Lan Baobao was emitting hormones from the hospital bed, which truly was an incredibly powerful weapon against men!
Gu Feng looked at Lan Baobao with a complex expression. Now that she was in this state, should he notify Ye Zixun?
But... Gu Feng began to hesitate again. Everyone knew how Ye Zixun felt about Baobao. If Baobao returned to the Ye Family, would she have to endure those painful days again?
Baobao had escaped because she couldn't bear that kind of life. If she had to go back, shouldn't he consult her opinion first?
In the end, Gu Feng calmed the turmoil in his heart.
He decided to wait until Baobao woke up, ask for Lan Baobao's thoughts, and then make a decision.
"Mm... Zi Xun!"
He didn't know how long it had been, but finally, a weak voice echoed in the ward.
Lan Baobao, dressed in a white and blue striped hospital gown, turned her head slightly on the bed.
Her delicate body seemed to move comfortably under the covers, and surprisingly, a smile appeared on her face.
Gu Feng, who had been taking care of Lan Baobao in the hospital room, seemed to find hope upon hearing her voice. Seeing her face light up with a lively expression like before, he immediately stood up and rushed to her bedside.
Lan Baobao slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering. Still dazed and unable to focus clearly, she felt that the light in the room was a bit too bright, making her uncomfortable.
"Baobao, wake up! You need to wake up... it's me..."
"Who is it..." Lan Baobao just opened her eyes and couldn't adapt to the light in the hospital room. However, that voice sounded so familiar, so familiar; how could she not remember who it was?
This beautiful voice should be something she wouldn't forget after hearing it once. When did her mind become so numb?
Gu Feng, hearing her question, felt an overwhelming anxiety. It seemed that Lan Baobao didn't recognize him and couldn't see him either. What was going on? Why was this happening?
Could it be that she was injured in her eyes during the car accident? Such a cliché situation shouldn't happen to Lan Baobao.
"Baby, it's me, I'm Gu Feng. Slowly open your eyes and see if you can make out my face!"
Gu Feng?
Lan Baobao struggled to open her eyes, gradually adapting to the light in the room until her vision finally began to focus. Everything in front of her slowly became clear.
Sure enough, she saw that familiar face—it was Gu Feng, truly Gu Feng.
Perhaps seeing the man she trusted made Lan Baobao's tears flow down uncontrollably. She sobbed, "Gu Feng, Gu Feng, it's really you, it's really you..."
"Baby, don't get too excited; it's not good for your health! You're okay now; everything is fine now. I'm here; I'm right by your side, and I will protect you!" Gu Feng leaned forward and embraced Lan Baobao tightly.
Seeing her cry like that truly broke Gu Feng's heart.
Feeling the warmth of his embrace, Lan Baobao's tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
Everything that has happened these days seems to have erupted along with her tears.
Gu Feng watched her cry incessantly, feeling helpless. Lan Baobao must have endured a lot of suffering; letting her vent was not a bad idea.
He quietly held Lan Baobao, and as he watched her weep, it felt as if he could hear the sound of his own heart breaking.
After crying for a while, Lan Baobao finally finished venting and released Gu Feng.
"Gu Feng, how did you get here? What about Mu Jiangfeng? I remember I was having dinner with him; how did you find me?" She had just woken up and had no idea what had happened, nor did she know where she was.
All she knew was that she seemed to be in a hospital. Since Gu Feng was by her side, it should mean that she had been rescued from Mu Jiangfeng's grasp.
Did this mean she no longer had to be locked up in the villa and wouldn't have to go abroad with Mu Jiangfeng?
As soon as Gu Feng heard Mu Jiangfeng's name, his expression grew serious.
The truth would eventually come out; it was better to tell her now.
"Um... Baby, last night when you were having dinner with Mu Jiangfeng, he got drunk. When I found you, Mu Jiangfeng was about to take you away. Then, on the way while driving..."
"What happened while driving?"
Lan Baobao noticed something strange about Gu Feng's expression.
Gu Feng has always been a gentle and polite person, quite different from what Mu Jiangfeng has shown.
There is always an air of nobility and compassion about Gu Feng.
When Lan Baobao saw his expression, she felt that something must have happened.
She pressed, "Gu Feng, what exactly is going on? Don't beat around the bush. If you keep this up, I'm going to feel even worse. Just tell me directly."
Gu Feng gave a faint, helpless smile and said, "When he was trying to drive you away, a truck suddenly came out from the intersection. You both got into an accident. He gave up driving to protect you, throwing himself in front of you. Right now, he just underwent his first surgery and is currently unconscious in the nursing ward. In a couple of hours, he will undergo the second and third surgeries; we'll see how it goes then."
