Chapter 725: With You 25
The medicine inside, with the man’s administration, flowed into the woman’s bloodstream.She screamed and the assassin soon collapsed limply.
"Take him away!" Feng Yan grunted coldly and stood up.
"Yes." Tian Xing came in and carried the assassin out.
Glancing at the assassin, Xia Yinian turned back to meet Gu Beicheng’s gaze.
"Uncle, don’t kill anyone."
Her voice was very low, probably only heard by those inside the room.
Knowing that Seventh Young Master and Third Young Master Feng were inside, the bodyguard and hospital staff didn’t dare to enter, only waiting outside for orders.
"I won’t." Gu Beicheng’s gentle voice soothed as he held Xia Yinian and walked towards the bed.
He won’t? Does Uncle mean he won’t, but, he can’t guarantee the Third Young Master won’t?
Xia Yinian hadn’t forgotten that it was the Third Young Master’s assistant Tian Xing who had dragged the assassin away.
Could she... ask Uncle to tell the Third Young Master not to kill?
Xia Yinian hadn’t decided on the issue when a sharp pain in her waist made her furrow her brows involuntarily.
"Did it hurt your waist?" The man frowned slightly.
He was very careful when setting her down, but still, she ended up in pain.
"Mm." Xia Yinian pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
Gu Beicheng didn’t pay too much attention, his large hand reaching to lift the girl’s clothes.
Xia Yinian suddenly grabbed his hand, really worried that if she was slow, would Uncle directly lift her clothes?
Being seen wasn’t really the point; the point was, Uncle was lifting her clothes in front of everyone.
If she didn’t stop him, would everyone still believe their relationship was merely that of uncle and niece?
"Uncle, let the doctor in," Xia Yinian whispered.
With so many people standing outside, did Uncle really not know?
Looking down at the girl’s scratched backhand, Gu Beicheng’s expression grew even darker.
Xia Yinian seemed to realize something and immediately withdrew her hand.
"Uncle, my waist hurts a bit, let the doctor take a look."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yinian turned her face away, no longer looking at him.
She couldn’t stand to see Uncle like this; the more he cared for her, the more powerless she felt.
If he wasn’t the distinguished Seventh Young Master, if so many things hadn’t happened between them, if there wasn’t her engagement with Brother Ling Qian...
Perhaps, she would have thought differently.
But, all these ifs have already turned into reality, what more could she think about?
Xia Yinian didn’t know when Uncle had left; by the time she turned around, only the doctor and nurses were left in the room.
Glancing at the two nurses, Xia Yinian still felt a lingering fear.
However, with both Uncle and Third Young Master outside, these three people surely couldn’t be assassins, right?
"Lady Xia, I’m really sorry! We didn’t even realize the nurses had been switched; I’m truly sorry!" The doctor apologized while examining her.
Maybe the Third Young Master had pressured the hospital, looking at the few people in front of her trembling, Xia Yinian also felt they were quite innocent.
Assassins, truly penetrating every defense; who exactly had she provoked?
"This isn’t your fault, don’t blame yourselves too much!" Xia Yinian comforted softly.
"Lady Xia, I’m really sorry!" a nurse also couldn’t help but say, "If possible, could you help us say a few good words later?"
Xia Yinian was a bit helpless, clearly she was the one injured, yet she had to console others.
However, is the Third Young Master that frightening? He appears quite gentle and refined, doesn’t he?
