The distance between the window of the second bedroom and the master bedroom was at least two meters. On flat ground, this two - meter gap would have been nothing to Lu Luochen. But this wasn't flat ground. Moreover, the balcony of the master bedroom was higher than the window of the second bedroom, and there was a railing around it. So when Lu Luochen jumped over, he didn't land firmly on his feet.
His body staggered backward suddenly. Before Uncle Bai could let out a startled cry, Lu Luochen quickly reached out and grabbed the flower - shaped ornament on top of the railing.
“Drip.”
Bright red blood slowly trickled down from the palm of Lu Luochen's hand that was in contact with the flower - shaped ornament. By the time it reached his elbow, it dripped onto the snow - white ceramic railing.
Lu Luochen didn't even frown. After quickly stabilizing his body, he straddled his long legs over the railing.
However, when he reached the balcony of the master bedroom, Lu Luochen found that the balcony door was locked from the inside by Wen Sining. Immediately, his sword - shaped eyebrows knitted into a tight knot.
“Uncle Bai, the balcony door is locked. I'll try to break in here. You go and find someone to pick the lock quickly,” Lu Luochen said, then lifted his long leg and kicked hard at the glass of the balcony door.
Upon receiving the order, Uncle Bai quickly told someone to find tools to pick the lock.
The building materials of the Lu family mansion were of the highest quality. So when Lu Luochen kicked the glass door the first time, it didn't break. Instead, his calf went numb from the impact.
Through the glass door, Lu Luochen could see that on the big bed in the middle of the bedroom, most of the quilt had slipped to the floor. Wen Sining was curled up in a small ball, and he could faintly hear her pained groans.
Anxious, Lu Luochen didn't care about anything else. He took off his pajamas and wrapped them around his hands, then smashed the door again and again with all his might.
A few minutes later, cracks finally appeared on the glass door. Lu Luochen let out a sigh of relief. He shook his fists, which were already numb from the pain, then gathered all his strength in his hands and smashed hard at the cracks.
“Clang.”
With a crisp sound, the glass finally shattered. Lu Luochen quickly kicked away all the broken glass beside it. After making a hole big enough for a person to get through, he eagerly crawled in.
“Wen Sining! Wake up. What's wrong with you? Are you still conscious?” Lu Luochen patted Wen Sining's face and said anxiously.
At this moment, Wen Sining's face was pale and she was sweating profusely. She was curled up tightly, with both hands pressing hard against her stomach.
As if hearing Lu Luochen's call, Wen Sining opened her eyes a tiny bit. But in her pain - induced daze, she couldn't see who was in front of her. Her body instinctively leaned towards the person, and her pale lips trembled slightly as she whispered in a soft, weak voice:
“Woo... It hurts so much...”
If Lu Luochen hadn't been close, he might not have heard Wen Sining's kitten - like groan. But since he did, the originally calm Lu Luochen immediately panicked. He picked her up in his arms and quickly walked towards the door, whispering as he walked:
“Ningning, I'll take you to the hospital right away. The pain will stop soon. Be good and bear it a little longer.”
Lu Luochen carried Wen Sining and opened the door of the master bedroom. Old Master Lu and Old Master Xiao, who had been pacing anxiously at the door, immediately surrounded them. Old Master Xiao was so worried that he quickly felt Wen Sining's pulse. As soon as he felt it, his expression changed abruptly.
“It's appendicitis. We have to take her to the hospital immediately!”
Since Old Master Xiao had been living in the Lu family mansion recently and often felt Old Master Lu's pulse, Lu Luochen had specifically learned about traditional Chinese medicine, which Old Master Xiao was good at, in order to know more about Old Master Lu's physical condition. He just happened to know that “appendicitis” in traditional Chinese medicine referred to acute appendicitis in Western medicine.
After learning about Wen Sining's condition, Lu Luochen didn't relax. Instead, he became even more nervous. His thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and his voice was tense as he said, “I'll take her to the hospital. Uncle Bai, get the car ready quickly.”
“Sir, the car is already ready. It's waiting at the door,” Uncle Bai replied quickly.
Since the incident was sudden, Uncle Bai was afraid of any emergency. The moment he heard the noise upstairs, he immediately told someone to get the car ready.
“Old Bai, go with them and take care of things,” Old Master Lu's turbid eyes were full of anxiety. Originally, he had planned to go to the hospital himself, but he knew that with his current physical condition, he would probably just be a burden instead of being helpful. So he had to send Uncle Bai.
Uncle Bai responded, then looked back at Old Master Xiao and said, “Doctor Xiao, please take care of the old master.”
Old Master Xiao waved his hand. “You can rest assured. If anything happens to Ningning, call us immediately.”
“Okay.” After answering, Uncle Bai hurriedly followed Lu Luochen into the car. Before getting in, he didn't forget to bring a piece of clothing for Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen had only been wearing a pajamas, and he had taken it off to wrap his hands when smashing the glass. So now his upper body was bare, and his perfect abs and V - line were fully exposed.
To avoid being mistaken for a hooligan, Lu Luochen casually put on the clothes on the way to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Wen Sining was rushed to the emergency room. In less than ten minutes, she was pushed into the operating room.
The doctor said that luckily the patient had been sent in time. If it had been half an hour later, there was a high possibility of appendiceal perforation, which could lead to more serious problems and even endanger her life.
Watching Wen Sining being pushed into the operating room by the doctor with his own eyes, Lu Luochen finally let out a sigh of relief. His body went limp and he slumped into a chair.
It was only then that Lu Luochen noticed that his hands had been trembling uncontrollably, and a strong sense of fear welled up in his heart.
He really didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to Wen Sining if he hadn't answered her call.
Would she have endured the pain painfully all night until she was found and sent to the hospital the next day, or... would she have died because she missed the best time for treatment...
Just thinking of the word “death”, Lu Luochen suddenly felt as if an invisible big hand was tightly squeezing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
As if he had learned it instinctively, at this moment, Lu Luochen suddenly understood his feelings for Wen Sining - he liked Wen Sining.
He slowly raised his head and quietly looked at the bright red words “In Operation”. His eyes were filled with a tenderness he had never shown before.
At this time, Uncle Bai came to his side and softly said, “Sir, the wounds on your hands are very serious. Please go and have them treated first.”
Lu Luochen glanced casually at his blood - stained hands.
His palms were full of cuts made by the flower - shaped ornament. The deepest cut still hadn't stopped bleeding, and a large pool of blood had dripped onto the floor beside him.
His right hand was the worst. Besides the many cuts on his palm, there were also a lot of wounds on the back of his hand from smashing the glass door.
