Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Guilt and Heartache_1
I saw the white sleeve of the nurse’s uniform, stained with a large patch of bright red blood after I grabbed it. She looked at me in terror.

“Quick, lay down! Your head is coming off!”

“Ding Yinuo, who can tell me where Ding Yinuo is?”

Is it that serious? Was she exaggerating when she said my head was about to fall off? How could I still be talking if it was?

Actually, I was not worried about my own injuries at all. All my concerns were for Ding Yinuo.

He was injured trying to save me, what should I do if he dies?

I daren’t even imagine…

I couldn’t feel any pain on my body, I even felt a surge of strength, I wanted to get up and find Ding Yinuo.

“Let me go, I don’t want the surgery, I have to find Ding Yinuo!”

My intense emotions kept the doctors from approaching me.

One of the doctors who seemed to have more experience approached me and said,

“You’re referring to the comrade who was brought here with you from the accident, right?”

“Yes, his name is Ding Yinuo, he’s a guy, how bad are his injuries?”

“Well, his situation is better than yours! But, you need to finish your surgery before you can see him!”

“Really?”

“Yes, we doctors won’t lie to you.”

Since the doctor spoke with such certainty, I believed him.

I stopped resisting and quietly lay on the operation table, then the anesthesiologist administered anesthesia to me.

Soon, my thoughts began to drift again.

Slowly, I lost consciousness.

I don’t know how much time passed when I slowly woke up again.

One of my arms was in a cast and the other was hung up on the bed frame, receiving an IV.

The lights in the ward were on and a small nurse was scurrying around me.

Only then did I feel the all-over pain in my body.

Unable to move!

Even an oxygen tube was inserted into my nose.

“Miss Nurse!”

The voice I let out was horribly hoarse.

The nurse looked at me when she heard my voice,

“You’re awake, what do you need?”

“No, I was wondering… I want to know the condition of my friend!”

“Who is your friend?”

Apparently, this nurse wasn’t in the same shift as the doctor before.

She doesn’t know what I am talking about.

So I patiently explained it again,

“We were in a car accident, my comrade was in the car, his name is Ding Yinuo, could you please check how he is doing now?”

“Oh, please wait a moment, I will have a look!”

The nurse left the room.

Half an hour later, she finally came back.

“I’m sorry! Are you talking about the accident with the big truck?”

“Yes!”

“Well, there is indeed another victim, I don’t know his name. But his injuries are quite serious, and he was sent to the First City Hospital for emergency treatment, we can’t get any information about him here.”

“Could you, could you please contact my family…”

Even though I’m badly injured and bedridden now, luckily I’m still clear-headed.

I gave the nurse Wenya’s phone number.

The nurse kindly made a call to Wenya for me, half an hour later, Wenya hurried over.

Seeing me wrapped like a zongzi (dumpling), Wenya was shocked.

It took her a long time to recognize me,

“My goodness, Ayun, what happened to you?”

I calmly told her the truth.

“Gu Yuanzhou tried to kill me!”

“How, how is that possible, in broad daylight, how could he be so crazy?”

Wenya also seemed unable to believe it.

So, I reluctantly explained to Wenya everything that happened in the morning.

Wenya nodded after hearing it, then silently turned on her phone.

She browsed on the news website, then looked at me with great regret.

“Something definitely happened to Song Zexi, there’s no news about Gu Yuanzhou’s scandalous incidents.”

“Try calling Song Zexi’s phone again!”

“Okay!”

Wenya picked up the phone and dialed Song Zexi’s number over and over.

Unfortunately, Song Zexi’s phone was always turned off.

This could mean only one thing: the press conference had failed.

At this moment, through Wenya’s words, I realized that it was already the next morning.

Which means, a lot must have happened yesterday morning…

“I can’t reach him!”

Wenya shook her head, “Ayun, look at yourself now. You should just rest and recover! Leave the rest for later!”

“No, I can’t calm down without any news from him!”

“Ayun, look at yourself now!”

Wenya shook her head, she picked up the phone, took a picture of me and handed it to me.

Only then I realized, my injuries were much more serious than I had imagined.

A large patch of hair on my head must have been shaved off, and I’m wrapped up like a mummy.

There is a cast on my left arm and I have various tubes inserted.

Now, I understand why the nurse exclaimed that my head is going to fall off when she saw me…

Looking at my bandaged head, I felt a little uneasy. Have I been disfigured?

I was silent for a long time.

Wenya quietly took back her phone,

“Ayun, I know you are very anxious. But now is not the time, you are seriously injured. Maybe…Song Zexi is okay? Maybe he is just hiding, even though he is weak, he is still a man, certainly safer than you.”

“Okay then…Can you help get in touch with Ding Yinuo for me! We were in the same car, I don’t know how is he now!”

When I mentioned Ding Yinuo, I choked several times…

It hurt so bad, it felt like I was back in the day of the fire, witnessing the death of the two children right in front of me.

If Ding Yinuo is dead, it means I killed him. I could never forgive myself.

This time Wenya didn’t refuse, “Okay, I will look for him for you. It should be easy.”

“Alright, go find him!”

Although Wenya agreed verbally, she remained stationary.

“There’s no rush! I want to accompany you for a bit more! Where is your phone?”

“Probably in the car, after such a serious car accident, I expect the phone must have been shattered beyond recognition.”

“Alright then, I’ll buy you a new phone! Otherwise, you will be bored here all by yourself!”

“Okay!”

“Do you need anything else?”

“No!”

“Do you need me to bring you some change of clothes from your home? Towels and such?”

Wenya asked in detail, even took out her phone to keep note of it.

But I couldn’t stand it anymore, “Wenya, please, I only need Ding Yinuo’s news right now, nothing else!”

“Ayun, are you sure it is Gu Yuanzhou who wants to kill you?”

This question, Wenya has been asking three times.

I had to be patient and kept repeating,

“Absolutely, it was Gu Yuanzhou who sent Ayu to do it. He probably feared those scandals would be made public, so he ordered Ayu to kill us. It’s certainly him, beyond a doubt.”

Wenya sighed, “I just can’t understand it!”

“There is nothing to puzzle over, he is inherently ruthless. I was too naive back then, I made the mistake of trusting him, and I thought there was love in this world. Ha, that was just self-deception. Wenya, I see him clearly now, I no longer have feelings for him!”

“Then if he really wants to kill you, he could find out which hospital you are in. I guess, he would send somebody again, unless you are willing to hand over the information.”

“I’m not afraid of dying, let him come if he wants to!”

I croaked, already prepared for this.

Even if I die, I want to drag him down to hell with me.

Gu Yuanzhou, I hate you!
