The ward was quiet.

A burst of burning pain pulled Ge Jing out of the endless dark abyss.

The girl's long eyelashes trembled for a long time like a butterfly with broken wings before she could finally open a gap with difficulty.

The vision was blurry at first.

Immediately, the unique pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated into my nostrils, and all I could see was a monotonous white.

As her memory gradually returned, Ge Jing realized that she had finally escaped from the fire and was admitted to the hospital.

Great.

She is not dead.

"Ge Jing! Are you awake?"

A hoarse male voice sounded in my ears.

Ge Jing turned her head slightly and what came into her sight was Jiang Yu, who looked surprised.

There were dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his chin, and it was obvious that he had been guarding here for a long time.

A warm feeling surged in Ge Jing's heart.

She remembered that she was so frightened that she subconsciously called Jiang Yu.

At that time, she was also unsure.

She didn't know whether Jiang Yu would come, whether he could come in time, and whether she would be saved.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu came and saved me.

Ge Jing raised the corners of her lips and wanted to smile at Jiang Yu.

Unexpectedly, a sharp pain suddenly came from the cheek.

She gasped and was almost speechless.

Jiang Yu hurried forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell? I'll go call a doctor for you."

"Need not……"

Ge Jing reluctantly shook her head and said weakly, "I feel fine, but my face hurts a little..."

When Jiang Yu heard the word "face", his eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Then, he smiled gently, reached out and gently smoothed the girl's sweat-soaked hair on her forehead, and said in a light tone, "It's okay, it's just a minor burn. We'll take good care of it, and it will heal soon. Don't worry."

"Ah."

Ge Jing felt a little relieved.

She raised her hand and touched her face unconsciously.

However, what the fingertips touched was not the familiar texture of skin, but layers of tightly wrapped thick gauze and bandages.

It almost covered her entire face!

Ge Jing froze.

A cold panic gripped her heart and quickly spread throughout her body.

"my face……"

Ge Jing's voice trembled, and her words were filled with disbelief and panic. "Why is my face covered in bandages? Is it all burned?"

Seeing Ge Jing pressing her face hard, Jiang Yu immediately stopped her: "Ge Jing, don't touch me so hard. Take your hand back quickly."

Hearing this, Ge Jing looked at Jiang Yu again: "Why can't I touch it? What happened to my face? Is the burn serious? Is it? Tell me!"

Seeing the fear in the girl's eyes, Jiang Yu felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

He didn't know how to explain it to Ge Jing, so he could only suppress the sob in his throat and said ambiguously, "It's a burn, but the doctor said it's not a big deal. With careful treatment and some recovery time, it will be fine."

"Where's the medical record? Let me see it!"

Ge Jing stared at Jiang Yu intently, unwilling to miss any subtle expression on his face. "I want to see the medical record! What degree of burns does it say?"

"Medical record..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but avoid Ge Jing's gaze, his voice a little dry, "The medical records are on file with the doctor. When you feel better, we'll go see you again, okay?"

"..."

Ge Jing opened her mouth, feeling increasingly panicked.

Jiang Yu's evasive attitude and vague words completely shattered her last bit of hope.

An unbearable thought exploded in her mind.

Ge Jing suddenly grabbed Jiang Yu's arm, her voice shrill with fear, "Jiang Yu! Look at me! Tell me the truth... Am I... Am I disfigured?! Am I?"

"you……"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips.

He didn't want to lie, so he could only look at Ge Jing's eyes, which were once full of smiles and were now filled with broken fear.

"..."

Ge Jing blinked.

She got a definite answer from Jiang Yu's silence and distressed eyes.

She was truly disfigured.

She turned into an ugly monster.

No, not ugly.

It's a monster!

In an instant, the girl felt that the whole world began to collapse and shatter.

"what!!!!"

Ge Jing covered her face and screamed in pain.

She shook her head desperately, as if trying to shake off this terrible reality.

The thick bandage was soaked by the surging tears, which flowed to the wound, causing waves of pain and itching.

"No! No way! My face! My face!!"

Ge Jing desperately scratched at the bandages on her face, every word she uttered stained with blood. "How could this happen! You lied to me! You all lied to me!!"

"Ge Jing! Don't do this! Don't cry! Please, don't cry!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly hugged the struggling girl into his arms and said nervously, "The doctor said you absolutely cannot cry now! Otherwise, the wound will get inflamed and fester if it gets touched by tears! Please, stop crying..."

"I don't want it, I don't want to be disfigured, I don't want to be disfigured!"

Ge Jing grabbed Jiang Yu's shirt and couldn't control herself any longer. She started crying heartbreakingly, "Jiang Yu, I don't want to turn into a monster!"

The girl cried bitterly and sorrowfully.

Full of despair about the future and pain that goes deep into the bones.

The sounds penetrated the soundproof door of the ward and echoed in the silent hospital corridor.

outside the ward.

Gu Wei stood at the door, and his hand, which was about to knock, slowly dropped down.

Unexpectedly, Ge Jing was injured so seriously.

He originally wanted to come over to visit, but now it seems that his visit is just a disturbance.

Gu Wei shook his head regretfully and whispered to the attending doctor beside him, "Use the best medicine, invite the best experts, and do your best to treat him."

"Yes, Vice President Gu." The doctor responded respectfully.

At this time, a subordinate in a black suit came quickly.

He stopped beside Gu Wei and reported in a low voice, "Second Young Master, Fan Qingqing has been held captive for two days and two nights. During this time, we have followed your instructions and provided only the basic water and food necessary for survival. We have observed that she is currently in very weak physical condition. Moreover, Fan Qingqing's mental state... seems to be showing signs of instability. What do you think... what should we do next?"

When Fan Qingqing was mentioned, Gu Wei's eyes suddenly turned cold.

This ignorant girl actually dared to kidnap my cousin's wife. She will suffer the consequences in the future.

Gu Wei raised his hand, his voice cold, "For someone like this, no punishment is excessive. However, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. How to deal with her will be decided by my cousin and his wife. Until then, don't touch her. Keep her locked up."

"Yes!"

The men obeyed the order and retreated quietly.

in the corridor.

All that was left was Ge Jing's suppressed crying, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, which was very sad and regrettable.
