Anna Yang looked at Leo Blaze's action, somewhat flustered, and took a half step back. "What are you doing? We’re talking here, and the nurses' station can hear us."<br><br>As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of nurses giggling came through the speaker at the bedside. "Hehehe, it’s okay, we can’t hear you, little Leo, keep it up~"<br><br>"Sisters, can you not be so gossipy? Focus your extra attention on the critical care ward."<br><br>After shouting this toward the bedside, Leo Blaze pulled Anna Yang to another corner of the room.<br><br>From his pocket, he took out the jade charm and placed it in her palm, then whispered into her ear. Anna Yang's eyes widened more and more as he spoke.<br><br>"How is this possible, this—" Before she could finish, Leo Blaze covered her mouth with his hand.<br><br>Their eyes met, and Leo Blaze looked at Anna Yang with a strong desire.<br><br>"Help me, everything I’ve said is true. Even my parents outside don’t trust me. They all think I’m crazy. You’re the only person I can turn to. In the whole world, I only trust you. I'm not really insane!"<br><br>Anna Yang looked at Leo Blaze for a few seconds and finally bit her lip and nodded. When she left, her eyes were red, and she looked back every three steps, seeming very worried about Leo Blaze's mental state.<br><br>Leo Blaze watched her departing silhouette with complex emotions. It no longer mattered to him what others thought, but Anna Yang was different.<br><br>"Nana, believe me this once, just this once!"<br><br>The waiting time always feels long, and Leo Blaze paced back and forth anxiously in the room.<br><br>During this time, visions appeared in front of his eyes again, but Leo Blaze snapped back to reality quickly. Although doctors would say it's not good, he feared missing out on Anna Yang.<br><br>One day, two days, three days—the time passed day by day, and Leo Blaze's mood grew increasingly uncertain.<br><br>"Little Leo, your little girlfriend is here to see you~" Hearing the nurse's notification, Leo Blaze rolled like a carp out of bed and rushed toward the courtyard entrance.<br><br>In the garden within the courtyard, Leo Blaze found Anna Yang again, and they embraced excitedly.<br><br>Anna Yang suppressed her voice and shouted in his ear, "Leo, really, the jade charm is real!"<br><br>"I'm not sick!! Hahaha!! I'm not sick!!" Leo Blaze held the girl’s slender waist, spinning in circles in the air.<br><br>After their excitement calmed down, they finally settled their emotions.<br><br>"Helping me hasn’t affected your life and studies, right?" Leo Blaze asked, concerned, to Anna Yang, who sat beside the flowerbed.<br><br>Anna Yang didn’t answer directly but changed the topic, holding out four slender fingers to Leo Blaze. "Do you know how much that jade charm is worth? This much!"<br><br>"Four... thousand?"<br><br>"Four hundred thousand! And I think he definitely quoted low. If we asked a few more places, it would surely be higher."<br><br>"Four hundred thousand... four hundred thousand..." Leo Blaze laughed foolishly. This could not only cover his medical expenses over the years but also leave some extra. More importantly, this was just the beginning.<br><br>"Anna Yang, are you ready to become a little rich lady?"<br><br>Leo Blaze’s teasing made Anna Yang's cheeks blush slightly. "Stop joking. This is all too weird. Are you sure it won't harm your health?"<br><br>"No worries, nothing will happen to me. If that’s the case, I’ll need to delay my treatment a bit. This is a treasure; I can't be cured that quickly."<br><br>Hearing this, Anna Yang's expression grew tense, and she said worriedly to Leo Blaze, "Leo, these are two different things. I don’t want the money; your treatment must not stop, and neither should the medication. Promise me, or I won’t help you again."<br><br>Leo Blaze thought of many reasons to refute her, but seeing her concerned, worried eyes, warmth surged in his heart. "Okay, I promise you."<br><br>Anna Yang smiled and gently patted his head. "That’s better, you silly boy."<br><br>Just as the two were discussing how to turn the jade charm into cash, several burly middle-aged men with riot forks rushed past them.<br><br>"What’s wrong with Mr. Zhao the Craftsman? What happened?" Leo Blaze asked one of the acquaintances curiously.<br><br>"Don't ask so much, Little Leo, hurry back to the ward. Also, if you encounter Grandpa Liu, report immediately. This guy must have secretly spat out his medicine again," the person said hurriedly and turned to rush to the stairs.<br><br>"Isn't the critical area surrounded by two layers of iron bars? How could Grandpa Liu with his frail build escape?" Leo Blaze wondered as he looked in that direction.<br><br>When he could not distinguish between vision and reality, he stayed there for a while, and it was not a pleasant memory.<br><br>Seeing other patients being taken back to their wards by nurses, Leo Blaze turned to Anna Yang and said, "It’s a bit chaotic here. You should go back first. Call the hospital tonight; we’ll stay in touch by phone."<br><br>"Okay, take care here, and don’t forget what you just promised me." Anna Yang said, turning toward the hospital entrance in the distance.<br><br>"Four hundred thousand..." Leo Blaze muttered in awe as he headed toward the ward. Knowing the jade charm was indeed worth that much, his mind was filled with new thoughts.<br><br>Vision or reality, whatever it is, as long as things from that side are worth so much, who cares if it’s vision or reality?<br><br>He had only walked a few steps when a familiar scream echoed from behind. Turning around, Leo Blaze saw a bald, skinny old man pouncing on Anna Yang, knocking her to the ground.<br><br>Seeing this scene, Leo Blaze's blood boiled, and with gritted teeth and a grim expression, he charged toward them. "Grandpa Liu! That’s my girlfriend, let her go!!"<br><br>The sound of rushing wind suddenly filled the air, and a lifted hexagonal tile flew, striking Leo Blaze's head.<br><br>A dizzying sensation overwhelmed him, and he fell heavily to the ground, his vision gradually covered in red; his head was busted open.<br><br>Amidst the red-tinged vision, Leo Blaze saw a pair of plump feet restrained by a patient's robe walking past him, heading toward the struggling, screaming Anna Yang.<br><br>Listening to the heavy footsteps approaching Anna Yang, a loud buzz filled Leo Blaze's mind. Only one thought remained: they couldn’t be allowed to hurt Anna Yang!!<br><br>He trembled as he pulled out a pill given by the Bald Master from his pocket, mixing it with his own blood, and forced it into his mouth.<br><br>Instantly, a scorching warmth erupted from his stomach into his limbs. Suddenly, he felt flooded with strength, and his dazed mind became exceptionally clear.<br><br>"Bang!!" He swung a fist, smashing it hard into the fat man's jaw, sending yellow teeth flying. Soon, hardly any teeth remained.<br><br>Covered in blood, Leo Blaze ignored the fallen fat man and strode over to Grandpa Liu, kicking him in the chest.<br><br>"Crack crack." The sound of bones breaking echoed continuously. Grandpa Liu, spitting blood, flew away limply like a noodle.<br><br>Seeing Anna Yang on the ground, teary-eyed and clutching her torn sweater, Leo Blaze clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums bled.<br><br>He glared fiercely at the two fallen individuals nearby, stomping heavily on the cement floor with one foot, and pounced toward them like a leopard.<br><br>"Leo! Stop!! What are you doing!")
