"Give it to me!" Shen Xuan said, pulling her hand back with a hint of fear in her voice.

Because she was standing two steps lower than him, looking up at him was like gazing up at an unapproachable statue, and the aura of authority he exuded made her feel oppressed.

Li Siyuan's expression grew even colder as he took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.

At this moment, a thick cloud hung over his face, and his gaze toward her began to flicker with restlessness.

After taking the phone, Shen Xuan didn't say anything more and quickly dialed Cheng Lu's number: "Xiao Lu, I accidentally broke my phone just now. Is there something you need?"

After saying that, she turned and walked downstairs.

Li Siyuan watched her figure disappear at the end of the stairs silently, and only then did the irritation in his heart ease slightly.

Oh, so she was looking for Cheng Lu. I was really overthinking it; I mistakenly thought she was contacting Lu Yuchen.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Shen Xuan stopped, gripping the intercom tightly, and froze in place.

The people upstairs were still staring intently at her profile, their expressions clearly somewhat strange.

"what are you saying?"

Shen Xuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she didn't even hear what Cheng Lu said next.

The phone almost slipped from its grip and fell to the ground.

She felt something pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

The person behind them slowly descended to the same floor and, seeing this, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Drive me outside quickly."

Shen Xuan didn't even turn her head before speaking, her voice containing a barely perceptible but obvious element of fear.

The man observed quietly for a while, still unable to figure out what had happened.

Could something that could cause such intense emotional fluctuations in a woman be related to a man?

"Take me to the hospital right now!"

Sensing that the other party did not immediately respond to her request, Shen Xuan repeated her request, unconsciously tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Seeing this, his anger intensified.

To leave so urgently just because of a friend's phone call—does she really think so little of herself?

Besides, even if Cheng Lu had some kind of problem and ended up in the hospital, she wouldn't have to turn against him like this, would she?

Shen Xuan didn't want to argue anymore. She calmed herself down, then walked over to the coffee table, grabbed the man's car keys, and left without saying a word.

In the darkness, he watched her disappear at the end of the side door.

She rarely drives, and although she has a driver's license, she has hardly ever used it.

She, who never drives alone, now mustered the courage to risk driving away for someone else.

On the table, the cell phone that Shen Xuan had left behind rang.

Li Siyuan glanced in that direction and slowly went over to answer the call.

"What is it?" he asked in a flat tone.

"Young Master Lu is in trouble..." The voice on the phone sounded tense.

"What's going on..." He was stunned, and quickly looked in the direction Shen Xuan had left before realizing that something was wrong.

Li Shulian was coming over from the side to call out to him, but in the blink of an eye, Li Siyuan had already left quickly.

Shen Xuan gripped the steering wheel tightly and finally drove the car onto the main road.

She saw the car following behind her in the rearview mirror and slammed on the gas pedal to speed up.

Li Siyuan honked the horn several times to make her stop, but Shen Xuan didn't even glance at it and continued to speed forward.

When his car caught up and stopped beside him, he rolled down the window and shouted, "Shen Xuan, stop the car right now! I'll take you there! Do you hear me?"

She turned to look at him, her anger blazing, then closed the window and stopped responding.

After running several traffic lights in a row, the two cars became the focus of attention on the road.

Finally, Shen Xuan managed to safely park the car on the side of the road.

As soon as she got out of the car, she almost collapsed to the ground.

The hospital gate in front of her appeared somewhat blurry in her eyes.

The crazy maneuver she just made left her mind blank for a moment, and she could barely stand by leaning against the car door.

Before Shen Xuan could react, Li Siyuan had already gotten out of the car and walked up to her, grabbing her collar: "Shen Xuan, what do you think you're doing? Do you know how dangerous that was?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs."

She shook off his hand, trying to calm herself down.

As soon as he stood up, his legs gave way and he knelt down again.

Hearing her words, Li Siyuan felt even more uncomfortable.

This is like treating someone's kindness with contempt. He followed her all the way to the hospital to see other men, and this is what she said to him.

People passing by the hospital entrance watched this scene with curiosity. Shen Xuan instinctively stood up from the ground, thinking about what Cheng Lu had said on the phone about Lu Yuchen being hospitalized, and felt even more nervous and scared.

The incident even attracted the attention of a traffic police officer.

She staggered into the door, then walked to the elevator, pressed the floor button, leaving Li Siyuan standing at the door to deal with the problem.

When she came out, Cheng Lu and Yin Xuan were already waiting for her there.

Shen Xuan was clearly still struggling with what had just happened and Lu Yuchen's condition; the two feelings intertwined, making her feel dizzy.

When Cheng Lu saw her, she was walking out of the elevator, supporting her leg and leaning against the wall. Her palms were sweaty from nervousness.

"Are you alright?" Cheng Lu asked her worriedly.

Shen Xuan couldn't even describe how terrible her behavior had been. She simply waved her hand and asked, "How is it now?"

Cheng Lu shook her head, seemingly speechless. "He's still being treated. The doctor said his condition isn't good. I've already contacted his mother, and his family should be arriving tomorrow."

Her heart clenched, as if a hand had gripped her most vulnerable spot, causing her excruciating pain that made it hard to breathe.

"Xiaolu, it's all my fault. I'm the one who hurt him. I shouldn't have let him go back to get his household registration book. I was wrong!"

Shen Xuan lost control of her emotions, gripping Cheng Lu's arm tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

She felt immense regret; why had she let him go back to his apartment to get his things at that time?

Little did they know that this would be their last meeting, and that the outcome would be so tragic.

Will his life really end in her hands?

No, she didn't want that. She didn't want him to leave. She wanted him to stand safely in front of her.

“Xiaolu, he can’t leave me. I’ve ruined him. I was so selfish. Why did I let him take that step? He’s so young. It shouldn’t end like this.”

“This is not your fault, Ah Xuan. It was the driver’s responsibility. Mr. Lu was just riding back in that taxi when the truck suddenly crashed into us. Even the taxi driver was seriously injured. Mr. Lu was sitting in the back, so the impact was reduced, and he was able to make it to the hospital.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan cried even harder, feeling as if countless hands were tearing at her heart.

Cheng Lu held her tightly, trying his best to give her the strongest support.

Yin Xuan stood leaning against the wall, feeling a mix of emotions, but he didn't know how to express his feelings.

Suddenly, the emergency room door opened.
