Chapter 103 - Awake
Chapter 103: Awake
Suddenly, she felt a needle piercing her arm and a gush of cold fluid entering her body.
Qin Yu instinctively flinched. This feeling of being jabbed would be a psychological trauma for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t move at all.
“Give her an injection. It should ease her pain. Don’t worry, her vitals are stabilizing now,” A voice explained to everyone.
Qin Yu heaved a long sigh of relief. After listening to the explanation, even she felt the pain lessening.
Following that, a wave of sleepiness hit. Qin Yu slowly fell asleep as the pain gradually lessened.
This time, there was no dream, nor was there endless darkness.
When she woke up again, she first heard the monotonous beeping of the equipment.
Qin Yu tried hard to open her eyes, then closed them again. She was somewhat afraid of the light.
When her eyes were somewhat used to the light, she tried her best to open her eyes again.
The light in the room wasn’t too bright; it was only because her eyes were long unopened.
She tried to move her arms.
There was a clip between her fingers and the monitoring device. The act of raising her arm wore her out as she put it down dejectedly.
“Boss, you’re awake?”A surprised voice exploded in her ears. Immediately after, Ah Nan’s haggard face, which was magnified several times, came into view.
Although it wasn’t the best look, it was kind.
Qin Yu blinked her eyes and nodded lightly.
“Boss is awake! Boss is awake!” Ah Nan ran out the door like the wind.
Qin Yu sighed. Shouldn’t she have asked if she wanted to drink?
Sigh! The child was young and wasn’t street smart enough. The dramas she watched were all for nothing.
Qin Yu tried to move all four of her limbs. Fortunately, they were within the control of her brain.
However, even with all her strength, she could only move them a little.
Furthermore, her skin was in intense pain. Any slight movement would cause her to feel extreme pain, especially when it rubbed against the bed.
What the heck was all of this? Could it be that she was growing thorns all over her body?
Excruciating.
The door opened and many people filed in.
“Xiao Yu?”
“Xiao Yu!”
“Xiao Yu!”
“Sister-in-law!”
“Boss, Boss!”
Heads all squeezed over at the same time; all familiar faces.
Her gaze fell on Ning Chen. “Are you recovered from your injuries, Chen?”
The moment she opened her mouth, she was shocked.
Her voice came out hoarse and raspy.
Ning Chen reached out and grabbed her hand. “Don’t worry. The swelling in your throat hasn’t subsided yet. It’ll be fine once it’s gone.”
Qin Yu nodded gently and looked at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen smiled and said, “I’m healed. It’s fine. You don’t have to worry.”
Qin Yu blinked her eyes. She even felt the exhaustion from nodding.
Her gaze swept over everyone’s faces one by one.
Ah Dong, Ah Xi, Ah Nan, Ah Beim, Uncle Chu Nan, Guan Yue, and Uncle Wen.
Everyone was here and she was still alive.
She closed her eyes gently. It was wonderful that she was still alive and that her loved ones were all here!
“Ning Chen, what happened? Why is Xiao Yu shutting her eyes?”Chu Nan asked anxiously.
Three fingers were placed on her wrist. She still felt the pain, but it was not as painful as before.
Ning Chen’s steady voice boomed, “It’s okay, Uncle Chu, don’t worry, she’s just too tired. Give her time to rest. She’s getting better bit by bit now.”
Qin Yu wanted to nod and confirm Ning Chen’s explanation, but she was so tired she couldn’t even open her eyes.
“These wretched souls. What kind of drug did they give Xiao Yu? Vile! Evil! When I catch them, I’ll make sure they have a taste of their own medicine!” Chu Nan said angrily.
Qin Yu also wanted to nod. They had the same thoughts.
Qin Yu could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep again.
Chu Nan looked at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen smiled bitterly. “I wish I could cut them into pieces!”
Nan Yuan asked softly, “What kind of poison was it?”
Ning Chen said, “It’s a strong hallucinogen. The raw material comes from a plant in the primitive forest of Africa. It is used by criminals to interrogate their victims. Whether a confession comes or not, nothing good will happen in the end. There’s a very misleading name to the poison, Sleeping Beauty. The people who are affected die peacefully in the end, as if they are sleeping.”
“My God! How could they put her under such a poison? Heartless fools! If they kill Xiao Yu, aren’t they afraid of the consequences?”Guan Yue was annoyed.
Ning Chen didn’t say anything. However, his clenched fists betrayed his emotions. He was livid.
If anyone wanted to hurt the people he loved, he would make them wish they were dead!
