Chapter 125 - Not breathing

The moment Jun Mo hung up the call, he made his way to Yan Mei's ward to check up on her. His heart thumped in his chest when he saw the bed was empty!

"Miss Yan?" Jun Mo called out, but no one replied.

Fl.u.s.tered, he pressed the bell to call the nurses. Two nurses hurriedly came. 

"Sir, is there any problem?" They asked when they saw the panic-stricken on his face.

"Where is she?!" Jun Mo demanded.

The two nurses looked at each other, they realized the bed was empty and someone had removed the IV drip that was put on the patient. Few drops of blood had stained the bedsheet.

"I will go to check the bathroom." One of them said and quickly left to check the bathroom. Since the ward was a VIP ward, there was a bathroom allocated inside.

She came back a few seconds and shook her head, "Sir, she is not there."

Jun Mo felt he would lose his sanity after all of this is over.

'Where did she go?'

"Do you have a surveillance camera installed in the hallway?" Jun Mo questioned.

"Yes, sir. I will call the Dean." Since they were staying at the most expensive VIP ward; the nurses knew his identity wasn't simple.

"Okay." Jun Mo said and followed the nurses out of the ward.

A few minutes later, a fl.u.s.tered man jogged towards Jun Mo. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes when he saw Jun MO.

They informed him that a patient in the VIP ward has run away. Since this is the first time that a patient has run away in this hospital he was fl.u.s.tered. If the news leaks their hospital, reputation would plummet.

But he didn't think the patient was related to the famous surgeon Jun Mo. He had the privilege to listen to Jun Mo's speech at one of the Doctor's Annual Conference. The young surgeon who had taken the country was an inspiration for many.

"Dr. Jun!" The Dean respectfully greeted Jun Mo. The nurses opened their mouths when they heard the Dean. Seeing their arrogant Dean being respectful to someone shocked them, but hearing the person's name made them more excited.

They have heard about the famous Dr. Jun but because he is really low-key; only a few people has seen him.

Who would have thought they would get the chance to meet him today!

The doctor who scolded Jun Mo earlier paused in his track when he heard the Dean. He heard his patient had run away, and he hurriedly rushed here. Because the patient had slit her wrist, the doctor knew her condition was special, so he wanted to personally monitor her condition.

The doctor had assumed Jun Mo was the reason why she had slit her wrist so he had scolded him earlier, but the person he scolded was his idol? The doctor stood there awkwardly for a few seconds, not knowing what to do.

Jun Mo nodded at the Dean. "Can I see the surveillance camera at the Room 303 hallway?" Jun Mo asked.

The Dean nodded as he swallowed, "Yes-Yes, please follow me."

He can't believe the person Dr. Jun personally brought to his hospital went missing. The Dean called the head of the security team so they were waiting for them.

"Dr. Jun tell them what you need." The Dean said.

"Can you show me the surveillance camera in Room 303 hallway?"

The head of the security team nodded and showed the surveillance

Jun Mo looked at Yan Mei coming out of the room, she looked at her left then right. Jun Mo saw her, paused when she saw him on the phone.

But she started walking the other way. Jun Mo heaved a sigh.

"Can I see the surveillance from where she is going?"

Jun Mo frowned when he saw her get in a black car the moment she left the hospital. It's like the person was waiting for her to come.

"Is that all?' The head of the security asked Jun Mo.

"Yes thank you."

The Dean raised his brows when he saw the person they were looking for was a girl.

Was the famous doctor married? Or was it a girlfriend?

----------

"Miss, we are here. A-are you sure you want to do this? If the master finds out…"

"Shadow, who do you serve?" Yan Mei cut him off coldly, sweeping an icy glare at him.

"Sorry Miss." Shadow knelt on the ground and bowed his head in submission.

Yan Mei had saved him two years ago. He had no memory of who he was or what is his name was. To thank her and pay her life-saving grace; he had trained hard these past two years to be her personnel bodyguard. Like her shadow, he hides in the dark and follows her quietly.

Unfortunately, he got injured a few months ago and had to disappear for a while. When he came back, he heard she was married.

Shadow had seen how terrible she was these years now that she is married, he is happy for her. But he got a call from her the moment he came back from treatment to pick her from the hospital.

Shadow was scared that something had happened to her but from her command, he realized her husband was in danger in New York.

Ignoring him, Yan Mei focused on opening the portal.

With the flick of her wrist as she waved her hand, her eyes instantly turned scarlet red as a swirling water-like barrier as tall as her appeared beside her. It reflected the busy street of NY but despite the demesne bustling with people, mortals can't see the portal. With that, she raised her chin up as she walked through the portal, appearing in a hidden alley in Times Square, devoid of walking humans."

Walking out of the alley, she sat in a calr prepared by Shadow which was waiting for them.

