Chapter 174: Seriously Injured and in a Coma
Gu Fei didn’t resist, allowing An Jing to grab him by the collar. His sharp eyes were tinged with red, and his usually calm voice was now filled with an unbearable fragility. “Yanyan is still in surgery. Are you sure you want to hold me accountable for this right now?”
Lu Yuqi stepped forward to stop An Jing. “Let go.” No one would be more heartbroken about An Qingyan’s accident than Gu Fei. “Yanyan will be fine.”
An Jing powerlessly let go and sat down next to Gu Fei, burying his face in his hands. Lu Yuqi gently patted his shoulder, comforting him in silence.
“Gu Fei, what’s Yanyan’s condition? Is he badly hurt?”
“I don’t know. I wasn’t with him. The doctor said the two cars collided and flipped over.” As he spoke the last words, Gu Fei’s voice couldn’t help but tremble. The car flipped over… He shouldn’t have let Yanyan come alone.
“He’ll be fine. He’ll definitely be fine,” An Jing murmured. Yanyan had already suffered so much in the past. Now that everything was back on track and getting better, why would something like this suddenly happen…
The surgery continued.
About ten minutes later, An Jing received a call from An Yu. The moment he answered, An Yu’s panicked voice came from the other end:
“Big Brother, it’s all over the internet! They’re all saying Yanyan was in a car accident! That’s not true, right? The person in the video just looks like him. Yanyan is fine, right?”
An Jing closed his eyes and replied with difficulty, “It’s Yanyan. He’s still in surgery. He’ll be fine.”
“What?! How is he now? Is he badly hurt? And… and An Nanyi?”
An Jing: “An Nanyi?”
What did this have to do with him?
An Yu’s legs felt weak, and he sank onto the sofa. “A video taken by a passerby is going viral online. An Nanyi was in the other car. Everyone is saying he did it on purpose… that he deliberately crashed into Yanyan.”
He had been terrified when he saw the news. The video taken by the bystander clearly showed Yanyan and An Nanyi. They were both being carried out on stretchers, covered in blood…
“What?!” The amount of information was too overwhelming. An Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief, his hand gripping the phone trembled, and his expression was incredibly complex. “How could this be? How could he…”
“No, I have to go there now. And Mom and Dad… they don’t know yet.”
“Wait, don’t tell Mom and Dad yet. Don’t upset them. You stay home for now, we’re here.”
“You can’t hide it for long. The news is all over the internet!”
An Jing ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Hide it for as long as we can. You handle it. In any case… Yanyan will be fine. I’m hanging up.”
An Jing hung up, his mind a chaotic mess, not knowing what to do. He saw that Gu Fei, who was next to him, had already opened Weibo on his phone, having likely overheard his conversation with An Yu.
The Weibo hot search list had exploded. Gu Fei hesitated before clicking on the most popular video.
It was filmed by a bystander at the scene of the accident. It was dark, and the video was a bit blurry. The surroundings were chaotic. Two cars were overturned on the ground, mangled and broken. Paramedics rushed past with a stretcher.
The slender young man on the stretcher looked like he was on his last breath. His delicate wrist hung limply over the side. His clean, handsome face was now stained with blood, his eyes were tightly shut, and the white shirt he was wearing was dyed red, like flowers blooming in the snow.
It was an exceptionally shocking sight.
Gu Fei recognized him at a glance. It was his Yanyan.
In that instant, it felt as if a giant hand had viciously squeezed his heart, crushing it until it bled. The man clenched his jaw, his chest heaving violently, his eyes glued to the phone screen.
A few seconds later, the paramedics pushed another stretcher past. The person on it was also covered in blood. It was An Nanyi. It really was him!
The man’s jawline tightened, his chest filled with rage and hatred. He gripped his phone so hard that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
He violently grabbed An Jing’s collar, his deep eyes filled with a monstrous rage so dark it was suffocating. “This is the fine son your An family raised.” His calm voice was laced with boundless hatred as he said, word by word, “I will never let him go!”
An Jing couldn’t refute it. He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry.”
This wasn’t the time to argue about this. Gu Fei let go. He said nothing more, just quietly stared at the door to the operating room, waiting anxiously for the outcome.
An Jing and Lu Yuqi had also seen the video.
An Jing’s hand trembled, and his phone fell to the floor with a clatter. He looked up and wiped his face, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Why… why would he do this!
An Nanyi, has the An family not treated you well enough all these years!
To think they had raised such an ungrateful wolf.
Wouldn’t it have been better to take the money and live a quiet life? Why did he have to do something so extreme?
