Chapter 131: Flashback (Part 2)

*Flashback Continues*

"Do you think he'll live through this?" Ji Syaoran questioned Xiao Zhi Ren while they waited outside the operation theatre. Using their family's name, they managed to arrange the best doctors available but they still felt uneasy.

"She'll live. She seems determined to live." Xiao Zhi Ren stated softly while his eyes were stuck on his own hands which still were stained with her blood.

"She?" Ji Syaoran's ears perked up like a curious cat.

"Yeah. She. When I was pressing on her chest wound that's when I realized it." Xiao Zhi Ren's voice turned even softer as he explained while Ji Syaoran stared at him dumbfoundedly. Because she was covered in blood and mud, he really couldn't tell the gender. But seeing the persistence, he assumed that it was a man. But boy, was he wrong!

The silence grew thicker between them as none of them dared to utter a word anymore.
