"Sis, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Downstairs, Qiao Luosheng was sitting on the sofa scrolling through his phone. Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Qiao Zhen rushing down with a look of anxiety on her face.
Qiao Zhen didn't have time to explain in detail, and hurriedly said, "There's an urgent matter at the company that I need to go and handle. Luo Sheng, if Mom asks about it later, please tell her for me."
After saying that, he rushed out of the house.
Qiao Luosheng scratched his head as he looked at Qiao Zhen's anxious expression.
The Nanshan Villa is located in a secluded and quiet area, and there are very few cars coming here.
Qiao Zhen waited for a long time before she finally managed to hail a taxi.
On the way to the city's central hospital, Qiao Zhen kept giving herself a pep talk.
"It's alright, someone as prodigy as Lu Zheng will definitely be fine."
Qiao Zhen didn't notice that her palms were covered in a fine layer of sweat because of her worry.
"Master, please hurry up, hurry up!"
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the city's central hospital.
After paying the fare, Qiao Zhen stumbled into the hospital.
After finding Lu Zheng's ward, Qiao Zhen didn't dare to go in.
"Miss Qiao?"
The assistant noticed Qiao Zhen outside the door, walked over, and opened the door.
Qiao Zhen then noticed Lu Zheng lying on the hospital bed.
His right leg was in a cast, his arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and his head was also covered with gauze.
His face was pale and bloodless, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
“Lu Zheng…”
Qiao Zhen murmured Lu Zheng's name and rushed over without stopping.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that Lu Zheng's injuries were more severe than she had imagined.
"how so?"
Qiao Zhen couldn't understand what had happened in the past few days, and why Lu Zheng looked so dejected.
The assistant sighed.
"I don't know what triggered Mr. Lu, but he's been working like crazy these past few days, often working overtime until the wee hours. Not only that, after work he goes home and drinks alone. Then he comes to the company early the next day."
Recalling Lu Zheng's miserable state during those days, the assistant felt a pang of pity.
“Miss Qiao, Mr. Lu has always been powerful. Since I started working for him, I’ve never seen him lose control like this. May I ask, what conflict did you have with him that made Mr. Lu hurt himself like this?”
Qiao Zhen's eyes were already brimming with tears. After hearing her assistant's words, she could no longer hold back and the tears streamed down her fair cheeks like a dam had been opened.
"I didn't know it would turn out like this."
Qiao Zhen herself felt wronged. It was Lu Zheng who had barged into her life, and it was Lu Zheng who was always pestering her and using every means possible.
Why does it seem like she abandoned Lu Zheng?
Seeing her like this, the assistant didn't say anything more.
“Miss Qiao, then I won’t disturb you and Mr. Lu any longer. I’ll be right at the door; please feel free to call me if you need anything.”
After saying that, the assistant left the room, leaving Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng alone.
Looking at the unconscious Lu Zheng, Qiao Zhen was caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, she desperately wanted to get rid of Lu Zheng and return her life to peace. On the other hand, during the time she spent with Lu Zheng, he had already taken root in her heart.
"Lu Zheng, wake up, wake up and tell me what's going on, okay?"
Qiao Zhen reached out and placed Lu Zheng's hand on her cheek, gently stroking it.
"Didn't you say that I saved you back then? Then you owe me your life. You're not allowed to get hurt without my permission, do you understand?"
Qiao Zhen seemed to be speaking to Lu Zheng, but also to herself.
"I haven't figured out what happened between us, and I haven't figured out what my feelings for you really are. Please wake up."
Qiao Zhen spent the entire morning in the ward with Lu Zheng.
It wasn't until lunchtime that Qiao Zhen received a call from Qiao Luosheng.
"Sis, haven't you finished your work yet? Mom just asked me again where you went, and I really can't hide it anymore."
Qiao Zhen knew that if she continued to disappear like this, her mother would definitely have a relapse due to worry. This was not what she wanted.
"Luo Sheng, I'm in the hospital now."
On the other end, Qiao Luosheng immediately exploded.
"What?!"
Realizing he was being too loud, Qiao Luosheng quickly lowered his voice and asked urgently, "Sis, why did you go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell? Oh dear, tell me quickly, what happened?"
Qiao Zhen sighed.
“I’m not injured, it’s Lu Zheng who is injured. This is a long story, and I’m afraid it can’t be explained clearly over the phone. Luo Sheng, try to come out this afternoon. I’m at the city’s central hospital. Come out secretly, and whatever you do, don’t let Mom see you, so she won’t worry.”
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Qiao Luosheng comforted Qiao Zhen for a few moments before hanging up the phone.
After lunch, Qiao Luosheng made an excuse to go to a classmate's house, which dispelled his mother's doubts, and he left the house without any problems.
"Miss Qiao, this is the lunch I prepared for you. Please have something to eat first."
The assistant pushed open the door and walked in, placing the lunchbox in front of Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen glanced at it, but didn't have much of an appetite.
"Thanks."
Qiao Luosheng arrived at the hospital quickly.
He rushed into the ward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Zhen.
"You scared me to death, sis. I'm so glad you're okay."
Qiao Zhen nodded to Qiao Luosheng.
"Did Mom find out?"
Qiao Luosheng immediately patted his chest.
"Don't worry, sis. When Mom asked me what I was going to do, I said I was going to visit a classmate, and she didn't think much of it."
Qiao Zhen was finally completely relieved.
