The Luna Is Gone (Diana and Nathan) by Angelique Quinn novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Diana’s pov

I saw Ryley walking towards me with his hands covering his abdomen, blood gushing out from his fingertips. Every step he took was difficult.

“Diana…”

Ryley lifted his eyelids and glanced at me.

Then he could no longer hold on and his body suddenly fell forward.

“Ryley!” I was shocked and ran towards him in panic, helping him up from the bloody ground..

Ryley opened his eyes, but his voice was intermittent.

“An hour ago,… a group of people suddenly broke in. They killed my subordinates. and all the patients, I…”

Ryley vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Stop talking!” I quickly stopped him and tore off a piece of fabric from the hem of my clothes, wrapping it around Ryley’s abdomen to stop the bleeding.

“Don’t… don’t you want to know what exactly happened?”

Ryley lowered his eyes and looked at me with a complex expression.

Surprised, puzzled, or something else…

I didn’t continue to explore, and just whispered, “I sure do, but your life is more important.”

“1-”

“I said, stop talking,” I shouted.

Ryley silently closed his mouth.

I helped Ryley to the wall and crouched down in front of him with my back to him.

“Come up.”

There was a moment of silence.

I turned my head to look at Ryley and found that he seemed resistant to me carrying

100 away

“If you don’t deal with your wound, you will die,” I warned.

Tobserved Ryley’s wound and it was a wolf claw

The my perdaldy wanted to penetrate his abdomen, but he didn’t succeed

Hyley’s eyebrown loosened and twisted again, evenly struggling

Bot in the end, under my urging, he still placed his arms on my shoulder

By the time I tried my best to take Ryley out of the basement, he had already fallen

into a coma

It wasn’t until an hour later that he woke up again.

A weak cough echoed from the hospital bed

I walked to Ryley’s side and asked him how he was feeling now.

“I” Ryley wanted to speak, but his voice was hoarse.

He frowned in displeasure and instinctively glanced at the nearby water dispenser

I guessed Ryley wanted to drink water, but he was too embarrassed to direct me.

I sighed and got up to get a glass of water.

Ryley lifted the blanket and tried to sit up, but I stopped him.

“Don’t move around.” I looked at him seriously.

Ryley lay back, his eyes fixed on the glass in my hand.

“You can’t drink water yet,” I whispered. “Your wound is in the abdomen. That claw injured your intestines. So it will take at least two hours for you to drink”

Ryley’s gaze shifted away from the glass and landed on my face.

“…It’s okay,” he told me in a hoarse voice.

I was not sure if he meant ‘physically’ or the water, but I didn’t continue to ask.

As Healer, I roughly knew his current situation.

I placed the glass on the bedside table, took a clean cotton swab, and soaked it with

Water.

Ryley stared at me and asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”

“Although you can’t drink water, it’s still possible to moisturize your lips.”

I bent down and gently wiped Ryley’s lips with the cotton swab.

Looking up, I found him staring at me in a daze,

Hrowned.

Immediately, I realized that a strand of my long hair fell on his chest.

I quickly took a big step back.

“Sorry”

too close to him

Looking up, I found him staring at me in a daze.

I frowned.

Immediately, I realized that a strand of my long hair fell on his chest.

I quickly took a big step back

“Sorry.”

1 knew Ryley had a unique personality. He didn’t like others to get too close to him. Ryley pursed his lips, seemingly thinking about something

After a few seconds, he spoke up, “I’m the one who should apologize. I didn’t take good care of those patients.”

I fell silent.

Although Ryley was seriously injured, to some extent, he did neglect his duty.

The consequences were by no means as simple as losing a clue to Gummy Skull. The families of those patients were also difficult to reassure.

I didn’t know how to face them.

“We’ll deal with this after you’re healed. Now let’s talk about those attackers,” I got to the point. “How much do you remember? Or can you infer who they are?”

In fact, during the hour when Ryley was unconscious, I went to the hospital’s security center to check the surveillance of this morning, but was told that all surveillance had failed.

At this moment, the personnel at the safety center were urgently repairing it. Even if it was fixed, the image of this morning couldn’t be returned.

The only person who had seen the attackers now was Ryley.

However, Ryley shook his head.

“I only know that there are a total of eight of them. All of them are men. Each is wearing a mask and a doctor’s uniform.”

“It’s not strange to wear doctor’s clothes. After all, this is the best way to sneak into a hospital.” After pondering for a moment, I asked, “Have you found anything else? Like tattoos or decorations on them?”

“I’m sorry,” Ryley apologized again. “These eight people are much more powerful than me. I can’t even get close to them.”

I took a deep breath and pinched my brow.

“Never mind. I’ll find a way to investigate it.” I changed the topic and asked Ryley another question, “By the way, do you remember the few corpses I asked you to handle in the garage?”
