Since Xia Sanghuan had regained consciousness once, it meant there was no major problem.
The heart that had been hanging in mid - air finally dropped a little.
When he rushed in just now, she was sitting there slumped like a fawn that had fallen into a hunter's trap.
She was on the verge of collapse, but still managed to hold her body steady and stay conscious with all her might.
If he had arrived just a bit later, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Thinking of this, his heart ached dully, as if someone was chiseling it with a steel needle.
He didn't even dare to imagine what kind of treatment she would have suffered if she had been taken away by those people.
He didn't know how much information those people had about her. If they knew about her medical talent and her research on the Black - Boned Spiritual Treasure just like he did, what would happen to her?
Thankfully, there were no such "what - ifs". He had rescued her in time.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face in his arms, his nerves, which had been on high - alert after a series of stressful events, gradually relaxed.
The days of high - intensity work and the momentary extreme tension when he received the news that Xia Sanghuan had gone to the small western - style building alone had all turned into exhaustion. It surged towards him like a tide, slowly submerging him.
Finally, unable to resist the tiredness, he fell asleep too.
But even in his sleep, he didn't forget to hold the little girl in his arms, preventing her from being jolted or bumped.
She didn't know how long she had slept. In a daze, feeling the jolting of the car, Xia Sanghuan opened her eyes.
She reached out to rub her eyes and found that her vision had almost fully recovered compared to when she first woke up.
It was completely dark outside. The streetlights were the only source of light.
Was it already this late?
But then she remembered that it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived at the small western - style building.
It was the autumn - winter season now, so it was no wonder it was dark.
Just as she was about to feel glad, she saw Leng Chuanjin's face just inches away from hers.
That face was illuminated by the streetlights outside, flickering on and off, adding a touch of hazy beauty.
People say that "a person looks three times more beautiful under the lamp". Under the lamp, Second Brother's face was far more than three times more beautiful.
She couldn't help but stare blankly.
His smooth and fair face exuded a coldness that warned others to stay away, but because of the warm - colored lights, his features seemed inexplicably softer.
Under his slightly furrowed sword - shaped eyebrows were his tightly closed star - like eyes. His thin lips were pursed into a line, indicating that the owner was not in a relaxed mood at the moment.
She stared blankly for a while and couldn't help but reach out her hand to trace the features of the person in front of her.
His high nose bridge, delicate chin, and sexy collarbone.
Wait... collarbone?
As if suddenly remembering something, she froze.
The gradually returning sense of touch told her that she was lying in Leng Chuanjin's arms.
And she didn't know how long she had been lying there.
But most likely, Second Brother had been holding her from the very beginning.
Remembering her actions when she first woke up, she suddenly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Just then, Yun Ye in the front happened to notice the commotion in the back.
He tentatively asked, "Young Master, Miss Xia, are you awake?"
Xia Sanghuan felt even more embarrassed. It wasn't just about finding a hole to crawl into; she just wanted to disappear immediately.
To prevent him from asking further, she quickly steadied her breathing and calmed herself down.
"Are you still not awake? Never mind. It doesn't matter anyway. We'll be there in five or six minutes."
Not hearing any reply, Yun Ye mumbled to himself and continued driving.
Hearing that he hadn't noticed, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She carefully glanced at Second Brother again to see if he had been woken up.
Thankfully, he hadn't.
Since Yun Ye had said that there were only five or six minutes left in the journey, she just lay quietly in Leng Chuanjin's arms, waiting to arrive at the hospital.
In the blink of an eye, the car smoothly drove into the VIP underground parking lot, saving them from traffic jams.
As soon as the car stopped, Yun Ye quickly walked over and woke up the Young Master and Miss Xia.
Leng Chuanjin looked a bit dazed from sleep. He rubbed his temples before realizing what was going on.
Xia Sanghuan simply stopped pretending to be asleep and climbed out of the car neatly.
Seeing that she was okay, he finally truly relaxed.
But they still had to go to the hospital.
On the way to the emergency building, Yun Ye supported Xia Sanghuan, while Leng Chuanjin walked silently in front with a tense face.
She didn't know what she had done to make him angry, so she didn't dare to ask and just obediently followed.
Thankfully, the VIP parking lot was not far from the emergency building. They arrived in less than three minutes.
Then she saw her father, elder brother, and elder sisters at the entrance of the emergency building.
The Fu family members rushed up as soon as they saw her.
Fu Zeming hugged her tightly, on the verge of tears from anxiety.
Her second and third elder sisters also had red noses from crying, while only her elder brother was holding back his tears with red - rimmed eyes.
"Huanyuan, let me take a look. Are you injured anywhere?"
"Huanyuan, how could you go to such a dangerous place alone? Can't you just tell us if you have any difficulties?"
"Huanyuan, promise us that you won't do this again, okay?"
Her father and elder sisters spoke one after another. It was obvious that they were out of their wits with worry.
Only Leng Chuanjin and Fu Lingshi still retained their senses and advised from the side, "Dad, this is not the time to nag. We need to get Huanyuan to see a doctor as soon as possible."
"Yes, Uncle. We don't know Huanyuan's physical condition yet. Every second of delay is risky."
Under their joint persuasion, Fu Zeming finally regained his senses. He let go of Xia Sanghuan and pulled her towards the reserved doctor's office.
As for why they didn't go to the Fu or Leng family's private hospitals for treatment, first, it was farther away than the downtown People's Hospital. Second, it was more convenient for the two families to meet at the People's Hospital. Third, the People's Hospital was larger in scale and had more complete treatment equipment.
If Huanyuan's illness was delayed because of these reasons, Fu Zeming might have a recurrence of his heart disease from anxiety.
Since getting out of the car, she had been dragged around everywhere and didn't even have a chance to say how she felt.
She sighed helplessly but understood the concern of her father, elder brother, and elder sisters.
And she also knew that she had really gone too far this time.
She was pushed into the body - scanning room by the nurse, followed by blood tests and even a urine test.
Just as she came out of the toilet, Xia Sanghuan was then pulled for a full - body physical examination.
After all the examinations, she was stuffed into a special - grade ward to have saline and glucose drips.
When she finally managed to lie down, she felt too tired to even move a finger.
It seemed that the effect of the potion she had inhaled was quite strong.
But based on her years of experience of testing drugs on herself, there should be no major problems in her body at present.
The effect of that potion was probably just to numb people's senses.
