10 I Want to Help Him

Ming Qu retracted her gaze, the smile on her face growing ever wider.

"You're so beautiful! You're the most perfect lady I've ever seen."

The male partner before her had not once taken his eyes off her face ever since they had stepped onto the dance floor.

It was said that French people were romantic. She did not expect that even conversations with them would be flirtatious.

"Thank you."

Ming Qu enjoyed the praise of others. She would keep a low profile if necessary, but would never pass up the opportunity to flaunt herself.

The strangers on the dance floor came and went. Only Ming Qu, who seemed to be enjoying herself, had no intention of leaving.

As the music once again switched over to the next song, Ming Qu was about to tell her partner to switch up their dance routine to a jazz when suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of her eyes. She was shoved away by a powerful force and she fell to the ground.

Before she could even recover from her shock, she heard the screams of the women around her. The entire dance floor fell into darkness.

Finally looking at the person who had pushed her, her eyes widened.

"Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu!"

Gu Yuzhen, who was unconscious, was lying on the ground. Her dance partner, who laid next to him, was also unconscious. The marble floor around her was completely covered by the remnants of the crystal chandelier that had fallen from above her head.

The once jovial atmosphere had now burst into complete chaos.

Ming Qu did not remember how they were sent to the hospital. She could only recall the group of men in black uniforms strictly standing guard outside the operating theater of the hospital. She sat alone on a bench, crying. Other than guilt, her heart felt empty.

Fortunately, Gu Yuzhen's injuries were not severe. An hour later, the surgery was complete, but he was yet to awake.

Ming Qu stood by his bed in the ward as she stared blankly at his chiseled face. Her heart was a whirl of mixed emotions.

He was the one who had saved her. Now that she had left, why did he suddenly appear at the scene to take the blow for her?

Thinking back to the scene at that time, Ming Qu felt a wave of fear.

The chandelier fell at such a grand occasion. Had it been planned, or was there some other reason?

Reasoning with herself, she stepped forward stiffly and grabbed his wrist, beginning to feel for his pulse.

A minute later, Ming Qu re-examined Gu Yuzhen's body.

At that moment, the ward's doors were pushed open, and two men in uniform entered.

"Miss Ming Qu, Sir's parents are coming. They're already on their way."

Ming Qu turned around, her eyes flickering.

After thinking for a moment, she glanced at the unconscious Gu Yuzhen before following them out.

"You're Ah Jiang?"

In the waiting room of the hospital, Ming Qu questioned one of the men.

The other person smiled bashfully. "Yes."

She remembered him from when she had overheard a conversation between him and Gu Yuzhen when she was still blind.

Ming Qu stayed in the waiting room for a while before she finally gave in. She got up and walked out.

Ah Jiang was worried, and followed behind her.

Father and mother Gu would be worried about their son, they wouldn't have left so quickly only after a glance.

Ah Jiang had thought that Ming Qu was headed back to the ward, but instead, she unexpectedly walked towards the doctor's office.

Upon reaching the door, she instructed Ah Jiang, "Don't follow me in."

Although he was puzzled, Ah Jiang obliged.

Not long after that, Ming Qu walked out dressed in a white coat, holding a medical tray with various medicines on it.

Ah Jiang looked at her, who was wearing a mask, with eyes full of surprise.

What would a young girl who was less than 20 years old know about medicine?

As they returned to the ward, they bumped into Father and Mother Gu, who were preparing to leave.

"Ah Jiang, where's the second miss? She usually clings to her brother. Now that he's injured, she has disappeared again."

As mother Gu spoke, her eyes inadvertently shifted towards Ming Qu who was beside him.

Ah Jiang lowered his head and stepped back. He replied respectfully, "The second miss is with a friend. She said that she'll be coming over in the afternoon."

As they spoke, Ming Qu had already pushed open the door and entered the ward.

She knew medicines, and only wanted to treat Gu Yuzhen.

The chandelier had hit Gu Yuzhen's back. It was almost as if his spine had been damaged. Ming Qu had entered the doctor's office, revealing her identity. Only then did the doctor agree to lend her medicine to help.

Ah Jiang entered the ward. Ming Qu had just pushed some medicine into an infusion bottle as she greeted him. "Give me a hand."

Ah Jiang was puzzled, but he moved closer anyway.

"Turn his body over. I want to treat him."

Ming Qu had given the order with stern authority. Ah Jiang's entire body stiffened as countless questions flashed through his mind.
