Chapter 436 He’s Dead

CHAPTER 436

While they were on the way to the hospital, Lisa found a clean towel and wet it with the bottle of water she did not finish. Then she wiped off the blood on his face with one end of the towel.

Then she proceeded to clean the wound on his abdomen with the other end. Wang Tingxiao refused at first, insisting that they should get to the hospital first. But Lisa was adamant.

She even got help from the driver who brought out methylated ointment and bandages from nowhere. Wang Tingxiao had no choice but to give up.

By the time Lisa was done, his forehead was covered in sweat. His breathing was no longer calm but he tried to keep it low. He was in pain no doubt but he kept up an expressionless front.

Seeing this, Lisa's heart ached but it still could not help but let itself be enveloped by warmth and the love he had for her. She leaned closer to him and place a kiss on his lips, starting Wang Tingxiao for a quick second. Then he responded.

"Thank you for always being there for me, protecting me despite my flaws and past. Thank you for loving me still," she whispered as their foreheads were joined.

"Thank you too. I love you, Lisa."

"I love you more."

As soon as they got to the hospital, another of their trustworthy doctor attended to Wang Tingxiao.

"Thank God your girlfriend took care of the wound before you came here. You would have had an infection by now, Tingxiao. It was a very deep and wide wound. You should've been careful when dealing with people," the doctor said as soon as he finished stitching up the opened wound.

"You see," Lisa eyed Wang Tingxiao.

"Thanks and Hi Jun, I was careful. You should have known me by now," Wang Tingxiao refuted.

"I know. Just be extra careful even if. Also, don't do anything strenuous or else it would cause the stitches to come off and reopen the wound. And we don't want that," He Jun, the doctor said.

"I will make sure that he rests," Lisa assured the doctor.

"Hmm. Alright, I will have to excuse myself now. Bye."

"Thank you."

~In Wang Tingxiao's new house~

Lisa was taking her bath in their room while Wang Tingxiao prepared a fresh set of clothes for her. He took him and went to another room to freshen up.

He reeked of blood and it was beginning to irritate him. While he was in the shower, the scene of his brawl with Dong Yang came rushing into his mind.

He could not help but frown at one of those memories. Wang Tingxiao had seen a tattoo of a black snake on Dong Yang's neck while they were fighting.

He knew that tattoo very well. It belonged to a notorious underworld gang in their country. From his last memories, Wang Tingxiao knew that that tattoo was not on Dong Yang the last time they met.

'Could it be that ge joined that gang after that? Is that why he had the guts to come back even after knowing who he was messing with?' Wang Tingxiao thought.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Wang Tingxiao rounded off in the bathroom and left after drying his body. Just as he stepped out of the bathroom, he spotted Lisa sitting quietly on the bed.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"Kind of. I was preparing to make myself something when the whole thing happened," Lisa replied.

"Give me a few minutes and I fix something for us okay?"

"Do you need help?" Lisa asked.

"Don't worry. Just relax and I will cook," Wang Tingxiao shook his head.

"I am not talking about the cooking," she said before looking at his clothes and then at him.

"Oh! I will have to refuse your offer because the doctor told me not to do anything strenuous," Wang Tingxiao said while emphasising the word, anything, in his sentence.

Lisa averted her eyes from his and cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. Wang Tingxiao smiled before putting in his clothes. He was very careful because the stitched wound was still painful.

After he was done, Wang Tingxiao went back to their room to get his spare phone since the other was broken during the fight. He only called Li Fengjin when the food he was preparing was on the stove.

"Hello," Li Fengjin's voice was heard.

"Heh, Fengjin. It's me, Tingxiao," he said.

"Tingxiao, how are you? You took too long to call. I was getting worried."

"I think I am fine," Wang Tingxiao replied as he looked down at the place where the wound was located.

"You think?"

"I just got stabbed, that's all."

"What about Lisa? Is she okay?"

"Yeah. No scratch in sight. She is kind of stable."

"That is good to hear. Did you get the b*st*rd?" Li Fengjin asked again.

"Yes and no," Wang Tingxiao answered.

"Throw more light on that vague answer. Did you at least manage to chop off his balls?" Ye Chaoxiang spoke in place of Li Fengjin.

"Sadly, I did not. He died before I could," Wang Tingxiao sighed.

,m "How?"

"Lisa shot him. Twice," he smiled at the end of his response. He was feeling proud.

Li Fengjin: "What?"

Ye Chaoxiang: "How?"

"She just came out and bang... She shot at his side and before he could retaliate another bang... A headshot and he's dead," he explained.

"Whoa!" They exclaimed.

"Yeah. The interesting part of the whole story is that she did that with her eyes closed."

"Damn, man."

"Mm-hmm. But she was scared and then she almost shot me too thinking I was him but I convinced her. As soon as she saw the body, she totally freaked out," he chuckled.

"Is she really okay? I mean, I hope there would be no need for another therapy," Li Fengjin showed his concern.

"I doubt another therapy would be needed. But I monitor her and maybe talk about it once she is ready to."

"That is good to hear. Take care of yourself and Lisa too."

"I will."
