The female Doctor's face was pale, but noticing Ichiko's utterly despairing expression, she didn't say much more, instead speaking in as gentle a tone as possible, "The patient's life has been saved for now, but she lost too much blood and needs to return to the Hospital immediately for a blood transfusion."
In Ichiko's despairing eyes, a glimmer of light suddenly shone.
Her hand, where the red marks had dried, grabbed the Doctor's sleeve, "Really, Doctor! But... but I saw Haruko wasn't breathing earlier."
The Doctor explained, "She lost too much blood. After a person reaches this state, their breathing becomes very weak, almost undetectable by hand. The correct way is to feel the pulse in the neck."
"This child is lucky. Her self-recovery ability is very strong, and the activity of various cells in her body is much higher than that of ordinary people. The wound quickly clotted. After losing consciousness, her blood pressure was too low to break the clot, and with timely hemostasis, her life was hanging by a thread."
As she spoke, several nurses had already placed Haruko on a stretcher and were steadily and quickly carrying her out.
Inari and Ichiko both took a look, and while shocked by the expanse of red, a sense of relief also grew in their hearts.
The Doctor said, "However, the critical period is not over yet, but please rest assured, we will do our best to save her."
After speaking, she quickly left the room with the other Doctors and nurses.
As for Ichiko, the moment she learned Haruko was still alive, she closed her eyes and fainted on the sofa.
The constant tug-of-war between despair and hope, intertwined with countless regrets and guilt, had long since made her unable to hold on.
Rather, after such heart-wrenching pain, being able to hold on until now was already quite remarkable.
Even after fainting, she was still clutching the suicide note in her hand.
Inari sighed, covered Ichiko with a blanket from the side of the sofa, and then adjusted the air conditioning to a suitable temperature.
All in all, nothing major happened.
"This girl is bound to be sad again when she wakes up, but it's not easy for me, a grown man, to handle."
Inari scratched his head and simply took out his phone to make a call.
From the other end of the phone came a lazy female voice, "Inari, what do you want? If it's to go on a date with you, forget it. People will think I'm trying to climb into your Dongfang Family."
Inari said slowly, "Akina, I'm at Ichiko's place. The person I told you about last time, remember?"
"I remember, the commoner girl you were pursuing. Last time, when she had a conflict with Sento, I thought something would happen to her, but it turned out Sento was the one who got into trouble."
"She's not doing too well right now. Can you come over and look after her, and maybe talk to her to ease her emotions?"
Akina: "Isn't this a great opportunity to take advantage? You can just take care of her yourself and boost your favorability."
"I, Inari, am not someone who takes advantage of others in their time of need!" Inari said righteously, "When I pursue someone, I will pursue them openly and honorably. Besides, it's not proper for men and women to be in close contact; I can't take care of her well. Hurry up and come over."
"Really, Tsundere Yang Yang?"
"I said I'm not a tsundere!"
After much persuasion, Akina agreed to come help, and Inari pouted irritably.
He didn't have any female secretaries or schoolgirls; there weren't many women who could catch his eye at all.
He was different from that guy Sento with his chaotic private life; his circle was basically all men.
"Meow~"
Accompanied by a cat's meow from the corner, Inari looked up and noticed a man wearing glasses entering through the doorway.
Shin stepped in, "Didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Is Haruko alright?"
Inari looked at Shin strangely, "What are you here for?"
"To help." Shin walked to another sofa and sat down, then glanced at Ichiko lying asleep on the sofa, her tear stains still visible. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Haruko was really ruthless this time.
But looking at the situation, she should be alright.
So Shin looked at Inari, "Ichiko called me too. Didn't expect you to be faster than me. Anyway, it's good that the person is alright."
