Not far away, a person lay in a pool of blood, unconscious.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the zebra crossing, and when they saw this scene, they all screamed, "Someone’s been hit..."

William Guillen’s ears were buzzing, unable to hear anything, his eyes fixed intensely on the person lying in the pool of blood.

She lay on the ground, only half her face visible, obscured by strands of hair.

In his memory, just seconds before being pushed, he heard a familiar voice.

Be careful. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Was she telling him to be careful?

The driver in a panic got out of the car, reeking of alcohol, and ran towards the person lying on the ground. The crowd had already started to gather, calling the police and an ambulance.

William Guillen loosened his grip, throwing away his suit jacket. He was very familiar with the skirt on that person.

It seemed... Fluffy Zane had worn it before.

He moved forward unsteadily on his feet, forcefully pushing aside the crowd of onlookers, forging a path.

The passers-by cursed him, "What’s wrong with you, don’t you have any manners?"

"How can you push people like that?"

"Go, go, stop squeezing!"

These words, William Guillen couldn’t hear at all. He finally reached Fluffy Zane’s side, crouched down, extending a trembling hand to brush aside the hair on her face.

Under the street lamp, that familiar face gradually emerged in front of him.

His breath caught...

It was her.

It really was her!

"Fluffy..." he called hoarsely, "Fluffy, wake up, Fluffy!"

Fluffy Zane lay motionless in the pool of blood, William Guillen’s trembling hand reached under her nose; fortunately, there was still breath.

The sound of ambulance sirens drew closer and closer.

Doctors and nurses, trained and skilled, got out of the ambulance, lifting Fluffy Zane onto a stretcher and into the vehicle.

The driver involved was already being held by the traffic police. William Guillen immediately followed the doctor and nurse onto the ambulance.

Deep at night, the hospital.

In the corridor, William Guillen stood in front of the Emergency Room waiting.

Until now, he still hadn’t recovered from the shock, how did Fluffy Zane get injured...

Why was she so foolish, why did she push him away?

Every minute and every second passed, each one torturous for him.

William Guillen didn’t know how long he stood there until the door of the Emergency Room opened, and a little nurse rushed out in a hurry.

"Who is the patient’s family?"

He stepped forward heavily, quickly, "I am, how is she?"

"The situation is not optimistic, her leg injury is severe, and she needs immediate amputation, or the entire leg will suffer muscle necrosis. This is a family consent form. Take a look, and with your signature, our doctors can perform the surgery."

Given the urgency, and the patient’s condition being more serious than anticipated, the doctor decided on amputation after weighing the pros and cons.

However, before the amputation, the family consent form needed to be signed.

With a loud bang, as if thunderclap exploded in his mind.

William Guillen’s mind went blank, his whole body’s blood reversed, and coldness started from his feet.

Cold.

Bone-chilling cold.

His fingers trembled as he took the family consent form, only glanced briefly, then instantly balled it up and threw it harshly to the ground, "Amputation? Are you joking with me?!"

"Mister, please calm down. The situation is urgent. If her lower leg is not amputated immediately, the whole leg cannot be saved. If the situation worsens, it could lead to a full-body infection, and at that time, what is lost won’t be just a leg, but a life."

"Get out! You get out!"

William Guillen’s eyes turned blood-red; he shoved away the nurse who tried to advise him.

He staggered, turned around, beginning to walk out. After a few steps, he turned back again.
