Rao Jie was taken aback for a moment, finally realizing that the claim about losing five thousand dollars was a lie. Huang Xiang knew she only had five thousand on her, so he concocted this excuse. If she insisted on leaving, she would have to produce the "stolen" five thousand. But once she took out that money, how could she run away? Would she starve on the streets?
It was truly… a calculated move that left her with no way out.
Rao Jie let out a cold laugh tinged with tears and pulled out her bank card from her bag, tossing it onto the coffee table. "You know the password anyway; the five thousand is all in there."
She was tired and didn’t want to struggle anymore. She wanted to leave, as far away as possible.
Before Huang Xiang and Rao Jian could react, Rao Jie had already dashed out.
Outside, it had started raining again without her noticing. Rao Jie’s memories were frozen in that rain, along with the last warm yet stiff embrace and a fierce voice.
"Are you messing with me?"
Wu Rong's dark eyebrows were furrowed tightly, almost twisted into a knot; he felt like throwing the person in front of him out.
The unconscious Rao Jie was soaked through, her small face an eerie shade of red while her lips were pale, and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
Her complexion had already been poor, resembling a ghost; now she looked like a drowned spirit.
Wu Rong exerted considerable effort to pull Rao Jie’s hand off his shoulder. Despite being a feverish and fainting girl, she had an alarming amount of strength.
With no support to cling to, Rao Jie instinctively curled up.
Wu Rong's face was dark as he opened his mouth to scold her but ultimately held back.
What good would it do to yell now? She couldn’t hear him anyway; better to wait until she woke up to scold her!
Wu Rong got up and went to Wu Xin's room, grabbing Wu Xin's pajamas and a large bath towel.
He wrapped the towel around Rao Jie, transforming her into a white cocoon.
Then he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder.
Rao Jie let out an uncomfortable hum, but Wu Rong pretended not to hear.
Carrying her, he got into the car and drove straight to the hospital.
Once everything was taken care of, Wu Rong found himself being scolded by a plump nurse.
The chubby nurse wore red-framed glasses that curved upward at the edges, giving her an authoritative look. Her eyes appeared even larger thanks to the glasses.
"What’s wrong with you? As a man, how can you take care of your girlfriend like this? She’s soaked through! You just brought her here like this without even changing her clothes or drying her hair! Aren't you worried about worsening her condition? Men these days are so careless; they don’t know how to care for their partners at all—always too busy..."
The chubby nurse, perhaps having taken out her frustrations from home on her husband, kept nagging at Wu Rong without pause.
Wu Rong felt her blood boil and threw her pajamas onto the bed. "What’s the deal? Now you want to change? Why didn’t you do this earlier, you..."
Before the chubby nurse could finish her sentence, Wu Rong stood up, suppressing her anger as she said, "I’m not familiar with her! Please help her change!"
With that, she stormed out in a huff.
After about fifteen minutes, Wu Rong returned. The chubby nurse was gone, and Rao Jie’s clothes had already been changed. On the low cabinet beside the hospital bed lay a hairdryer.
Wu Rong walked over and took a glance; Rao Jie’s hair was still wet. After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately picked up the hairdryer.
The hairdryer buzzed to life as her slender fingers moved through the strands, drying them and enveloping them in warmth. Rao Jie’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly due to this gentle gesture.
