The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 54

Huo ShaoJie looked at Rong Dai, who was covered in scars. He didn't know where to start treating her. After Huo Mei Shu made a phone call, she took off her sun protection clothing and covered Rong Dai with it.

"Thank...thank you."

Rong Dai was extremely weak. Although the young lady didn't like her, Rong Dai was still very happy to see the young lady at this moment.

Huo Mei Shu looked uncomfortable: "Who cares about your thanks." She thought it was inappropriate, especially after seeing Rong Dai's injuries. Her voice softened, "If you want to sleep, just sleep. Eldest brother will be here soon."

Rong Dai nodded, but she stubbornly kept her eyes open until the sound of helicopter rotors came from the sky. She saw that man walking towards her like a god.

Her eyes were like floodgates that had been opened, with tears gushing out wildly. She thought she was really going to die this time.

"Wife."

Huo Shao Ting didn't call her Rong Dai, but called her wife. He almost sprinted to her and didn't care that the ground was covered in blood stains or that his expensive suit would be ruined. He knelt directly in front of her and bent over to whisper in her ear.

Not even in her previous life had Rong Dai been so desperate, nor had she anticipated someone's arrival so much.

Her wish came true.

Her face was badly battered and swollen beyond recognition. Her originally bright and spirited eyes were reduced to two narrow slits.

"Shao Ting..." She struggled to utter these two words from her throat, full of grievance, joy, and many other complex emotions.

"I'm here, don't be afraid." Huo Shao Ting looked at her gently, but didn't dare touch her for fear of causing her secondary injuries.

"If you're tired, just go to sleep. I'll be by your side."

Huo Shao Ting suppressed the raging anger in his heart. His heart trembled and ached. Seeing that she kept staring at him, he gently stroked her cheek with his slender fingers.

Rong Dai was exhausted. She blinked and was left with only a buzzing din around her ears. She fell asleep after a few seconds.

Huo ShaoJie and Huo Mei Shu watched their eldest brother's gentle actions from the side. They didn't expect Rong Dai to be so important to him. For a time, all kinds of feelings welled up in their hearts.

Rong Dai and Zuo Ran were soon taken away on the helicopter. Since this was the scene of the crime, someone still needed to remain.

"Eldest brother, you and Mei Shu go accompany sister-in-law. I'll stay here and handle things." Huo ShaoJie made a decisive decision. This matter could not be left as it was.

This matter had already greatly impacted Rong Dai. The internet was already exploding!

Although the Huo Corporation's public relations department acted swiftly, the Huo Corporation's influence in Shenjing was too great.

What's more, those sensationalist tabloids just made up stories based on snippets. To handle this matter properly, they had to wait for the police to thoroughly investigate.

With the results, it would be much easier to manage the online fallout.

Huo Shao Ting nodded. Huo Mei Shu followed closely behind as the two left with the helicopter.

Because the injuries could not be delayed, they went directly to the hospital with the best medical facilities nearby.

"I'm going into the operating room." Seeing Rong Dai being pushed in, Huo Shao Ting's eyes darkened. It was so cold in there, she must be afraid.

The doctor was immediately in a dilemma. If it was an ordinary family member, they would have refused. But this time was different.

Huo Mei Shu didn't expect Huo Shao Ting to make such a request, but saving the person was most important.

"That's my eldest sister-in-law. My elder brother is worried my sister-in-law will be scared. He will just stand by and not affect your work."

The doctors didn't dare say much more. The hospital director quickly came to handle things and agreed to let Huo Shao Ting enter the operating room.

After being fully sterilized, Huo Shao Ting entered the operating room and saw Rong Dai lying unconscious under the shadowless lamp. He clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white.

"There is no bleeding in the patient's abdominal cavity. Three ribs on her left side are broken. The most serious injury is her leg. The rest are external injuries."

The doctor quickly diagnosed and then carefully removed the bathrobe soaked completely red with blood.

An almost 10-centimeter wound ran from the top of her foot through her ankle, exposing the bone. The skin and flesh were twisted with yellow sand on it.

"Prepare anesthesia." The doctors in the operating room worked steadily.

Since there were no issues with the abdominal cavity, the operation was quickly completed. Rong Dai was sent out of the operating room and Huo Shao Ting also took off his protective clothing.

Seeing Rong Dai's swollen face that looked like a pig's head on the hospital bed, Huo Shao Ting's eyes darkened sinisterly.

"Eldest brother, I'll...I'll look after sister-in-law. There are some matters you still need to handle."

Huo Mei Shu looked at Rong Dai on the bed. She originally didn't harbor much resentment towards her. Over the past two days, she had also seen the news that exploded online, which had dissipated her resentment.

"Mm." Huo Shao Ting nodded, turned and walked out of the ICU ward.

"How is the other person?" Seeing Assistant Zhang come over, he asked.

He would not let that woman die. Death would be a release for her. Staying alive would be torture.

"The situation does not look optimistic. That leg is definitely crippled. Based on the investigation of the scene, she and Madam fell from the crevice at the same time. She cushioned the impact so her spleen was also affected."

Assistant Zhang quickly reported. He was really scared to death this time!

Huo Shao Ting's face was cold as he sinisterly glanced in the direction of the operating room. His voice was low as he instructed him, "Send her to Shenjing and get the best medical team to treat her. I want her alive."

Assistant Zhang understood. In his heart, he couldn't help but mourn for Zuo Ran. Offending the CEO meant she couldn't even die if she wanted to.

Soon, arrangements were made to send Zuo Ran back to Shenjing. As for Rong Dai, she slept for two days in the hospital bed before slowly opening her eyes in the afternoon of the third day.

Seeing the snow-white hospital room, she moved her hand and suddenly touched something soft.

She looked over and saw that Huo Shao Ting was actually sleeping with his head on her hospital bed.

She had never observed this man so closely before. The scene of him sprinting madly towards her floated up in her mind.

The cracks in her desolate heart slowly split open and a tender sprout slowly emerged.

This time, the danger was too terrifying. Looking at the man in front of her, she felt extremely safe. Her trust had not been betrayed.

This man was perhaps not the same as others, but she truly felt the warmth of being cared for and loved.

Such things were not tolerated by the secular world. If it were another man, divorce would probably have already happened. He wouldn't have cared at all.

But from beginning to end, he never asked why. He only confirmed that her orientation was not a problem. He didn't utter a word of blame.

"Huo Shao Ting, shall we...not divorce even after a year?"

She couldn't help but murmur. Her eyes shone brightly like stained glass.

In her previous life, she only indulged in her own joy, and didn't notice the emperor's kindness towards her and his other consorts.

The emperor said he loved her and would protect her forever, but in the blink of an eye, he banished her entire clan.

While this second life was still short, she truly felt cared for and loved. This man...she was a little reluctant to miss out.
