The guards were about to catch up, but they couldn't keep up with him at all.
Song Mingqian, a scholar, somehow found the strength to kick open all the doors blocking his way and arrived at Lin Banxia's side first.
As he had seen before, Lin Banxia was curled up on the edge of the bed with her back to him, so thin that even the rise and fall of her chest was very weak.
At first glance, it looked as if it had stopped breathing.
Song Mingqian was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he staggered to his knees, pulling Lin Banxia into his arms.
It wasn't until I could feel her breathing that the feeling of being on the verge of collapse subsided considerably.
But before Song Mingqian could even settle down, his heart jumped into his throat again.
"How could there be... so much blood on the carpet?"
He forced himself to remain calm and brushed aside Lin Banxia's hair, only to see a deep wound on her forehead from which blood was gushing out.
Song Mingqian was so heartbroken he could barely speak, and his hands, which were holding her, were trembling uncontrollably.
The current situation left him no room for panic.
In order to get Lin Banxia treated as soon as possible, he absolutely could not lose his composure.
Song Mingqian pinched the indentation on his palm hard, and the already purplish skin became even more swollen, as if it was about to bleed.
He seemed oblivious to the pain, not even glancing at it, and forced himself to remain calm as he arranged everything.
"Banxia has injured her head. She can't be moved around easily in this condition, and we certainly can't let her sit up. Could you please help us bring a stretcher up so we can carry her out?"
One of Song Mingqian's former colleagues at the research base died unexpectedly in this way.
During that period, in order to catch up with the research progress, their team often worked overtime day and night, and everyone's body was under high load.
This colleague wasn't in good health to begin with, but in order not to affect others, he always endured it without saying anything. Even when he felt unwell, he would just take some medicine and silently bear it.
Unexpectedly, on his way back to the dormitory after working overtime, he had low blood sugar because he hadn't eaten dinner, and he lost his balance and fell down the stairs.
It was late at night, and there were hardly any people in the building. By the time the security guards found him during their night patrol, he had already passed away due to a brain hemorrhage.
That colleague was even younger than Song Mingqian, and hadn't even gotten married, let alone had children. It's such a pity that he left this world so early.
This incident has always been Song Mingqian's deepest pain, and it even made him unable to let go of it for a time.
At the same time, he also read many relevant medical books and learned a lot about first aid in order to prevent such accidents from happening again.
Unexpectedly, the knowledge that Song Mingqian had learned in the past actually came in handy.
Moreover, it was his wife, Lin Banxia, who received the treatment.
Song Mingqian is now incredibly grateful to the version of himself who once stayed up all night studying medical books, which allowed him to know how to provide emergency treatment for Lin Banxia's wounds.
At the same time, together with the guards, they used a stretcher to move Lin Banxia outside.
He directed the entire process meticulously, and his level of proficiency was almost heartbreaking.
It would be impossible to get Lin Banxia to the hospital in a short period of time. Outside vehicles are not allowed to enter the military compound, and temporary approval is also quite troublesome, so they could not call an ambulance.
However, the medical clinics belonging to the military compound are well-equipped with various facilities, and the doctors stationed there are military doctors who have come from the army, so their qualifications can be guaranteed.
"No need to go to the hospital, let's take Banxia to the infirmary first."
Song Mingqian took off his thin coat, folded it up, and placed it under Lin Banxia's head to help her blood flow back to the surface.
At the same time, he personally lifted one end of the stretcher, keeping it steady, and rushed to the infirmary as quickly as possible.
Those who were free had already run ahead to report the news. As soon as they arrived, the doctor quickly came out to take over and sent Lin Banxia for emergency treatment.
Watching the emergency room door close, Song Mingqian seemed to collapse into a chair by the door, as if all his strength had been drained.
"Mr. Song, thank you for your hard work."
The guard, Luo Yi, wanted to say a few words to Song Mingqian, but when he came over, he found that the man who had been calmly directing them the whole time was now trembling all over.
He didn't know that Song Mingqian and Lin Banxia were husband and wife. He originally wanted to ask them if they knew each other, but seeing Song Mingqian's behavior, he felt there was no need to ask.
If they weren't close friends and very familiar with each other, why would they be so nervous?
The thought of Lin Banxia lying on the ground with her back to him, seriously injured, made Song Mingqian's heart ache so much that he could hardly breathe.
Fortunately, the doctor came out of the emergency room at that moment and brought them good news.
"Comrade Lin Banxia's condition has basically stabilized. Although she will still need to rest for a period of time, she is finally out of danger."
"By the way, who was it that gave her the first treatment?"
"It's me."
Song Mingqian's heart sank to the bottom. He swallowed hard, not even realizing how dry his voice was.
"Doctor, what's wrong?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. What I meant was that you did a great job. Luckily, you handled the patient properly. Otherwise, if you had caused secondary injury to her during the moving process, the situation would have been much more complicated."
After exchanging a few words with them, the doctor returned to the emergency room to continue his work.
Song Mingqian lowered his eyes and stared at his palm, recalling the ups and downs of his emotions throughout the day, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Fortunately, Lin Banxia was unharmed, and he finally didn't have to be so nervous anymore.
The guards, Luo Yi and his colleagues, still had work to do and couldn't stay away for too long, so they said goodbye and left first.
Song Mingqian was left alone in the corridor, taking three deep breaths while looking out the window to calm his wildly beating heart and barely manage to calm down.
"The patient's wounds have been treated. Where are the family members? Please come and check on them."
Song Mingqian snapped out of his daze and quickly got up to greet him.
“I’m a family member, let me take care of her.”
The bloodstains on Lin Banxia's face had been wiped clean with cotton balls by medical staff, and the wounds had been treated and bandaged.
Her cheeks were already thin, and now that her forehead was covered and her lips were frighteningly pale, she looked even weaker and more pitiful.
Song Mingqian subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but after struggling for a while, he only gently tucked the blanket around Lin Banxia and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I thought you would finally be able to live a better life after leaving me."
"But you look so thin now..."
