Gu Ci stepped on the gas pedal, stopping in the lane. The third car from the Royal Guard also pulled up beside them, and three individuals quickly approached, guarding them and escorting them to their own vehicle.

Without the need for further orders from Ji Chi, the three individuals protected Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci. The car that had charged into the field quickly fled the scene, heading in another direction, with Rong Li’s people following closely behind.

Lu Zhiyuan soon lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he was in a hospital room, and it was already dark outside. The glass shards from his back had been removed, and though he had lost a lot of blood, it wasn’t a major issue. Upon awakening, Gu Ci and Ziyu were both in the room with him.

Gu Ci had also changed into clean clothes and had some minor abrasions on her, just superficial wounds compared to Lu Zhiyuan’s injuries. Mother and son lay on the edge of the sofa, sleeping peacefully, bathed in moonlight, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

He coughed a couple of times, which startled Gu Ci.

She quickly came to the bedside, raising the height of the hospital bed slightly, and said softly, “The glass has been removed, and the rest are just superficial wounds. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Apart from the pain and a slight feeling of weightlessness, there wasn’t much else bothering him. The feeling of weightlessness was due to the excessive blood loss. Lu Zhiyuan looked at her hand, wrapped in gauze with a bit of blood visible. Gu Ci said softly, “Just superficial wounds, not too painful.”

Lu Zhiyuan restrained his emotions and pain, saying, “Cici, I didn’t scare you, did I?”

“Not at all,” Gu Ci replied, looking puzzled at Lu Zhiyuan’s complexion.

A person who had lost so much blood should have a pale and haggard complexion, but Lu Zhiyuan’s face resembled more of a poisoning symptom, with some bluish discoloration. Gu Ci worriedly asked, “Is there anywhere you don’t feel well?”

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and said softly, “Other than feeling a bit of pain, I’m okay. Is Ji Chi and Rong Li outside?”

Ji Chi and Rong Li were waiting outside. Black Hawk had some matters to attend to, and although Gu Ci and Ziyu were close relatives, their identities were very special, so it wasn’t suitable for them to stay for long. Gu Ci replied, “They’re here, as long as you’re okay.”

She woke up Ziyu, who was still somewhat drowsy. Ziyu was very pleasantly surprised to see that Lu Zhiyuan had awakened. “Dad, you’re okay, right?”

“I’m fine!” Lu Zhiyuan gently touched Ziyu’s head. “Don’t worry.”

Ziyu rushed over to hug him. “You can teleport, right? How did you get hurt like this? It’s not cool at all.”

Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but smile at his son’s childlike words, and his pain lessened a bit.

“Ziyu, let’s go home first. Dad still has some things to deal with.”

“Dad, we’re leaving now.”

“Okay!” Lu Zhiyuan watched them, mother and son, leave the hospital room. A mouthful of blood that had been stuck in his throat suddenly gushed out, staining the white bedsheets with a large patch of red.

He heard Gu Ci and Ziyu’s voices and forcibly held it in again.

Gu Ci, along with Ziyu and Rong Li, had left after saying their goodbyes. Ji Chi and Rong Li had just entered the room when they saw the glaring red on the bedsheets. Both of them turned pale, and Ji Chi reached for the bell to call the doctor, but Lu Zhiyuan stopped him. “Don’t call, wait until they leave!”

“Third Master, it’s already at this stage, and you’re still holding on.” Rong Li was furious and turned to find a doctor, while Gu Ci and Ziyu were waiting for the elevator.

Lu Zhiyuan urgently said, “Come back!”

His injuries were not something the doctors could treat.

Rong Li stood in front of the door, so angry that he wanted to smash it. When Gu Ci and Ziyu entered the elevator, Ji Chi hurriedly pressed the bell. Lu Zhiyuan knew that ringing the bell wouldn’t help in this situation; his condition was beyond their ability to treat. He remained silent to avoid causing further concern to Ji Chi and Rong Li.

This was the most malicious curse, and once again, the curse had come true.

