Chapter 481: One Wrong Step

Jiang Xuecheng carried Su Wan all the way to the emergency medical building. Although he was holding a person in his arms, his posture was still as cool as ever.

Three to five doctors and nurses followed behind Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, attracting a lot of sidelong glances from patients along the way.

Because they had received the news beforehand, the hospital had already arranged rooms for them. After they arrived at the ward, Jiang Xuecheng carefully put Su Wan down.

Earlier in the ambulance, the doctor had only carried out emergency treatment. Now that they were at the hospital and it had equipment, even though the wound did not look deep, Jiang Xuecheng still insisted on a comprehensive examination.

Su Wan knew that he was doing this for her own good, and an indescribable feeling of gratitude and bitterness immediately welled up in her heart.

Perhaps the thing that she did not regret the most in her life was marrying this man in front of her.

The kindness he had shown her did not need to be said in words, but it seeped into her heart bit by bit.

After a while, the doctor confirmed that the wound on Su Wan’s shoulder did not hurt her bones and tendons. The doctor performed a new disinfection and bandaged Su Wan’s shoulder.

When he was done, the middle-aged doctor in a white coat picked up the medical record book and quickly wrote down a few notes. Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Xuecheng, who was lying in front of the hospital bed.

“Mr. Jiang, the wound has been cleaned and bandaged. You need to change the dressing regularly throughout the next few days. Before the wound forms a scab, remember not to let it touch water to avoid secondary infection.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Doctor.”

Jiang Xuecheng nodded lightly.

The middle-aged doctor knew that Jiang Xuecheng’s background was extraordinary, so he subconsciously spoke with a bit of respect.

“Mr. Jiang, you’re too kind. This is what we’re supposed to do.”

As he spoke, the middle-aged doctor suddenly remembered something.

“Oh right, Mr. Jiang, although the wound isn’t deep, I still suggest that you let Miss Su stay in the hospital for observation for a day to prevent anything from happening to her condition.”

Jiang Xuecheng shook his head when he heard that. “There’s no need to stay in the hospital. If there’s an emergency in the middle of the night, I’ll bring her to the hospital.”

Because of some things that happened in his childhood, Jiang Xuecheng had a deep resentment toward the hospital. Now that Su Wan’s condition was completely normal after a thorough check-up, Jiang Xuecheng did not think it was necessary to stay in the hospital.

Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng insisted, the middle-aged doctor just smiled and did not force him.

“That’s fine too. Mr. Jiang, when you take Miss Su back, you must remember not to let her wound touch water. She must eat a light diet for the time being. You can boil some plain porridge when you go back.”

Jiang Xuecheng nodded slightly. “Thank you for the reminder, Doctor. I understand.”

“Okay, then I’ll go out first. I’ve already written out the recent medication list. The nurse will send it over later. When you’re discharged from the hospital, remember to follow the doctor’s Instructions on the list and give Miss Su medication.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Jiang Xuecheng finished speaking, the doctor picked up the medical records and information in his hands and walked out of the ward quickly. Then, he gently closed the door for Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.

In an instant, only Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were left in the ward.

Jiang Xuecheng sat next to Su Wan. He looked at Su Wan’s pale face and still felt a lingering fear.

When he heard that Sheng An’ning was attempting a murder with a knife and that the targets were Su Wan and Lin Fei’er, Jiang Xuecheng immediately dropped whatever he was doing and rushed over as fast as he could. He even exceeded the speed limit.

He only hoped that nothing bad would happen to Su Wan.

The feeling of fear on the way really made Jiang Xuecheng’s sanity collapse. Now that he saw Su Wan sitting beside him, the uneasiness in his heart slowly receded.

“Wan Wan, don’t scare me like this again.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes stared fixedly at Su Wan. He could not help but reach out his hand and hold Su Wan’s cheek in his palm.

Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng’s solemn expression and understood that he was really scared. She immediately nodded solemnly.

“There won’t be a next time.”

Hearing Su Wan’s promise, Jiang Xuecheng let out a faint sigh. Then, he carefully reached out his hand and held Su Wan’s uninjured right shoulder, letting her lean into his arms.

Su Wan obediently leaned over and listened to the powerful heartbeat of Jiang Xuecheng.

He was her harbor, and it gave her a sense of stability.

When she saw Lin Fei’er being slashed by Sheng An’ning earlier, Su Wan subconsciously blocked it. Now that she thought about it, she was indeed a little reckless.

She was also afraid that if she died like this, she would never see Jiang Xuecheng again. When Jiang Xuecheng arrived, he would only hear the news of her death. What would he do then?

Only when one is on the brink of death would they clearly know who they are most worried about.

Jiang Xuecheng gently held Su Wan in his embrace. His stern expression softened and the ward was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Su Wan bit her lip and looked up at Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face. In the end, she still stammered.

“Xuecheng, Sheng An’ning is… dead…”

Su Wan paused for two or three seconds, and a trance-like look appeared in her eyes.

She had wanted to tell Jiang Xuecheng about this at the overpass earlier, but she was interrupted by Jiang Xuecheng.

Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes darkened when he heard that. Just as Su Wan was feeling nervous, Jiang Xuecheng raised his hand and brushed Su Wan’s messy hair by her temples, arranging them neatly to the side.

“I already guessed it earlier. Wan Wan, she deserved it. You don’t have to feel guilty.”

One can never escape the consequences of their sins.

It was one thing for Sheng An’ning to be arrogant, but she was still so insidious!

At Jiang Zhiyuan’s 70th birthday banquet last time, Sheng An’ning had already made a big mistake. If it weren’t for senior master Jiang sending her back to the Sheng family in B City for old time’s sake, Sheng An’ning would have been locked up in prison long ago.

Who would’ve expect that even after the Jiang family to let her go out of kindness, Sheng An’ning still couldn’t understand her situation. Now she really dug her own grave.

Maybe Jiang Zhiyuan shouldn’t have been soft-hearted back then. If Sheng An’ning had been locked up in jail, perhaps the current situation wouldn’t have been so ugly…

As Jiang Xuecheng thought about it, he couldn’t help but hug the woman in his arms a little harder.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Su Wan. Otherwise, if something happened to Su Wan, even if Sheng An’ning paid with her life, he would not be able to get Su Wan back.

In this world, there was only one person in his arms that Jiang Xuecheng really missed.

Su Wan said that she could not lose him, and he was the same.

Hearing Jiang Xuecheng say that Sheng An’ning deserved what she got and that she did not have to feel guilty, Su Wan felt a little bitter in her heart.

She didn’t feel guilty. She just felt inexplicably sad. She had lost her life at such a young age. One should never take the wrong path in life.

Perhaps one wrong step would cause her to fall into the trap step by step and she would never be able to free herself from it in the future.

Just as Su Wan was feeling emotional, she suddenly heard a steady knock on the door.

Jiang Xuecheng looked out of the door and said to Su Wan calmly.

“It should be the nurse delivering the medicine. I’ll go open the door first.”
