Chapter 267: Even Dreams Are Restless ⑥
Peng Yu Yang was not a person who liked to joke. He knew this because they had been classmates for three years. If Peng Yu Yang had been a joking person, they would have become good brothers long ago. This was because he knew he was the type to act cool, and it was the optimistic type like Zhang Hai Yang who would easily become friends with him.
His mind was now replaying the voice message Peng Yu Yang had sent: “Li Kai, I’m at the Provincial Second Hospital, Nie Qiu… Nie Qiu was drugged by that bastard Ye Haifei… maybe… maybe by… Ye Haifei…”
By Ye Haifei what?
He didn’t need to think about the rest of the words to know. His heart sank to the bottom. He didn’t know if it was sadness or grief, he only knew that he had to see Nie Qiu now, he had to confirm that she was alright, that she was still alright.
Upon hearing Li Kai’s words, Li Ming Xue tore the face mask off her face, took the key from Li Kai’s hand, and quickly walked towards the doorway. Their floor had an exclusive elevator, one going up and one going down. She opened the elevator door and stepped inside, arriving downstairs in a short while.
Li Kai followed Li Ming Xue, and they both entered the underground garage and got into the car. Li Kai’s heart trembled, and he pleaded, “Sis, drive faster.”
Li Ming Xue nodded, said nothing, but started her car and stepped on the accelerator.
Ye Haifei stood on the road opposite the Provincial Second Hospital, staring intently at the hospital’s brightly lit white incandescent lamps, which were as bright as daytime. The light was so dazzling it stung his eyes, causing him to shed tears involuntarily.
Less than half an hour after Nie Qiu entered surgery, the doctors from the operating room came out. They frowned and looked at Peng Mama and Peng Yu Yang, asking, “Are you the family members of the patient from earlier?”
“Yes!”
“No…”
Peng Yu Yang answered “Yes,” while Peng Mama answered “No.” The doctor frowned and said, “The patient is in life danger, and we need to perform surgery immediately. We require a family member’s signature.”
Life danger?!
Peng Yu Yang stumbled back a few steps, his lips trembling uncontrollably, “Life danger? What life danger? How is that possible?”
“You’re lying!” Peng Yu Yang suddenly shouted excitedly, “You’re lying! How could Nie Qiu be in life danger? She… she only suffered a minor injury, just a minor injury, how could she be in life danger?!”
Li Kai and Li Ming Xue, who had rushed into the hospital and found the operating room, stopped dead in their tracks upon hearing Peng Yu Yang’s words. Li Ming Xue instinctively turned to look at her younger brother.
“It’s fine, Nie Qiu is just sleeping. She’ll be fine when she wakes up.” Li Kai felt Li Ming Xue’s gaze, turned to look at her, and smiled slightly, his eyes holding an inexplicable brilliance. “Nie Qiu is very healthy. I once saw her fight against several people like Chen Li by herself. It was so cold during the study tour that everyone caught a cold, but she didn’t. So when she wakes up, she’ll be fine, right? Sis?” He looked at Li Ming Xue, his dark eyes so bright that it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
Li Ming Xue, who was several years older than Li Kai, shivered under his gaze. Her younger brother was clearly smiling, yet she felt as if the brother before her was crying. She thought that if Nie Qiu didn’t wake up, this smiling brother might go mad or lose all his reason.
