I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 181 Hope

Luo Xiaolei was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of ER. Everyone, including Yu Chen’s men was wearing an extremely worried expression.

Every second that was passing by was like a ticking time bomb to them and their heartbeats were becoming more and more chaotic. Yu Chen’s valiant men had never been in such a hopeless situation before. They couldn’t believe that one day, they would be in this kind of situation, just helplessly staying put, waiting for a miracle to come.

They were so glad that their lady boss woke up and thought of someone who might be able to help, or else, they didn’t even want to think of what could have happened. It still might; nothing was a sure thing until it became true, after all.

This wasn’t the time for them to relax yet. Time was passing by and the couple they were waiting for were still not here. They knew that the chopper wasn’t as fast as lightning but the longer they waited, the more hopeless they felt for their boss. At that moment, they could only hope and pray.

Their lady boss had stopped crying. She was like a wounded little fierce puppy desperately holding herself together, trying not to break down again. In her eyes, they could see that there was no sign of her giving up.

After a few minutes, they finally saw Zaki rushing towards them.

"What happened to Yu Chen?" Zaki asked the moment he reached them and Gu Wei didn’t waste a moment and immediately brought Zaki inside the room.

Luo Xiaolei was about to follow them but a nurse politely stopped her.

"Xiaolei!" She heard Hinari’s voice and when she turned around to see Hinari rushing towards her, Xiaolei couldn’t hold in her tears anymore.

Hinari embraced her the instant she reached the desolate girl. "It’s okay. Everything will be alright." Hinari caressed her back gently and Luo Xiaolei just cried in her embrace for a long while. Xiaolei was incredibly upset and the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing but having Hinari there with her gave her newfound strength. She wasn’t alone anymore and she wasn’t going to give in. As if she had somehow received some healing energy from Hinari’s embrace, Xiaolei slowly straightened up and her crying turned into sobs.

After some time, Gu Wei and Zaki finally stepped out.

"How’s is it?" Hinari was the one who asked.

"They’re going to start the surgery now." Zaki replied. He was being supported by Gu Wei, slightly weakened from donating blood.

"Are you alright?" Hinari worriedly asked when she saw how pale her already pale husband was, but Zaki just smiled at her.

"I’m fine." he said as a nurse approached them and handed Zaki a glass of green liquid.

They all sat on the bench outside the ER as they waited for the surgery light to turn off.

Luo Xiaolei was quiet, silently praying for Yu Chen. She was calm now so Hinari didn’t disturb her anymore. Hinari’s husband was drowsy so she let him rest his head on her shoulder.

Time passed and they heard another commotion. A group of people were rushing towards the operating room. It looked like Yu Chen’s medical team had arrived. Luo Xiaolei saw that Yang Jin was among them, so she stood to meet him.

"Miss Luo," he called out, panting, but when he saw that the surgery light was still on, he nodded at her and quickly entered the ER along with a few men holding some medical boxes in their hands.

Gu Jinyang also arrived along with more men in black including Kyuu and Juu. The men were all armed and she could tell there were probably more of them outside.

Gu Wei stood to meet his brother when he suddenly collapsed. Gladly, Luo Xiaolei was near him so she managed to catch him. She only just finally noticed that Gu Wei was drenched with his blood. He was wounded.

The man was moving just fine and acting just fine all this time so she thought that the blood on his clothes weren’t his but it appeared that he was shot?!

After Gu Jinyang carried his young brother inside the ER, Luo Xiaolei began to realize that she didn’t see Guan Ye either. All the men with them inside that van wasn’t around. Where were they?

...

Luo Xiaolei woke up shouting Yu Chen’s name. She was having a nightmare again.

When she looked around and saw that she was on that same bed again and that it was already morning, she frantically climbed out of her bed.

Her head spun with her sudden movement and she was about to fall when someone caught her. When she looked up, she saw that it was Juu.

"How’s Yu Chen? Where is he?" she asked and the man quietly helped her out and led her towards another room.

Gu Jinyang, Yang Jin and the rest were inside. They were so quiet that the only thing that could be heard inside the room was the sound of the beeping machine.

Xiaolei’s eyes then fell to the man on the bed. Her Yu Chen was there, hooked up to different devices.

Everyone looked at Xiaolei as she slowly stepped towards Yu Chen. She stood right next to his bed and her gaze was glued onto his peaceful sleeping face. She watched him silently for an immeasurable amount of time before she finally broke the silence.

"Dr. Yang, how is he?" she asked without averting her gaze away from Yu Chen, her voice low.

"His condition is now stable, Miss Luo... but... we don’t know yet when will he wake up."

Luo Xiaolei turned to look at Yang Jin with wide eyes. "W-what? What do you mean you don’t know when will he wake up?" she stammered.

A short silence followed before Yang Jin stepped closer to her.

"Miss Luo, Yu Chen is in a coma." He said and Xiaolei’s pupils dilated.
