Twilight Scarlet

"Marry Me, Qiao Zhen." Marcus knelt on the ground motionless as if he didn't hear anything, and looked up at Qiao Zhen quietly.It was almost evening at this time, and Qiao Zhen's body was dyed a faint red by the sunset glow from the sky. Against Qiao Zhen's fair skin like a ceramic doll, she had a shocking charm.

Qiao Zhen's thick fan-like eyelashes trembled, subtly forming a shadow around the fair eye circles, making it difficult for people to see clearly the obsidian-like bright eyes hidden behind the eyelashes.

Qiao Zhen didn't move. He watched Marcus slowly and almost exhausted all his strength in the dusk, but he still insisted on looking up at him with trembling and difficulty. His whole slender body didn't move at all like a statue.

"..."

"..."

After a while, it seemed like half a century had passed.Silence lingered between the two of them, and the warmth that had just been brought on had gradually faded and thinned in the cold atmosphere of the room until it dissipated.Marcus was almost desperate, and his originally confident mood became a little uncertain... At this moment, Qiao Zhen's petite body suddenly trembled, and then the prince of the blood clan shook his head in his cold I heard the soft and sweet voice in my ears. "No."

"What?!" The blood-blooded noble king's heart immediately turned cold, and the pain was almost like the night he was about to transform 3000 years ago - it was heart-piercing and unbearable.

"Marcus, you're wrong, why should I marry you? I don't agree."

"..."

"It's okay to be crushed on the bed. I don't want to change my surname, Hazel. The Volturi is so ugly. It's better to have my surname, and you can join our Qiao family."

"..." Marcus's anger was so inexplicable that he didn't let it out, he was completely speechless looking at his lover's delicate face like a masterpiece of God.

"Hey, if you don't say anything, I'll assume you agree." Qiao Zhen narrowed her big, shining eyes, then lifted her jaw triumphantly and laughed. "Come on, daughter-in-law, let's have a kiss. I'm going to have an operation, you should rest well, and see you after the operation tonight." Let's talk, Qiao Zhen quickly kissed the refreshing mint flavor Thin lips, then waved his sleeves, and quickly rushed to the impatient Britt outside the door.

"..." Marcus listened numbly to the voices of the two people's fast and low-pitched conversation getting farther and farther away, and he had completely recovered from the petrification of stiffness.He carefully touched the wet and soft kiss just now, and after a long while, he suddenly smiled in an extremely gentle, pampering and helpless way.

In fact, this old man had no part in Qiao Zhen's heart surgery - there was a clear rule in the hospital that no immediate family member of the patient could be on the operating table.And because of his father's situation, Qiao Zhen's autograph was required for Britt's risk-taking responsibility letter before the operation.

"Look, Qiao Zhen, I know what your father said..."

"Oh, of course. Mill, he gave Marcus a hard lesson. Is this why you came to me? Then stop talking, I really have nothing to say to him."

"No, listen, your father... he was sick, dying, came to our hospital, and told you that in the corridor not long ago... But it's over, it's not a big deal. All Everything is back to normal." Britt grabbed Qiao Zhen's arm, and suddenly stopped in front of the door of the operating room and said in a low voice.

"Yes, except that he's dying, it's no big deal."

"I'll fix him, you don't believe me?"

"No, I trust you, Mir. It's just that I'm... conflicted right now."

"It's okay, I know you are contradictory. Trust me and rely on me, okay? Although I don't agree with your words - your life is neither distorted nor dark. But I will never let him be in your life." Adding such a twisted and dark touch to life." Britt moved closer to Qiao Zhen, and the refreshing lemon scent surrounded Qiao Zhen's cheeks.

"……it is good."

"I now order you, in the name of your mentor, to sign and leave the hospital to rest somewhere. I'll tell you the result in ten hours—for better or worse."

"But I..." Qiao Zhen jumped up immediately, telling him to leave the hospital would be worse than killing him.

"I know you still have work to do tonight, surgery, ward rounds, consultations, etc. But I believe that Director Volturi's thoughts will be the same as mine-you need to take a break. I just asked Xie Dr. Burt has asked him, and he has given you a day off."

"..." Qiao Zhen looked at him blankly. "When?!" he tried to retort.

"Qiao Zhen, I know you don't want to. But, this is an order. That German is bad enough, I don't want to be told during the operation that another patient of mine was killed because of your distraction." Britt Quickly interrupting him, the ice blue eyes unceremoniously looked at Qiao Zhen's black pupils.

"I won't." Qiao Zhen said immediately.

