Su Yue bent her head as Xuxu put her arms around her shoulders . She patted her gently, her heart ached for her .
The reason Su Yue could endure the physical pain was that the psychological suffering she went through was even more painful .
Xuxu’s suffering was temporary but Su Yue’s was over a long period . She had endured in silence and shut herself off from the world . It had probably become part of her personality .
Su Yue’s wound needed eight stitches, and she needed antibiotics as well .
Su Yue’s eyelids got heavier as she laid on the bed . She tightly clung onto Xuxu’s hand as if she might vanish any moment .
Xuxu watched Su Yue’s beautiful face as she gradually fell asleep . Worry filled her eyes once more .
Once she had fallen asleep, she slowly withdrew her hand and stood up . She adjusted her blanket and gave Su Yan a meaningful glance .
Su Yan nodded lightly .
Xuxu turned around and walked out of the ward . She closed the door gently behind her .
Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng were standing outside the ward . Xuxu cast Ming Ansheng a suspicious look . She asked, “Why was she wearing your jacket?”
Earlier on when she helped Su Yue to change her clothes, she saw wounds on her back as well .
She didn’t dare to let her imagination run wild, and neither did she have the courage to think of what could have happened to their innocent Yueyue .
She also couldn’t decipher Su Yue’s emotions for the child could restrain herself very well . Her nonchalance and aloofness could conceal all her feelings .
Ming Ansheng glared at her . “Hey, Wen Xuxu! Don’t get the wrong idea . ”
Xuxu frowned . “Ming Ansheng!”
Obviously, she didn’t mean it that way . This fellow was really annoying at times!
Ming Ansheng knew what had made Xuxu worried, and he had merely joked with her .
He became serious when he saw how worried Xuxu looked . “It’s hard to explain, but I just want to say that if I didn’t reach there in time, there could have been disastrous consequences . ”
Xuxu felt as if it had lifted a burden off her and she nodded . “I got it . ”
But she knew that even if nothing happened to Su Yue, the incident must have traumatized her . The wounds on her back could attest to that .
It must have terrified Su Yue—she was still such a young girl .
Xuxu’s heart pounded painfully at the thought of that .
Perhaps it was because that Su Yue was really lovely or perhaps it was because of Grandmother . Su Yue had unconsciously become someone important in her heart .
“Who is Su Yue’s family?”
Two police officers walked towards them .
“I am,” Yan Rusheng answered .
The officers walked towards them and one of them was holding a notebook to record their testimony . “According to our investigations, there are four suspects . Three of them are currently in the hospital receiving treatment, while we brought the other one back to the police station . ”
It shocked Ming Ansheng . “Three of them are in the hospital receiving treatment?”
He only saw two .
Yan Rusheng glanced at him and answered, “I saw on the CCTV that two of them left halfway . ”
The police officer nodded . He continued, “There was one who got stabbed in the back and it was a deep stab . A dagger or a knife must have caused it . Another one had his arm shattered and suffered a fracture . He also sustained injuries to his neck and face . Our analysis revealed that the same weapon caused it . ”
“The other one had minor injuries although he might have suffered a concussion . ”
It startled Yan Rusheng to hear that there were wounds caused by a weapon . He glanced at Ming Ansheng .
