, your leg is broken and has been put in a cast."
Xu Qingsui lay back down obediently, and the events before she fell into a coma replayed in her mind like a movie.
Huo Xilin brought some water, supported her upper body and let her drink some.
Xu Qingsui finally felt a little better. She asked Huo Xilin hoarsely, "How did you find me?"
She remembered that before she fainted, she saw a blurry figure running towards her. She thought that person must be Huo Xilin.
In just one night, he found her in the deep mountains where few people had ever been. Huo Xilin must have exhausted all his connections.
Huo Xilin put Xu Qingsui down and took her hand instead, holding it tightly in his palm as if he was treating a treasure, fearing that she would leave him again.
"It was my fault that I failed to protect you this time. I promise, there won't be a next time." Huo Xilin buried his head in Xu Qingsui's palm.
The wet and hot touch made Xu Qingsui's body suddenly stiffen.
Is it her illusion?
Huo Xilin cried?
At this moment, he no longer had the high spirits of the past. His shoulders were trembling slightly, and he looked so fragile that he seemed like he would break with the slightest touch.
Xu Qingsui couldn't tell what he was feeling inside.
She reached out her other hand and placed it gently on his hair. She opened her mouth to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know what to say.
After a long time, when Huo Xilin raised his head again, he had returned to normal.
"Don't worry, the people who kidnapped you will be caught. You should rest well during this period. We will return to the country when you recover. I will always be with you." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui.
"Did those two people escape?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"Well, they fled deep into the jungle. That area is a primeval forest, so it will take time to search." Huo Xilin frowned and asked, "Do you remember what the person who kidnapped you looks like?"
Xu Qingsui recalled carefully: "Both of them were wearing black clothes. One wore a cap and a black mask, and the other wore a black one-piece hat with only his eyes and mouth exposed. Neither of them could see their appearance clearly."
Judging from the way the two were dressed, it was obvious that this was premeditated.
Suddenly Xu Qingsui remembered something: "The man wearing the cap had a black mole in the middle of his nose."
Because few people have moles growing in that place, Xu Qingsui took a special look at it.
"Okay, I'll tell the police what you said."
Xu Qingsui hesitated to speak, thinking of what the robbers said. Finally, she decided to tell Huo Xilin: "I heard them say that a man named Yan offered to buy my life. Do you think it could be..."
Before Xu Qingsui could finish her words, Huo Xilin seemed to have guessed who she would say that person was, and interrupted her in time: "No, she was in the operating room the day you had the accident."
For a moment, Xu Qingsui was stunned: "I'm sorry, I don't know."
She herself forgot how important Yan Xisui was to him, so how could she allow herself to slander him?
Yes, Yan Xisui simply didn't bother to use such despicable means to deal with her. She just misunderstood.
"It's okay. Once we catch those two people, I will find out the mastermind behind it and give you an explanation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly.
Huo Xilin took out his cell phone and answered the call. The director of the hospital spoke anxiously, "Mr. Huo, there was a problem with Miss Yan's surgery. We are trying our best to save her, but the situation is not optimistic. Do you need to come over?"
Huo Xilin stood up suddenly, hung up the phone and said to Xu Qingsui: "I still have some things to deal with. I have hired a nurse to take care of you. If you have anything, please call me anytime. I will come back as soon as possible."
Perhaps it was because she had just experienced a thrilling kidnapping and almost lost her life. When she heard that Huo Xilin was going to leave her alone in this unfamiliar environment, Xu Qingsui's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
She lowered her eyes in disappointment, although she really wanted Huo Xilin to be with her. After all, in this strange country, he was the only person she could trust.
She felt at ease when he was by her side, but what identity and qualifications did she have to keep him?
Besides, she vaguely heard some of the content of the conversation just now, which was about Yan Xisui.
Compared with Yan Xisui, she is just an insignificant substitute.
Xu Qingsui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bitter smile, and then returned to normal. She raised her head and looked into Huo Xilin's eyes, and said nonchalantly: "You go, work is important after all, I'm fine."
Huo Xilin hesitated to speak, and finally did not explain anything. He just leaned over and kissed Xu Qingsui on the forehead, saying, "Wait for me to come back."
Then he left the ward without looking back.
As the door closed, the room became extremely quiet, with only the sound of dripping liquid as the rest of the noise could be heard.
Xu Qingsui felt a little scared, so she curled herself up in the quilt. Only in this way could she feel a little bit safe.
“Crack…”
The sound of the doorknob turning made her alert, and she stared at the direction of the door like a frightened bird.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and then Qin Fang walked in.
Xu Qingsui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar person.
"Did I scare you?" Qin Fang walked up to her and asked self-reproachfully.
Xu Qingsui shook his head and said nothing.
"I just feel that the Huo guy is unreliable. You were still lying on the hospital bed, and he threw you to me. What do you mean by husband and wife? The old saying is true: husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes."
Xu Qingsui was amused by Qin Fang's cynical expression.
Qin Fang got even angrier when he saw Xu Qingsui laughing: "You can still laugh? I just can't understand why you would marry him?"
Her marriage to Huo Xilin was covered by a confidentiality agreement, so she couldn't tell Qin Fang that it was a fake marriage.
So Xu Qingsui could only answer humorously: "Maybe it's fate."
"Compared to the fate between you and him, the fate between us seems to be not shallow, and we are childhood sweethearts."