"But I'm afraid you will, you know what I mean?" Britt still stared at him intently, not missing any tiny detail.

"...I am a surgeon, and my mission is to save lives and heal the wounded. I will not affect my work because of this." Qiao Zhen looked at Britt, and the other party's blue eyes were like a deep sea that tolerantly wrapped herself in it. "And you... Mir, you are also a surgeon, not my knight in golden armor or something, and I am not a princess who needs to be saved, so put away your excess sympathy."

When Britt heard that, his ice blue pupils suddenly tightened. "..."

"Mir, you have started to develop into an old woman's trend, nagging all the time and everywhere."

"...Even if I ramble all the time and everywhere, it's only because you need me to do so." Britt seemed to be stung by Qiao Zhen's words, he paused, and then said coldly. "Go, take a day off. It's okay to get tired of being with Director Volturi, or spend a whole day in that big house in Volturi. In short, you can't appear in the hospital."

"I've already signed this." Qiao Zhen was so angry that he immediately grabbed the notice in his hand, pressed it against the wall, and quickly took out a pen from the pocket of his white coat. Speed ​​signed his name, and then the pitiful thin A4 notice was pressed against Britt's chest with a loud "snap". "You can go in!" Qiao Zhen gritted his teeth.

"I repeat again, I am your mentor, as long as you are here, in my territory, you have to listen to me, now, I will watch you leave the hospital, hurry up!"

"……I hate you."

"..."

"I hate you."

"..."

In the end, Qiao Zhen was looked down upon by him, and she dragged her body step by step, reluctant to part with "temporarily" being forced to leave the hospital.Britt smiled slowly as he watched his leaving back. "I'm your knight, aren't I? Your Majesty the Queen." Qiao Zhen looked at him from a distance and said something, then laughed so monstrously that she couldn't help shivering.He thought it was very abnormal, quite abnormal--but he couldn't say anything.

"Richard, I have to talk to you." After Qiao Zhen walked around outside the hospital building like a trapped animal three times, he finally met a friend who had deserted to buy hot dogs and coffee. Qiao Zhen happily pulled him over Said.

"Oh, I understand. What's your problem?" Richard looked at Qiao Zhen with a "gossip" face, and was obediently pushed into the corner by Qiao Zhen.

"No comments are allowed. I just need to talk to you. I'm very annoying now, so I need to vent. Besides, you are my person and you understand me."

"Okay ok, what the heck made you like this? Oh, I'm sure it wasn't the old man lying in the hospital, then the one in the VIP? What's wrong with him, tell me?"

"Do you have a feeling of uneasiness? Feel that your fighting spirit is slowly being swallowed up by this huge white building?"

"Always. I miss the days when I could be so excited, smug, and contented to perform an appendicitis operation myself... Now... I'm empty."

"Yes... I see appendectomy and cecum resection in my mind now, and I have no passion at all, and I am almost a little tired." Qiao Zhen sighed. "I'm also empty and I need more, bigger and more dangerous surgeries."

"Hey! That's because of your greater ambition! Specialize in both directions, you know I thought you were crazy like your father when I first heard it. But, the difference is, I know you, you won't be busy Wuwei, that's why I think your ambition is terrible."

"..." Qiao Zhen glared at him. "Okay, no comments."

"...You say, you say, you continue."

"I'm empty. Why can't I feel happy after I met the right person? Why don't I have that kind of belief? And..." Qiao Zhen opened his mouth, and there was a look of complexity in his eyes, but he never Say it.

"Stop thinking about what your beliefs are...I know you very well, Qiao Zhen. Your beliefs are ambition, desire, conceit and endless surgeries." Richard took a sip of coffee slowly and shrugged, and said Not aware of the little conflict in Qiao Zhen's mind, he said naturally. "Hey, you have to know this. You are a career man... Surgeons are career men. Parents are short-tempered, and of course love will not satisfy you. Imagine if you married Voltu Director Li, and then instantly turned into a housewife... oh no, a housewife... oh, it's too scary, it can't happen! Bambi can't even do it. And you - we are the best in Seattle Most promising intern? That's even more unlikely."

"...Okay. I'll calm down then."

"Calm down? Then, stop the convulsions, have a cup of coffee, and see the silver-gray Volvo opposite? Sit in it, and then go home and have sex with Director Volturi! Don't let Those crazy thoughts occupy your little head!"

"...But I want to go back to the hospital."

"Oh, that's impossible."

"why?"