Every time Gu Ci came closer to him, it felt like another stab to his heart and bones.

As long as they loved each other, this curse could not be broken!

Qin Wan had been waiting downstairs for Gu Ci. Her failure to pick up Gu Ci on the Lantern Festival night had led to this disaster. Although Jiang Junlin hadn’t scolded her, Qin Wan was determined to follow Gu Ci closely for the next twenty-four hours.

Gu Ci had already reported her safety to Dr. North and Little Cherry. Although Qin Wan didn’t show regret, Gu Ci understood her. “Qin Wan, don’t blame yourself. It’s just some superficial wounds, nothing serious.”

“If I had gone to pick you up, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“If you had gone to pick me up, I would have followed Lu Zhiyuan anyway.” Gu Ci had other things on her mind and didn’t want to dwell on this with Qin Wan. “Don’t worry about it.”

She looked out the window, recalling the strange behavior of Lu Zhiyuan in the valley, teleporting and then repeatedly coughing up blood. He had never looked good during those moments, walking unsteadily due to excessive blood loss. He had said he could walk by himself, but Gu Ci had insisted on carrying him.

When he lay against her shoulder, he seemed semi-conscious and in pain. At one point, she thought she heard him cry out in pain.

He was Lu Zhiyuan!

As a racing driver, he endured bumps and knocks during training without ever uttering a word of pain. Even after the car accident, when he had a near-death experience, she hadn’t heard him cry out in pain. As the Third Master, he was reserved, restrained, and would never shout in pain over a minor injury.

Third Young Master, on the other hand, was like a delicate butterfly, always wanting to show his best side to her, and it was even less likely for him to cry out in pain from an injury.

Where did it hurt so much that he couldn’t help but shout in pain during moments of dizziness?

After teleporting, he had vomited blood again. Could there be a backlash from using teleportation? Why did he keep getting injured? She hadn’t seen him get injured during the previous teleportations.

As a doctor, Gu Ci had a good understanding of a person’s physical condition. Lu Zhiyuan lying on the bed, gasping for breath like a thread of silk, made her feel uneasy.

Excessive blood loss shouldn’t have resulted in this.

Returning to the Blue Fields Villa and seeing Jiang Junlin’s car outside, Gu Ci thought, “It’s over, my brother is going to scold me.” Ji Chi had already informed Jiang Junlin of Gu Ci’s condition, and he knew she wasn’t seriously injured.

“Does it hurt?”

Gu Ci shook her head, and she didn’t dare to complain about the pain. “It’s just some scratches.”

“You’re pretty confident, huh? Going up the mountain to watch the stars and the moon, leaving one person behind,” Jiang Junlin commented with a hint of sarcasm, an unusual tone for him.

Gu Ci admitted defeat, “Brother, 1 was wrong, it won’t happen again, I promise!”

“Didn’t you break up?” Jiang Junlin asked, “With this attitude, does it seem like you’ve broken up?”

“Even after a breakup, you can still be friends.”

“That’s an interesting perspective.”

Gu Ci asked, “What about you and Ji Chi? After breaking up, don’t you plan to be friends?”

Jiang Junlin’s face darkened, and Qin Wan said, “You two siblings shouldn’t hurt each other. Isn’t Third Master more seriously injured? He deserved it!” Jiang Junlin had no sympathy for Lu Zhiyuan, sympathizing with the enemy was like seeking trouble!

Gu Ziyu said with a hint of grievance, “Dad is also quite pitiful, he looked like he was about to die.”

Gu Ci frowned and gave her son a glance. “Ziyu, children should be seen and not heard.”

Don’t glare at me, it’s so scary!

Dad is indeed Mom’s favorite.

Gu Ci wasn’t angry, but her son’s words reminded her that Lu Zhiyuan did indeed look like he was on the verge of death. While Lu Zhiyuan was sleeping, she had reviewed his medical records and the surgical procedure.

There was no reason for him to be injured so severely!
