Stop There, Daddy

Wen Shuyue opened her eyes with great difficulty. Blood was slowly trickling from her forehead to the corners of her eyes. Wen Shuyue only felt pain in her head and eyes.

Wen Shuyue tried hard to crawl outside so that someone would see her. She propped herself on two elbows to edge forward. Her legs were limp, and she felt dizzy. She didn’t make it. The man grabbed her legs and dragged her brutally back to the women’s bathroom.

“No!” Wen Shuyue said in a trembling voice. The man roughly dragged her through the door, and Wen Shuyue felt a sharp pain when her body hit the door frame. She grunted. The pain sobered her up.

Wen Shuyue tightly grasped the door frame and tried not to be dragged by the man. She tried her best to shout, “Help…”

The man covered her mouth with one hand and hit her hand that grasped the door frame forcefully. In a while, her hand was red from the beating. She loosened her grip and got dragged inside the bathroom.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

The man locked the door of the bathroom. He stared at Wen Shuyue with hatred in his eyes. He took out a rope and trussed her tightly. He picked up a restaurant staff uniform and gagged her with it. He kicked at her belly and stamped his foot hard on her stomach as if he was venting his anger.

Wen Shuyue groaned and looked at him with horror. When the man stopped, she struggled to sit up and edged to the corner, trying to stay away from the man.

“Do you think you will be saved? Even if you hide in the toilette, you can’t change the fact that you will die here,” the man said ferociously. His ugly face was terrible.

Wen Shuyue shook her head vigorously, and tears streaked her face. She trembled in fear. When she saw the man take out a knife and approach her, she tried to edge back. She widened her terrified eyes and watched him wave the knife at her. “No, I don’t want to die. He Siming, save me. Help.” She couldn’t make a sound.

He Siming saw that the dishes were served in the restaurant, but Wen Shuyue hadn’t come back from the bathroom, so he took out his cellphone to call her. As no one answered the phone, he quickly rose and went to the bathroom.

As soon as he reached the bathroom, he heard a muffled groan and realized something was wrong. He tried to open the door in vain. He didn’t hesitate and kicked open the bathroom door. He saw the man raising a knife to stab Wen Shuyue.

The man was angry that he got interrupted. He wouldn’t give up, so he turned around to stab at He Siming, who dodged. He Siming hurried to step in front of Wen Shuyue and looked at the man with murderous intent in his eyes.

The man saw that he had failed, and they were attracting attention, so he hastily ran away. After the man left, He Siming squatted and took the uniform out of Wen Shuyue’s mouth and untied her. It pained him to see her tear-stained, panic-stricken face. He held her tightly in his arms.

The familiar scent relieved Wen Shuyue’s terror. She held He Siming tightly and collapsed, crying out loud. He Siming agonized. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he hadn’t arrived in time. He stroked Wen Shuyue’s back gently as if she was a child.

Two minutes later, the waiters heard the commotion and came over, and some customers came to inquire about it. No one dared to chase He Siming away. After all, he was a big shot, and they couldn’t afford to offend him.

Seeing that a crowd was forming and Wen Shuyue calmed down a bit, He Siming carried her with his arms and went out of the restaurant. Guan Yue was surprised to see He Siming carry Wen Shuyue out. When he approached them, he saw the blood and tears on Wen Shuyue’s face and realized the situation was serious. He quickly opened the door and helped He Siming get in the car.

“Go to the hospital,” He Siming said coldly. Guan Yue quickly sped up to the hospital.

He Siming wanted to put Wen Shuyue down in the back seat so that she could rest for a while. He wanted to treat her wound, but Wen Shuyue tightly held his clothes and didn’t allow him to move. He could only hold Wen Shuyue tightly to give her a sense of security.

Wen Shuyue’s mind was filled with the man’s ferocious face. He was like a demon from the hell. He hit her, stamped on her, bound her, and even tried to kill her. Wen Shuyue unconsciously trembled and closed her eyes in fear, trying to get rid of the man’s scary face.

“Shuyue, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’ll protect you. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s over,” He Siming said as he gently stroked her hair. Although he did that clumsily, he was unusually gentle. Guan Yue had never heard He Siming gently say such touching words before, and he was surprised. This was true love.

“I thought I wouldn’t see you again. I’m scared.” He Siming’s comfort warmed Wen Shuyue’s shaky heart. She held him and sobbed.

“It’s all my fault. I should have accompanied you. I’m sorry. I promise you that I will find that man. I won’t let him off.” He Siming felt guilty and agonized. He would punish that man in person. He would make him miserable. He would let the man know about the consequence of hurting his woman.

“Okay,” Wen Shuyue said with a muffled voice. Although the man was still haunting her, she felt safe with He Siming by her side.

Wen Shuyue fell asleep for she was panic-stricken and tired. She clutched at He Siming’s clothes and frowned in her sleep. There were traces of tears around the corners of her eyes. It pained He Siming to look at her wounded body, especially the bloodstains on her face.

The car pulled over at the entrance of the hospital, and Guan Yue was about to remind He Siming, but the latter waved his hand coldly. Guan Yue got his intention and quickly got out of the car, quietly opening the car door for He Siming. He Siming gently carried Wen Shuyue as if she was a porcelain door. Wen Shuyue could feel she was moving, but she didn’t wake up in the familiar embrace. She moved her arms a bit and frowned.

He Siming waited quietly until Wen Shuyue stopped moving before he slowly carried her into the hospital. He put her sown on a bed gently. However, the bed was not as comfortable as his embrace, so Wen Shuyue woke up the moment he put her down.

“Are you awake? Let the doctor examine your wound, “He Siming said softly.

He Siming asked Guan Yue to get the best female doctor to examine Wen Shuyue. He was worried that she had other injuries besides her head.

The doctor reported the results of the examination. Wen Shuyue’s head was injured, her belly was hit, and her hands were swollen. He Siming turned sullen and punched at the wall angrily with sharp eyes. Wen Shuyue looked at him and knew he was upset. She extended her swollen hand and held his big hand, consoling him quietly.

The doctor treated the wound on Wen Shuyue’s head and bandaged her. The other wounds were minor, and Wen Shuyue only needed to take a rest. She would recover slowly. He Siming carried Wen Shuyue back to the car with a sullen face, and Guan Yue drove them home.