"As soon as you came out, Director Volturi gave an order. As long as anyone in the hospital sees you going in, they must pack you up and send you home, otherwise you will lose your job."

"Oh! No! This damned, ruthless, overbearing and arrogant dictator!"

"Don't forget, Dr. Britt, he said that too. Thanks to you, I've had a rectal exam for a month, and I don't want to have a second one. So, hurry up, go ten Step up, pull open the door of that Volvo, and say 'Hi!' to your man."

"...Did I ever say I hate you?"

"Many times."

"I hate you."

"Goodbye! Let's go, don't send it off!"

Qiao Zhen looked at Richard helplessly, and walked towards the silver-gray Volvo step by step. "Marcus, I warn you..."

"You have agreed to my marriage proposal, so you belong to me."

"Damn it, I'm not an item."

"But you still belong to me."

"..." Qiao Zhen looked at the rare and stubborn Marcus, who was a little confused. His face was already pale because of just now, and he didn't want to get into trouble with him again because of these trivial matters. "By the way, let's not tell others about this."

"I haven't told anyone yet."

"I know, I know, but just don't say anything. Especially with your 'friends'!"

"……why?"

"No, I'm just...I'm going to tell my friend first, you know...I'm going to tell Richard first, he's my buddy."

"...Didn't you meet him just now?"

"No, it's not such a random time. It's a special time. I have to tell him personally. He must be the first person to know."

"I also have... best friends. Why can't I tell Carlo?"

"..." Qiao Zhen looked at him. "That one of yours is not considered a friend. Anyone who has been together for 3000 years is not considered a friend. That is a magnet! What a big magnet!"

"..." For Qiao Zhen's unreasonable words, Marcus looked at him angrily and amusedly. "Hey, you should know that there is a special ability person in our group, he can make us closely united, like a family. So, although 3000 years is long, it is nothing. Carlo and Kaie Adams is my closest friend."

"... I said I can't say it, do you have an opinion?"

"...Okay, tell me why."

"You can't tell anyone, until I tell Richard them, that's not good."

"...You acted like a catastrophe. Even if others knew about it, the earth wouldn't explode. What's more, is there anything wrong with our relationship?"

"I'll tell them, right at work tomorrow, and I hope it's a surprise. So, you wait."

"Very good." Although Marcus was a little unhappy, he still followed Qiao Zhen's wishes, kept silent, and lay down to rest.

While the two were talking, suddenly the pagers on their waists rang crazily at the same time.Qiao Zhen was taken aback, and looked at the one on Marcus' waist in disbelief.Although everyone had to wear an emergency buzzer, he had never seen Marcus's one ring once—except this time!

"What's going on?" Qiao Zhen looked at the pager on his waist, there was nothing on it except the three numbers 911, and the one on Marcus—— Qiao Zhen quickly picked it up and looked at it.There were several bright red characters on it, "Emergency Rescue!" Qiao Zhen's heart tightened, and he blurted out the question.

Marcus frowned obviously didn't think the situation was good. "Qiao Zhen, leave me alone and go home immediately."

"...No, if the hospital has something to do, you have something to do, I won't go back home! What's going on?"

"Master, I just received news that there was an extremely serious injury accident near the Seattle Hospital." At this time, Remy had already parked the car steadily aside, he looked at the PDA in his hand, and said immediately. "All accessible level one trauma centers have been asked to provide personnel assistance. The centers have asked us to send as many personnel as possible to the scene immediately."

"Huh?" Qiao Zhen was stunned. "Is this...another drill that was created in conjunction with that emergency rescue drill?" Qiao Zhen knew that they would have a routine emergency rescue drill in the near future, requiring the whole hospital to participate, so they teamed up with him and Richard. The two of them had already been drilled by Britt countless times, so he immediately curled his lips in reflex and asked.God bless no, he would rather have a real fight than being drilled by Britt over and over again in front of Jiaren, Qiao Zhen thought silently in an extremely irresponsible manner. "Then should I show a proper nervous look at this time and cooperate with the boring people in the center?"

"No." Remy said immediately.

"what?"

"Your Highness, this is not a coordinated exercise. A large-scale accident suddenly occurred at this time. The center requires the entire Seattle Hospital to be prepared to treat a large number of wounded. Even... the master is also required to sit in the Seattle Hospital and not leave the hospital."

"..."

"Remy, let's turn around and go back to Seattle Hospital now, immediately." Marcus, who had been silent at the side, suddenly opened his eyes and whispered.

"Yes, Master."

"Fuck, can't you?" Qiao Zhen asked reflexively when he felt his crow's mouth for the first time. "What happened? What happened?"

