âI remember thereâs a big hospital nearby. Your BOSS is so badly injured, why didnât you send him to the hospital?â
Zuo Yue asked in confusion as she continued to rummage through the first aid kit.
âWhy would he call you up if he could go to the hospital?âThe driver replied coldly.
The corner of Zuo Yueâs mouth twitched. She found another tourniquet at the bottom of the first aid kit, but it was too small. She frowned and threw the tourniquet back. She turned to look at the man beside her who had already closed his eyes again.âCan I take a look at your woundâ¦â
The man beside her did not respond. He slowly closed his eyes, but it was obvious that he had acquiesced.
Zuo Yue saw the blood on his body. She never liked to study medicine because her legs went weak when she saw blood. She did not know if she was her biological child. Her parents were so cruel to send her to study the profession that she was most unwilling to study!
Zuo Yue held back the fear in her heart as she reached out and quickly unbuttoned the manâs shirt. However, when she saw that there was a very serious gunshot wound on his abdomen and the wound was still bleeding, she almost screamed.
The man suddenly opened his eyes. The moment their eyes met, the cold gaze in his eyes that seemed to carry a heavy pressure caused Zuo Yue to be unable to shout out. She only bit her lip and asked in horror,âThis isâ¦Gunshot wound?â
No wonder he couldnât go to the hospital. Even in America, there was a legal society. At least, outside of the underworld, this kind of injury couldnât be found by the people in the official hospital.
Although the man did not answer, his deep and dark eyes were like an unfathomable abyss. The layers of pressure made her unable to think too much.
Zuo Yue took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She turned around and took the tourtourniquet. After opening the packaging of the new tourniquet, she looked at the simple usage written on it and immediately bandaged the wound on his abdomen.
Then, she saw that there seemed to be some blood stains on his arm from a sharp weapon. She picked up the gauze and alcohol to help him deal with it. She had accidentally sprinkled alcohol around the wound, but the man did not even frown. However, he no longer looked at her. His cold gaze had already turned to look at the rapidly retreating roadside building in the heavy rain outside the car window.
After cleaning the blood and wounds on the manâs body, Zuo Yue took a new gauze and pressed it on the manâs abdomen. Although there was a tourniquet, it seemed that his injury was too serious. A simple tourniquet did not completely stop the bleeding, so she could only use pressure.
As he pressed, he said,âWell, I donât have anything in my hand that can help you take out the bullet. Even if I did, I wouldnâtâ¦â Therefore, I donât know if such a simple method will satisfy youâ¦â
The girlâs voice was a little cautious and afraid, but she was still conscious. At least she did not curl up into a ball and cry for mercy because of fear.
The man did not look at her, but he did not push Zuo Yueâs hand away either. He allowed her to continue pressing on the wound on his abdomen. However, the car suddenly braked at the intersection in front of them. Zuo Yue staggered and fell into the manâs arms.
Zuo Yue had unbuttoned his shirt because she had just helped him clean his wound. Her face brushed directly against his firm chest, and her lips, which had turned pale from shock, inadvertently rubbed against the small bump on the manâs chest.
Zuo Yueâs face suddenly turned red. After the car slowed down, she quickly sat up and continued to press on his abdomen to stop the bleeding. She looked up and saw that the man was not affected at all. His expression did not change at all.
This man! She had already been kissed on the chest by someone else, yet she didnât react? On the contrary, her face was as red as a cooked prawn!
Zuo Yue was embarrassed. She could not help but suspect his identity. She roughly knew that there were many underground organizations in the United States, and she also knew that the three major underworld forces were all over the world. She also knew that the United States was actually a place of trouble at certain times. This kind of gunshot wound was actually very common in some places.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But this was her first time seeing it! Furthermore, he was forced into the car at gunpoint to stop the bleeding!
I wonder if this so-called BOSS will let her go in the end
..
However, in the end, Zuo Yue was taken to the outskirts of Boston by the car until there was a small bus stop. She was thrown out of the car. Of course, her first aid kit was left in the car.
A few days later, when Zuo Yue saw the blood stain on her studentâs skirt that had not been completely washed away, she could not help but think of that manâs cold and deep gaze. Every time she thought of this, she could feel a chill down her spine.
*****
A month later.
Zuo Yue had been in class for the whole day. She wore a new student dress and returned to her temporary apartment near the school with a sleepy look on her face. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zuoâs mother, Xu Yuan, cleaning up inside. All the sleeping bugs in her mind immediately ran away!
âMom! Why are you here?â
Zuo Yue walked in quickly and saw that the room that she had made a mess of had been tidied up. Zuo Yueâs mother had even hung the clothes that she had just washed on the balcony.
After she was done with everything, Mother Zuo turned around and walked back. She saw Zuo Yueâs surprised expression.âIf I didnât come, were you going to sleep in a pigsty for the next few years?â
â..â
âYouâre already so old, why donât you learn to clean your own house?â
â..â
âFortunately, I had the foresight to entrust you to your uncle. Your uncle has been developing in Boston for the past few years. Heâs only nine years older than you, so the generation gap shouldnât be too big.â
Mother Zuo said as she folded the blanket on the sofa. At the same time, she looked at Zuo Yue, who was still standing in front of the door.âWhat are you waiting for? Hurry up and change your clothes. Your uncle will be here soon.â
âAh?â Zuo Yue took a deep breath.â You want to hand me over to someone else for no reason? You didnât even ask for my permission!â And now, you even invited her to my place?â
âWhat other people? Thatâs your uncle! Although you have never seen him, he is still your elder! I plan to return your apartment and let you live with my uncle. He can help me discipline you when heâs not busy.â
Before Zuo Yue could express her anger, she suddenly heard the doorbell. Zuo Yueâs mother smiled and turned to open the door.
She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around to look in the direction of the door.
When she saw the tall man who suddenly stood in front of the door, Zuo Yueâs expression instantlyâ¦It was indescribable to the extremeâ¦There was even some fear!
How could it be him? That day, the man covered in blood in the car?!!
