The hotel was right above Pearl Liang Restaurant. It was still uncertain how Danny operated. Three men were carrying a woman, who was clearly unwell into a room. They were allowed into the room without being questioned, though.
Not only was Yang Yi nervous, he was also physically and mentally tired. Now that his mental burden was gone, he would like to get some sleep but he couldn’t. There would be no one to take care of Kate if he was asleep.
Kate couldn’t be admitted to a hospital. Furthermore, the gunshot wound would lead to a series of questions and probably trouble if she was admitted. They would also have problems the moment they left the hospital. If anything was handled poorly, they would be terminated swiftly.
Kate was very beautiful even when she was sleeping.
Yang Yi was waiting for the blood transfusion to finish. Once the bag was emptied, he removed the transfusion needle from Kate. After he was done, he was finally able to take a short nap on the bed.
Yang Yi was sleeping, even though it wasn’t great when he was awakened by a very soft voice. Although Yang Yi was tired and sleepy, he was unable to sleep well since they were still on the run and their lives were at stake.
“Don’t leave me…”
Yang Yi opened his eyes and rubbed them. He saw Kate who was laying on the bed with her eyes open. He quickly got out of the bed. He walked towards Kate and whispered, “You’re awake. How are you feeling?”
“It still hurts a bit. What happened to me? Where are we?”
“We’re in a hotel. You just got out of surgery. There’s no need to worry. We are very safe right now.”
Kate’s eyes were unfocused. After staring at Yang Yi blankly for a while, Kate’s pale face started to turn red. She then whispered with determination, “I need to go to the washroom.”
Yang Yi froze for a moment before replying, “Ah! You definitely can’t get out of bed right now. Oh… Oh, I see. Please wait for a while.”
Yang Yi began to look for an item that could be used as a bedpan.
Though the situation was a bit embarrassing and troublesome, he still had to help. Currently, there was no one to take care of Kate except Yang Yi. Even if he was unwilling, he had to take care of Kate.
The hotel didn’t even have a basin. Yang Yi was truly troubled. He was sweating already when he heard Kate whisper, “I can’t wait any longer…”
A hotel was not a hospital. Its rooms were not wards and Yang Yi was not a nurse. Yang Yi felt like he should just carry Kate to the toilet but he didn’t dare to do so when he moved the blanket and saw the wound on her abdomen. It had just been sutured. It would be troublesome if the wound was reopened.
“I will get you a bottle then…”
“No, just assist me to the washroom. I believe I can still move.”
Yang Yi was almost in tears. It was his first time encountering such an uncomfortable scenario, “No, you can’t move yet. You were shot in the abdomen.”
“Then, you can carry me. I really can’t wait any longer…”
Yang Yi wiped both sides of his face as if he was sweating profusely and said, “Fine!”
Just as Yang Yi was about to do as she asked, he realized there was still one other thing he needed to do first. He would first need to take off her pants. If not, how could she go to the washroom?
He turned his head to the side and said softly, “Please don’t move. You can’t move under any circumstances. Not even one movement is allowed. Pay attention to your abdomen. It will be troublesome if the wound reopens. You can use your arms but absolutely not your waist.”
Yang Yi took great care when he lifted her up. He realized that Kate was quite heavy even though she didn’t look fat. He carefully placed Kate on the toilet seat as if she were a child. He immediately turned his head to make sure he didn’t see anything.
After the sound of trickling ceased, Yang Yi carried Kate back to the bed. He almost dropped her on the way because his arms were sore. Yang Yi gritted his teeth. He trembled as he slowly lowered Kate back onto the bed. He then quickly covered her with the blanket.
Yang Yi exhaled in relief after he sat down beside the bed. At that moment, Kate mumbled, “Sorry.”
“It’s alright. You are injured. This is inevitable.”
“Not about this. I am apologizing for hitting you when we first met. In fact, you couldn’t be fully blamed for that. It was just an accident.”
Yang Yi replied in embarrassment, “It doesn’t matter. It’s already a thing of the past. I have gotten over it.”
“You can look this way now.”
“Oh, I forgot.”
Yang Yi turned his head to look at Kate. Her cheeks were red. He asked in a soft voice, “How are you feeling right now?”
Kate slowly closed her eyes and replied with a pained expression, “Horrible. I have lost both my mom and dad. I feel horrible right now.”
Yang sighed in frustration, “You have to cheer up. Kate, you have to live well.”
Kate whispered, “I will. I will definitely live on. Thank you, Ross.”
Yang Yi was momentarily stunned. Ross was just a fake name John used when he casually introduced Yang Yi. He immediately realized that except John, no one knew his real name. Without a doubt, Kate didn’t know that Ross wasn’t his name.
“My name isn’t Ross. It’s actually Yang Yi.”
Kate slowly nodded her and whispered, “My real name is Kate Jones.”
Both of them were silent for a moment after speaking their names. Yang Yi asked, “Does your wound hurt?”
“Just slightly. No worries. I can endure it. Yang Yi, what will the police do with the bodies of my dad, mom, Ryan and the rest?”
Yang Yi solemnly replied, “I don’t know. It’s best if you don’t worry about that for now. You shouldn’t talk too much yet. You still need to rest.”
With eyes full of despair, Kate mumbled, “I was just thinking has mom been sent to the morgue yet? It’s very cold there. I have forever lost all my loved ones. My mom and my dad are gone… gone… the people who loved me the most are gone. I miss them so much…”
Yang Yi’s heart stung. It was because Kate was pitiful. She ended up suffering an experience similar to what he had gone through as a child.
“You have to stay strong, Kate. Those who have passed away are dead. We have no way to revive them. Your mom and dad’s greatest wish is for you to survive and live. So, you can be sad but the sadness must be buried within your heart for now. You need to cheer up for the time being so that you can recover as soon as possible. That is what you focus on now. You can mourn them later. So, be obedient and stop talking. You should take the chance to rest now while your wound is not hurting as much.”
Kate didn’t shut her eyes. She looked at Yang Yi nervously, “Please don’t abandon me. Don’t leave me all by myself.”
Yang Yi sighed solemnly, “I promise never to abandon you no matter what happens.”
