Xiangxue left as requested. The moment she opened the door, the cold wind of early winter made all her pores shrink.
Xiangxue turned on her cell phone as she walked into the elevator. She flipped through the map on her phone, trying to find a pharmacy nearby that she could reach without driving.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the orange-yellow street lights in the community were swaying a little, and the ground was pitch black. It didn't look like a high-end community at all.
When Xiangxue came out of the apartment building, she couldn't help but pull her neck into her collar.
The temperature this year is much lower than in previous years at the same time.
Although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature outside is definitely below minus Celsius.
Xiangxue felt guilty about the place where Li Manzi was burned, so she lowered her head and browsed the web on her mobile phone while walking.
"Zi-"
Some wicked person poured water on the ground, and Xiangxue stepped on it carelessly and bumped into the lamppost.
On the surface, her injury didn't seem serious, but for some reason, Xiangxue leaned against the lamppost without moving.
There was no bleeding, but the dim street light reflected the bruise on her forehead.
After nearly ten minutes of silence in the cold wind, Xiangxue's cell phone rang.
"Ling ring ring~"
Xiangxue didn't open her eyes until the phone stopped ringing. She frowned and took out her phone with some pain.
The missed call was from Xianglian.
Xiangxue endured the dizziness in her head and dialed the phone back.
"Hey, your...boyfriend is in the hospital now."
The relationship between sisters Xianglian and Xiangxue has not eased. If Li Tao had not been in the hospital, Xianglian would not have taken the initiative to call her sister.
Xiangxue held her forehead and stood up shakily, "Boyfriend?"
Xiang Lian explained with some hesitation: "I'm his counselor, so the school hospital contacted me first..."
"It's Li Tao!"
Xiangxue shuddered, and her voice became nervous: "What's wrong with him?"
Xiang Lian sighed, looked at the man lying in the ICU through the glass and said, "He has just been pushed out of the emergency room. He will have a second operation later."
"What's wrong with him!???"
"Why are you mad at me? I want to know what's going on. How can you be a girlfriend? Don't you know what he's going to do today?"
Xiang Lian continued in a cold voice: "You still have the nerve to ask me."
Xiangxue hung up the phone, covering her forehead with her hands, her expression grim in pain.
"it hurts……"
Taking out a small brown light-proof bottle from her bosom, Xiangxue poured out a yellow pill. After hesitating for a moment, she poured out another one.
She swallowed the two pills dryly.
She called Li Manzi and said in a gentle voice, "Boss Li, the store next to the community is out of vinegar. I'll go buy some from a farther place. And the cold compress, I remember there's some in Liu Renna's refrigerator."
"Forget about the lack of vinegar. My cooking doesn't require too many seasonings." Li Manzi said proudly.
"I've already gone to look for her, and I think there's no one at Liu Renna's house right now. Last time I saw Li Tao hide a spare key on the fire hydrant on our floor, use that key to go in. Be sure to put a cold compress on your chest, in case you get another scar..."
"That makes sense. This area really needs to be kept white and tender. Otherwise, not only will he lose his appetite when doing it, but the children will also be afraid to eat in the future. I'm going to go to that crazy woman's house and steal one!"
Li Manzi hung up the phone in a hurry. Xiangxue limped out of the community and booked a taxi through her phone. While waiting, she rubbed her face tiredly.
The coolness on the back of her hand made Xiangxue stunned for a moment. She slowly raised her head, and crystal snowflakes fell down hesitantly.
"Is it time to snow?"
"Beep--"
The taxi arrived and Xiangxue hurriedly opened the door and got in.
"Master, please drive faster."
"Oh, okay, okay, there's paper on the back of the passenger seat, just hold on!"
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and his expression became tense.
Xiangxue looked up in confusion, but saw in the rearview mirror that her nose had started bleeding.
Chapter 199 Critical illness notification
In a residential complex like the one where Li Manzi lives, each apartment has two households on one floor.
Because of Liu Renna's troublesome memory, Li Tao had to prepare a spare key outside the door.
Li Manzi easily found the key from the fire hydrant, muttering, "Liu Renna has bad intentions. What is she thinking of taking my man out in the middle of the night~"
While complaining jealously, Li Manzi opened the door.
What made her most satisfied with Xiangxue as her secretary was her rigorous wording.
Xiangxue said that Li Tao and Liu Renna were not at home, so Li Manzi didn't even consider the possibility that there was someone in the house.
After opening the door, the lights in the living room were on.
"Humph, she is just a vulgar gangster sister, she doesn't even have the awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection."
This was not the first time she entered the house. Li Manzi walked to the kitchen skillfully and opened the refrigerator on her own.
