"Get Mr. Shi to the hospital quickly, he’s in critical condition!"

Nianyang shouted with an ugly expression. Her herbal medicine clinic was in shambles, the herbs were destroyed, and she couldn’t stop Shi Feng’s bleeding.

With so many people around, it was impossible for her to use her special ability to treat him.

Shi Feng was convulsing in pain. Hearing Nianyang’s anxious tone, he couldn’t help but lean against her, squeezing a weak smile onto his lips, "Nianyang, it feels great to be cared for by you. If I knew this would touch you, I would have done it long ago."

After speaking, his vision went black, and he immediately fell into unconsciousness.

Hospital.

Shi Feng was wheeled into the operating room; Deputy Director Wang went to deal with Mrs. Li, while Ma Shu, Jiang Tian, and others handled the follow-up.

Nianyang sat alone outside, her face cold and numb.

To be honest, it might be a bit heartless, but despite Shi Feng risking his life for her, her heart felt no warmth, no gratitude, no emotional stir, only a heavy burden.

She’s always disliked owing favors to others, especially when it involves tangled and complicated emotions.

After sitting for a while, the Shi family members who were contacted arrived; Shi Anguo and his wife went abroad for a conference and couldn’t return in time, so it was Shi Yue and Shi Nuan who came.

"Nianyang, I heard your clinic had an incident, are you okay?" Shi Nuan was naturally the first to express concern for Nianyang.

Nianyang shook her head, saying she was fine. Shi Yue sneered, "What could happen to her? It was my brother who blocked for her. It’s my brother who’s in trouble, not her; maybe you’re asking the wrong person."

Nianyang felt guilty and said nothing, Shi Nuan patted her shoulder to comfort her. They waited outside for two hours before the doors of the operating room opened, and the masked doctor walked out.

"How is he, Doctor? Is my brother okay?" Shi Yue asked nervously.

Nianyang said nothing, quietly waiting for the doctor’s response.

The doctor said, "The patient is not in any grave danger, just a mild concussion along with significant blood loss. Proper rest for half a month should suffice. Once he’s transferred to a regular ward, you can take care of him."

"That’s good to hear, thank you, Doctor." Shi Yue said gratefully. This third young lady, often defiant, yet so courteous to the doctor, clearly has a deep relationship with Shi Feng.

Nianyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was fortunate he was okay, or her guilt would be severe. She didn’t want to be entangled with Shi Feng.

"Since Mr. Shi is fine, I’ll be leaving now." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Nianyang stood up wearily, stating she needed some peace with her chaotic mind.

Shi Yue glared angrily, "Chu Nianyang, do you have a conscience? My brother got hurt, and for you. Shouldn’t you stay to take care of him?"

Although Shi Yue didn’t like Nianyang, she wondered why her brother liked her?

She felt sorry for her brother, knowing for sure that he would want to see Nianyang the first moment he woke up, so it was better for Nianyang to stay. Besides, wasn’t it Nianyang’s debt to her brother?

Nianyang, with a very cold tone, said, "Aren’t you here? You’re his own sister; he and I are nothing, is there any reason I should stay to care for him?"

Shi Yue, infuriated, snapped, "You woman, how can you be so selfish? My brother saved you and really had blind eyes."

Nianyang paid no attention to Shi Yue’s yelling, turned around indifferent, and walked away. She knew very well that she was being harsh and cold, but she always disliked dragging things out.
