Cheng Wei has never seen Xiao Mei this nervous before.
They were currently heading toward the hospital where Zhang Yulan was taken to.
Xiao Mei was constantly making some movements that were showing her anxiety.
She was beyond restless.
"...everything will be alright. I have talked to the doctor and he said there is no immediate danger."
Cheng Wei tried to calm her down since seeing her in this state made his heart wrench in pain.
Xiao Mei was slightly relieved to hear his words. However, until she doesn't see Zhang Yulan with her own eyes, she won't be able to calm down.
She didn't reply to Cheng Wei and just kept looking outside to see when they reached the hospital. Thankfully, it didn't take long.
Outside the hospital, several men in black uniform stood and one of them was holding a box.
Xiao Mei got out of the car before the man opened the box and placed a pair of sneakers before Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei turned to look at Cheng Wei, only to hear him saying, "Wear them; I will get you treated later on."
Although Cheng Wei didn't want her to move with her foot injured, he didn't want to embarrass her by lifting Xiao Mei in public. It would seem that he is taking advantage of her emotional instability.
Xiao Mei nodded to his advice before sliding her feet into the sneakers and wincing in pain slightly.
However, she didn't linger at the spot for long and marched inside the hospital, followed by Cheng Wei.
Two nurses and a doctor were awaiting them near the entrance and one of them immediately came forward to inform Xiao Mei,
"She is on the third floor. Please follow me."
Xiao Mei didn't utter a single word and followed the nurse. She was thankful to Cheng Wei who arranged everything before they reached here.
Following them, Cheng Wei along with the doctor—who was barely holding himself from faltering his steps—followed Xiao Mei and the nurse to the upper floor.
This was a small and private hospital so surely hearing that the chairman of the Cheng group of industry is arriving here, set every single staff of the hospital on high alert.
The director who generally likes to sleep until late, also arrived at the hospital immediately and presented himself before Cheng Wei.
'The young lady...must be his relative?' The doctor wondered about the relationship between Cheng Wei and the caramel-shade-haired girl who came with Cheng Wei.
Their marriage wasn't publicly announced and very few people know that Cheng Wei is actually married.
Regardless, the half-bald Director wasn't going to spread the news about this incident. After all, a single mistake can cost him all the fortune he has earned in his lifetime. And if he behaves properly then he might gain more than he could have ever earned even if he had worked to the bone for the rest of his life.
"She is inside." Once they reached the third floor, and after walking a further little in the lobby, the nurse gestured toward one of the doors.
Xiao Mei looked at Cheng Wei with a hesitant and nervous look.
In response, Cheng Wei walked toward her and rested his hand on her shoulder in assurance.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. I am just right outside, so call me if you need anything."
Xiao Mei smiled at him weakly before she nodded and faced forward.
Pushing the door, she walked in and was met by another nurse who was checking on Zhang Yulan.
The nurse wordlessly bowed to Xiao Mei since she knew this woman was someone close to Cheng Wei before she stepped aside.
Xiao Mei walked toward Zhang Yulan's bed and witnessed the injuries her friend had faced.
There were several layers of white bandages on her head. Her complexion was ghastly pale and some bandages were tied over her arm and ankle.
Xiao Mei's eyes moistened witnessing her friend in this condition. She has yet to realize that Zhang Yulan matters to Xiao Mei more than she initially thought.
Turning toward the nurse, Xiao Mei asked in a sobbing voice, "W-what came in her report?"
The nurse looked troubled about whether she should explain things to Xiao Mei—which made her concerned even more.
Suddenly, the nurse's eyes landed on the handsome man, who just entered inside and wordlessly told her to go out.
The nurse gulped under his domineering aura before she hastily nodded and instantly disappeared from the room.
Xiao Mei turned to stop the nurse when suddenly her eyes landed on Cheng Wei.
"Mr. Cheng..." Helplessly, she reached out to him, wanting to know what happened to her friend.
Cheng Wei took a big sigh, before informing her, "There is no lasting damage inflicted on her body. Blood loss, and some minor fractures. She might need to remain on a liquid diet since the assaulter has injured her stomach and it might affect her bowel movements. But nothing of it, can't be healed."
Xiao Mei felt a mixture of emotions. On one side she was relieved that Zhang Yulan wouldn't suffer from any lasting injury. However, hearing that she was so brutally assaulted made her heart clench in sorrow.
Cheng Wei's voice helped her break out of her daze as she heard some words, that helped her calm down,
"I take it upon myself to restore her health completely, so be rest assured."
Xiao Mei heaved a long exhale before she inched closer to him and rested her head against his chest. Her small fist clutched the fabric of his jacket as she experienced the sensation of relying on someone else, for the first time.
Xiao Mei(in her last life) was used to handle every burden all by herself. That's why she felt she wouldn't be able to depend on someone else entirely.
...however, relying on Cheng Wei didn't feel bad. Rather, Xiao Mei has a feeling that until this man is by her side, she won't need to worry about anything.
On the other hand, Cheng Wei was quite complicated about where to put his hand, which Xiao Mei also noticed which made her chuckle.
"Seriously, Mr. Cheng."
Seeing her smile returning to her face, Cheng Wei stood there foolishly. He didn't know what made her laugh, but until she could smile like that, he was content with it.
Xiao Mei soon turned silent before she turned to look at her friend. Her expression sobered up as she remembered the words, Cheng Wei said about her condition.
Solemnly, she asked her husband,
"...Mr. Cheng...can you find out who did this to her?"
Cheng Wei looked hesitant but he thought it would be better to tell her, "It was Wang Lin."
Xiao Mei had a hunch but hearing it from Cheng Wei made her sure about what kind of bastard Wang Lin actually is.
Clenching her fist, she uttered some words that originated from pure hatred,
'You will pay a hundredfold for what you have done to Yuyu.'
