Chapter 112 - The Innocent Nurse
Chapter 112 The Innocent Nurse
Sitting on the bedside, Yezi shed tears while watching Xiao Bing who seemed to be asleep in the night.
Suddenly Xiao Bing grabbed Yezi by her hand. He opened his eyes and fixed his eyes on Yezi, from whose eyes tears just fell. He grinned, “Are you crying? You’re worrying about me?”
Yezi wiped her tears with her clothes and snorted, “Nonsense. It’s just that you are here because of me…”
“Don’t be a silly girl… Don’t you know how tense it was between North Heaven Queen and me? You are just a victim in this and it’s lucky that I got you out. Otherwise, I won’t forgive myself for the rest of my life.” Fear still lingered in his mind when he thought of the danger before.
“And my sister… I should apologize to you for what she did.”
“Silly girl, I am your man. I shouldn’t hate your sister even if she will do something worse to me. It’s just that…” said Xiao Bing, worriedly.
“You’re thinking about that car?” asked Yezi.
“Yes. Before he died, he said that it was your sister that sent him. He said that it was because I have a good relationship with Ye Tianming and I fell out with your sister. She needs to get rid of her brother’s right-hand man if she wants to compete for the president. But I also feel that you could be one of her targets.”
Seeming worried, Xiao Bing continued, “The members of the board are the most important factor in the competition and your father also will play an important role. You are his favorite among the three children of his and you have fallen out with your sister indirectly. I don’t think she can stand with you talking something bad about her to your father.”
There was sorrow in Yezi’s eyes. Xiao Bing knew Yezi was one of the smartest girls on earth and she would figure it out soon or later even if he had not said it to her. Maybe the car was also coming for Yezi. If that was true, the sisterhood between them was truly as fragile as glasses.
Xiao Bing didn’t want to see Yezi being this sad. He sighed and said, “Alright, Yezi. Stop thinking about it. It’s only our guesses after all. Maybe the truth is not as bad as we think. You should lie beside me and sleep.”
“I’ll sleep on that bed. The bed is small and I don’t want to bother your sleeping.”
A storm was still raging in her mind after Yezi got on that bed.
Xiao sighed. “What a silly little girl. Ye Xinyi failed to kill us. What will she do next?”
Xiao Bing closed his eyes. “If I were her, what will I do? What plan will this highly intelligent girl come up with?”
“Just let it go? Stop competing with Ye Tianming? Pretend to not know of the car accident?”
It was probably the wisest choice for her because she could still be the Big Missy of the Ye Family. Besides, she could hold her high position in the company as well. All she needed to do was to disclaim the presidency. She could still live as a wealthy woman for the rest of her life.
However, Ye Xinyi was not that kind of women who would give up something halfway. An image of the confident and arrogant Ye Xinyi appeared in Xiao Bing’s head. Unless Ye Tianming had already sat on that chair, otherwise she probably would never stop fighting for it.
If she was not willing to yield, what would she do next? Was there any other way that could give her the upper hand?
Xiao Bing gradually fell asleep while thinking of it. He was just too tired.
Su Xiaoxiao served Xiao Bing porridge in the next morning. Xiao Bing convinced them to go home after he finished the porridge. They should go back to school after two days’ off. Xiao Bing did not want them to delay their study because of him. Xiao Bing felt slight guilt because, on one hand, he had not been a good company for Yezi during these days, on the other hand, the Su Family’s store opened for business and he could only delay their date.
When he came to think of it, he found that he could use little help from the people around him. He was once invincible in this world and during those years and he always did things easily with the help of a team, which included a bunch of strong martial masters.
But now, he was not as powerful as he used to be with most of his power sealed. Though he had become of Transforming Strength stage and was more powerful than usual masters. There was nearly none martial artists that could be of his use.
His conflict with the Peony Fairy was a lesson. Though she was very powerful, the scariest person in Jiang City was Master Hou. It was almost impossible for him to protect himself with the force he could use if he confronted enemies like Master Hou.
Although Xiao Bing had no intention to be Master Hou’s enemy, he did not know if Master Hou had any enmity towards him and he would not risk his safety on it. One must possess fathomless power if he wanted to live without fear in this world.