Yanyan was innocent. He had done nothing wrong…
Lu Yuqi was also furious. He had never seen such a sinister and vicious person. Duan Ci was nothing compared to An Nanyi.
About ten minutes later, An Yu called again.
Father and Mother An now knew. It was impossible to hide it. The moment they turned on their phones, they received push notifications about the news. Song Shuman nearly fainted when she found out.
The three of them had already rushed out the door and were on their way to the airport.
Now, many paparazzi and fans were gathered at the hospital entrance, but none of that mattered to Gu Fei and the others. All they cared about was for the person in the emergency room to come out safely.
However, the news they received first was not about An Qingyan’s safety.
“Hello, are you Mr. An Jing?”
An Jing looked up at the young nurse standing in front of him. “I am.”
An Jing was very famous, and the nurse recognized him. She was also aware of the previous scandal involving An Qingyan and An Nanyi, so she knew their relationship.
“I think I should inform you of this.” The nurse’s expression was a bit strange. She hesitated before saying, “An Nanyi was brought to our hospital at the same time, but I’m very sorry. His injuries were too severe. We couldn’t save him. He has passed away.”
“We couldn’t contact his family, so we had no choice but to inform you first.”
What a complicated relationship, the nurse thought. Although one should speak well of the dead, this An Nanyi was not worthy of any sympathy. What had An Qingyan done wrong to be lying in the emergency room right now? Hopefully, he would be okay.
Hearing these words, An Jing’s face turned even paler. He nodded blankly, his voice hoarse as he struggled to say, “Mm, I understand.”
“The good are protected by heaven. Your younger brother will definitely be fine,” the nurse said comfortingly before leaving.
An Jing couldn’t help but sigh, his feelings extremely complicated. Whether it was hatred or resentment, the person was gone now, and nothing more could be said. But his heart still felt heavy.
Everything had happened too suddenly.
He could only pray now that Yanyan would be safe.
Lu Yuqi didn’t know what to say. He could only take An Jing’s hand in a comforting gesture. A moment later, a warm drop fell onto the back of his hand.
Gu Fei, who was sitting nearby, had also heard everything, but he showed no reaction. He didn’t want to care about anything else right now. He just wanted to wait for his young lover to come out of the emergency room, safe and sound.
To call him “Fei ge” obediently like before, his eyes crinkling when he smiled.
As long as Yanyan was okay, nothing else mattered.
This night was destined to be a long one. Every minute and every second stretched on for an eternity.
After what felt like forever, the door to the emergency room finally opened. A doctor in scrubs walked out. Gu Fei’s heart clenched, and he immediately stood up and strode over.
An Jing and Lu Yuqi followed behind him.
“Doctor, how is he?”
The doctor said, “You can rest assured, the patient is out of life-threatening danger.”
Hearing this, Gu Fei instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but the heavy weight in his heart did not lift. It was the same for An Jing and Lu Yuqi. They asked anxiously, “Then what about his injuries? Are they serious?”
The doctor: “The patient’s other injuries are minor, just some scrapes and cuts. However, he suffered severe trauma to the head and is in a coma. We don’t know when he will wake up.”
The three of them froze.
The doctor let out an almost inaudible sigh and comforted them, “Perhaps he’ll wake up tomorrow, or in a week, or a month… it’s all possible.”
An Jing’s mouth opened, and he said with great difficulty, “Does that mean he could be in a vegetative state…”
“Don’t be too pessimistic.” The doctor had seen many such cases. He said no more, just patted An Jing’s shoulder. “The patient will be moved to a ward shortly. You can go see him then.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor.”
After a moment of silence, An Jing came to his senses and looked at Gu Fei, who was standing beside him without a word. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but his eyes were empty, filled with a suppressed pain that was about to overflow. His fists were clenched tightly, and his shoulders were trembling.
At this moment, Gu Fei seemed so fragile he could shatter at any moment.
An Jing had never seen him like this before.
With Yanyan’s accident, Gu Fei was the one who was most heartbroken. His feelings for Yanyan ran truly deep.
“Gu Fei…”
“Yanyan will be fine. He will definitely wake up.”
“Heaven will surely look after him.”
“Yanyan is so strong. He’ll be fine, he’ll wake up…”
An Jing was comforting Gu Fei, and also himself.
Gu Fei took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. His voice was already hoarse as he spoke with a firm yet gentle tone, “I know. He’ll be fine.”
His Yanyan had already suffered so much in two lifetimes. All the bad luck had been used up. From now on, Yanyan’s life would only be filled with happiness and good fortune.
Just then, Gu Fei’s phone rang.
“Mr. Gu, you left your rings at our restaurant. Could you come and pick them up when you have a moment?”
“Okay.”
