Chapter 77.3 – Extra: Wife-Chasing Crematorium (Part 2)

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　As he said so, he fumbled in his pocket and drew out a small bottle of strong acid. Without a second thought, he threw the acid in Jiang Dai’s direction——

　　Subconsciously, Jiang Dai closed her eyes.

　　Since the thug was in such close proximity to her, it was improbable that she would ever be able to dodge it in time, based on the acid’s traveling speed.

　　Hence, all she could do was close her eyes. In that way, she could, at the very least, protect her most vital and also the weakest part — her eyes.

　　In the midst of dodging the acid, Jiang Dai received a heavy strike from the back. 

　　When she was just about to fall over, waves of despair washed over her.

　　Encountering such crazed thugs was indeed a common sight in society. Under normal circumstances, a mentally unsound individual was the perpetrator, so it would not be easy to hold them accountable for the situation.

　　After all, she was merely a businesswoman and had never done any outrageous acts. Hence, she found it incredibly difficult to picture someone having such tremendous animosity toward her.

　　To think that someone wanted to disfigure her with strong acid and a stranger she had never met at that.

　　Perhaps her mental state was still under the pressure of gaining memories from the other world, as she appeared exceptionally weak and pale at this moment.

　　Concurrently, the security was still struggling to contain the thug.

　　Yet, the two embracing individuals collectively sunk into silence as though they were in their own world. One that only encompassed both Jiang Dai and him.

　　Huo Rongshen comforted softly, “Don’t worry, everything’s alright now.”

　　She opened her mouth​ as if she ​had something​ to say​, but the words were stuck in her throat​. This went on a few times. In the end, ​​she said nothing and nodded her head.

……

　　An innumerable number of security teams made their way over before the abnormal man was eventually subdued. On top of that, they had contacted the police, so the nearby police force promptly responded to the call.

　　By this point, Jiang Dai had gradually pulled herself together and left Huo Rongshen’s embrace.

　　She had even thought to jest, “Haven’t you already left? Why did you suddenly return?”

　　Much unlike the look of worry and unease from the impending danger earlier, Huo Rongshen’s face had now broken into an almost uncontrollable smile and appeared seemingly relaxed.

　　“For some reason, I felt so uneasy as soon as my car left the building. That’s why I had the chauffeur head back to Bao Li Building, as I wanted to converse more with you. However, the chauffeur was adamant that he would not turn around for fear that you might reprimand him. Even so, it was fortunate that we did return when we did, as I just happened to witness this in the nick of time. Wouldn’t you say it’s such a coincidence, President Jiang?”

　　The corner of her lips quirked up as Jiang Dai answered, “Indeed so.”

　　Yet, the man smirked, “No, it was not merely a coincidence. It was, in fact, preordained, as the heavens above gave me a chance to rescue a damsel in distress. That way, I can further improve our relationship.”

　　Jiang Dai never thought he would be in the mood to utter such flirtatious words, so she could not help but roll her eyes at him. Just as she was about to criticize him, she noticed that the right shoulder of his blazer had been corroded.

　　She gasped, “You…… You were hit by the strong acid?”

　　Lowering his head, Huo Rongshen began studying the spot that emitted whiffs of pain. Even so, a smile still grazed upon his pallid lips. “It seems so, but I’m alright.”

　　Despite that, a cold sweat broke out on Jiang Dai’s back. “You really are on a death wish! You’ve sustained such a serious wound, yet you’re still in a mood to joke with me.”

　　Immediately right after, she took out her phone to call the ambulance.

　　However, she reckoned she might as well drive him there herself as they would take ages to get here.

　　In the end, she still had her chauffeur rush him to the hospital.

……

　　Once the medical staff learned he was sprayed with strong acid, their faces took on a ghastly expression. They were then notified that they had not a second to lose as the wound must be taken care of immediately.

　　Since she could not gauge the severity of his wound through his clothes, she wanted to follow them into the room. Only after seeing it with her own eyes would she feel at ease.

　　However, Huo Rongshen pushed her out of the surgery room and stated hurriedly, “Wait for me outside, and don’t come in.”

　　Seeing how things had panned out, how could Jiang Dai agree to his request? With that, she stated, “No, I have to enter the surgery room. It was because of me that you’re injured.”

　　Once again, Huo Rongshen attempted to push her out of the room. He turned a stern look on her and repeated, “No, you can’t. Be good.”

　　She did not have the heart to keep him from receiving the necessary medical attention by continuing their dispute. As such, Jiang Dai was stopped at the door.

　　What’s more, it was adamant that his last push was feeble, a far cry from his usual strength.

　　Not only that, but he was also using his uninjured left arm. If his good arm was so weak, one could only imagine the severity of his wounds…… He must be in a great deal of pain.

……

　　The doctor treated the wound reasonably quickly. After over forty minutes, the door to the surgery room opened.  

　　Due to the incomplete bandaging, she caught sight of the wound.

　　Lying on the bed, she could tell that Huo Rongshen appeared far weaker than when he first arrived at the hospital.

　　On seeing that, Jiang Dai could not help but ask the doctor softly. “Is the wound serious? He looks to be in loads of pain.”

　　The doctor explained, “I was in a hurry to treat the wound, so I could not give the patient anesthesia to avert the agony. Now that I have only injected him with strong painkillers, it will take a while before it takes effect.”

　　By this point, Jiang Dai was pretty much incoherent. “Did the acid reach his bones? Will this result in any sequela?” 

　　The doctor reassured, “This is an external wound, so it is unlikely for that to occur. However, this wound area is relatively large, so the recovery process is crucial. In order to avoid the acid from reaching the bones, we have already removed the corroded flesh. So the patient has undergone much pain. Thankfully, he is still young, so it will not take long for him to recover……” 

　　She was unsure when the man on the hospital bed had set up. With a chuckle, he interjected, “President Jiang. If I ever sustain a sequela, you will just have to look after me for the rest of my life.”

　　At this juncture, Huo Rongshen’s blazer and shirt were already removed. He sat topless on the bed, as several young nurses were bandaging his shoulder and arm.

　　When this man did not speak a single word, his body seemed to exude an icy aura, causing the nurses and patients to feel so uneasy that they dared not smile.

　　Who would have thought the first thing he did would be to flirt with his lover and put on a devious smile?

　　On the one hand, the smile on Jiang Dai’s face ebbed away, but on the other hand, the nurses could no longer curb their grins. 

　　Upon seeing this, the doctor was also unable to restrain a smile. “Sequela is nothing quite so pleasant, so be sure to take things seriously and recuperate well. However, if you wish for your girlfriend to take responsibility, you can always try to take advantage of this recovery period……”
