Chapter 2374: Ruthless (3)
What she said did not change the woman’s opinion, however. “That Yun Yecheng is only a source of trouble and a ticking time bomb to us. He’ll spill the beans sooner or later. You should’ve done a clean job back then.”
“I get what you mean.”
“Hmph! Now is not the time for us to act, though. That bitch has people keeping guard at the hospital, so there’s no chance for us at all. You’ll only slip up if you charge into the hospital haphazardly. We’re in no rush, anyway; we can always act again when they’ve finally lowered their guard.”
“Noted.”
The woman then let out a snigger. “You can’t cause any slip-ups, Yun Na. Me keeping you alive is because you have value to me. Your greatest worth is that no one will ever suspect that you’re still alive, so I don’t want a repeat of yesterday’s reckless actions from you!”
She was incensed to know that the other had acted on her own last night without informing her beforehand.
Hell would be waiting for them should they make any mistakes at this critical juncture.
Yun Na nodded. “I got it; I’ll be careful.”
“Alright, I’m leaving now. Don’t go out for the time being. If you need anything, just call this number and someone will deliver the things you want to you.”
The woman then tossed a name card on the bedside table before standing up and walking away gracefully in her high heels.
The door was closed once more.
Yun Na locked the door and returned to the bed, where she turned on the TV again and watched the surveillance footage playing on the screen. The TV station had specifically marked the black-clothed figure with a red circle and was presently making a detailed analysis of their speculation.
There were all sorts of speculations about it.
She took a look at it before hooking her lips into a sinister, eerie-looking smile, which revealed her pearly whites.
...
Yun Yecheng’s condition had gradually improved and stabilized over the past few days of the critical period. It could be said that he had safely pulled through.
This week, he would be undergoing his skin-grafting surgery for the third time, where the doctors would try to preserve his eyelids, eyeballs, and other important body parts. If the surgery went well, he could retain a bit of his original looks in a certain sense.
He had suffered severe burns all over his body and his face was badly disfigured. As such, the hospital could only use skin grafting to transplant the skin from his hips to his face for the first stage of the facial restorative surgery.
He had been sleeping all this while. Although he would wake up intermittently, he could neither speak nor ingest food properly from his mouth. He was barely sustaining from the nutrition drip attached to him.
Yun Shishi could enter the ward to accompany her father now.
The moment she stepped into the ward, she noticed that her father’s body was smeared with white ointment, while his face was black and peeling badly like a cracked wall. Her heart wrenched to see him in such a terrible state.
She tried to study and memorize her script while keeping vigil beside him, but she could never focus on it.
While her father was sleeping, he would always make a painful yet broken sound, which gripped her heart in agony. His larynx had been damaged, so he could not vocalize anything. All that came out was some raspy and wheezing sounds.
The pain of having his skin and flesh eaten away by sulfuric acid was beyond imagination.
Even though he had been injected with analgesic several times, it was hard for him to have a sound sleep.
All this while, the actress could only sit at the side, feeling helpless.
It must be horrible and agonizing to live like this.
How could that person be so cruel?
On several occasions, the pain had gotten so bad that her father made what seemed to be like sobbing sounds as tears flowed nonstop from his eyes. She, however, could only endure the heartache and wiped his tears away immediately, lest they flow into his wounds.
On top of that, he could not drink water for the time being, so she would moisten his lips with a damp cotton bud.
Yun Yehou would often come over to keep vigil, too. However, due to his disability, he could only quietly watch his brother from the side and could not do anything to help.
