Soon, a police car roared in, the sirens piercing the night sky, and the red and blue police lights flashed continuously, illuminating the parking lot as if it were daytime.

The police quickly got out of the car and dispersed in a well-trained manner. Some of them rushed towards Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou, while others chased in the direction the killers fled, trying to capture them before they could escape completely.

Jiang Ciyou looked at the wound on Lu Jingchen's abdomen that was bleeding profusely. She was extremely anxious and tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands were shaking so badly that she could hardly stand.

She quickly reached out and held Lu Jingchen tightly, crying and shouting in a trembling voice: "Jingchen, how are you? Don't scare me, please don't be in any trouble!"

The voice was filled with endless fear, worry and self-blame, as if Lu Jingchen's safety was the only important thing in the world at this moment.

Lu Jingchen's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, running down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

His lips had also lost their color and were trembling slightly, and every breath was accompanied by a painful gasp.

However, even so, he looked at Jiang Ciyou's panic-stricken appearance, still endured the severe pain, forced a smile on his pale face, and tried to comfort her.

His voice was so weak that it was barely audible, but it was filled with determination: "I'm fine, don't cry..."

Those few short words seemed to have used up all his strength, and every syllable was filled with heartache for Jiang Ciyou, as if it was Jiang Ciyou who was hurt instead of him.

Jiang Ciyou was unwilling to believe it. She looked at the wound that was bleeding continuously and reached out to cover it in panic. However, she was afraid of hurting Lu Jingchen, so her hands stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.

Finally, she seemed to be suddenly awakened, and hurriedly tore off a corner of her clothes, carefully approached Lu Jingchen's wound, trying to stop the bleeding for him.

Her movements were gentle and urgent, her eyes were full of concentration and fear, and she kept muttering: "Don't be afraid, Jingchen, the ambulance will be here soon, you must hold on..."

At this time, the police had surrounded them. The leading officer quickly checked Lu Jingchen's injuries, reported the situation briefly and hurriedly into the walkie-talkie, and requested an ambulance to come as soon as possible.

Other police officers set up cordons around the area, evacuated possible onlookers, protected the scene, and collected clues left by the killer, not missing any details that might help solve the case.

Lu Jingchen's body became weaker and weaker, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Ciyou used all his strength to support him and let him lean on him.

Her tears kept flowing, wetting Lu Jingchen's shoulders, and her heart was full of regret.

She thought, if she had noticed her husband's crazy behavior earlier, if she had been more vigilant in her daily life, perhaps Lu Jingchen would not have been injured while saving her.

This self-blame bit her heart like a poisonous snake, causing her endless pain.

Even though Lu Jingchen's consciousness was a little blurry, he still held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly, as if that was his only support at the moment.

His gaze always stayed on Jiang Ciyou's face, and the love in his eyes became more and more firm, as if at this life-and-death moment, he wanted to tell her with his eyes that he had never regretted standing up for her, that she was the person he cherished most in his life, and for her, he would even sacrifice his life.

Soon, an ambulance arrived at the scene and medical staff hurried over carrying a stretcher.

Jiang Ciyou looked at them as if he had found a life-saving straw, and shouted anxiously: "Doctor, please, save him!"

The medical staff quickly and professionally lifted Lu Jingchen onto the stretcher, secured him, and then ran towards the ambulance.

Jiang Ciyou jogged along beside him, holding Lu Jingchen's hands tightly with both hands, not daring to let go for a moment, as if Lu Jingchen would leave her as soon as she let go.

After getting on the ambulance, Jiang Ciyou sat next to Lu Jingchen, watching the medical staff busy examining him, treating his wounds, and hanging up intravenous drips, she couldn't stop crying.

Her eyes never left Lu Jingchen's face, and she whispered softly: "Jingchen, you must get better. We still have a lot of things to do and a lot of places to go..."

The voice was tearful, yet full of endless expectations, as if it was making a promise to Lu Jingchen, or as if it was praying to fate.

Lu Jingchen was lying on a stretcher. When he was occasionally awake, he would squeeze Jiang Ciyou's hand with a little force to give her a little comfort.

He looked at Jiang Ciyou with tears streaming down her face, feeling distressed. He wanted to speak to comfort her, but he didn't have the strength.

He could only use his eyes to convey his love and determination, telling her that he would not leave her so easily.

The ambulance sped along with its sirens blaring, cutting through the city's night sky as it rushed towards the hospital.

Outside the car window, the city lights flashed by like flowing lights, but inside the car, Jiang Ciyou's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave, and he was filled with worry about Lu Jingchen.

She kept recalling every little detail of their acquaintance. Those beautiful moments, those warm companionships, were like sharp swords, piercing her heart and making her more afraid of losing Lu Jingchen.

Finally, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.

A group of medical staff had already been waiting in front of the hospital gate, and a stretcher was quickly pushed over.

Jiang Ciyou ran along with the stretcher until she was stopped by medical staff at the door of the operating room.

She looked at the closed door of the operating room, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, the nurse next to her was quick to support her.

Jiang Ciyou leaned against the wall, covering his face with his hands, tears streaming down from between his fingers.

Her body was shaking, and she was almost unable to breathe due to the regret and self-blame in her heart.

When her friends heard the news, they rushed over, surrounded her and comforted her softly.

Some handed her tissues, some patted her on the shoulder, but her eyes were always fixed on the door of the operating room, as if all the hopes of her life were hidden behind that door, and she never looked away for a moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like torture.