Aside from shock, Lan Baobao also felt a bit of worry. How could Mu Jiangfeng be so foolish? Why didn't he protect himself? He chose to protect a woman who didn't even love him.
That selfish and despicable person actually used his own body to shield her from danger at such a time.
What should she do?
Lan Baobao's heart was in turmoil; she didn't know whether to hate Mu Jiangfeng or to thank him.
"Will Mu Jiangfeng be okay? Will he wake up?"
"Maybe before the surgery, maybe after the surgery—one week, one month, or even..."
"Or even what?" Upon hearing this, Lan Baobao's heart felt like it had been seized and twisted into a knot.
Mu Jiangfeng said, "Perhaps he may never wake up in his entire life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Baobao uncontrollably threw off the covers and got up.
Gu Feng was taken aback and immediately pressed down on Lan Baobao.
Although she herself had not suffered major injuries, her body was already very weak, and she had quite a few bruises and scrapes. Gu Feng could not allow Lan Baobao to leave in her current condition.
"Baby, calm down a bit. Look at yourself right now; how can you leave the hospital room?"
"But Mu Jiangfeng is already like that. How can I sit still? I need to see Mu Jiangfeng!" Despite her anger, she still remembered the kindness Mu Jiangfeng had shown her.
Moreover, after hearing from Gu Feng about the reasons behind Mu Jiangfeng's condition, Lan Baobao felt even more unable to let go of him.
Lan Baobao was just that kind of person; the harm others did to her was always overshadowed by their kindness.
She would not forget the despicable things Mu Jiangfeng had done, but she also would not forget his good deeds.
Gu Feng did not listen to her at all. With her emotions already so heightened, if they really reached the Intensive Care Unit later, the situation would only become more chaotic.
What happened to Mu Jiangfeng, Gu Feng did not care at all.
But what happened to Lan Baobao, he cared very much.
"Baby, Mu Jiangfeng worked hard to save your life. You should cherish it. Right now, your body is too weak, and your face is bruised. What if he hears your voice and wakes up, only to see you like this? Aren't you afraid he might faint again?"
"I... how could this happen? How did things turn out like this?" Lan Baobao finally calmed down, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Gu Feng understood and could empathize with her feelings at the moment.
Mu Jiangfeng is a jerk, but even a jerk can have his good moments.
To Lan Baobao, Mu Jiangfeng is not just a pure jerk; he is a man who has cared for her and done her many favors in the past.
She wanted to visit Mu Jiangfeng, and Gu Feng would not stop her.
However, it really wasn't possible right now. Mu Jiangfeng was lying in the intensive care unit, surrounded by bandages and casts, with various tubes inserted into him. The equipment and nurses never left his side.
If Lan Baobao were to go over now and see this scene, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Baby, don't be sad anymore. The doctor said it's uncertain. I'll have someone make you something delicious to eat. You should rest well; I will stay with you."
He suddenly remembered Ye Zixun and asked, "By the way, do you want me to inform Ye Zixun about your hospitalization? Ye Zixun has been looking for you everywhere and is almost going crazy. If you want to see him, I can tell him you're in the hospital."
Lan Baobao's expression changed.
She indeed wanted to see Ye Zixun, but right now, it wasn't possible.
If Ye Zixun came to the hospital, he would definitely investigate what happened during that time. If he found out that Mu Jiangfeng helped her leave home, told many lies to keep her confined, and the matter of the marriage proposal along with the oppression and coercion she faced, he would not easily let Mu Jiangfeng off the hook. He might even directly pull out Mu Jiangfeng's IV needle and suffocate him.
Now that Mu Jiangfeng is in this state, he cannot be allowed to suffer any further injuries.
"Don't, Gu Feng, promise me that for now you won't let Ye Zixun know my whereabouts. I don't want to see him."
"You will have to meet eventually; are you going to hide from him?" Although he respected her decision, he also needed to convey a truth: avoiding the situation was futile.
Lan Baobao understood this point, but it wasn't about hiding; it was about not wanting Ye Zixun to be in the hospital situation and potentially harm another patient.
"It's not that I don't want to see him, but his temper... sigh. If he finds out about these things now, there won't be a second surgery; Mu Jiangfeng will definitely be killed by Ye Zixun. I think... I think it's better not to tell him for now!"
"That's true. Given Zi Xun's personality, he would definitely skin Mu Jiangfeng alive."
Sometimes, Gu Feng felt that compared to himself, Ye Zixun's personality was more suited for the underworld.
He was ruthless, vicious, and heartless enough.
She turned around and unsteadily walked to the bedside, finally managing to climb back onto the hospital bed.
