Chapter 121: Moved
Fortunately, the firefighters arrived in time, and everyone was saved.
Athena, who was unconscious in the hospital, was protected by Andrei’s men. Andrei sat on the sofa in the hospital room, staring at Athena in a daze.
He had probably guessed who was behind the poisoning, but without concrete evidence, he couldn’t settle the score. However, this debt would eventually be settled.
In her unconscious state, Athena dreamed of a car accident. She and another person were thrown by a black sedan. The next moment, there was a pool of blood. She crouched in fear, trembling and crying, “Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave~~~~~”
Andrei frowned, looking at Athena, who was having a nightmare, with heartache. For five years, this dream had accompanied Athena. Every time he saw her tormented by nightmares, his heart felt as if it were pierced by tens of thousands of silver needles, causing a painful numbness in his nerves.
Ji Xiangyu came to the hospital despite his injuries. He looked at Athena sleeping in bed through the window, feeling relieved that she was alright.
The attending physician beside him said, “The patient is not seriously injured and has taken precautions. Young Master Ji doesn’t need to worry too much. However, that Mr. Andrei seems familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before?”
Ji Xiangyu remained silent, standing by the window, lost in thought as he looked at Athena.
Just as he was about to leave, Andrei also looked over. The two men, their sharp eyes meeting, created a powerful electric wave at that moment!
The attending physician asked with concern, “Young Master Ji, you seem to be injured. Perhaps you should get treated first!”
Ji Xiangyu glanced coldly at the attending physician, then smiled faintly, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury. I’ll be going back now. Thank you for your hard work, Dean!”
The Dean, who was also the attending physician, smiled slightly and watched Ji Xiangyu leave.
He then went to see Andrei again, finding the child very familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
Athena woke up a full five hours later. The moment she woke up in the middle of the night, she smelled the pungent medicinal scent and said uncomfortably, “Water!!”
Andrei’s driver immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Athena. Athena looked at Andrei weakly and said, “Thank you!”
Andrei remained silent, not formally accepting, but not denying either.
The driver, speaking too quickly, said, “It’s thanks to the Chairman who went in to block the sea of fire, otherwise you two would have met God by now!”
Andrei glared at the driver as a warning, and the driver immediately fell silent.
Athena, confused, asked, “The Chairman saved us?”
The driver truly dared not speak now. If he said anything that displeased the boss, he would lose his rice bowl.
Athena knew the driver was in a difficult position, so she asked Andrei, “Is that so?”
Andrei nodded indifferently, tidied up the newspaper, stood up, and sat beside Athena. He took the water cup from her hand and comforted her, “Be careful with everything from now on. Besides us, don’t trust anyone else. They all want to get rid of us. Remember, absolutely do not get entangled with Situ Jingyi. That woman is not what she appears to be. You must remember!”
Athena nodded, drinking the water with doubt. In fact, she was more concerned about the Chairman’s injuries. The dignified Chairman had risked his life to save her, and she felt a mix of emotions, filled with gratitude. She thought about visiting his residence after being discharged from the hospital to thank him in person.
She thought of something and then took Andrei’s hand, saying, “I want to bring some burn ointment back. Can you prescribe some for me?”
Athena was a patient now, and Andrei would surely indulge her wishes.
As soon as dawn broke, Athena strongly requested to be discharged. When going upstairs, she insisted that Andrei and the driver not accompany her. Andrei had no choice but to instruct Athena to be extra careful before leaving.
Athena walked towards the elevator with elegant steps, took out her card, and swiped it to enter.
She took out her phone and dialed the hotel’s human resources department. The supervisor, woken up early in the morning, reluctantly answered the call. However, upon hearing that the caller was a beautiful assistant, he immediately perked up and asked, “May I know what the Goddess needs so early in the morning?”
Athena said directly, “Tell me the Chairman’s exact location!”
The other party clearly paused, then said, “That’s confidential!”
Athena casually made up a story, “The Chairman asked me to deliver documents early this morning but didn’t say where, and insisted I be there on time. Can you imagine my predicament?”
The HR supervisor sympathetically gave her the room number and finally warned her not to reveal that he was the one who leaked the information.
After hanging up the phone, Athena went to another floor. It was very quiet around, and this building only had one resident per floor.
Athena lived on the tenth floor, and Ji Xiangyu lived on the fifteenth floor. Upon reaching the fifteenth floor, the elevator doors opened, revealing a door identical to her own, with a fingerprint lock and surveillance cameras covering every angle. It would be truly impossible to do anything bad in such a place.
As she approached the door to ring the doorbell, she found that it wasn’t locked at all. A bad feeling washed over her; could it be a robbery?
Athena cautiously walked inside. The spacious living room had a white piano, a sofa by the window, and a wine cabinet. Such simple decoration was unlike the residence of an heir, or perhaps it had just been ransacked?
Continuing to explore, she reached the master bedroom and quietly pushed the door open. No one was inside either. Athena, carrying the bag of burn ointment, looked around helplessly. Why was no one here?
Finally, she treated it like her own home and walked into the bathroom. The moment she opened the door, she saw this scene.
A man was shirtless, his body lean and strong, with perfect muscle definition and a healthy complexion. His physique was even more perfect than a supermodel’s. However, why was it covered in bloodstains? It was truly shocking to behold.
Athena covered her mouth, afraid she would scream. How could this be? Was he injured saving her?
If that were the case, how much suffering would she have to endure to repay him?
In an instant, Athena’s softest spot was touched. For the first time, such an outstanding man had risked his life to save her.
Ji Xiangyu intended to apply medicine to his burns, but after taking off his clothes, he found Athena staring at his upper body with wide eyes.
He wanted to pretend not to see her and apply the medicine himself, but her gaze was so intense that it made his throat dry.
He continued to ignore her presence, but the next moment, a pair of cold hands touched his muscles, and his entire body tensed up.
Athena, unable to bear it, looked at the severely burned Ji Xiangyu and said, “It must hurt a lot!”
Before Ji Xiangyu could say anything, Athena picked up the powder beside her and carefully applied it to his burns. With every wound she touched, her heart ached. It must have hurt terribly!
In the end, Athena directly used her hand to gently caress the wounds and blew on them softly, hoping to alleviate Ji Xiangyu’s pain.
Ji Xiangyu gritted his teeth, enduring the pain caused by the powder. He looked even more pitiable in this state!
For some reason, Athena started crying. For some reason, looking at Ji Xiangyu’s wounds made her heart ache, and she desperately wanted to do something for him.
She wished those injuries were on her instead!
Ji Xiangyu looked at Athena, who was crying for him, with a moment of surprise, thinking that the person standing before him was Qing Tian.
He reached out, wanting to hug her, but the next moment, after seeing her clearly, his hand stopped in mid-air and he said, “Go back! You just got out of the hospital and need to rest well!”
Athena looked up, met Ji Xiangyu’s eyes, and nodded silently, “Chairman, thank you!”
She then added, “Sincerely!”
Ji Xiangyu turned his back and said painfully, “I know!”