The scene of Lu Jingchen being injured kept appearing in Jiang Ciyou's mind. The bright red blood and the painful expression haunted her like a nightmare.

She kept praying in her heart, hoping that God would bless Lu Jingchen and keep him safe.

She knew very well that in this life-and-death test, Lu Jingchen protected her with his life, and at this moment she also completely understood the importance of Lu Jingchen in her heart.

He was no longer the "gigolo" she had used to avenge her ex-husband, but the love of her life and the most important person in her life. She couldn't lose him no matter what.

After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room finally went out. Jiang Ciyou stood up instantly as if he had been electrocuted and rushed towards the door.

The doctor came out and took off his mask. She rushed forward impatiently, her voice trembling: "Doctor, how is he?"

There was a hint of desperate anticipation in that voice, as if it could decide her life or death in the next second.

The doctor nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face: "The operation was very successful, the patient is no longer in danger of death, but he still needs to rest for a while."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ciyou's heart finally settled down a little, his legs went weak and he almost fell down again.

Her friends hurried to support her, and tears welled up in her eyes again, this time, tears of joy.

Jiang Ciyou followed the nurse to the ward, and when he saw Lu Jingchen, who looked pale on the bed, his eyes became moist again.

She walked gently to the bedside, sat on the chair, held Lu Jingchen's hand, put it on her cheek, and murmured to herself: "Jingchen, you are finally okay, so good..."

Her voice was gentle, full of love and gratitude, as if at this moment, the whole world had quieted down, leaving only her and Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen slowly woke up and felt the warmth from his palm. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Jiang Ciyou standing by the bed, her eyes full of fatigue and worry. Her hair was a little messy, but she was still so beautiful that made his heart beat.

The corners of his mouth raised a gentle arc, and he whispered: "I knew that I would see you when I opened my eyes..."

Although the voice was faint, it was like the warm sunshine of spring, instantly dispelling the haze in Jiang Ciyou's heart.

Jiang Ciyou looked at him, tears in her eyes fell again, she choked and said: "Jingchen, you scared me to death, you are not allowed to take risks like this again in the future, understand?"

There was a hint of anger in her words, but more of it was full of love and concern. Lu Jingchen nodded gently, smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you are okay..."

The two smiled at each other, with stars twinkling in their eyes. After this life-and-death test, their hands held tighter and their hearts became closer.

They know that this love is hard-earned and the road ahead may be full of ups and downs, but they all firmly believe that as long as they walk hand in hand, they can create a brilliant life of their own.

In the following days, Jiang Ciyou put aside all his work and took care of Lu Jingchen wholeheartedly.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the ward, she would get up early, tiptoeing for fear of waking up Lu Jingchen who was still sleeping.

She would first go to the hospital cafeteria and carefully select Lu Jingchen's favorite breakfast. If the cafeteria did not have it, she would run to a small shop near the hospital and buy steaming soy milk, soft and sweet buns or freshly baked bread.

Back in the ward, she would gently wake up Lu Jingchen, help him sit up, and then carefully feed him breakfast mouthful by mouthful, her eyes full of doting, as if she was taking care of a rare treasure.

Helping Lu Jingchen wipe his body is also Jiang Ciyu's daily task.

She would fetch a basin of warm water, wet a soft towel lightly, and carefully wipe Lu Jingchen's forehead, cheeks, and neck. Every movement was extremely gentle, for fear of hurting him.

When she touched the wound, she held her breath, her eyes were so focused that it was touching, and she would ask softly from time to time: "Does it hurt? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me..."

When changing the dressing, although she was afraid to see the wound that had not yet healed, she always pretended to be calm and assisted carefully under the guidance of the nurse, just to make Lu Jingchen get better quickly.

At night, Jiang Ciyou lay on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Jingchen's hand tightly and fell asleep.

The lights in the ward were dimmed, with only the faint sounds of the instruments and Lu Jingchen's even breathing intertwined.

Jiang Ciyou rested her head on her arms, occasionally frowning slightly because of the uncomfortable posture, but as long as Lu Jingchen made the slightest movement, she would wake up immediately, look at him with concern, and ask softly: "What's wrong, Jingchen? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

She looked like a guardian who was always on standby to protect the one she loved most.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's busy and tired figure, his heart filled with emotion and love.

He thought of Jiang Ciyou, who was in pain and despair after being betrayed on her wedding night, but still stubborn and strong-willed. Looking at her now who has given up everything for him and is taking good care of her, he felt filled with emotion.

He secretly vowed that when he recovered, he would give her a better life, spend his whole life protecting her, not letting her suffer any harm again, and make her the happiest woman in the world.

Under Jiang Ciyou's careful care, Lu Jingchen's health improved day by day. His wounds gradually healed, and his complexion slowly became rosy again.

They shared the joy of recovery together in the ward and occasionally imagined their future life.

Jiang Ciyou would say that after he was discharged from the hospital, she would take him to eat all the delicious food in the city, watch a romantic movie, take a walk in the suburbs, and feel the beauty of nature.

Lu Jingchen responded with a smile, saying that he would accompany her to realize those dreams that had been put on hold due to being busy, to accompany her to see the beautiful scenery of the world, and to spend every ordinary or extraordinary day together.

As Lu Jingchen recovered, this thrilling experience gradually became an unforgettable memory in their hearts.

It is like a key that unlocks their deeper attachment and trust in each other, making their love even more indestructible.

And they also know that no matter how many challenges there are in the future, as long as the two of them join hands, nothing can stop them from moving towards happiness.
