Chapter 355 Trying Every Means to Escape
Late at night, at the Second People's Hospital of Nancheng.
When Sang Ruo woke up again, it was already late at night.
When she opened her eyes, everything was pitch black. She felt a dull, sharp pain in her shoulder and dared not move easily; even raising her hand slightly was painful.
He glanced around and saw that there was no one beside him.
With an IV drip in my hand, the icy liquid flowed into my body through my veins, making my entire body feel cold and piercing.
"Clatter—"
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance.
She looked up at the sound and immediately saw the man walking in.
It was Shen Qingzhuo.
"You're awake?"
When Shen Qingzhuo saw that she had woken up, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
When Sang Ruo saw him, an indescribable fear suddenly gripped her throat and spread through her heart, lingering for a long time.
"The doctor said your injuries were quite serious, you know? It scared me to death."
After Shen Qingzhuo came to her side, he sat down by the hospital bed.
Sang Ruo just looked at her quietly without saying a word.
Looking at that face, the pressure around her suddenly dropped, and she transformed into a thorny rose, staring intently at the other person without uttering a single word.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Qingzhuo asked again, "How is the wound? Is it getting better?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Sang Ruo had never wanted to escape from anyone so much.
Having finally escaped that house, she had to seize this opportunity; otherwise, escaping from him again would be very difficult.
She was thinking this to herself, but on the surface she didn't show much emotion. She just looked at him quietly, still without saying a word.
Seeing her expression, Shen Qingzhuo's eyes flashed with worry.
He suddenly moved a few steps closer to her: "Did I scare you? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Sang Ruo's hand, resting on the blanket, clenched its fingers for a moment.
She absolutely couldn't let him see that she wanted to escape, otherwise her situation would become even more dangerous.
After all, the Shen Qingzhuo of today is not the same Shen Qingzhuo she knew back then.
She now feels an extreme aversion to this man.
She must leave him immediately!
After calming herself down, Sang Ruo looked up at the man in front of her and said, "I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright."
Shen Qingzhuo suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Xiao Ruo, what happened today was my fault. I shouldn't have done that. I hope you don't take it to heart, and I hope I didn't scare you..."
Sang Ruo was afraid that she would show her fear and disgust towards him, so she didn't dare to look him in the eye. She subconsciously lowered her eyelids and shook her head again: "No."
"We haven't eaten dinner yet! Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you..."
When Sang Ruo heard that he was leaving, her heart jumped into her throat.
Perhaps this is a great opportunity.
She quickly looked up at the man in front of her: "Um, I want to eat porridge, could you go and buy me some?"
"Okay, sure." Shen Qingzhuo quickly stood up from the chair, subconsciously reaching out to pat her head: "I'll go buy it for you, you wait here for me."
"Um."
Sang Ru nodded subconsciously.
The man took a few steps, then suddenly turned back, fixing his gaze on her: "By the way, you must stay put! My assistant is guarding outside, you..."
Sang Ruo saw through her thoughts and quickly said, "I didn't intend to escape."
Shen Qingzhuo looked at her with a skeptical expression: "Really?"
His expression darkened, as if he didn't quite believe what she said.
To allay his concerns, Sang Ruo nodded subconsciously: "I'm injured like this, how can I run?"
After hearing her words, Shen Qingzhuo gradually felt relieved.
Then, he strode away quickly.
Buying a bowl of porridge is quick, and there are basically 24-hour porridge shops near the hospital, so he figured he wouldn't have to go too far.
Sang Ruo calculated the time he would come downstairs, then ripped the needle off the back of her hand, quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
Perhaps the downward movement was too forceful, causing the wound to hurt terribly.
She endured the pain and strode towards the door.
When I arrived at the door, I took a deep breath before slowly reaching for the doorknob.
"Clatter—"
The moment the door opened, an unfamiliar face came into her view.
"Miss Sang? What brings you out?"
This must be the assistant Shen Qingzhuo mentioned; he was looking at her warily at the moment.
Sang Ruo made an excuse: "I'm going to the restroom."
The other person glanced inside, then pointed behind her: "I think there's a restroom in there?"
"That restroom isn't very clean, I'd like to use the one outside..."
Before she could even finish speaking, she strode quickly toward the elevator.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Qingzhuo's assistant rushed forward, intending to block Sang Ruo's path.
Upon seeing this, Sang Ruo quickly started running.
How could a weak woman like her, who was also injured, possibly outrun a grown man?
Soon, her wrist was grabbed by the other person: "Miss Sang, you can't leave here."
Sang Ruo didn't care about anything else anymore. Without hesitation, she raised her leg and kicked the other person in the crotch.
The next instant, the hand that was gripping her loosened its hold slightly.
She took the opportunity to shake him off and ran towards the elevator.
The elevator was slow to arrive and remained stuck on the first floor.
She was worried that the other person would follow her, so she went through the emergency exit.
She didn't know which floor she was on, and just kept running down. As she ran, her wound started bleeding again, staining the gauze red and even soaking her hospital gown.
When I ran to the lobby on the first floor, before I even reached the door, I saw a familiar figure walking towards the elevator.
It must have been Shen Qingzhuo's assistant who called him. He was holding his phone in one hand and carrying the porridge he had bought for her in the other, rushing back in a flurry.
Sang Ruo's heart jumped into her throat in an instant.
Her first reaction was to run back to seek help from the nurses at the nurses' station.
She kept looking back as she ran, and after only a few meters, she bumped into a human-shaped wall.
A familiar, cool fragrance instantly filled her nostrils.
The other person quickly reached out and pulled her into their arms.
"Xiao Ruo..."
The moment the man's familiar voice fell, her entire back stiffened for a split second.
Sang Ruo turned her head in disbelief and immediately met the man's familiar eyes.
