Chapter 744: Chapter 746: Beaten (5)
Seeing her expression at this moment, even if he were to endure more pain, he would be happy. He weakly gripped her hand, his voice feeble, but insisted on declaring word by word, “Wei Hui, I’m very happy.”
What could he be joyful about in his current state? But within Lu Weixi was a bitter sweetness. She knew what he was trying to say. In fear of exacerbating his condition, she didn’t respond verbally. Instead, she rested her head against him, letting his hand rest lightly on her cheek, stroking gently.
Her face was filthy, coated with rain and tears, the mud splattering from their scuffle, and even the traces of the blood he had smeared on her. Her hair too, was a damp and muddied mess. But when her cheek touched his palm, he treated it with a gentle stroke, as if caring for a rare treasure.
“Wei Hui, I…” he started.
However, before Qin Zhiyou could speak further, the vehicle soon arrived at the hospital. The stretcher was lowered and Lu Weixi rushed alongside it, watching as he was wheeled into the elevator, then rolled out and rushed into the emergency room.
Outside, Lu Weixi took a deep breath only after seeing him being wheeled into the emergency room. She didn’t leave, she merely paid the ambulance fee and gave a little extra, “I hope you will not let any news about this leak.”
The nurse in the ambulance, not immune to gossip herself, finally made sense of the extra money, “So he really is…”

“He just got into a little fight after a bit of drinking. That’s all. Please, don’t spread this around. This is just a small token of gratitude.”
The ambulance wasn’t called by Lu Weixi. Someone else arranged the vehicle and the nearby hospital for them. Although out on the scene, Secretary Wang could help her deal with most of the matter, the hospital and ambulance staff needed her to soothe.
“Sure thing. We have medical ethics,” the nurse cheerfully replied. Regardless, receiving a bit of extra money and getting up-close gossip made her day.
“Thank you.”
The nurse added with a question, “By the way, are you Ms. Qin?”
The pair did not seem like an arrangement of Qin Zhiyou’s romantic escapades, but rather his wife. After all, a mistress wouldn’t likely care about his public image and corporate issues.
They did not resemble those casual ladies he would seek outside.
Without answering, Lu Weixi, while waiting, contacted Secretary Wang and learnt that he had arranged to suppress the news and even took care of the car. She then let him know which hospital she was at.
In the meantime, Lu Weixi also asked Secretary Wang to liaise with the hospital, to keep their location a secret and secure a private room, or potentially arrange for a transfer. Given Qin Zhiyou’s current status, sharing a ward with others would only invite unnecessary troubles.
The most important thing: she needed to assess his injuries.
Those three bastards who injured him, she would never let them off easily!
By the time she was done dealing with everything outside, his wounds were dressed. Seeing the doctor emerge, she stepped forward, “Doctor, how is he?”
“The injuries on his body are not serious. But his head suffered a slight concussion, he may have vomiting, mild cognitive impairment, and the like. The CT scan showed some minor blood clots in his brain. His condition is improving, but he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for the day.”
It was only then Lu Weixi breathed a sigh of relief, hearing his voice from within. She took a step forward, originally intending to enter, but after second thoughts, she adjusted her messy hair and clothes before pushing the door open to enter.
