After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

In the world of books, Shen Ruo was thinking of a solution.

How can I travel back to the real world?

Last time I was tortured to death by Qi Wenshen before I could transmigrate. Do I have to die again?

She's afraid of pain.

The pain of being cut open inch by inch by a scalpel, the fear of watching her blood slowly drain away—even just the memory of it made her tremble all over.

After thinking it over, her gaze fell on the bandage wrapped around her abdomen.

The wound hasn't healed yet, and there's a faint stinging sensation.

If it's torn open and bleeds, will it trigger some kind of mechanism?

Just like when I was near death last time, my soul was extracted and replaced?

or……

Shen Ruo bit her lip, hooked her fingertips on the bandage, and pulled hard.

The bandage loosened, revealing the ugly stitches.

She held her breath and pressed her fingers against the wound, but before she could apply any pressure, the door opened.

Xiao Chen pushed the door open and was so startled that he almost dropped the treatment tray in his hand.

"Shen Ruo, what are you doing? Your wound hasn't healed yet, do you want to die?"

She grabbed Shen Ruo's hand and pressed the loose bandage back into place.

Shen Ruo tugged at her lip. "I want to see the wound."

"What's there to see? Wait until it's healed. That wound is ugly; you'll be traumatized if you look at it. And what if you get excited and the wound reopens?"

She carefully rewrapped the bandage, being careful not to tear the stitches.

Shen Ruo lay motionless, but her gaze drifted towards the window.

After Xiao Chen finished binding it, he tied a tight knot. "Don't untie it anymore, do you hear me? If you move around again, I'll have Dr. Liu put a restraint on you."

Shen Ruo nodded obediently.

Xiao Chen looked at her suspiciously for a moment, but still couldn't rest easy. Before leaving, he gave her one last instruction before taking the treatment tray out.

The moment the door closed, Shen Ruo's obedient expression vanished.

He dug his fingers into the gaps in the bandage and tore it open with a sharp tear.

Press your finger down firmly.

The line broke.

Blood gushed out, quickly spreading over the skin and soaking through the patient's gown.

Shen Ruo bit her lip, veins bulging on her forehead.

pain.

It hurt more than she had imagined.

She thought the pain from this small wound was nothing compared to even a fraction of the pain she felt when Qi Wenshen tortured and killed her.

Pain is pain, and it won't lessen just because you compare it to something else.

But she smiled.

"Now... I should be able to go back, right?"

In the real world, there is Xu Shi'an.

Qi Wenshen is here.

But he was a madman, a madman who could turn into a demon for another woman.

As she bled more and more, her consciousness began to fade.

She reached out, trying to grasp something, but only grasped nothingness.

"Xu Shi'an... wait for me..."

After applying medicine to a patient, Xiao Chen still felt uneasy.

Shen Ruo is acting a bit strange today.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She threw the medicine tray at the nurses' station and ran back to Shen Ruo's ward.

The moment the door was pushed open.

"what……"

Blood was everywhere, on the bed and on the floor.

Shen Ruo lay on the bed, her face pale and bluish, her lips ashen.

Her fingers were still resting on her abdomen, and there was blood between her fingers, which had already congealed into a dark brown color.

"Help! Emergency!"

Xiao Chen rushed over, pressing the bell with one hand and pressing down hard on the wound with the other.

She kept cursing, but her voice was trembling with tears, "Shen Ruo, are you tired of living? Huh? What's gotten into you that you have to do this?"

The person on the bed didn't respond.

His eyes were half-open, his pupils were beginning to dilate, yet strangely, they carried a hint of a smile.

Dr. Liu rushed in with his men.

He glanced at the scene, his expression changing drastically. "Too much blood loss, prepare for a transfusion, quick."

Xiao Chen stepped aside, his hands covered in blood.

She stared blankly, then suddenly remembered something, and shakily pulled out her phone and dialed the number.

"Dr. Qi, please come back quickly... Shen Ruo is suicidal... She tore open her wound herself and bled a lot. She's being resuscitated now."

……

Qi Wenshen was on the highway when he received the call.

"take things too hard?"

If this body dies,

If Ruoruo comes back, won't she be without a body to use?

Qi Wenshen's face suddenly darkened, and he turned the car around with a frosty expression.

"I'll be right there."

How dare you destroy Ruoruo's body...

He gritted his teeth, denting the leather on the steering wheel.

"Your fate is no longer in your own hands."

Shen Ruo fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and was admitted to the intensive care unit again.

Xiao Chen and Zhou Lan waited outside, their eyes red with envy.

Zhou Lan cursed, "Bastard...it must be that bastard Qi Wenshen..."

The elevator doors opened, and Qi Wenshen strode out.

Zhou Lan rushed forward, hands on her hips, and immediately asked the question.

Why would Shen Ruo be so distraught? Is it because of you?

In her opinion, the only variable for Shen Ruo recently is her breakup with Qi Wenshen.

Qi Wenshen remained silent.

He couldn't very well say that he didn't care about Shen Ruo.

His silence was interpreted by Zhou Lan as tacit agreement.

When she told you she wanted to break up, did you say anything really nasty?

"no."

"So when she said she wanted to break up, did you agree?"

"She didn't say, and even if she had, I wouldn't have agreed."

Zhou Lan suddenly realized, "So it was because you kept pestering me that my sister and I fought back with our lives."

Xiao Chen: "..."

This thought process, though convoluted and circuitous, still forms its own logic.

Zhou Lan became increasingly angry as she spoke. She took out her phone, turned on the recording function, and said, "Before my sister wakes up, I'm going to quickly record a short breakup message to put my sister at ease."

Xiao Chen tugged at her sleeve, "Zhou Lan, it can't be for that reason, right? I've heard of people threatening suicide after a breakup, but I've never heard of someone doing this because they can't break up..."

Zhou Lan glared at her, "I'm not best friends with Shen Ruo because of bragging, it's because of our unspoken understanding. I can tell what she's thinking just by looking at her!"

Xiao Chen: "..."

This tacit understanding is probably one-sided.

Or are you overthinking it?

"Speak quickly."

Zhou Lan held her phone up to Qi Wenshen.

Qi Wenshen did not speak.

He stared at the ICU door. Behind the glass, Shen Ruo lay among various medical instruments, her breathing weak, but she was still alive.

Just live.

Only by living can Ruoruo find a vessel to return to.

He suddenly spoke up, "I'll tell her to her face."

Zhou Lan was wary. "What did you say? I'm telling you, don't you dare provoke her again."

"I know, I'll talk to her about it properly."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan could be heard gritting her teeth.

Qi Wenshen sat down and waited outside.

It seems we need to give them a proper warning.

From this moment on, that woman's fate is in his hands.

She shouldn't think about dying or escaping. Until his Ruoruo returns, he must protect this body intact.

Shen Ruo woke up in pain.

The pain was like someone had ripped out her internal organs, scraped them inch by inch with a dull knife, stuffed them back in, sewed them up, and even tied a bow.

She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy to lift.

"...If you really want to break up with Qi Wenshen, you don't need to use such a stupid method."

"You almost got yourself killed. Do you know what Head Nurse Lin said after she heard about it?"

"She said Shen Ruo usually seems like a very smart girl, so how could she make such a foolish mistake at such a crucial moment?"
