CH 65

Tang Yu could already taste the metallic taste of blood spreading in her mouth. However, before she made the final decision to go through with her actions, she stopped her self-harming behavior. This was because she saw…

…a bloodied Yin Zhao-an quietly wobbling up to Lone Wolf's back with a steel pipe that was as thick as an infant's arm. Then, once behind Lone Wolf, Yin Zhao-an raised the steel pipe and smashed it down onto the back of Lone Wolf's head.

Blood instantly started to flow out from the back of Lone Wolf's head and soak into his black shirt, causing the fabric to stick to his body. However, Lone Wolf did not lose consciousness. On the contrary, he revealed a sinister smile as he said, "It seems cats really do have nine lives."

As soon as Lone Wolf finished speaking, he turned around and snatched the metal pipe out of Yin Zhao-an's hands. In her current zombie-like state, there was nothing she could do about it.

Just as Lone Wolf was about to return the strike Yin Zhao-an had given him, though, he suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from his knees, causing him to kneel on the ground.

Subsequently, Tang Zhengyang jumped down from the second floor and pinned Lone Wolf's hands behind his back. Then, he took out a pair of handcuffs and restrained Lone Wolf.

Yin Zhao-an was bleeding profusely from her forehead, the blood muddling her vision. Through the one eye she was struggling to keep open, she lethargically looked at Tang Yu and stumbled towards her, only to collapse the next moment.

Meanwhile, with Lone Wolf neutralized, Tang Yu hurriedly got up from the ground and moved to Yin Zhao-an's side, tears trickling down her eyes as she wept uncontrollably.

"Yang Tao, we need an ambulance, asap!"

"Don't move the injured first!"

"Keep a close eye on Lone Wolf. Don't let him escape another time."

…

Tang Yu was looking out the window at the heavy rain as she lay in her hospital bed, the gauze wrapped around her right ear dampening the sound of the raindrops hitting the window.

She had received four stitches for her torn right ear. According to the doctor, even after it healed, she should expect to experience permanent hearing degradation in her right ear.

The injury to her tongue wasn't as severe as she thought, and she could expect it to recover fully. Only, before her tongue recovered, she'd have to settle for a liquid diet.

However, Tang Yu didn't care about any of those things. Right now, all she wanted to know was how Yin Zhao-an was doing.

From what Tang Yu heard from the nurse responsible for changing her right ear's gauze, the girl who was sent to the hospital with her had spent six hours in the resuscitation room, and the doctors attending to the girl had issued a total of two medical crisis notices. Fortunately, the girl eventually survived. However, with how serious her injuries were, the girl was likely to be left with many sequelae in the future.

Yu Wanrou did not mention Yin Zhao-an's name the entire time she sat next to Tang Yu. Instead, she quietly waited for the porridge to cool before handing the bowl to her daughter.

Tang Yu's injuries were limited to her right ear and tongue, so she wasn't crippled to the point where she needed someone to take care of her every need. The only problem she had was that everyone forbade her from leaving her ward.

…

Late evening, the sound of rain outside the window gradually diminished, but the smell of sterile water common to hospitals did not diminish in the slightest.

When Tang Yu saw that her mother had gone to sleep on the companion bed in the ward, she slowly walked out of the room and began to wander aimlessly in the dim corridor.

"Miss Patient? Where are you going? Where is your guardian?"

A nurse on duty came across Tang Yu. When the young nurse saw Tang Yu's hospital gown and messy hair, she quickly pressed the emergency button nearby to inform the doctor on duty.

Tang Yu blankly looked at the young nurse, her nose suddenly becoming stuffy. Then, tears began uncontrollably surging out of her eyes. Unfortunately, her inflamed tongue prevented her from speaking, so she could only helplessly crouch down and whimper.

The nurse on duty had never encountered such a situation before, so she dared not act recklessly. Carefully, the nurse crouched down and tried her best to comfort Tang Yu.

"What's going on?"

A magnetic voice came from a distance. Then, a doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses could be seen hurrying over to the nurse and Tang Yu's position.

"Doctor Gao!" When the young nurse saw the doctor, it was as if she had just seen her savior. Hurriedly, she stood up and explained, "I came across this patient in the corridor, but it seems she can't speak. I don't know which ward she's from, either."

Gao Rang, Doctor Gao, nudged his glasses and patted the young nurse on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay; you've done a good job. Leave the rest to me."

When the young nurse saw the young doctor crouching down and gently talking to the patient, she felt her heart flutter.

After all, who wouldn't be moved by a young, talented, gentle, and handsome doctor? Not to mention, Doctor Gao was still single, which caused many young female doctors and nurses to fall for him. Unfortunately, he would always gently and detachedly refuse all approaches.

Gao Rang recognized the supposedly mute patient. The arrival of this patient had alarmed the entire hospital. At the time, a military tactical vehicle had led the way for the ambulance. Then, once the ambulance stopped in front of the hospital, a group of armed officers clad in black uniforms escorted the patients and EMTs carrying the patients into the hospital.

The EMTs carried two bloodied people on their stretchers. From what Gao Rang heard, one had her entire face covered in blood, while the other had her ear torn open, and both were escorted to the resuscitation rooms as quickly as possible.

Judging by the gauze covering the right ear of the patient before him, Gao Rang deduced that she must be the latter of the two patients brought to the hospital.

"Are you looking for someone?" Gao Rang tried his best to speak as gently as possible to avoid stimulating the girl.

Although Tang Yu was in a trance, she wasn't at a point where she had lost control of her emotions. So, she nodded and responded with an "Mhm."

"Is it the person who was sent in here with you?"

Tang Yu jerked her head up when she heard Gao Rang's question. Then, she desperately tugged on his sleeve, her tears beginning to fall again.

Gao Rang instantly deduced that Tang Yu was close friends with the other patient. So, he softly comforted her, "She's fine, but it's very late now, so she is resting. How about I take you to see her tomorrow?"
