One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife - Chapter 4478

Chapter 4478 The Other Side 447

In his daze, Hua Jin had locked his grip tightly around Gong Jie’s vest, unwilling to let go.

Vermilion Bird’s eyes flickered. For some reason, she felt that the actor’s reliance on Gong Jie was unusual.

The man’s lips curled into a smile as he tightened his arms around the actor. “It’s okay. I can carry him.”

The actor was not heavy, it was nothing to him. Hua Jin was so badly injured now that he was worried about Vermilion Bird causing more damage with her roughness.

!!
Vermilion Bird nodded and did not insist.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Alice and Natalia are back safely, too. They have light injuries. Natalia was obviously in shock. I’m afraid this has caused some psychological trauma.”

“Okay. As long as they’re fine.” The man returned to his senses and glanced at Hua Jin, whom he was carrying in his arms.

Vermilion Bird said to him, “We must leave this place as soon as possible. Young Master Jie, most of the East African expatriates have evacuated. The war is about to start. Let’s leave this place quickly.”

“Alright.” The man carried the actor into the car, which had arrived at the port. Once onboard the cargo ship, the medical staff swarmed over…

…

The medical staff were not able to perform major surgeries on the ship. However, after an examination, they concluded that Hua Jin did not suffer any serious injuries. Some of the severe whip wounds had already been carefully stitched up. Other than the damage to his eardrums and temporary hearing loss, there was nothing serious.

It was just that he was too weak. He had not had clean food and water for several days and nights. There was a certain degree of bacterial infection in his body.

Hua Jin had fainted from exhaustion. Initially, he had relied on his amazing willpower to sustain himself as they made their way back. However, upon arriving at their destination, he was finally relieved and immediately passed out.

His wound was infected and he ran a high fever while on the ship. Fortunately, after emergency infusion and treatment, although the high fever was erratic, he did not develop pneumonia.

During the two days on the ship, Gong Jie stayed by his side.

Other than Natalia, he was most worried about the actor. Very strange. This feeling made him a little suspicious. Initially, he did not think so, but now that he had calmed down, he felt that he was taking too big a risk, dashing off into the war zone to rescue Hua Jin.

He had never been an impulsive person. Especially when his own safety was at stake. In the past, he had always been cautious and would think twice before doing anything. However, when it came to this matter concerning Hua Jin, he had lost his rationality and sharp judgment.

Thinking about it carefully, if they had not been lucky enough, it would have been impossible to escape that sort of predicament. In fact, he was also exhausted. He should have been taking a good rest, but Alice said that Hua Jin’s condition was not very optimistic. Although his life was not in danger, he was running a high fever and it was hard to tell how he was doing.

On the ship, medical treatments were limited and no further judgment could be made. This worried Gong Jie, so he stayed by his side. When he was tired, he would lie down beside him, or at the end of the bed to rest for a while.

Other than resting, he was also searching for an answer. Searching for an answer to these feelings he had that he didn’t even understand. Initially, he felt an inexplicable hostility towards Hua Jin. At that time, Yun Shishi was very important to him. He wanted to be her only younger brother. But at some point, that special position was taken away by someone else.
