After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 707 - 711: A Sense of Gloom [1]

"I think... I’ll wait until she wakes up before I leave," Huangfu Ruo leaned on Qin Lan’s shoulder. She had slept for two hours in Qin Lan’s arms at the hospital yesterday, and her spirits weren’t too good now, "After all, the boat isn’t until tonight, so there’s no rush. Brother, Brother Zirui, don’t you both need to attend the exchange event? You go ahead?"

Leng Zirui raised his wrist to check the time. The hour hand was pointing at 8:30, half an hour before the event was to start.

"Huangfu, let’s go," he said.

"Okay!" Huangfu Ao responded, took a glance at Xu Pei in the room, "Seeing her like this, I guess she won’t wake up anytime soon. Qin Lan, take Ruoruo to eat something, then rest in the car for a while. If there’s any news, call Zirui or me immediately."

"Alright, go on, don’t worry about me. There are plenty of us here," Huangfu Ruo urged.

With duties to attend to, Huangfu Ao and Leng Zirui naturally couldn’t stay any longer. Faced with life and death, they possessed more ordinary sentiments than most people.

Without further delay, the two quickly left the hospital and headed to the event venue.

On the hospital bed.

Xu Pei’s right hand, attached to the IV, moved slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes gradually opened. After more than thirty hours of deep sleep, she finally came to.

Her vision shifted from blurry to clear, and the foggy sounds in her ears gradually ceased to be a chaotic noise.

"Doctor, she’s awake."

"All tests are trending normal, blood pressure is rising, heart rate 65..."

Watching the foreign nurses and doctors bustling about, Xu Pei’s mind was momentarily clouded.

The sound of car horns, the onslaught of flames...

With the flicker of chaotic sounds and images before her eyes, she finally remembered what had happened.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that the mere act brought searing pain, as if her throat had been sliced with blades. Even a single word felt as if her skin was tearing.

"I..."

The bespectacled male doctor bent down and gave her a reassuring smile, "Miss Xu, you’re at Marseille Rodna Hospital, and I’m your attending physician, Alberto. Don’t be afraid, your friends are all outside, and I’ll let them in to see you in just a moment."

Her "friends"?!

Did she still have friends?!

Xu Pei turned her face and saw through the large glass window, beyond the opened louvered window, four familiar silhouettes. Huangfu Ruo was waving at her vigorously through the glass.

All four of them were dressed in formal attire, clearly having rushed here straight from a wedding venue without even changing clothes.

Her throat tightened, and her eyes immediately began to sting.

Even though they knew what she had done, they... still came to visit her?!

Dr. Alberto straightened up, opened the door of the special guardian ward, stepped outside, and then closed the door behind him.

"Doctor!"

Seeing him come out, Shen Yizhou and the others immediately approached him.

Just now, they had already seen Xu Pei wake up through the glass, and their faces were lit with joy.

"Miss Xu has awoken, you can go in to see her, but considering that she’s still quite emotionally unstable, please don’t tell her about the extent of her injuries for the time being," Alberto turned to look at Xu Pei through the window, "After all, as a young woman, she may find it very difficult to come to terms with such things."
