20. Night 20 Hospital
When Lu Man rushed to the hospital, he saw Lu Xi covered in blood. Medical staff were trying to save her. The scene was terribly chaotic.
When everything calmed down, she noticed the tiny mermaid cub lying beside Lu Xi, also covered in blood.
"Take him for a check-up." Lu Man said.
"Get out of here." The little mermaid slapped the doctor who approached him with his tail and glared at them fiercely, like a beast released from a cage.
"I'll do it." Lu Man couldn't tolerate him like this.
Her spiritual power suppressed Asent, and his claws were immediately deprived of strength, and even his body became very weak.
Lu Man walked over and tried to pick him up.
"No...don't..." His eyes were full of fear.
At this moment, Lu Man was like a giant, suppressing him so much that he couldn't muster a single bit of strength. His silver-blue eyes widened as he watched him soar into the air, about to be carried out of the ward. "No... let me go..."
"Ms. Lu Xi, Miss Lu Xi..." He looked at the hospital bed that was gradually moving away, and looked at Lu Xi's face that was as pale as a death.
He doesn't want to leave here, doesn't want to...
In an instant, enormous power burst out from the little mermaid, and this power was as hot as flame, and Lu Man was forced to let him go.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asent broke free from her and fled back to the bedside, lying on the unconscious Lu Xi, looking at them vigilantly.
"Are you okay?" The nurse looked at Lu Man's hand worriedly. The hand looked like it had been burned by fire, and the flesh on the palm was burnt.
"It's okay." She frowned and looked at the mermaid.
What's going on with this power... Could it be that the little mermaid has awakened at this time? But can a cub that has just awakened its talent have such strong power? It seems they need to re-evaluate him.
"Forget it, let him stay here for now."
Lu Man took the doctor away. Lu Xi's injuries were not serious for the time being, but he had lost too much blood and was receiving a blood transfusion.
All that remains is to wait for her to wake up and rest and recover.
After everyone left, the room became very quiet, and Arsenal, who had been on high alert, finally relaxed.
He lost consciousness and almost fell to the ground.
Assente propped up his heavy body. His head felt heavy and he wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep. If he fell asleep, he would be sent away and he wouldn't be able to find out if anything happened to Miss Lu Xi.
So he couldn't sleep, couldn't... couldn't...
…
Lu Xi felt like she had a very long dream. The dream was about the original owner of the body and also about herself as a clergyman of the Quick Travel Department. The scenes were so real that it was like returning to her own world.
"Lu Xi, are you really going to retire?" A friend and colleague from the same department sighed, "Why don't you work for a few more years and earn more money? We're still young anyway, even though this job is quite tiring."
"No." She picked up the documents on the table and looked at the white clouds floating outside the window. "There's more to life than just work... there's also life."
"Yes, yes, it would be best if we could have a passionate love affair. When you get married, please invite me to the wedding." She pouted mischievously and said, "By the way, I heard you went to Zhongting?"
"Well, my boss asked me to deliver a document."
"Have you heard that Zhong Ting's immediate superior had an accident some time ago? Now he can't walk and no one can find out what's wrong with him. Rumor has it that he needs to receive mental treatment." Mu Nong said exaggeratedly.
"I know." Lu Xi paused, "I've seen him."
"Have you seen him?" Mu Nong was shocked.
"Hmm." Thinking of the scene that day, he was slightly distracted.
She probably doesn't want to meet that person again.
…
Lu Xi woke up and opened her eyes, only to feel shortness of breath. She looked down and saw the little head sleeping on her chest.
The hairy, dirty little head was covered in blood.
She saw the dark circles under his eyelids and a tear at the corner of his eye that was about to fall. This time he must have been scared.
She didn't want to disturb him until the door was pushed open by the doctor. The mermaid woke up suddenly and found her with her eyes open on the bed.
He blinked, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Lu Xi...Miss...are you awake?"
A smile appeared on her lips and she nodded slightly.
"Awake? How do you feel?" The doctor came over.
Only when examining Lu Xi did the mermaid allow others to approach her. During the examination, Lu Xi's eyes stayed on the mermaid and she was absent-minded about her own injuries.
"Doctor, take him to wash it." She saw that the blood had dried up and stuck to the hair in clumps.
"This... I can't take it." The doctor smiled bitterly.
Lu Xi looked at the doctor's embarrassed expression. Perhaps he had done something embarrassing while she was unconscious.
"Go wash it clean." She ordered the mermaid.
Arsenal bit his lower lip, his silver-blue eyes fixed on her pale face, and after a while he actually climbed into the wheelchair.
The doctor was surprised to see this scene. The little mermaid was so ferocious before, but now she is so well-behaved, like a completely different person.
After he checked Lu Xi's injuries, he pushed the little mermaid out, closed the ward door, and the room suddenly became quiet.
But this quietness didn't last long.
When it was opened again, Lu Xi thought that the little mermaid had finished washing and came back so quickly, until she saw the old man whom she hadn't seen for many days.
Looking at the person coming, the smile on her lips slowly disappeared.
