Chapter 618: Chapter 618: This Manâs Promise!
As he stepped out of the villa step by step, his body suddenly swayed, and he coughed, a trace of blood immediately seeping from the corner of his mouth. Li Beijue didnât stop, but quickly walked to the front of the car, bracing himself against the car door, and made a call to the driver, âCome pick me up at the vacation villa, fast.â
Soon, the driver rushed over.
The sight of his injury-ridden form startled him, and he went up to support Li Beijue in a panic, âMaster Jue, what happened? How did you get so severely hurt? We must go to the hospital.â
The most painful part of a whipping wasnât enduring the initial blows, but afterward, when the wounds tore open, each second was excruciating, deep to the bone.
Moreover, there werenât only whip marks on his body but also other injuries, overlapping cuts and abrasions of all sizes.
His face was covered in cold sweat, beads formed from endurance rolling down his contours. He disregarded the driverâs suggestion to go to the hospital, instead asking, âWhat time is it now?â
Why did Master Jue ask for the time?
Hospitals are open 24 hours a day.
The driver didnât understand but still quickly glanced at the time and said, â6 oâclock.â
âMaster Jue, please get in the car, Iâll take you to the hospital.â
Li Beijue stayed silent, gritted his teeth, and clutched the car door tightly, enduring another wave of intense pain. Another drop of sweat rolled down from his forehead, following his resolute jawline, and fell to the ground. He commanded in a deep voice, âGo to the pharmacy and buy me some medication. Iâll dress the wounds briefly and head back to the hotel.â
7 oâclock was dinner time; there was still one hour left.
âMaster Jue?! Your injuries are too severe. I think we should still go to the hospital. Iâm afraid temporary dressings wonât stop the bleeding, and thereâs a risk of infectionâ¦â
âEnough with the nonsense! I promised Chi Enen Iâd have dinner with her!â He was a businessman and a soldier; a soldierâs word must be honored. If he promised, then he would do it, even if he had to crawl there!
Moreover, if he went out only to end up in the hospital, that woman would cry!
He couldnât bear to see Chi Enen cry!
Seeing Chi Enenâs tears was worse than being stabbed directly with a knife twice!
âI must get to the hotel before 7 oâclock!â
His injuries were too severe. The driver was persistent, âMaster Jue, with such serious injuries, even if you canât make it to dinner as promised, Miss Chi will understand once she knows the situation. Iâd rather take you to the hospital. Your woundsâ¦â
The driver really didnât know how to explain it. Apart from the bruises all over Master Jueâs body, just the three whip marks on his back alone would mean lying in the hospital for at least half a month with just one lash. Fortunately, Master Jue was usually in good health and had withstood the Three Whips. But even a healthy body couldnât tolerate such mistreatment; with such severe injuries, he must go to the hospital for a medical checkup.
Li Beijueâs forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and he felt his back muscles throbbing with intense pain, almost feeling their pulsing beat. The torn wounds were not stopping bleeding; from the start till now, a fair amount had already been lost. His thin lips, slender from blood loss and pain, were somewhat pale. Seeing the driver still rambling, his falcon-like eyes abruptly darkened, and he roared in fury, âIf you donât want me to die, then go get the medication!â
If he didnât go, Li Beijue knew whether he could hold out until he got back to the hotel!
âYes.â Although the driver still wanted to take him to the hospital, he didnât dare delay after seeing him enraged, hastened into a jog, opened the car door for Li Beijue, then quickly circled to the front and pulled the car door closed.
The Lincoln made a U-turn and sped away from the front of the villaâ¦
â¦
The closest pharmacy to the villa was in the city center. After searching around, the driver finally found a large pharmacy.
He pulled open the car door, about to step out and buy the medication for Li Beijue.
