His sudden action stunned everyone present.
Shen Siyuan saw him remove the needle from the back of his hand and didnât know what he intended to do, urgently stepped forward to stop him, âShengxiao, what are you doing? Youâve only had a third of the IV fluid, if thereâs an issue, at least wait until after the IV finishes.â
Li Shengxiao didnât even glance at her, but turned his head and ordered Gu Ming again, âPrepare the car!â
His command was authoritative and brooked no refusal!
Gu Ming hadnât expected Li Shengxiao to suddenly refuse the IV and ask for the car to be prepared. He hesitated with an uncertain expression on his face, but after a brief pause, he bowed respectfully and said, âYes, President.â
Once Gu Ming had left, the expression on Shen Siyuanâs face grew even more displeased. She stood in front of the tall and dignified man, both angry and anxious, âShengxiao, youâre suffering from gastric bleeding, which is no small matter. Even if thereâs an urgent issue, at least wait until the IV is finished before you leave. Thereâs no need to rush.â
Moreover, it was already dark outside. How urgent could it be that he was so impatient as to leave in the middle of an IV?
Shen Siyuanâs fair face was filled with worry as she stood in front of him, stubbornly saying, âI donât care what you have to do, but today, if you donât finish the IV, I wonât let you leave!â
âIf you want to leave, youâll have to step over me!â
Her determination to keep him there was strong; it was not just for show, but out of genuine concern for Li Shengxiaoâs health, unwilling to let him leave.
The nurses staying in the ward looked at each other, none daring to interfere at this moment.
Fortunately, Cui Jiangjing and Fu Yi had just finished talking outside and happened to enter. Seeing that the atmosphere in the ward was off and upon noticing the two people in confrontation, their hearts skipped a beat, âShengxiao, youâre leaving?â
The needle was already removed; it was clear he was planning to leave!
Siyuan most likely saw Shengxiao pull out the needle and stopped him from leaving.
Cui Jiangjing had just managed to calm his racing heart, and now, uncontrollably, it accelerated again. This time, he stood on Shen Siyuanâs side, joining her in blocking the way.
âWith your stomach in that condition, where do you need to go?â He knitted his eyebrows, his peach-blossom eyes showing rare seriousness, âAnd you havenât fully sobered up from alcohol yet. Even if there is something urgent, you should at least wait until youâve sobered up. Itâs not that urgent!â
âThereâs something urgent.â He ignored Shen Siyuan, but he gave Cui Jiangjing a glance, though his attitude⦠clearly showed no intention of listening.
He was cold and uncompromising.
Cui Jiangjing felt a throbbing in his temples and brazenly blocked the doorway, spreading his arms wide, âNo! Whatever it is, you must wait until after the IV is finished.â
He admonished with vexation, âDonât you know your own body? How much more can your stomach take? Itâs bad enough youâre straining it, but after causing such damage, you could at least quietly take your medicine! If everyone disregarded their health like you do, nobody would be able to survive!â
He was genuinely angry.
As a doctor, he was responsible for this manâs health.
He knew better than anyone about this manâs condition. Li Shengxiao was the type to work himself to death, already overtaxing himself at such a young age. Add to that the torment of genetic illness, and his health was far from good. If it werenât for his underlying strength from his early years, given the way heâd been pushing himself, any ordinary person would have already collapsed!
Yet, even now, his approach to love was just as reckless.
Just earlier, he had asked Fu Yi, and it turned out that Shengxiao had another conflict with Little Yan Rong and had gone out to binge drink.
Having not eaten anything all day, and then drinking so much, it would be surprising if his stomach didnât bleed!