"Miss." The driver greeted and started the car.

Shadow gave an address to the driver, and the car fell in dead silence.

Every second was torturous for Yan Mei, without knowing the physical condition of Lei Zhao.

She leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. Half an hour later the car stopped in front of a mansion.

Yan Mei opened her eyes and arched her brows.

"Are you sure he is here?"

"Yes, Miss," Shadow replied.

Yan Mei furrowed her brows when she saw the tight security in the mansion. She was afraid Edward Wu didn't get to Lei Zhao in time, and the enemy had found him.

"You know what to do." Yan Mei said flatly. Shadow got down from the car and disappeared.

Yan Mei tapped her feet anxiously waiting for him.

Ten minutes later, he came back.

"Miss, a man is inside, he is really dangerous. We need to be careful. Also, I saw doctors in the other room, they are treating an unconscious man."

Yan Mei opened the door quickly and rushed inside the house. She knew it was Edward Wu he was talking about.

One guard saw a woman wearing a hospital gown running inside the mansion and frowned.

"Miss where are you going?" he blocked Yan Mei and asked.

Yan Mei ignored him and tried to bypass him, but the man blocked her again.

"Call Mr. Wu for me. Tell him Miss Yan is here." Yan Mei said.

The guard looked at her warily, but he still ordered his men to call Mr. Wu. Looking at the thin body of the woman in the hospital gown, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

**

"What do you mean, she ran away from the hospital?!" Edward Wu bellowed in anger as he questioned Jun Mo.

"A car came to pick her up the moment she left the hospital, so I guess she is okay." Jun Mo muttered.

Edward Wu heaved a sigh. Suddenly he heard footsteps.

He saw a guard running towards him.

"Sir, there is a Miss Yan at the entrance." The guard said not noticing Edward Wu was on the phone.

Edward Wu stood up from the car, "what did you say? Miss Yan is looking for me?"

The guard stepped back in fright, "Y-Yes Sir...Should we send her away?"

"What time did she leave the hospital?" Edward Wu asked Jun Mo on the other side of the phone.

"Forty minutes ago." Jun Mo replied looking at his watch.

"Then how did she get in New York in such a short time?" Edward Wu asked with a frown.

"She is there?!" Jun Mo asked, bewildered.

"Let me go and see." Edward Wu rushed to the entrance and saw Yan Mei standing there in a hospital gown.

"Where is he?" Yan Mei asked the moment she saw Edward Wu.

"Is that sister-in-law?" Jun Mo asked.

"Yes." Edward Wu said and hung up the call.

To say he was shocked was an understatement. 

"Where is he?!" Yan Mei asked again, snapping him from his thoughts.

"Miss Yan? How did you get here?"

Edward Wu asked in shock.

"Tell me where he is. How I got here is not important."

Yan Mei refuted clearly she was getting annoyed.

Edward Wu beckoned at the guard to let her go.

Yan Mei strode towards Edward Wu.

Edward Wu led her inside the mansion.

"The doctors are still operating on him. Sit down."

Yan Mei ignored him and stared at the door where the doctors were.

Yan Mei felt her heart shattering with every second.

"I- I want to go in." Yan Mei swallowed as she said.

Edward Wu frowned. He wanted to refuse, but one look from Yan Mei and he swallowed his words.

"I will arrange it."

"Five minutes later, Yan Mei was ushered in the room.

Yan Mei paused in her tracks when she saw Lei Zhao's lifeless body lying on the bed surrounded by five doctors and three nurses. His skin was horrendously pale.

Suddenly one doctor shouted, causing Yan Mei's heart to fell in her stomach.

"We are losing him!"

Yan Mei staggered back.

"No-no- save him!" Yan Mei pleaded.

She didn't even realize when she was near Lei Zhao's lifeless body. Her fingers shaking as she stretched to touch his cheeks.

"Lei...Zhao..you have to wake up..please." She whimpered.

"The poison is spreading to his heart. Hurry!"

Suddenly the monitors started beeping.

"Lei Zhao! Lei Zhao?" She screamed.

"Please…please don't leave me. I love you…I love you…"

Yan Me uttered hoping he would say it back, but only the bitter words of the doctor rang in her ears.

"He is not breathing!"

Just four words, but Yan Mei felt her entire world shattering around her. Yan Mei wanted to believe she was hallucinating.

"No-no save him. You have to or I will bury all of you with him!"

Yan Mei bellowed. She stared at the lifeless body and the light in her eyes was gone.

She had lost Lei Zhao. Her happy pill was no more.

Tears fell from her eyes as she pressed a kiss on his icy skin, his icy lips. The doctors just stared at her, no one dared to stop her.

Yan Mei knew the last bit of her sanity was gone. It had died with him.
