"President Lu !", the resident surgeon of the hospital rushed towards Lu Wei as soon as he saw the man rush towards the operation theatre ,"Mrs. Lu is still under the knife. The surgeons are working upon her."
The man glanced at the operation theatre's door before he turned around to face the old man speaking to him ,"Na ?"
"I am Dr. Li Yong and I am the head of this hospital.", the man introduced himself courteously.
"Dr. Li , What...", Lu Wei adjusted his trembling and heavy voice as he found it difficult to even form words ,"What has happened to her ? I an... can you brief about her injuries ?"
"Sir... you have all my sympathies firstly.", the old man sighed ,"Actually , Mrs. Lu was stabbed into her lower abdon thrice , but that isn't the only injury found upon her body. She was hit by so hard tallic surface against her right leg. And the attacker had also attempted to strangle her to death by tightly tying a fabric scarf around her neck.
"She was in a very awful state when she was brought here. She could barely breathe initially. The dical team has stabilized the other wounds for now and are currently focussing upon her abdon injury , which is the prior concern here. I am sorry but I won't be able say anything about her chances of survival right now."
Lu Wei remained silent for soti before he sat down on the cold hospital bench beside him and covered his face with both his palms. Few seconds later , the hospital staff and crew mbers standing outside the operation theatre noticed that Lu Wei's shoulders were shaking. Was the man crying ? As they looked at Lu Wei breaking down like that , they couldn't help but feel as if their hearts were being pierced by thousands of needles , all at once. Damn ! This was too painful to watch...
"Brother !"
After roughly fifteen minutes of silence , a soft yet concerned voice resonated throughout the entire hospital corridor and the group of people watching Lu Wei turned around to search for the source of the voice. And to their shock , it was none other than the Military Chief and Business King of the Country X , standing at the end of the corridor. Of course ! Other than Rong Xinghe , who else had the right to address the almighty businessman Lu Wei as her brother ?
Lu Wei was obviously in no state to face his sister at this point of ti. How could he be weak in front of his Kidoo ? But contrary to his thoughts , Rong Xinghe was already expecting him to weaken up. She understood what he was going through more than anyone. The girl simply sat down beside the man and wrapped her arms around him tightly , pulling him into a hug.
"Calm down , brother.", the girl said ,"Just believe in your woman's strength and fighting spirit. She is way more courageous than all of us. Even more than . She will fight it , all of it. Trust ."
"Kiddo...", Lu Wei finally responded to the girl's efforts by placing a soft kiss against her forehead before hugging her back ,"She wasn't attacked , Xinghe. She was tortured. They... they didn't wanted her to live. They tried everything they could , in order to make sure she dies. Just what did my wife do ? What was her fault ?! You have no id... idea how I feel right now."
Rong Xinghe kept rubbing the man's shoulders before she looked at Xi Yuan standing opposite to her ,"I have seen Yuan in vegetative state for four consecutive months , brother. I have seen him lying unconscious while blood flowed down his body , after being shot twice by those attackers. I know exactly how you feel like. It is painful , very painful. Like soone is burning you down alive , or as if you are breaking into millions of pieces. It is suffocating. I know."
The mont the Rong Xinghe's words left her mouth , Xi Yuan looked straight into her eyes and realized that tears were already flowing down his woman's cheeks. So this was how she felt during all those months. Helpless , lonely , suffocated and frightened. He never realized how difficult those four months had been for his Xinghe.
Subconsciously , the man clenched his fists and cursed himself under the breath. It was all his fault. At a ti when he was supposed to beco her biggest strength , he was becoming her weakness. At a ti when she was supposed to console her brother , she was weakening up because of him. Just what was he to do now ?
Lu Wei could obviously feel the warm tear drops soaking his shirt , so he gently parted from the girl and wiped her tears , covering her with his suit ,"Won are more emotionally stronger than n , Kiddo. Back then , you were courageous enough to handle the entire Xi Corporations and Country X's ard forces altogether , simultaneously taking care of Yuan. I am not as strong as you. Without Tao , I might not be able to even live. I can't survive without her , Kiddo. I need my Tao. I really do."
"You have a daughter too , bro Lu.", Rong Xinghe remarked ,"Firstly , I hate it when you behave so negatively. Can't you think optimistically ? My sister-in-law will definitely fight back her death. She might have so internal injuries and she might face so difficulty in standing back on her feet again , but she will combat all of that like a warrior with a smile across her lips. Got it ?
"Secondly , I am heading to her hotel room for investigating this matter. I believe there is sothing more to it and that this matter requires my personal involvent. So you better stay strong , while I am not here. Its my darling Ningtao we are talking about here , President Lu."
As he listened to Rong Xinghe address Ningtao as her 'darling' , a wry smile crept across Lu Wei's mouth involuntarily ,"I promise. I will stay strong , for my little lady devil and for your darling. But..."
"But you will deal with the culprit yourself. I know.", Rong Xinghe smiled ,"Don't worry. You will be the one deciding the fate of whoever was behind all of this."
"And just stay with Yuan thoughout your investigation.", said Lu Wei as he fixed his gaze upon the man beside him , "I trust him with your security and ntal strength. This matter concerns Ningtao , so your emotions aren't completely stable right now , obviously. Let him be with you. Alright ?"
