C48

Du Liqing didn't struggle at all. She had no complaints when Lu Juyan dragged her along. Her hazy eyes looked at the road in front of her. She was powerless to stop them, powerless to retreat. She could only allow herself to be slaughtered by others.

Behind the two of them, Qu Yan Yan Yan had been crying. If not for Yuan Wei, she would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.

Looking at the two in front of him, Yuan Wei patted Qu Yan's back in an attempt to comfort her. He opened his mouth to speak, but found that he was unable to say anything.

"I also want to go see uncle Du." Qu Yan Shi sniffed the disinfectant smell around her. At this moment, she had an inexplicable resistance. He opened his hazy vision and realized that only her and Yuan Wei were left in the surroundings. He subconsciously opened his mouth to make a suggestion.

Yuan Wei felt a lump in his throat as his words landed on the heart of Yuan Wei. Nodding his head, he walked forward while carrying Qu Yan Yan. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his red eyes unquestionably showed in front of her.

The four of them stood in front of the window of the ICU and looked at the bed where only Father Du was left. Their hearts were filled with bitterness.

"The heavens are truly unfair. How can a good person be reduced to such a state!" Qu Yan Shi looked at her father, who was in the ward, and complained on his behalf unwillingly.

Yuan Wei looked at Du Guiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and could not help but feel a bit sad. In his mind, the three of them played around freely. He never thought that they would lose the most amiable old man, and Du Liqing had also turned from a princess into a commoner.

Things change.

There were so many thoughts, but they couldn't stop a person's tears. The back of his hand just happened to be covered by Qu Yan's scalding tears, causing him to subconsciously retract his thoughts. Lowering his head and looking at the person in his embrace, he suddenly felt an intense desire to protect.

Qu Yan Shi must not be harmed in any way!

He secretly swore in his heart that in the future, he would ignore Du Liqing's situation and lead to another tragedy.

"Invite those who are unrelated to leave first!" The doctor and nurse came out and reminded him as they looked at the four people standing outside the door.

It wasn't that they didn't want their family members to go in to see them, but that they were truly powerless. If the patient was infected of something, even a godly person wouldn't be able to turn the situation around. In addition to the fatal accident at the hospital, they had no choice but to ensure the hospital's patients a safe place to recuperate.

Du Ruqing kept staring at Father Du without the slightest intention of moving. His eyes didn't even blink, as if he was completely oblivious to the surroundings.

"Let's go." The light here was rarely dim, making it impossible for Lu Juyan to tell where Du Liqing was. He could only use his feet to lightly move and sense the other party's presence.

Squatting beside Du Liqing, he pulled her hand in an attempt to lead her away. He didn't want her to be too dispirited, so he could only maintain his overbearing attitude.

Yuan Wei and Qu Yan, who were standing behind the two of them, had long since retreated and walked along the corridor to the hospital. No one said anything, but their hands unconsciously gripped each other tightly.

Yuan Wei pulled Qu Yan Yan to the underground parking lot and opened the car door for the driver in a very gentleman's manner. He waited for the driver to settle down before returning to the driver's seat. After fastening his seat belt, he put his hands on the steering wheel and drove the car in the direction of Qu Yan Shi.

"How did Lu Juyan rescue you?"

Qu Yan Shi looked out of the window and let the cold wind caress her face, as if it could blow away the sadness in her heart. When he turned around and saw the bandage on Yuan Wei's head, his finger tip had become clear and he subconsciously opened his mouth to ask.

Seeing the look of heartache in Qu Yan Yan Yan's eyes, she couldn't help but give a slight smile, grabbed her hand, and gave it a kiss. He indifferently explained to her just how amazing Lu Juyan was.

Even though Yuan Wei was being held inside, he was clear-headed at that moment. He was alert for the confrontation between Lu Juyan and the other thugs.

"He's that amazing? There are too many things about him that we don't even know about."

The scene that Qu Yan had described with Yuan Wei's words was thoroughly revealed in his mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this man was truly powerful. He was so powerful that she felt that he was mysterious.

Yuan Wei, who was seriously driving, also felt the same way and nodded his head in embarrassment before bringing Qu Yan back home.

On the other side of the road, Lu Juyan didn't drive because of his eyes. He only pulled Du Ruqing's hand as they walked towards the familiar road.

When they returned home, the four of them were lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. They didn't have any thoughts of speaking, but because of Father Du's incident, the four of them didn't sleep for the entire night.

Early in the morning, just as Du Ruqing was about to close her eyes, her phone suddenly rang, waking her up. Looking at the phone number on his phone, Ben didn't want to answer, but he pressed the answer button.

"Miss Dean, please come to the hospital. I'm afraid your father won't be able to make it." As soon as the call connected, the people in the hospital started talking in a flustered manner.

This caused Du Liqing to be subconsciously stunned. It was only until the other party repeated the process a second time that she abruptly stood up and shouted towards the inside, "I'll go right now!"

Du Liqing didn't say anything, nor did he plan to tell Lu Juyan. He ran hastily to the hospital alone.

He ran into the intensive care unit of his father and looked at his father who was breathing heavily. He knelt on the ground and cried out loudly, "Dad!"

It was unknown if Du Liqing's filial piety moved God or if his father's thoughts were too strong, but under Du Liqing's shouts, he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the tearful daughter in front of him, his heart ached. He used all his strength to lift his hand and wipe her tears. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Little girl, you have to, do, do, take care of yourself!"

Du Liqing nodded in agreement, but his tears seemed to be cut off, unable to be stopped. He grabbed his father's hand, trying to feel the warmth of his body, hoping that he wouldn't leave her so soon.

"S-Be careful, the person beside you …" Father Du originally wanted to say a few more words, but the strength of his body made it impossible for him to speak. He looked at Du Liqing's worried expression and could only let out words that had yet to be said.

He abruptly closed his eyes and the strength in his hands dissipated. He lay on the bed, unable to say a word.

Du Liqing was shocked. He grabbed his father's hand tightly and cried loudly to wake him up, but there was no response.

After a while, the people from the hospital came in. They pulled Du Xin, who had slightly lost control of his emotions, to the side and forcefully pushed him back into the mortuary.

"Miss Du, please pay the medical fees for Father Du!"

Just as Du Liqing was about to stand up and chase after her, a doctor blocked her path, coldly glanced at her, and placed the huge bill in front of her, forcing her to hand it over.
