Chapter 648: It Is Really Her
“You only found a woman? Then how about the man, have you found him?”
“What, you didn’t?” Lei Qingyi still carried some hope, “Have you searched everywhere around this area? Is there anywhere you missed?”
“Alright, I get it,” Lei Qingyi cut them off. “I don’t want to listen to any excuses, I want you to try your best, and put in all your effort into the search. Stop giving me excuses! Go and find him now! Find him no matter what!”
He hung up the phone with a slam. He hurried to grab his car keys so that he could depart to the hospital. After a few steps, he retraced his steps and pulled out his phone from his bag, wondering whether he should give Yi Ling and others a call, telling them that they have found Yan Huan, that Yan Huan is alive. But what if that person was not Yan Huan? What if they mistook her as someone else? This news would, without a doubt, push them from the hell they were already in into a deeper layer of hell.
Yi Ling was already in deep remorse. She kept blaming herself for being the reason of Yan Huan’s and Lu Yi’s death. However, everyone knew that no one did that on purpose. None had expected that, this was truly an accident.
If someone must bear the responsibility, then it should be Lei Qingyi. If only he had warned his family, Yi Ling, and his mother about the dangers of the riverside. If only he had told them not to go there, then they would not have gone there. Then, Yan Huan would not have fallen into the flood to save them, and Lu Yi would still be here instead of dying to save her.
In other words, it was his fault, everything was his fault. He was terribly wrong, so much so that he was totally unforgivable.
Now he wanted to know what to do, to make amends and fix all of this.
However, could he really fix everything? How was he going to do that? Two lives were gone. How was he going to compensate a son and daughter-in-law to his big aunt?
He walked out after wiping his face. As he was heading out, the sunlight outside was so glaring that it stung his eyes.
He squinted his eyes, relieved to see that the sky had finally brightened up. At that moment, the whole Sea City was brimming with the smell of soil and mud. That was the smell of the Sea River. When the sky brightened up, people started to walk out from their gloominess.
The sky had brightened up, and everyone returned to what they were supposed to do.
The students went to school while the adults went to work.
The sky brightened up, and perhaps those who could not go home were going home now.
Suddenly, he felt a little teary, and his eyes hurt a little. However, he still managed to hold it in, and walked toward his car in big strides.
After he stopped the car, and both of his feet stepped on the ground, they were trembling, as if he was standing barefoot in the winter snow, as if he stepped into a chilly swimming pool.
The same questions cycled over and over in his mind: Was it her? Would it be her? Was the lady her?
He clenched his hands, struggling to decide what to do. He was standing in front of the hospital gate. He used to daringly go anywhere with his two feet. But now, he was afraid to even take a step into that hospital.
The sun shone through the clouds and scattered its rays on his shoulders, eventually reaching the ground. He then again raised his hand above his eyes to block the glare of the sun, before he walked into the hospital with his own feet.
He showed his identification, and the nurse took him to the ward.
“The patient’s breathing is very weak, and she has many bruises all around her body. Because she was soaked in the water for too long, her skin was bloated, so you might not recognize her. Since she’s still in a coma and there’s no identification documents with her, so we still can’t confirm who is she, or where is she from. The only information we have is that she is a woman, and her age is around 25. We have zero information about her apart than that.”
Lei Qingyi paced around, then stood in front of that woman who was wearing an oxygen mask. His whole body was still trembling. He looked at her eyes, realizing that she looked just like Yan Huan, as they both had long eyelashes. However, just like what the nurse said, her body was bloated, thus he could only tell that her eyes were pretty. Other than that, he could not recognize her.
Just like what the nurse told him, there were bruises everywhere, bruises that could frighten anyone who saw them.
He moved his hand toward the oxygen mask. “Can I remove this?” He turned his head, asking the nurse for permission. If he could not take it down, then he had to wait and see if she was Yan Huan, but he had no idea how long he had to wait.
He was desperate to know if this lady was Yan Huan, if Yan Huan was still alive.
“Sure, but please don’t remove it for too long.” The nurse hurried to the patient’s side to make sure that she was still able to perform first aid if anything happened.
Lei Qingyi took the oxygen mask off the lady’s face carefully. Her breathing was really weak. If not for the soft breathing sound she was making, and the faint motions of her chest moving up and down, and her heartbeat showing up on the monitor, Lei Qingyi would really think that she was dead.
How is it be possible for someone to be that pale? How can a living person look so ill?
Is she really alive? Or is she dead?
Endless questions streamed into Lei Qingyi’s mind. Lei Qingyi had always been simple minded. He had never, until now, been surrounded by so many questions, and he had no idea if he should stay or leave.
He was terrified that she might be Yan Huan, and at the same time, he hoped that she was Yan Huan.
But, is she her? Is she? Is that really her?
She did look like Yan Huan. But at the same time, he was not sure.
He summoned his courage. Using his trembling fingers, he took off the mask. A slightly deformed face appeared in front of him, but the sense of similarity was there. He quickly turned away, holding his face with a hand. His shoulders were visibly shaking.
“Mister Lei, are you alright?”
The nurse asked Lei Qingyi out of concern. Is he not feeling well?
Lei Qingyi waved his hand to signal that he was fine.
He finally calmed down after some time.
“Can we transfer the patient now? I want to transfer her to another hospital.”
“Transfer to another hospital?” the nurse was going to ask why. But before she could ask anything, Lei Qingyi interrupted her, “I know this patient and she has a special identity, so I would like to transfer her to another hospital if there’s no problem with it.”
