Chapter 359: The Worst Scenario
“The worst scenario is death. Brother Lu would want to die in Jiang Yao’s arms. If it does not happen, and his life can be saved, his wife has every right to be here. Jiang Yao is very composed and mature; she will not do anything to hamper the rescue efforts!” Zhou Weiqi exclaimed angrily and picked up his phone. “If nobody wants to call her, I will! You do not know how it was when they said their goodbyes a few days ago, it was their promise!”
Zhou Weiqi casually mentioned the worst scenario that could happen to Lu Xingzhi, yet it was as if his heart was tied onto a heavy rock and dropped down the deepest of abyss.
While he was dialing Jiang Yao’s cell phone number, Liang Yueze said softly, “From what I heard, Xingzhi had two gunshot wounds on his chest, near where the heart is located. The bleeding has not stopped since, we are not sure if he can even make it back here alive.”
Zhou Weiqi’s hand trembled. That did not stop what he was doing, he dialed Jiang Yao’s number and waited for her to pick up the call.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up, every passing second a torment for the waiting Zhou Weiqi.
“Jiang Yao, Brother Lu is seriously injured and is on his way back to the hospital as we speak. Come here immediately, the keys to the car are on the coffee table and the car is parked at parking space one. We are here waiting for you, do not rush, drive slowly and be careful.”
As far as he knew, everyone around him had their driving license once they were eligible to drive. He did not even ask if Jiang Yao knew how to drive and assumed that she did.

When the call came through, Jiang Yao almost blacked out. She felt as if the world around her had collapsed.
Her worst fears had come true.
The accelerator was slammed all the way down, accelerating the car to a speed that was almost breaking the speedometer.
All she wanted was to arrive at the hospital as quickly as she could.
Her mind was in a frenzy, Lu Xingzhi was all she could think of.
After ending the call, Zhou Weiqi and the rest went to the rooftop of the hospital. The doctors on shift were already on standby as the helicopters would land there.
A short while later, they heard the sounds of helicopter rotors. It got louder as they watched anxiously, waiting for it to land.
Two doctors, one blonde-haired and fair-skinned, the other black-haired and dark-skinned, were the first to disembark from the stationary aircraft. Their white coats stained with the bright red of blood.
They lifted a stretcher off the helicopter. There laid Lu Xingzhi, bloodied face and body.
“Sir, we are at Jindo City! Do not fall asleep!” The blonde doctor called out anxiously.
“What is the condition of the patient?” asked the assistant director of the military hospital.
“The patient has two gunshot wounds near his heart, we are not sure if any vital organs are injured for now. On our way here, he went into shock twice. We need to save him now!” The blonde doctor spoke quickly, not paying attention as to whether his foreign friends would understand his language. “The other patient has several broken bones in his left leg. Prepare for an amputation procedure, we might have to do it.”

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before.
