68: Chapter 68: I Will Wait Until He Wakes Up 68: Chapter 68: I Will Wait Until He Wakes Up Boom—
In the deafening explosion, a violent shockwave, carrying the montum to destroy and annihilate everything, swept outward in all directions.
The restaurant at Fresh Fish Manor began to collapse amidst intense shaking.
Fortunately, most of the diners had already fled the restaurant, so even distancing themselves far away; otherwise, this explosion would have caused trendous casualties.
Fang Bai exerted all his strength to push his speed to the limit, holding Tang Wenrou as he rushed towards the entrance of Fresh Fish Manor.
When the booming sound of the explosion ca from behind, Fang Bai knew things were bad.
In an instant, he concentrated his True Yuan into the area of his back, taking Tang Wenrou down to the ground with him, tightly shielding her beneath him.
Just as the two of them hit the ground, the powerful shockwave hit them like a tsunami, destroying everything in its path.
Fang Bai was shaken so hard by the shockwave that his internal organs nearly shifted; he almost vomited blood, and his entire back felt as though it had been viciously scraped by thousands of blades, a burning pain.
Although he couldn’t see his back, Fang Bai knew that his clothes were likely shredded to pieces, and his flesh was a gory ss, too grueso to behold.
“Back when I was the Immortal Emperor, even a nuclear explosion next to in this world wouldn’t dream of harming .
But now, this re explosion shockwave has gravely injured …”
Fang Bai sighed inwardly, then imnse pain engulfed his consciousness…
…
In Zhongzhou First People’s Hospital, outside a critical care unit’s corridor, a man and two won sat opposite each other with sorrowful expressions.
The man was Fang Bai’s father, Fang Gang; the won were Fang Bai’s mother Yang i, and his sister Fang Yun.
Fang Gang had red-rimd eyes, a deeply furrowed brow, and a face full of worry.
Over this period of treatnt, Fang Gang’s paralyzed legs had mostly healed.
Although he still couldn’t run, he could stand and walk like a normal person.
Yang i and Fang Yun sat together, embracing and crying; both had eyes swollen red from weeping.
The three of them had rushed over after receiving the news of Fang Bai’s injury and hospitalization.
When they saw their son and brother, Fang Bai, lying unconscious on the bed of the critical care unit, his body entirely wrapped in white bandages, Yang i, frail of heart, nearly fainted on the spot.
The explosion at Fresh Fish Manor had shocked the whole of Zhongzhou City.
In the incident, about a dozen people were injured, but fortunately, there were no deaths—a silver lining in the misfortune.
Among those dozen injured were Fang Bai and Tang Wenrou.
Since Fang Bai had protected Tang Wenrou with his body, she only sustained minor injuries to her arm and was otherwise unhard.
Although Fang Bai was powerful, he was still made of flesh and blood.
Struck by the rampaging shockwave, his internal organs were injured, and his back was torn open with countless wounds; he fell into unconsciousness on the spot.
After the explosion, Tang Wenrou pushed Fang Bai off her and, upon seeing his bloodied and mutilated back, the typically resolute and indifferent Tang Wenrou imdiately burst into tears.
Then, almost frantically, she lifted Fang Bai up, hailed a nearby car, and rushed him to Zhongzhou First People’s Hospital, the dical facility with the best conditions in Zhongzhou City.
Once the hospital staff had treated Fang Bai’s injuries and arranged for him to be placed in the critical care unit, Tang Wenrou promptly notified Fang Bai’s family.
With Fang Bai injured and unconscious, hovering between life and death, having his family by his side was the most important thing.
After Fang Gang’s family of three rushed to the hospital, Tang Wenrou, with red eyes, recounted the events to them before going to consult with the doctors about further treatnt.
Fang Gang’s family of three, then, waited anxiously for news in the corridor outside the critical care unit.
According to the doctor, if Fang Bai had only been injured externally, there wouldn’t have been much of a problem, but his internal organs were impacted in the explosion, resulting in damage and bleeding symptoms, which made the outco very difficult to predict.
The hospital had already taken aggressive treatnt asures, but as for how Fang Bai would fare next, they could only leave it to fate.
This wasn’t good news at all.
Tang Wenrou ca back to the corridor outside the intensive care unit with a devastated look, unsure of how to begin speaking to Fang Bai’s family, her heart gripped by excruciating pain.
She leaned against the wall, standing woodenly without speaking, simply letting silent tears fall.
Two years earlier, the man Tang Wenrou deeply loved had died in the line of duty while protecting her, leaving her deeply affected and depressed until now.
Now, Fang Bai, who bore the shadow of her forr boyfriend, had also been critically injured while protecting her, plunging her into an endless sorrow, feeling as if she were an on of misfortune.
If Fang Bai was alright, it would be a relief, but if sothing worse happened, Tang Wenrou would never find peace.
“Officer Tang, what… what did the doctor say?”
Yang i, wiping her tears, sat up straight and asked Tang Wenrou in a soft voice.
Actually, seeing Tang Wenrou’s expression, she had a premonition that her son’s condition might not be good, but she still harbored a sliver of hope.
“The doctor said… they’ve done all they could; Fang Bai’s fate now rests in the hands of the heavens… If Fang Bai can wake up, he should be fine…”
Tang Wenrou knew her emotions were affecting Fang Bai’s family, so she sniffled, trying hard not to let herself cry again.
Yang i covered her mouth tightly with her hands, not daring to cry out loud, afraid of disturbing her son, who was in a coma in the intensive care unit, and she whimpered softly, “If anything happens to Fang Bai, I don’t want to live either…”
“Fang Bai isn’t an ordinary person; his vitality is very strong.
He will be fine…”
As a martial artist, Tang Wenrou knew that a martial artist’s endurance and self-healing ability were far greater than an average person’s.
If Fang Bai had been an ordinary person, suffering such a serious injury might have ant he would never wake up, but she felt that there was still hope for Fang Bai.
Fang Bai did not wake up all night, and Fang Gang, Yang i, and Fang Yun did not eat, drink, or rest, spending the entire night waiting in the corridor outside.
Tang Wenrou also did not rest that night.
However, while Fang Gang and the others sat through the night, she stood still, like a statue, not moving at all the whole night.
As dawn approached, Yang i could no longer bear to watch and said to Tang Wenrou, “Officer Tang, we’ll stay here and watch over him.
You should go back and rest!”
Tang Wenrou shook her head and said, “Fang Bai was injured saving ; I can’t leave.
I want to wait until he wakes up.”
Seeing her determined attitude, Yang i sighed and said nothing more.
From her previous conversation with Tang Wenrou, Yang i knew that her son had co to know this beautiful policewoman because they had once cooperated to apprehend two fugitives, and her son had even received a cash reward of one hundred thousand yuan from the police for this.
If it weren’t for Tang Wenrou ntioning it, Yang i would have been kept in the dark about this matter.
Yang i was not happy that her son had received a reward of one hundred thousand yuan; instead, she was full of worry.
In her view, catching criminals was the police’s responsibility, and her son’s involvent was simply too dangerous.
Take the incident at Fresh Fish Manor, for example.
The three criminals’ target was Tang Wenrou; if her son had not gotten involved, he might not have ended up hard.
With a selfish yet understandable parental heart, Yang i’s inclinations were not wrong.
Yang i planned to tell her son after he awoke, that he should not do such foolish things in the future.
The reward money might be tempting, but what could be more important than her son’s safety?
