Eight o'clock in the evening, Kangrui Hospital VIP ward.
"It's the sixth day, Youbao."
Shi Heng was sitting beside the bed, holding a cotton swab in his fingertips and applying lip balm to Gu Youran.
Gu Youran's lips turned pale while she was in a coma, but her beautiful lip peaks could still be seen.
That was the shape of her face that she would unconsciously purse every time she was annoyed by him.
Shi Heng suddenly chuckled and stroked the dimple at the corner of her lips with his fingertips.
"Remember the last time you were angry, you had this expression."
He leaned over, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "And then it took me three kisses to coax you into submission."
"drop--"
The monitor suddenly made a soft beep.
Shi Heng looked up and saw his heart rate climb from 68 to 72.
"It seems that my Youbao heard it all."
There was a smile in Shi Heng's low voice, and his slender fingers deliberately kept the cotton swab between her lips for two more seconds.
"My second uncle put on a good show today and asked me to take over the unfinished Yamamoto project."
"When he saw Sato's signature..." His fingertips brushed her lips faintly, "Second Uncle's expression at that time..."
The cotton swab was suddenly bitten.
Shi Heng's breathing stagnated.
The image of the person on the hospital bed unconsciously holding a cotton swab in his mouth overlapped with my memory.
That night, when she was drunk, she bit his tie in the same way, and asked through drunken eyes, "Mr. Shi is so good at flirting, how many girlfriends has he had?"
"Relax, Youbao."
Shi Heng's thumb pried open her teeth, "Bite again..."
The value soared from 82 to 90.
The curve on the monitor fluctuated violently.
"It seems my Youbao..." He leaned over and brushed his thin lips against her red earlobe, "The body is more honest than the mouth."
Shi Heng picked up the cherry blossom scented hand cream, melted it in his palm, and slowly massaged her knuckles with his slender fingers.
He did this for six days.
He had become skilled enough to find the most comfortable strength for each of her knuckles.
Suddenly, his little finger was gently hooked by something.
Shi Heng was stunned.
Gu Youran's fingers were wrapped around his ring finger, with very light force.
She was so nervous that she was shaking on the day of getting the marriage certificate, and she went through the whole process secretly with her finger hooked on his.
"There's a limit to pretending to be asleep..." He supported her pillow with one hand and stroked her violently trembling eyelashes with the other hand, "My great doctor..."
“Drip—drip—”
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
103…115…121…
The numbers on the monitor were jumping wildly.
Before Shi Heng could react, he saw a tear sliding down from the corner of her tightly closed eyes.
It hit the pulse point on his wrist.
Amazingly hot.
Shi Heng's kiss fell before his breath, and he tasted the bitterness of tears.
"It's okay..." He chuckled through his tears, "I'll wait for you."
…
at the same time.
Outside Kangrui Hospital, three black Maybachs were parked quietly in the shadow of the hospital wall.
The rear window of the middle car was half-lowered, revealing Renault's stern profile.
He ran his fingers across his forehead, where there was a faint scar.
That was the witness of the changes that happened to the Gu and Lei families twenty-two years ago.
At that moment, amidst the blazing flames, the eight-year-old boy held Gu Youran tightly. The flying shards of glass carved a permanent mark on his forehead.
Retract your thoughts.
He stared at the lighted window on the fifth floor, where Gu Youran was still sleeping.
"Sixth Young Master."
Lei Shuangcheng opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
The second-in-command of the "Thunder Guard" just rushed over from Country Y overnight.
His hair, which was always combed neatly back, was now a little messy, and there was a faint blue shadow under his eyes.
He was secretly shocked that Renault was willing to alarm the old man and transfer the entire "Thunder Guard" to China.
Just to track down the whereabouts of an eagle badge.
Lei Shuangcheng handed a yellowed photo to the back seat, the edge of the photo paper was slightly curled.
"The third child found the nursery teacher who took care of Dr. Gu in Yuncheng. This was taken when she was five years old."
Renault took the photo and his fingertips trembled slightly when they touched the photo paper.
The little girl in the photo is standing on the steps of the orphanage, and the sunlight shines on her slightly open collar.
The reflection of the silver chain was clearly visible there.
"But there was an unexpected thing." Lei Shuangcheng handed over another photo, "In the same orphanage, another girl was also wearing this."
The second photo shows the girl facing the camera, with the eagle emblem fully visible outside her collar.
The unique serrated pattern on the eagle's wings was exactly the same as he remembered.
"Sixth Young Master?"
Lei Shuangcheng noticed that his jawline instantly tightened.
"The Flying Eagle Badge is the only token of the Gu family's bloodline inheritance."
Renault rubbed his thumb heavily across the intact badge on the photo. "She should have awakened at the age of 18, but she is 25 this year..."
"You mean..."
Renault suddenly cracked the photo, "I'm afraid the eagle emblem has been lost..."
"Go to Yuncheng." The suppressed anger in his voice made Lei Shuangcheng's back cold, "Now."
Renault's voice was as cold as ice. "I want to know who stole what belonged to Gu Youran."
Lei Shuangcheng was startled, but quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Sixth Young Master."
He immediately dialed the number and ordered, "Prepare the helicopter, take off in twenty minutes, destination Yuncheng."
The Maybach slowly drove away from the hospital.
Renault took one last glance at the receding lights in the rearview mirror.
There was an undercurrent in his eyes.
The clue from twenty-two years ago was right before his eyes, and he didn't want to wait even one more night.
