Chapter 469
The women in the dormitory were shocked.
It was 10:00 pm.
When Lily had returned with her face covered in blood, it gave them a fright. They had all gotten out of bed and were still in their pajamas, some of which were rather revealing.
The abrupt entrance of two men left them speechless and dazed.
Once they recovered their senses, some screamed and jumped back into bed to hide under the blankets.
The remaining women rushed back to their own beds.
"Lily..." Sean called in a trembling voice. His eyes were red as he looked at Lily, who was in Gillian's arms.
He saw the bloodstained towel that Gillian was holding, and he felt as if something had pierced his heart.
"Lily..."
Sean strode over to her.
Gillian frowned and asked, "Are you... Sean?"
Sean nodded.
"Give Lily to-"
"You scumbag!"
Gillian slapped him with a bloodstained hand.
She suddenly felt as if Lily had gone limp, and when she looked down, she saw that Lily's eyes were closed, and her face was pale and bloodless.
"Lily! Lily! Wake up!"
Gillian pushed her gently.
Gareth said loudly, "Sean, what are you standing there for? Take her to the hospital!"
Sean returned to his senses, turned, and crouched, saying, "I'll carry her to the hospital."
Gillian hadn't wanted to give Lily to him, but since the circumstances were special, she helped Lily get on Sean's back.
Sean ran out with Lily.
In the corridor, the housekeeper ran up with several security guards.
The housekeeper pointed at Gareth and Sean, panting as she said, "Th-that's them... They barged into the women's dormitory..."
Several young security guards rolled up their sleeves and walked up to them.
At that moment, Gillian walked out of her dormitory room.
"Move aside, all of you!"
The young security guards immediately stepped aside when they caught sight of Gillian.
Gillian's grandfather was an executive at National Electronics Technology Institute and an honorary professor at Riverland University of Science and Technology. Even Peter would have to be polite to her if he were there.
The university's security department also had clear instructions about Gillian's safety.
She had bodyguards with her whenever she left the campus grounds.
They were just security guards who only got paid 700 or 800 a month. They would never dare to offend someone like Gillian.
Sean ran with all his might, with Lily on his back.
Lily's head drooped on his shoulder. Her blood drenched his neck.
Gareth followed beside him and frowned as he said, "Her head is still bleeding. We need to hold something to it."
Sean finally realized what the sticky substance on his neck was. His mind went blank.
He stopped and said helplessly, "Gareth... W-what should I do?"
Gillian caught up to them, holding a clean towel. She had put on a coat and pressed the towel against Lily's head wound.
She said expressionlessly, "Keep going."
Sean continued running toward the stairs.
"It'll be faster if we leave through the emergency escape," Gillian advised.
Sean went toward the doors leading to the emergency stairs, and Gareth pushed the doors open at once.
Half an hour later, Lily was pushed into the emergency room at the hospital.
Sean sat dazedly on a bench outside. He looked as if he had lost his soul.
When he heard his phone ring, he picked it up.
"Sean, I heard that something happened to your girlfriend. Where are you? We'll come see
you!"
Brady Hilton, one of his roommates, was calling.
Sean said hoarsely, "We're at the affiliated hospital!"
There was a busy signal on the other end of the phone.
At that moment, the doors to the emergency room opened.
The doctor was holding an Informed Consent Form that implied the severity of the situation.
"Which of you is the patient's family?"
Sean ran over quickly.
"I am..."
The doctor frowned and asked, "What's your relationship with her?"
"I'm her boyfriend."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Does she have any direct family here?"
"No!"
"You'd better sign this first, then."
The doctor handed Sean the form.
