The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

The ambulance roared along, its piercing sirens piercing my eardrums and reaching my heart, hammering at my already frantic nerves. I held Yuxuan's hand tightly. His hand was so cold, as cold as ice. My tears couldn't stop falling, soaking his sleeves.

"Yuxuan, hold on, we'll be at the hospital soon. You'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine..." I repeated this sentence over and over again, as if I was saying it to him, or to myself.

We arrived at the hospital, and Yuxuan was rushed into the operating room. The cold operating room door slammed shut before my eyes, severing the last connection between me and Yuxuan. I slid helplessly down the wall and collapsed onto the floor. The red words "Operation" above the operating room pierced my eyes like sharp knives.

Time passed by minute by minute, and my heart sank little by little as time passed. I don't know how long it took, but the door of the operating room finally opened, and the doctor walked out tiredly, taking off his mask.

"Doctor, how is he?" I hurried forward, my voice trembling with a hint of hope and fear.

The doctor looked at me and shook his head solemnly. "The patient has lost too much blood, and the bullet hit a vital part. The situation is not optimistic. We have done our best. We will need to perform multiple operations. As for whether he can recover after the operations, it depends on his willpower..."

The doctor's voice faded away, and my world seemed to crumble. My vision went dark, and I nearly fainted. "No... No... He'll be fine..." I slumped to the ground, tears blurring my vision. The doctor's voice seemed to come from a distant horizon, echoing over and over in my ears, like someone else's story, unrelated to me.

However, Yuxuan's pale face, bloodstained clothes, and the gentle look in his eyes before he passed out reminded me that all this was real. My Yuxuan, he was truly struggling on the brink of life and death, and I was powerless to do anything.

I don't know how I got up from the ground, nor do I know how I got back to the ward. I only remember that when I saw Yuxuan lying on the bed, with tubes all over his body and his face as pale as paper, my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and I couldn't breathe.

I held his hand tightly, feeling his weak pulse, as if it was the only proof that he existed in this world. I called his name over and over again, praying over and over again, praying that he would open his eyes, even if it was just to look at me.

Day after day, I stayed by his side, never leaving his side. I wiped his body, massaged his stiff muscles, read him his favorite poems, and did everything I could think of, just hoping that he could feel my love and my presence.

But he still lay there quietly, without any reaction. I wished he could just rub my hair lovingly like he always did, and say to me with a smile, "Silly, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Lolo, you haven't slept for three days and three nights. Go and have some rest. I'm here with Yuxuan." My best friend Xiaoxiao looked at me with concern, her eyes red, and it was obvious that she had been worried for a long time.

Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, also advised: "Yes, Miss, if you continue like this, your health will collapse. Young Master is a lucky man, and he will be fine."

Their voices were gentle, but like sharp needles, piercing my sensitive nerves. "What do you know? You understand nothing! What if he doesn't wake up? What should I do?" I clutched my head, screaming in agony, tears pouring out.

Xiaoxiao and Uncle Wang tried to persuade me again, but I pushed them away. "All of you, get out! Leave me alone!" I slumped helplessly in my chair, staring blankly out the window.

The door to the ward closed gently, isolating me from everyone's care and comfort, and also from the outside world. In my world, only the unconscious man on the hospital bed remained. He was everything to me, the only motivation for me to live.

Officer Li came several times to report on the progress of the case, saying that the "Black Fire" organization had been completely wiped out, and the mastermind behind it had been apprehended, and that they would be severely punished by law. I listened numbly, without any reaction, as if these things had nothing to do with me.

Whether it was "Black Fire" or the mastermind behind it, I didn't care. All I cared about was when my Yuxuan would wake up and come back to me. Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened, a new day began, but my world remained gloomy. I mechanically wiped Yuxuan's body when I felt his fingers move.

I suddenly raised my head, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and my breathing became rapid. "Yuxuan, is that you? Can you hear me?" I held his hand tightly, my voice trembling, afraid to disturb him.

His fingers moved again, and this time, I could clearly feel him responding to me. Tears welled up in my eyes, and this time, they were tears of joy.

"Doctor! Doctor! He's moving, he's awake!" I rushed out the door excitedly, shouting loudly.

Doctors and nurses quickly arrived and performed a series of tests on Yuxuan. The results showed that Yuxuan's vital signs had stabilized and his consciousness was slowly recovering, but his physical condition was still very weak and he needed a long period of rest and treatment.

My heart finally settled. I sat by his bed, looking at his pale face, feeling a mixture of emotions. He'd finally woken up. This was the best news I'd heard in a while, but his condition wasn't optimistic. The road ahead for us was still long and difficult...
