Chapter 45: Remorse
Gong Siming had always been indifferent. But at the sight of the gushing blood, he showed intense fear and distress.
How could a minor wound be so serious?
“Drive faster!”
His anxious and furious voice rang.
Hua Er had been driving at top speed. Besides, the car was designed to run even faster than ordinary sports cars.
“You won’t hate me anymore if I die like this, right? That… that’s great.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
In a coma, Si Wan started to talk gibberish.
“Ming, I love you so, so much.”
Hearing this, Gong Siming felt extremely grievous and found the pain unbearable. Even when Feng Ling had the car accident, he was not so panic-stricken.
“I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t! The car, it lost control!”
“Sorry, I’m sorry! Our divorce, it hurts, Ming, it hurts.”
Since Gong Siming and Feng Ling were together, Gong Siming forbad Si Wan to call him Ming as Feng Ling didn’t like it. It had been a long time since she called him Ming the last time.
As Gong Siming listened to Si Wan’s intermittent words, tears were welling up in his eyes.
No one knew for sure whether she felt painful because of the divorce or the wound.
He noticed Si Wan was losing her temperature and voice.
Gong Siming gently attached his ear to Si Wan’s lips.
He was afraid of missing out on a single word from her.
“I really, really, love…”
She repeated it again and again as if she intended to pour her heart out.
“President Gong, you must keep her conscious.”
Hua Er had no clue of what had happened but noticed Gong Siming losing his sanity. Therefore, he had to warn the man.
She had only been in the office for less than one hour. How did she end up like this?
“Her artery might have been injured.”
He expressed his doubt. But how did she get her artery injured?
“You can press her femoral artery to stop the bleeding!”
Hua Er consciously blocked the back seat from the front one.
Gong Siming quickly removed Si Wan’s trousers and pressed hard on the popping artery near her groin.
It was not until that moment did Gong Siming find out that Si Wan was so thin that her veins could be clearly seen.
Her thighs were almost as thick as his arms.
They finally made it to the hospital.
Doctors and nurses sent by the director of that hospital had been waiting there for a long time.
They sent Si Wan into the OR.
Waiting outside in a daze, Gong Siming felt every second was painfully slow.
Noticing Gong Siming was shirtless with his upper part covered in blood, Hua Er sent someone to get clean clothes for him.
When the clothes were delivered to Gong Siming, he had almost lost his wits. His face was expressionless and his gaze was vacant.
Ever since Si Wan was sent to the operating room, he had been acting like this. Hua Er called him several times, but he wouldn’t come to his senses.
In desperation, he had to cover Gong Siming with the clothes lest he caught a cold in the freezing hospital.
Over half an hour later, Gong Yiyuan, the grandmaster of the Gongs and Si Huating, the grandmaster of the Sis who were having tea together, as well as Gong Yanchen and Yan Xiuya who were having a meeting, all arrived at the hospital.
Gong Siming, covered in blood, was seen sitting still at the entrance of the operating room.
Yan Xiuya felt distressed for her son who had been battered out of his wits. She was almost seized by a sudden impulse to rush over and comfort him.
But she couldn’t. The video of Gong Siming running out of the office with Si Wan in his arms went viral on the internet.
He didn’t answer his phone, and Hua Er also couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone.
Although the incident had been suppressed, the PR and emergency teams were busy dealing with it.
Nevertheless, it was an indisputable fact that Si Wan had been sent into the operating room.
With his children gone, Si Huating only had this one granddaughter. But now she ended up in the operating room, and whether she could survive was uncertain.
Fuming with rage, Si Huating had an impulse to tear this brat to pieces.
But it was not the right time for him to lose temper, and beating the culprit wouldn’t help Si Wan recover.
Holding back his anger, Si Huating showed intense distress and anxiety on his face.
“How long has she been in there?”
His aged and painful voice reached everyone’s ears.
Everyone knew Si Huating treasured Si Wan as his life. He had been over 50 years old but now had to witness her beloved granddaughter being tortured by others.
Si Huating had been unwilling to intervene as it was a private matter of the juniors. He wouldn’t like to embarrass these children and his old friend.
But this serious incident enraged him.
This man once went to the battlefields and barely cheated death. Nothing had ever reduced him to tears, but today he cried.
“Sir, it’s been over half an hour.”
Answered Hua Er from aside.
Si Huating simply ignored Gong Siming, which made Gong Yiyuan feel even more guilty.
Gong Siming had been treating Si Wan badly, and he felt he owed her.
It had been two years, he had thought their relationship must have been improved, but instead, Si Wan was hurt.
He felt ashamed for his grandson, who didn’t deserve such a virtuous girl.
Standing beside Si Huating, Gong Yiyuan was also reduced to tears.
He was imbued with guilty.
“We feel truly sorry for Si Wan. But rest assured. When she recovers, we’ll give all of you an explanation.”
He had intended to give a satisfactory explanation, but since she had been sent to the operating room, no compensation would be enough to change the situation today.
“Let Si Wan go back to her own house! This child is seriously injured!”
As soon as Gong Siming heard Si Wan was about to be taken away from Gong’s Family, he began roaring like a mad man.
“I won’t let that happen! No one can take her away!”
Hua Er held Gong Siming tightly. Gong Yanchen slapped his son on the face for fear that he might make matters even worse!
“Unfilial son, who do you think you are talking to? Sober up, or I’ll beat you till you do.”
Though he was distressed, things had already turned out this way. He couldn’t cover up the mistake of his son. Besides, he had also watched Si Wan grow up.
“Father, I didn’t mean to. I was angry for her indifference to me and intimacy with others!”
At that moment, Gong Siming acted like a guilty child.
“Are you aware of how you’ve been treating her?”
“Women from our family never lack love!”
Indeed, given Si Wan’s family background and appearance, if she liked, countless men would knock on her door.
“Grandpa.”
There were signs of imploration, remorse, and agony in his voice.
“I was seized with an impulse and broke one glass. Beyond my expectations though, she didn’t dodge.”
Was it because she couldn’t, or she was not willing to?
Regarding Si Wan’s skills, it was easy for her to dodge the glass which went towards her.
As soon as the glass was mentioned, Hua Er turned ghastly pale.
This glass was not an ordinary one. Regarding Gong Siming’s status, he was often regarded as the target of assassinations. Therefore, everything he used was designed with weapons hidden inside.
When it comes to that glass, there was a blade skillfully hidden inside, which was sharp enough to cause Si Wan’s injury.
“President Gong, that cup was specially made!”
