My Terrible Life in Those Years

My voice was very loud; I roared.

That night, when she talked to me, I felt something was off. And then, she actually lay on my bed and started pleasuring me with her hand. I almost took her, all because of that last sentence?

Return my debt of gratitude?

Damn it, you bastard, you stubborn, obsessive bastard woman!

The uncle and aunt next door were awakened by my noise.

When they opened the door and saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fright.

"Call an ambulance right now! What are you doing standing here like an idiot?"

It was only then that I realized what was happening, and I quickly asked the older woman to hold down her wrist so I could find the phone.

The older woman, being somewhat experienced, immediately told the older man to find some gauze to bandage the wound to prevent further bleeding.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately picked Du Yan up: "The ambulance can't get in; this is an urban village. I need to take her to the intersection at the village entrance!"

Her body temperature had cooled down, and my heart felt even colder.

If Du Yan were to die in my arms like this, I feel like I would be haunted by this nightmare for the rest of my life!

As I ran, I called her name: "Du Yan, Du Yan, don't fall asleep, please don't fall asleep, we're almost at the intersection..."

Did you hear me?

"Why do you have to die? What right do you have to die? That scumbag who tried to kill you didn't die, so why do you have to?"

I ran wildly, yelling and cursing as I went. Luckily, it was the middle of the night, and there was no one around. Apart from the trash under my feet, there were no other obstacles in the street that could stop me.

I was very fast, and the uncle who ran downstairs with me was left behind.

I arrived at the intersection in less than five minutes, but the ambulance hadn't arrived yet.

I was extremely anxious.

The uncle then arrived, panting heavily.

"What happened to her? What's wrong with her? You??"

The way he looked at me was off; he must have thought I'd done something monstrous!

I didn't have time to say all that: "It's none of my business!"

The older man was clearly not very convinced, but because I was in a hurry to save her, he believed me to some extent.

He saw it all, but I just happened to enter her room. At that time, we were still fine. How could it be that she committed suicide just a few hours later?

It just doesn't make sense.

Unless, I did something.

As the emergency lights in the hospital's emergency room came on, the uncle and I sat silently on a bench in the corridor, waiting.

I prayed that nothing bad would happen, that I wouldn't die.

You were so young, so kind, so devoted, how could you end up like this?

I looked at my palm, still stained with her blood, and my mood remained low.

Just moments ago, I was holding a beautiful, warm girl in my arms, smiling sweetly...

The older man nudged me and offered me a cigarette.

I woke up briefly.

Pointing to the no-smoking sign, the uncle pointed outside: "Go outside and smoke, get some fresh air."

Well, there's nothing we can do about it here. I numbly followed the uncle outside for some fresh air and a smoke.

He took a deep drag, choking out a loud snort that was particularly clear in the darkness.

Then, a slightly angry voice rang out from behind: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Smoking here? Don't you know where you are?"

A tall, slender nurse, wearing a square scarf on her head and carrying a tray, was angrily berating us from behind.

Hearing a familiar voice, I turned my face away.

"Little Lu Yao, it's me!"

The nurse took a few steps closer before she could see my face clearly under the streetlight.

The Workers' Hospital is the closest to where I live, so the car took us there.

Little Ma Li's anger turned to joy: "Jiang Ning, what are you doing in the middle of the night?? You're not here to see Uncle Qingguo, are you? He's all better now. He can be discharged tomorrow."

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. "Young man, you've only been here a few days? You've even gotten to know the nurses at the hospital? They seem quite familiar with each other."

I was speechless for a moment, then said dejectedly, "I'm bringing a friend in for emergency treatment."

At this moment, Ma Li got closer to me and noticed that my expression was off.

"Emergency help?? What's going on? Where are you?"

She looked around; this little angel reacted immediately upon hearing that there was a patient needing emergency care.

I sighed and said, "We're in the operating room now, let's come out for some fresh air."

Mary said "Oh," and moved closer to me: "Do you need my help with anything?"

I really need someone's help.

Du Yan didn't have enough money to pay the surgery fee and deposit. The uncle left in a hurry and didn't have his card with him, so he didn't have much money.

I'm in an even worse situation. I just handed my card over to Uncle Ye, and I only have a few hundred loose change on me. That's hardly enough.

I wanted to call Aunt Shu for help in the middle of the night, but is it appropriate to do so at three or four in the morning?

Will it scare her?

"I really need your help!"

"Go ahead, go ahead." This girl is so helpful.

"I don't have enough money. I didn't bring my card, and I didn't have much cash on me. It's not enough for the surgery and hospitalization fees. Could you please talk to them for me, and I'll come and pay tomorrow? Is that okay?"

Ma Li exclaimed, "Oh, I see??"

His eyes darted around. "Okay, I'll go talk to the head of surgery on duty. No problem. Anything else?"

Hey, there are girls who are addicted to helping others?

"Yes, could you help me find another caregiver? My friend doesn't have any other friends or relatives. I have to work during the day and can't manage on my own."

I'm sure she'll be alright, definitely. So, I've made arrangements to take care of her beforehand, which is much better.

A sliver of fear still lingered in my heart, a fear that she might never get up again.

I use this method to ease my mindset.

Ma Li rolled her eyes again: "Male or female?"

Huh? Do we need to differentiate between men and women for this?

"A woman, a beautiful one!" I really wasn't in the mood for joking with her, otherwise, I would definitely have tried to get something out of her.

But it's really not the right time.

"Beautiful lady? Okay, I'm off the night shift tomorrow, and I don't have anything else to do. I'll keep an eye on her for you. You can come over and relieve me after your shift, how about that?"

Hey, is this for real? This girl is a little too enthusiastic.

"You, you're serious??" Of course, we've only met twice, and we just ripped off that bald migrant worker together.

We don't seem to be that close, do we?

Ma Li was displeased: "What? Don't you trust me or what? Why don't you find it yourself?"

Good heavens, this lady immediately became unhappy.

I quickly smiled apologetically, "How could that be? I trust you completely. I just can't believe there's such a good person like you in the world, and that such a good thing has happened to me!"

When Ma Li saw that I was exaggerating, the corner of her mouth twitched, but she managed not to laugh out loud.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll go take care of my work now, and I'll come find you in the emergency operating room when I'm free."

If the uncle hadn't felt that this environment was inappropriate, he would have given me a thumbs up long ago.

Good lad, you've got connections everywhere, and you've only been here a few days!
