In the open-air parking lot, as soon as Gu Yuanzhou’s car stopped, two masked men wielding machetes rushed over and began hacking at him.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, his driver remained paralyzed with fear inside the car.

Although Gu Yuanzhou was tall, he was unarmed. How could he possibly stand a chance against a group of desperados, armed as they were?

He attempted to run around the car, but was soon cornered.

Witnessing the blood spatters, I quickly darted towards the hotel entrance, ripped the fire hydrant hose off the wall, and sprayed the attackers with high-pressure water.

The two thugs were knocked down by the force of the gushing water.

Seizing the opportunity, I yelled,

“I’ve called the police! They’re on their way!’

Upon hearing my words, the two attackers finally scrambled to their feet and fled.

I dropped the hose and hurried over to Gu Yuanzhou.

His current state was horrible to look at.

His suit had been slashed to pieces, revealing his white shirt, now stained a deep crimson. Pools of blood and water merged on the ground.

His skin was deathly pale from blood loss. As I approached him, he grasped my hand tightly.

“President Gu… You’ll be fine, I’ll save you!’

“Deep breaths yes, like that…”

Given the amount of blood he had lost, I was sure he had severed a major artery. If his heart rate increased, he would quickly bleed out.

With my aunt being a renowned surgeon in A City, I had picked up quite a bit of medical knowledge during my frequent visits to her lab as a child.

I knelt down to calm him and soon found the bleeding point on his abdomen.

I took off my shirt, tore it into strips to bandage his wound, and dialed 120 for an ambulance.

Then, I sat beside Gu Yuanzhou, keeping him company.

At first, he was lucid.

But as time passed, he began to falter. He weakly called out a name that I barely could make out.

Two words.

Upon hearing the name, my heart sunk. It wasn’t my name.

So, in the end, I wasn’t the one in his heart. Even on the brink of death, he thought of another woman.

The ambulance arrived soon enough and I accompanied him to the hospital.

Luckily, my timely first aid had stemmed the blood loss. After the emergency doctors treated him, his life was no longer in danger.

Wenya arrived at the hospital by then.

I was sitting absent-mindedly on a bench in the corridor.

“Are you okay?”

Wenya pointed to the blood stains on me. “Uh, I’m fine… This is Gu Yuanzhou’s blood!”

“Is he dead?”

Seeing Wenya’s expression, I shook my head,

“No, although he was injured in the abdomen and nicked an artery, it’s already been stitched up.”

Wenya let out a sigh of relief and muttered,

“Oh well, what a bunch of idiots! I only gave them a thousand yuan to teach him a lesson. I didn’t expect them to use knives! That said, Gu Yuanzhou does deserve it. Why should you and your child suffer while he enjoys everything?”

Seeing my face darken, Wenya asked,

“Wait, are you upset for him?” I shook my head weakly,

“He’s not worth it!”

Thinking I came to my senses, Wenya patted on my shoulder saying,

“That’s the spirit! Don’t waste your time on him. As women, we need to take care of ourselves…

I suddenly got up and told her, “You should go home for now. Let’s not meet for a while!”

“Really, you’re too worried!”

Wenya was nonchalant.

She was still exhilarated by the fact that she had punished a scumbag.

But I knew that Gu Yuanzhou would never let this slide. For safety’s sake, it was better that Wenya avoided him.

Wenya agreed to my suggestion and left.

Soon after, Annie and some executives from the company arrived to pay a visit.

I blocked the throng of visitors at the door.

“Sorry, President Gu is not seeing anyone at the moment!”

My cold demeanor displeased Annie.

Her raised voice, seemingly intended to let Gu Yuanzhou hear from his room, called out.

“Song Xiaoyun, who do you think you are? By what right do you refuse us to see President Gu? Don’t forget, President Gu is not yours alone. He belongs to the entire company. We are all concerned about him.”

I took off my coat, revealing the blood-stained clothes beneath.

“By this right! I saved his life! What have you done?”

Annie fell silent.

After all, there were not many women in the workplace like me who would literally bleed for their work.

They, with their glamorous makeup, couldn’t even tolerate the smell of blood. They held their noses and took a step back.

Or perhaps it was my blood-smeared face that intimidated them.

One of the managers stepped forward, handing me the bouquet he was holding,

We just wanted to show our care. Could you please pass these flowers to President Gu?” “Yes, fine. I will add your names to the list and give it to President Gu!”

“Thank you!’

The managers thanked me and wisely left.

Only Annie took back her flowers, sneering before leaving.

I returned to the ward.

After cleaning up some of the bloodstains, I pulled a chair and sat next to Gu Yuanzhou.

Staring at the man’s pale face, with his deep-set features, he suddenly seemed like a stranger to me.

Throughout the night, Gu Yuanzhou remained unconscious.

I stayed by his side without moving an inch.

At the break of dawn, as I dozed off beside his bed, I heard him murmuring that woman’s name in his sleep..
