Feng Jianyu frowned and walked past her. He turned around to look at her face to face. What he saw scared him beyond imagination.
Holding her by her shoulder he worriedly called her name, "Xiu Mei! Xiu Mei just look at me."
Her face was tomato red, she was trying to breathe hard but is unable to get sufficient oxygen. To prevent herself from losing consciousness she jerked her head. Subconsciously she extended her hand for support and clutched on to Feng Jianyu's shirt tightly.
"Look at me! Breathe with me. Take a deep breath in and slowly release it from the mouth." He tried to guide her to breathe by constantly rubbing her back.
She looked at him and blinked, trying to follow his breathing guides she did exactly. But she felt something was pressing against her chest and is suffocating her. No matter how she tries to calm herself down but it's not working on her body.
Xiu Mei's nurse came running when the health device on her wrist starting sending alert signals.
"Call Wang Shi! NOW", He yelled at the nurse.
The nurse immediately retreated back and called Dr. Wang Shi. Other staff members also come there but didn't dare to approach them.
Xiu Mei had an urge to puke but Feng Jianyu is holding her tightly by her shoulders. Xiu Mei tried to wiggle out of his grip and push his arm. Turning her back to him she puked her guts out on the corridor floor before she falls like a lifeless doll.
He immediately holds her before she falls down and pulled her back. Holding her in his arms he sat down on the corridor floor and patted her cheeks.
He frowned when he realized her body temperature is cold and she is still sweating. At this moment Wang Shi came running to them.
"What happens? She was fine a moment ago, eating lunch with you", He crouched down in front of them. "How did she end up like this?", he asked taking out his stethoscope to hear her heartbeat.
Without lifting his eyes from her face he replied anxiously, "I will explain later, just examine her first. She is not able to breathe".
"Don't worry! She is fine! Let's take her to the room first", Wang Shi assured his brother and extended his arms to hold her.
"No… No one will touch her. I will take her to the room", He protectively hugged her in his arms and shouted at Wang Shi.
Wang Shi retracted his hands back, "Jianyu try to understand! You will again tear your wound. Let me carry her, Ok?"
"NO!", He tried to lift her up but Wang Shi stopped him holding his shoulder.
"Wang Shi rolled his eyes in frustration, "Don't be stubborn! How you will take care of her if you cannot take care of your health first. You are only delaying her treatment by doing this".
Feng Jianyu pursed his lips, "Fine! Be gentle! Take her to my room". He said gritting his teeth.
Wang Shi didn't think much about why he insisted to take her to his room. He picked her up in his arms and takes her to Feng Jianyu's room.
On reaching there, he lay her down on the bed and started giving her emergency medicine. To support her breathing he put the oxygen mask on her nose till her breathing stabilizes.
Feng Jianyu was standing on the side watching her helplessly. Her words were echoing in his ear, he can't stop himself from visualizing her crying face, her rage, her resentment for being wrongly treated. Now he understood why she keeps avoiding his touch.
But he was sure of one thing, that this is not the complete story. There is a much bigger picture behind this. When she used the words 'Why every time it's my fault?', he could sense she was blaming him for something. Did I do something wrong to her?
"Jianyu?"
"Jianyu?"
"Hm? What is it? Is she ok?" Feng Jianyu was so engrossed in his thoughts that Wang Shi has to jolt him to bring him to reality.
"Yes! She is fine. Her blood pressure spiked up… She is sleeping right now, take a look." Wang Shi pointed his eyes towards her.
Feng Jianyu approaches her and stands near her bed. He saw her facial complexion is back to normal and her breathing is clear and equal. To check her body temperature he extended his hand to touch her cheek but stopped midway, thinking she might not like it.
"What is her body temperature right now?"
"37 °C, It's normal now"
He frowned, "why she is still breathing through oxygen mask?"
"I will remove it after an hour, it's just to let her body rest more and not overwork itself".
"When will she wake up?"
"I gave her a mild sedative; she will take minimum 8 hours to wake up"
"Is she in any danger?"
"No…"
Wang Shi answered each and every question of Feng Jianyu patiently. He knew his brother cares for her too much. So in order to calm down his brother, this is the best method.
Feng Jianyu didn't say anything further and just keep looking at her beautiful face. He remembers the moment when they first met each other.