Xiao Bing decided not to think of his suppressed power. He wanted to protect the people around him by what he had at the moment.
While Xiao Bing was thinking of it, his phone suddenly rang. It was Master Hou, whom Xiao Bing was just thinking of… Xiao Bing instantly rang the bell on his bedside. Soon the young nurse dashed in and asked worriedly, “What happened?”
Xiao Bing pointed at his phone and said. “Answer a call for me.”
Curious, the nurse pointed at herself and asked, “Me?”
“Yes. Just tell him that I’m still in a coma…”
She seemed to be resistant, “I won’t lie to others.”
“Damn, why you are so stubborn,” said Xiao Bing worriedly, “I’ll pay you after you do this.”
“Money can’t buy everything.” Pouting, the young nurse turned around and was about to leave.
“Don’t go. Ugh. I think I’m having a heart attack.”
Scared, the young nurse ran back in a hurry. She was worried but also suspicious when seeing Xiao Bing’s painful face. “Are you sure you’re having a heart attack?”
“Yes. Well, it’s up to you. Why am I so miserable and friendless? Damn, it hurts so much.”
The nurse bit her lips and asked tentatively, “Will it stop if I pick the call?”
“Yes. I will be much better if you do it for me.”
“Fine. I must tell you that the thing I hate most is telling lies. I won’t do this again.”
The nurse picked up the phone after it had been ringing for quite a while.
“Hello, is this Xiao Bing?” Master sounded normal on the phone. He was always a man of composure and men like him were the scariest.
The nurse hesitated and finally, she spoke, “I… I’m not. Are you looking for the patient? He’s still in a coma.”
“Well, tell him that I need to talk to him after he wakes up. You may just show him the number on his phone. And…How is he?”
Seeing Xiao Bing make eyes at him, the nurse spoke with reluctance, “He’s pretty bad. He was nearly dead when he was sent to the hospital. His condition has just stabilized and I don’t know when he’s gonna wake up.”
“I see. Thanks, young nurse. Please tell him that.”
“It’s the least I can do.”
Xiao Bing thumbed up to her after she hung up. But she just threw the phone on the bed and stamped on the floor while pouting angrily. “I said telling lies is the thing I hate most!”
Her eyes turned red while she was saying so. It seemed like someone had wronged her.
Xiao Bing went speechless for a moment and suddenly he realized the dishonor he brought her. He sensed the purity and innocence in her eyes the last time he was in the hospital. He had never expected her to be this innocent.
Xiao Bing had been through a lot since he was a boy and he could see through people. He could tell if a woman was calculating or not by a single glimpse. The nurse was truly an innocent girl, and forcing her to tell a lie went against her conscience.
Xiao Bing thought for a moment. Sometimes, people needed to tell some good-intentioned lies. Xiao Bing started acting like an Oscar-winning actor. “I feel so guilty that I just lied to my uncle. I’m such a sinner,” said Xiao Bing, who seemed to be overwhelmed in anguish.
The nurse was originally angry but she became curious after seeing Xiao Bing like this. She asked, “What do you mean by saying that?”
“Actually, I was drinking with a buddy in the night market, and we happened to see a group of hooligans violating a girl. All of her clothes were stripped off, and she was almost broken in…”
The nurse blushed and said angrily, “Call the police then. Why there are always these kinds of people!?”
“Yeah. I should call the police but everything would be too late before they arrived. I’m always a man of righteousness. I once picked up the money on the ground and gave them to the police and helped old ladies across the street when I was in primary school. I even started working when I was ten and gave the money to the needed… I just can’t stand these kinds of things happening in front of my eyes. How can I still be a gallant boy if I stood by?”
The nurse nodded like a chick pecking for food. “Yes. That’s absolutely right.”
“Hence, I fought them instantly with my buddy, who had always been my confidant since I was a boy. We saved the girl and we made it to the time when the police came… I don’t care if I would get hurt and had to go to the hospital. I just feel sorry for my buddy!”
Xiao Bing buried his face in the sheet and said with a grievance, “He was hacked to death!!!”
Suddenly a picture appeared in his mind, in which girls in bikinis were awarding him an Oscar.