"This is a cold compress, right?"
Li Manzi took out two cold compresses that were the same size as the facial masks in the picture, and started complaining about the items in the refrigerator.
"There's only soy sauce and wine, not even any vegetables or fruits. Liu Renna is an old woman, and she doesn't even have a balanced diet habit at her age. My son Li Tao is really suffering living with her..."
"boom--"
"Hiss—who hit me on the head!"
Li Manzi turned her head abruptly, and her eyes met with the expressionless Liu Renna...
Luma University, school hospital.
Xiangxue's face was frighteningly pale when she arrived at the hospital. The outpatient building was largely dark late at night, but the emergency room on the first floor was brightly lit and filled with people.
There is no doubt that a major accident must have happened.
Xiangxue found the doctor next to the emergency room. After asking about the ICU ward, Xiangxue took out the brown medicine bottle from her arms again.
After swallowing three pills in succession, Xiangxue hurriedly got on the elevator and dialed Xianglian at the same time.
"I'm at the hospital. Please wait for me at the elevator door on that floor."
Xiang Lian didn't say anything, and the elevator door slowly opened.
It turned out that she had been waiting here in advance.
"How is he doing? Why is he having a second surgery?"
After coming out of the elevator, Xiangxue asked impatiently.
"He..." Xiang Lian was halfway through her words when four or five doctors in white coats appeared in the corridor.
"You are the counselor of the injured person. We are transferring the injured person to the operating room for further surgery. You need to contact his family and the critical illness notice needs to be signed or confirmed by phone."
As soon as the critical illness notice came out, Xiang Lian couldn't hold back her tears. She was at a loss, unable to speak, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Both parents are dead."
Xiangxue's words stunned the doctor, but she turned around without hesitation and walked towards the ward to prepare for the operation.
The door of the emergency room was closed. Xiang Lian and Xiang Xue sat on the benches outside the door with their heads down and in silence.
"Tell me what you know, Xianglian." Xiangxue wiped the blood from her nose with paper without leaving a trace.
"In the afternoon, an explosion occurred in a nightclub near the Second Ring Road. Li Tao and a waitress from another club were the survivors."
"What was he doing at the nightclub this afternoon? Was that woman also being rescued?"
"The girl was just unconscious and had some scratches on her body. Although the explosion killed everyone in the nightclub, Li Tao and the other two should have been out when the explosion occurred..."
"What kind of injuries did Li Tao suffer?" Xiang Xue stood up excitedly.
"He was stabbed more than 30 times. When he was transferred to the ICU just now, more than 30 blades were stuck in the flesh and could not be removed. Woo woo~"
Xianglian covered her face and burst into tears.
"Who stabbed him? Who sent him to the hospital?" Xiangxue quickly walked up to Xianglian, shaking her shoulders and asked.
Xiang Lian cried hoarsely, "It was because of the explosion that caused the fire. The people who rushed to put out the fire called an ambulance. I heard that the nightclub had a life and death competition in the second half of the night. Maybe he was stabbed in the competition, wuwu~"
Xiangxue shook her head. She always felt something was wrong. But ever since she fell under the street lamp, her head had been cramping and hurting as if it was cramping.
"If what you said was true, Li Tao was stabbed in the nightclub, then how could he be one of the only two people who escaped the explosion?"
Xiangxue pointed out the key, but she was also relying on her remaining intuition. She couldn't analyze it further.
Xiangxue fell to the ground as if she had lost her soul. Xianglian was still thinking about what she said. When she heard the sound of her sister falling to the ground, she hurriedly helped her sister up.
"What's wrong? You...you're bleeding..."
Black blood kept flowing out of her nose, and Xiangxue's eyeballs were already showing signs of rolling up.
"Doctor, save him!"
Xianglian was like a child who had lost her mind. She turned her head around and screamed for help at the top of her lungs.
A cool and beautiful female doctor appeared in the corridor. She came to Xiangxue and supported her back.
"You are Qiulan, the top student in the medical school! Save her, please save her."
Qiulan gently touched Xiangxue's forehead, the bruise there had already turned purple.
"It looks like she fell, but the emergency room downstairs is full and most of the doctors are busy."
Not everyone died in the nightclub explosion. Anyone who was not torn to pieces and still had a human form had to be rescued, so no matter how many times Xiang Lian shouted, no one was free to help.
"I'm not a doctor at the school hospital. I just came here to submit a paper. I passed by this floor and heard your voice, so I came here."
"She is my sister, please save her, wuwu~" Xiang Lian is not fragile, but Li Tao is critically ill and her sister is in this state, she has indeed collapsed.