"I don't know the details yet, but I just received an order from the rescue center." Remy said while driving quickly. "I hope not too many people will die." Remy smiled wryly.

"..." The whole carriage became oppressive and dull.

Ben returned to the hospital, only to see all the interns running back and forth, and the bulletin boards that had been densely lined with operations had been wiped clean—obviously to make way for the upcoming large-scale rescue.Qiao Zhen noticed that there was only one surgery clearly and clearly written on the white bulletin board - the heart repair surgery jointly performed by Dr. Schebert and Dr. Britt. Qiao Zhen's mood instantly turned bad, what the hell , damn it!Qiao Zhen cursed in her heart, but still without slowing down, she quickly got a set of emergency medical staff suits from the head nurse and put them on quickly.

While Qiao Zhen was dressing quickly, he hesitated to speak and looked at Richard beside him. "Richard, I have something... I have to tell you..."

"Oh, you can't be pregnant too, I can't bear the news anymore, you know... just now, when I came back from buying coffee, Mary, the nurse on duty at the nurse's station, told me that she Pregnant with my child! Damn it, who knows whose child it is! I'm already in a mess, don't add to the mess!"

"..." Qiao Zhen stared at him. "Don't you like to use condoms!"

"……so……"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Marcus on the side. "We divided into five groups, each group of three people, took a helicopter, and then rescued the most critically ill wounded by helicopter. There is not enough space on the helicopter, so put your first aid kit on your lap." Marcus quickly and severely And without losing elegance, he also carried a rescue kit that was exactly the same in his hand.Qiao Zhen stared straight at Marcus in "military uniform" who was about to go out for business.

No way? !

"Where are we going?" said one of the interns.

"Fox Town." Marcus said in a low voice with a gloomy flash in his cold eyes.

"..." Well, Qiao Zhen instantly understood what Marcus was thinking.The werewolf and Karen's family lived there. If there were no accidents, I am afraid that there was an extremely serious problem "inside" them, which led to Marcus going into battle in person.

"Fire? Flood? Volcanic eruption? Our outfits are not suitable for a volcanic eruption..." Chicken Rib nervously talked about various emergency measures, and then said desperately.

"Ribs!" Qiao Zhen glanced at him, then gave him a supercilious look. "Seattle has no volcanoes."

"...I'm sorry. I... I'm a little nervous." The chicken ribs swallowed.

"Helicopters can't pull supplies, so these are the only first aid materials you bring. Do you understand if you don't have a backup? Once you see a seriously injured person, immediately hang up a black card and call the helicopter to send it back. There are also areas around Fox Town. They are all densely forested, so you must act in a group of three, contact the headquarters by radio, and you cannot leave alone. Do you understand?" Marcus took the lead in a handsome jump, and landed lightly beside the helicopter's pilot seat , he said condescendingly on top of the buzzing plane.

The black starry sky, coupled with the height of the commanding heights of Seattle Hospital, was matched with a pale full moon above Marcus's head, and the long black hair and blood red eyes that were blown up by the helicopter's airflow.Marcus now.The Volturi is like an emperor in the dark night, ruling the world.

Everyone present swallowed their saliva involuntarily, obviously surrendering at his feet.After a brief silence, everyone quickly found their respective helicopters as if awakened from a dream.

"Damn it, I finally understand why you like Director Volturi so much, he's so handsome!" As soon as Qiao Zhen boarded the plane, she saw a female intern she didn't know very well approach her, quite spontaneously Said to him familiarly.

"..."

"Everyone, pin the badge on the outside of the jacket. When we arrive at the location, remember the on-site first aid rules. Qiao Zhen repeats." Just as the plane took off, Marcus's calm voice suddenly came from their headsets. And elegant voice.Others don't know, but Qiao Zhen can hear the infinite murderous intent hidden inside.

"Green label - non-emergency. Yellow label - delayed care. Red label - urgent treatment is required." Qiao Zhen said immediately.

"Very good. You must carefully evaluate, label, and send all critically ill patients to the helicopter as soon as possible. Also, Qiao Zhen, you and I will be in the same team when the time comes, and we will go into the mountain for search and rescue work. Keep calm."

"Is there any new news about what happened." The female intern looked very curious, and she asked curiously.

"No, you'll know when you arrive." Marcus said coldly. "Also, those who have lost a lot of blood but have no outward signs of injury will be given a red label and must be sent to the Seattle Hospital's helicopter."

"Yes." Qiao Zhen was even more sure.

Something bad happened.
