Chapter 11 — Forced to return 80 tables, I overturned the divorce table and left them empty-handed

13 The endless wait The sound of an ambulance siren pierced the night of the city. I hugged Lam Trach Than tightly, feeling my heart being squeezed with every beat. His blood seeped through my hand, so hot it made me tremble. My mind was blank, leaving only fear spreading like bottomless darkness. In the hospital. Time... seemed to stop. The bright white light from the ceiling of the hallway shined down, so cold that it made my eyes ache, as if each ray of light was digging deep into my nerves. In the hallway, the hurried footsteps of the doctor and nurse followed each other, creating an urgent rhythm that made my heart beat erratically. Lam Trach Than was pushed straight into the emergency room, the red door in front of me slowly closed, separating him and me into two completely different worlds. I didn't have any strength left, my whole body collapsed onto the cold bench, feeling like all my bones were weak. Time at that moment lasted indefinitely, every second and every minute seemed to be stretched into endless torment. On my hands, on my shirt, there was still his blood on it. That warm liquid reminded me clearly of how terrifying the scene just now was. You... why are you so stupid? Why did you block me? If something happened to you, what should I do? Just thinking that he might not survive made my heart clench, to the point that I knew that if that happened, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life. The police came and asked me about the whole incident. I was like a machine, word by word repeating that crazy scene, the hollow voice echoed in the long cold hallway. Not knowing how much time had passed, a series of urgent footsteps approached from afar, breaking the heavy silence. A group of elegantly dressed people with overwhelming aura appeared at the end of the hallway, led by a well-groomed middle-aged woman with a coldly noble aura. Her face somewhat resembled Lam Trach Than, but her eyes were full of scrutiny and the authority of an acquaintance standing on high looking down. Behind her were several assistants, along with a young girl wearing gorgeous makeup. As soon as she saw me, a cold trace of hostility flashed through her eyes.

“Are you To Van?”

The woman stepped in front of me, looked from above, her voice was cold as ice. I stood up and nodded. A slap sounded crisply, so strong that it made my head pound for an instant. His cheeks immediately burned, his ears rang, and the whole world seemed distorted for a few short seconds. I... was beaten to a stupor.

“You comet!”

The woman pointed straight at me, her voice shaking with anger.

“If anything happens to my son, I will make you pay!”

The girl behind also stepped forward, her eyes filled with contempt.

"Don't be angry, it's not worth harming your health because of this kind of worthless woman."

She took the woman's arm, her voice was soft but her eyes were like knives cutting into me.

"A divorced woman doesn't know what tricks to use to cling to Mr. Trach Than."

I held my beaten cheek and looked at the two people in front of me. One is his mother. The other person... is probably the rumored fiancee. The fear and pain in my heart, in that moment, were replaced by a cold flame of anger. I looked up head, looked straight into her eyes, his voice was not loud but was terrifyingly steady.

"First, I am not a comet, Chu Le is the one who committed the crime, the one who should be condemned is her."

“Second, President Lam is still in the emergency room, life or death is unknown, but you are a relative standing here questioning me, don't you think it's funny?”

“Third, he saved me, he is my benefactor, no matter how you treat me, until he is safe, I will not leave even half a step.”

What I said made the two of them freeze. Perhaps they never thought that someone like me... would dare to stand up straight and face me like that. Mrs. Lam's face immediately turned pale with anger.

“You… you still dare to argue!”

At that moment, the emergency room door opened. A doctor wearing a blouse stepped out and took off his mask. All of our hearts… lifted into our throats at the same time.

“Doctor, how is my son!”

Mrs. Lam immediately rushed forward, her voice filled with panic. The doctor wiped his sweat and looked serious.

"The patient suffered extensive chemical burns on his back, a very dangerous condition."

“We treated it urgently, but there is a high possibility that skin grafting will be needed afterward.”

"The most important thing is... the patient's will to live is very weak, and he is still in a deep coma."

“The family needs to prepare mentally.”

Weak will to live... Those four words were like a hammer blow straight to my heart. Mrs. Lam staggered and almost fell. I rushed in front of the doctor and held his hand tightly.

“Doctor, I beg you, you must save him!”

“Nothing can happen to him, absolutely not!”

My tears flowed uncontrollably, bursting like a broken dam.
