The sight shocked Ye Luo. Hurriedly, he caught her in his arms. Qin Shu was deathly pale, her lips were blue and purple, and crimson blood dribbled down her chin.
There was no time for thought. Ye Luo hoisted her in a bridal carry, panic ringing in his ears as he realized how cold and light she was.
"I've got to go back..." He wrapped his coat around Qin Shu, not bothering to change out of his wet clothes.
He brought Qin Shu straight to the hospital as soon as the boat docked.
Ye Luo rushed to Accident and Emergency. He drove there instead of calling for an ambulance because none of the regular emergency vehicles could get there as fast as he could. Time was of the essence, and he could not afford to waste any.
Even after Qin Shu was wheeled away by the nurses, Ye Luo could not find it in himself to feel relieved. He stood vigil outside the emergency room, anxious.
