Chapter 173 I Almost Thought I Was Going to Lose You
Lu Chen ran straight to the hospital that Zhang Man mentioned, his leather shoes making rapid tapping sounds on the floor.
His brows were furrowed and he ran towards the emergency room like a madman, completely losing his usual calm and composure.
The emergency room corridor was quiet, with only the light shining on the empty bench. It seemed particularly deserted and it seemed that no one came to see a doctor tonight.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.
Lu Chen pushed open the door of the emergency room with a bang. He quickly scanned the room and saw a doctor in a white coat sitting at the examination table, writing a medical record for a patient.
The doctor was startled by the sudden movement. The pen in his hand paused, and he looked up with a hint of displeasure and confusion on his face.
Lu Chen didn't bother to apologize, and spoke directly, his voice hoarse and hurried: "Where is Xu Nuo?"
The doctor frowned and shook his head in confusion: "Xu Nuo? I don't know this person."
Lu Chen's breathing stagnated, his eyes became more anxious, and he quickly described her appearance: "Long hair, ponytail, wearing a dark gray wool coat."
The doctor seemed to have some impression: "Oh, you mean the lady just now? She is in the treatment room."
Lu Chen's heart sank suddenly, and his voice almost trembled: "Is she... seriously injured?"
The doctor was stunned by the question: "Injury? What injury? There is no injury."
Lu Chen saw that the doctor always had a confused expression on his face when answering questions.
He could no longer suppress his inner anxiety, so he turned around and rushed out of the emergency room and went straight to the treatment room.
The door of the treatment room was ajar, letting in a ray of light.
Lu Chen pushed open the door, and it hit the wall heavily, making a deafening sound.
The loud noise startled everyone in the room. Xu Nuo turned around suddenly after hearing the noise.
"Lu Chen?" Her voice was soft and puzzled. "Why are you here?"
Lu Chen did not answer her. Instead, his eyes quickly scanned her body, from her hair to her toes, as if to confirm whether she was intact.
"You're not hurt?"
Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why Lu Chen was so anxious: "No, it's not me who was injured, it's someone else. I sent someone to the hospital to bandage the wound."
"Who did you send? Where is the person?"
Xu Nuo pointed outside the door and said, "The police came here to take a statement just now. Shi Ning is already waiting in the police car. I forgot his bag in the treatment room, so I asked the doctor before coming here to look for it. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Lu Chen did not answer, but suddenly took a step forward and hugged her tightly. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of relief after regaining what he had lost: "Zhang Man told me that you were stabbed and the ground was covered with blood. You were sent to the hospital. Fortunately, what she said was wrong. You were not the one who was injured..."
This sentence made Xu Nuo understand the general situation. She put her arms around Lu Chen's waist and patted him gently: "I'm fine, really fine. Don't worry."
Lu Chen's body trembled slightly: "I thought... I thought I almost lost you."
Xu Nuo's heart trembled, and she buried her head in his arms: "No, you won't lose me."
The two hugged for a while, and Xu Nuo gently let go of Lu Chen. He couldn't help but scold Zhang Man: "This bastard, he actually told you that, isn't this a lie? I was alive and well, but she almost killed me with just one sentence."
Lu Chen had never seen Xu Nuo swear before, and was stunned for a moment. Then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"What happened today? What happened later?" he asked.
Xu Nuo knew that Zhang Man must have told him this after she returned home, but given the current situation, it was hard to say how much truth there was in her words.
Xu Nuo took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "I'll tell you slowly on the way. Right now, I have to go to the police station to take a statement."
Lu Chen nodded, his tone firm: "I'll go with you."
"good."
The two walked out of the hospital side by side. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground.
The police car was still parked quietly in front of the hospital.
Xu Nuo walked forward and knocked on the car window gently. The window slowly lowered, revealing Shi Ning's pale face.
His brows were furrowed and his eyes were lifeless, and he looked very uncomfortable.
The doctor at the hospital just said that his wound is not serious.
It was just that it was snowing hard and windy today, Shi Ning was wearing thin clothes and had sweated a lot after the fight, so he had to be alert in case he had a fever at night.
"He looks very uncomfortable. Why don't we send him back to rest first? Can I go with you to take the statement?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Okay." The police agreed.
We just took a simple statement in the hospital, and through Xu Nuo and the confessions of passers-by, we learned that Shi Ning was just a college student who passed by and bravely came to help.
"Get in the car."
"I can go to the police station by myself." She pointed to a military vehicle parked not far away.
The policeman followed her gaze and immediately recognized the origin of the car. He nodded and said nothing more.
Before leaving, Xu Nuo stuffed his shoulder bag into the car, gently called Shi Ning, and reminded him: "This bag contains anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. If you have a fever, take antipyretic drugs, and take anti-inflammatory drugs three times a day on time."
Shi Ning forced himself to open his eyes, his eyes were a little dazed, but he still nodded, his voice weak: "Got it, thank you."
After he said that, he waved at Xu Nuo and closed his eyes again.
Xu Nuo looked at him like this, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. But she quickly restrained her emotions, turned back to the military vehicle and said to Lu Chen: "Let's go, let's go to the police station."
On the way, Lu Chen asked Xu Nuo: "Can you tell me now? What happened?"
After Xu Nuo sorted out his thoughts briefly, he told Lu Chen what happened at that time.
"It's all thanks to this college student Shi Ning. I want to thank him later." Xu Nuo said.
"Okay." Lu Chen agreed. "I'll buy some supplements and send them to school tomorrow. When he recovers from his injuries, we'll treat him to a meal."
Xu Nuo nodded slightly: "Okay."
"In addition." Lu Chen paused and said, "I will give him a silk banner and write a thank-you letter to the school."
The previous thanks were all material thanks, but this one reflected his recognition and respect for Shi Ning. Moreover, if there were any selection activities in the future, Shi Ning would be the first one to be considered because of his bravery.
"Yeah, this is good."
"That's it, then."
"By the way, call home after you get to the police station." Xu Nuo said apologetically, "I should have called home first when I got to the hospital, but I was so panicked that I completely forgot about it. It's my fault for making you worry about me."
Lu Chen glanced at her sideways, freed one hand and held Xu Nuo tightly: "It's my fault that I didn't get to you when you needed me the most. After reporting in today, I went to visit Jing City with a few comrades."
If he had come earlier, perhaps today's drama would not have happened.
"You can't say that. You don't know what happened today. Besides, you have your job and comrades, and you can't always make me the center. It's the same for me. Although we are husband and wife, we also have to have each other's friends and space." Xu Nuo said seriously.
Lu Chen was surprised by this.
He has seen too many wives complaining about their husbands who would rather party with friends than come home early to be with them.
Unexpectedly, his wife was just the opposite.
The car slowly drove to the police station, Xu Nuo got out, and Lu Chen followed closely behind.
Xu Nuo looked back at Lu Chen and said softly, "Wait for me in the car. I'll be ready soon."
