Xin'er?
Hearing Du Ruoxin's call, Kristino immediately stood up. "What is it? You are—"
The signal in his mind showed she was over two hundred kilometers away… somewhere???
Why did she run so far?
Kristino dashed to the door with lightning speed and ordered his subordinates to prepare a helicopter.
"Wuwuwu—"
Du Ruoxin cried out in pain.
Her hand was going to be ruined!
She had only intended to sink the car into the riverbed, but she hadn't expected to get so badly injured!
What had bitten her?
Was it poisonous? Was the venom fatal? If she lost her life here, it would be a huge mess!
Pfft—
Du Ruoxin truly understood the meaning of "self-inflicted suffering is unbearable."
So stupid!
She cried because of her own foolishness.
"Xin'er, what exactly happened?" Kristino asked urgently.
Her brainwaves were a bit chaotic, with sounds of pain and self-reproach…
Du Ruoxin sensed her elder brother trying to decipher her brainwave code. Fearing he might read her thoughts, she said, "I'm dying!" and then cut off the connection.
Kristino: "…………"
"Xin'er!"
However, no matter how much he called out, the signal source was broken, and he could no longer sense Du Ruoxin's location.
Fortunately, he had already locked onto her position.
The more Du Ruoxin thought about it, the sadder she became. Her hands, her fair and smooth skin, were now a terrible sight!
If she was left with pitted scars…
Sob sob sob!
She might as well go and smash her head against a block of tofu!
A few minutes later, as Kristino jumped off the helicopter, he saw Du Ruoxin, soaked all over, her eyes streaming with tears, her face pitifully wrapped around her eyes. His heart clenched fiercely.
He quickly took off his clothes and draped them over her.
"Ah—"
He had accidentally touched her hand.
Du Ruoxin cried out in pain.
Kristino froze instantly, not daring to move. "What's wrong?"
Du Ruoxin presented her horrible arm to him. "I don't know what injured it, but there's a huge swelling."
"My whole hand is numb, I can't feel anything."
Poisoned…?
Kristino's first thought was that Du Ruoxin had been bitten by a snake, but he looked around and found no bite marks.
He couldn't suck out the venom either.
"You—" He was about to ask her how she got here, but his gaze froze when he saw a large pool of blood at her feet.
Blood was flowing from under her feet, following the mountain path like a small stream into the grass.
Kristino's eyes widened abruptly, and he picked her up.
"Ah—"
Du Ruoxin was startled by her elder brother suddenly hugging her and instinctively grabbed his shoulders.
"You're bleeding?"
What?
Where is it bleeding from?
She didn't feel anything.
Kristino knelt on the ground, one hand around Du Ruoxin's waist, the other checking her foot.
At this moment, the blood had already clotted into scabs.
But it was clear that a large piece of skin had been scraped off the sole of her foot by something sharp.
"Hiss—"
Du Ruoxin also saw her wound.
Only then, her senses finally catching up, did she feel the piercing, bone-chilling pain.
She had been too focused on her hand earlier and hadn't paid attention to her foot.
Now that the pain was doubled, she could no longer control herself, and tears flowed like a river.
"Hold on tight!" Kristino said with concern.
Her injuries were somewhat serious and needed immediate attention.
He gave a signal to the sky, and the helicopter turned around, dropping a hoist ladder.
Kristino, holding Du Ruoxin, leaped into the air and grabbed the hoist ladder.
"Ah—"
Du Ruoxin no longer cared if her hand was injured or not, and clung to her elder brother like an octopus.
If she let go now and didn't hold on tight, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The two entered the cabin.
Kristino quickly took out the regularly stocked first-aid kit to clean, disinfect, and treat her wounds.
"No!" Before the disinfectant in his hand could touch her, Du Ruoxin flinched back and shook her head, refusing. "It hurts!"
Just looking at the iodine solution made her teeth chatter with pain.
Du Ruoxin instinctively resisted.
Kristino furrowed his brow and coaxed her gently, "Be good, your wound needs to be disinfected, otherwise it will get infected."
Du Ruoxin stared at the disinfectant with lingering fear, like a spoiled child, and roared, "No!"
"If it gets infected, so be it!"
It hurt too much!
She couldn't bear it!
