Chapter 725 I Will Always Be with Her 1
Thankfully, Chuan kept a close watch on Muchen and grabbed him immediately. "Boss, where are you going?"
Muchen shouted, "I'm going to look for her. The weather is cold. She could get ill from the chill!"
His body sustained severe injuries and remained weak after resting the whole day. He could not break from Chuan's hold and turned to him furiously.
"Chuan, let me go! It's an order!"
"Boss, you can't leave." Chuan would not have stopped Muchen if he was not injured.
However, Muchen had numerous injuries. Moreover, it was snowing. He feared Muchen would die if he were to let Muchen go.
Chuan and the others were bystanders. Although they were sad about what had happened, they were much more rational than him.
Ultimately, they had to call a doctor to inject Muchen with a tranquilizer to get him under control.
Muchen calmed down temporarily after the shot.
Chuan and the others watched him closely and did not dare to relax, fearing he would run out again. After a while, they finally dared to let down their guard.
Since no one had eaten, everyone discussed to go out for a meal.
Chuan stayed behind to watch Muchen.
Meanwhile, Shichu stopped asking questions. He guessed the answer after witnessing Muchen's reaction.
The knowledge left him defeated. Chuan and the others did not know what to say. They could only send Shichu back to Lumiere Jade House.
Muchen soon regained consciousness.
The doctor had administered a low dose of tranquilizer out of concern for his condition.
Chuan stood in a corner with his back facing Muchen, talking on the phone. Muchen could vaguely hear him giving instructions.
However, he could not tell what it was about. Suddenly, Chuan seemed to sense something and turned around. He saw Muchen was soundly asleep and left the room to continue the phone conversation.
Once the door closed, Muchen opened his eyes and appeared fully awake.
Chuan had left his car keys on the bedside table.
Muchen grabbed them, got off the bed, and rushed out of the room.
The tranquilizer's effects had not completely worn off, but they did not bother Muchen.
He ran to the staircase as soon as he left the room.
Chuan was still on the phone. He heard noises from the door and turned to find Muchen running away.
He did not even have time to hang up the call and chased after Muchen.
"Boss!"
Chuan called out urgently, but Muchen ignored him.
Muchen ran fast and reached the main entrance. He saw Chuan's car parked nearby.
When Muchen caught up with him, he got into the car and sped away.
Chuan bent over with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily. His expression was conflicted.
Coincidentally, Jingshu and the others returned after a meal and found Chuan standing at the main entrance. They figured out what had happened without asking.
Thus, everyone rushed out to chase after Muchen.
…
Muchen drove the car toward the site where Ziyue had gone down the cliff.
He drove at high speed and sped all the way there.
Although he had never been to the bottom of the cliff, he knew the way there as he had lived in Yunzhou City for many years.
He had only one thing in mind. He needed to get to Ziyue and see her.
Muchen drove along the winding mountain road. The traffic grew sparse as he traveled on. Eventually, there was no one around, and the paved road ended. He exited the car and proceeded on foot.
There was less snow in the valley, and the temperature was warmer.
He was not sure how long he walked. Gradually, the sun rose, and he saw Yunan.
The distant mountain peak was still capped with snow. The rising sun covered its surface with a sheen of gold, making it a spectacular sight.
The trees cast long shadows on the ground.
Muchen saw Yunan and his men approaching his direction. At the same time, his legs became leaden. He could not take another step.
Yunan soon noticed Muchen.
He rushed over and looked shocked as he asked, "Why are you here?"
As he came closer, he realized Muchen wore only a thin patient's gown. His face was deathly pale, but
his eyes were unusually bright.
Yunan looked at him and frowned. Such perseverance was not uncommon among soldiers who frequently had to complete missions while wounded. However, Muchen was a wealthy businessman. Yunan could not help but be surprised to see him with such persistence.
"Did you escape from the hospital?"
Muchen's voice was hoarse. "Have you found her?"
His eyes glimmered hopefully as he glanced behind Yunan. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
He had seen people carrying a stretcher when he was still far off.
Yunan seemed a little conflicted. His expression turned solemn as he answered, "Yes, we found her."
Muchen's expression turned grim. He clasped his hands and walked toward the stretcher.
However, Yunan immediately grabbed hold of him. "She's alive. Don't go there. We are returning to the city."
Muchen's eyes burned with determination. "I want to see her."
Yunan could not stop him and had no choice but to let him go.
Yunan was telling the truth. Ziyue was still alive.
He looked at the woman on the stretcher, rendered unrecognizable by the wounds and blood all over her body. Still, Muchen had known Ziyue so well that he could sense it was her deep within his bones.
The accompanying doctor had strapped an oxygen mask over her face. However, there was no visible rise and falls on her chest.
Muchen's hand trembled as he reached for her neck. He almost kneeled in relief when he felt her weak pulse, but he stabilized himself and walked alongside the people carrying her.
Yunan noticed how weak Muchen seemed and could not help but ask with concern, "Can you still walk?"
"Yes," Muchen answered softly. His footsteps became firm.
Seeing that, Yunan did not say anything else.
They came across Chuan and the others on their way back.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered Ziyue was alive.
However, their hearts sank again when they saw the severity of her injuries.
Although she was still alive, no one dared to consider whether she would survive.
…
No one spoke on the journey back. Muchen stayed by Ziyue's side and refused to leave.
Chuan brought food and a change of clothes. Muchen changed his clothes but did not touch the food.
The doctors were already on standby as instructed at the hospital in the city when they arrived.
Ke's expression changed slightly when she noticed the person standing before the other doctors.
Xiyi also noticed Ke but quickly looked away and stepped forward to meet them. "How's Mr. Qin?"
Chuan shook his head and did not speak.
Xiyi's expression blanched and turned grim upon seeing Ziyue.
The doctors immediately brought Ziyue to the operating theatre.
Muchen was expressionless as he sat outside the operating theatre. He ignored anyone who spoke to him and remained there for over twenty hours.
Once the operating theatre's door opened, he was the first to rush to it.
Xiyi tiredly pulled off his surgical mask and explained, "The surgery is a success, but she still requires observation. Once her condition stabilizes, we need to do another surgery."
