A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 357 An Encounter in the Hospital

As she closed her eyes quietly... she could feel that the blood was flowing of her body slowly.

As every minute and second passed by, she slowly fell into the darkness. Her body became more lighter and weaker, even breathing was difficult for her.

The feeling of suffocation was getting stronger, Pippa had fallen into a coma. In the dimness, she almost heard that the death was calling for her. She did not know how long she could brace, she did not know. But she knew that, she would never feel tortured anymore.

When Vincent carried Leila and walked out from the hospital, he met with Miyamoto who was barefooted and covered in blood while carrying Pippa. At that moment, he felt that all his blood was cold.

Leila saw it too, everywhere was covered with blood. Even Miyamotowas covered in blood. The woman in his arms was wrapped in a white bath towel. His subordinate was shouting out loud, "Get out from the way... Doctor... help..."

"What happened?" Vincent was startled as he growled gently, even Leila was shocked.

The shocking blood scene made Leila feel horrified while Vincent's body was tightened.

Oh my god! How did Miyamoto and Pippa was covered in blood?

"Put me down!" Leila then realized that she was still in Vincent's arms. She struggled to get down, she was not feeling so well. She did not have much strength after the fever.

Vincent did not completely let go of her but supporting her crumbling body. Miyamoto was carrying Pippa barefooted while passing by them. There was a strong smell of blood rushing all over her face, Leila saw Pippa's pale face, and she already fell into a coma. And Miyamoto was carrying Pippa barefooted!

Although Leila did not know what happened but she knew that Miyamoto did really love Pippa.

When a man rushed barefooted in the most urgent time, it was just to save the life of his beloved woman!

"Emergency room! Where is the emergency room?" Miyamoto's sounded worriedly and anxiously, his shouting was in hoarse voice. The subordinates behind him were also panting, and one of them was still carrying his shoes.

Vincent pulled Leila's hand and rushed towards the emergency room. Leila knew that this moment was about life and death so she did not say anything. What happened to them? Why was there blood everywhere?

The nurse pushed the emergency ambulance at the outside of the emergency room, "Put it up, blood is ready. Dear family members, please stop coming in!" The door of the emergency room was slammed.

Miyamoto slumped onto the ground. Although he was covered with blood, although he was in a difficult situation while barefooted, his charm remained.

"Miyamoto, what happened to her?" Vincent asked angrily while he was trembling. "Didn't I tell you before that she used to commit suicide? Damn you, what about Owen?" Again?

Leila was startled. Why would someone like Pippa want to commit suicide? What kind of courage was needed to make such an elegant woman cry so miserably, so that she could face the death with courage? She even had a five-year-old son? How could she be so irresponsible?

Miyamoto lowered his head in a frustration without saying anything. The subordinate walked over. He helped him to sit on the chair and tried to put the shoes for him but he pushed it away!

Leila saw that his hand was trembling, it was an emotion that would only be felt to a certain extent. He was tired and his face turned pale and bloodless. There was a deep guilt piling on his eyebrows. Compared to that day, with such a tall and slender figure in a glimpse and it was completely different from the king's vibe that he had that day. Now, he seemed to be tired and haggard. There was a faint trace of blood in his eyes. His face was pale, he looked very tired and exhausted.

"How did you force Pippa into this kind of situation?" Vincent also felt the fear and guilt in Miyamoto but he did not let him go.

While he was faced with questionings in an instant, Miyamoto only felt an extremely heavy overwhelming pressure. He closed his eyes and opened it again but he did not say anything.

In the quiet corridor, as if all the power had been taken away, Vincent's face seemed to be covered with haze. If something happened to Pippa, what would happen to Owen?

There was an unexplainable feeling of pain in Miyamoto's eyes. Leila tried to stop Vincent from asking him too much questions. She walked towards Miyamoto's subordinate and picked up the black shoes. She did not say anything and walked in front of Miyamoto. She squatted down quietly and put the shoes on the floor. She said gently, "She will be fine, please your shoes!"

After he heard what Leila said, he trembled a little and remained speechless and not moving at all. Yes, his Pippa would be fine.

At this moment, one of his muscular subordinates squatted down. "Mr. Miyamoto please wear your shoes! Miss. Russell is a lucky person, please take care."

Vincent sat asides on the chair and waited quietly. When Leila saw that Miyamoto was putting on his shoes, she walked back to Vincent's side and sat down. She just had a fever, she had no strength at all. Currently, everyone was waiting at the entrance of the emergency room for the result of the rescue.

After half an hour, the door of the emergency room was opened. The doctor took off the mask and felt slightly exhausted. There were two plastic bags that hung on the iron frame of Pippa's bed. One of them was for intravenous drop and another was a bag of blood.

In an instant, Miyamoto rushed over. "Pippa, Pippa?"

"She's fine, luckily she was sent over here on time. 400cc of blood has been transfused but another 1000cc are still needed. She is out of the danger now. Do not interrupt the patient, she needs more rest!" Pippa was upgraded into the VIP ward.

In the quiet atmosphere, the VIP ward seemed almost like the bedroom in the luxury hotel. It was comfortable and painted in white. Through the glass door, there were some faint afterglow shined on the curtains in the night. There was a faint light in the ward. Pippa had a drip while blood transfusing on her hand. Her pale face looked even thinner as if she could die at any time.

"Pippa..." Miyamoto whispered to Pippa. She did not show any emotion on her face. Finally, he sat beside Pippa's bed.

Pippa closed her eyes tightly as if she was falling asleep.

Both Vincent and Leila were in the ward as they looked at the current situation of Pippa and Miyamoto, they did not know what to say.

As Vincent looked at Leila's pale face, he put his arms around her waist and said to Miyamoto, "I think you do care for Pippa. If you do care for her, make sure that she does not get hurt. If she does, how should you explain to your son? We will come back to visit Pippa again, you, please take care!"

It was a short conversation, Vincent left along with Leila.

"You, don't you want to wait for her to wake up?" Leila asked gently as they walked in the corridor.

Vincent lowered his head and looked at her tired face and shook his head. "Let's go back to sleep, are you tired?"

Leila was startled and a little surprised. Wasn't Pippa more important? Based on her current situation yet he wanted to go back home!

It seemed that he saw through Leila's thoughts and said gently, "You're not in a good condition, you just had fever and used a lot of energy because you stood for so long. She is fine, we can go back. They should deal with their matters by themselves!"

Such a straightforward behavior had always been Vincent's style for dealing with any matter. Arthur was right, no need to be too vague! Vincent immediately reflected on his behavior and felt that it was not perfect. But he was determined to pursue for perfection.

Leila was puzzled by Vincent as she looked at him. It was at the right moment when he looked back at him and both looked at each other. There were many unexplainable emotions which were gathered in their converging eyes.

"You are tired, right!" Vincent smiled a little and bent over to carry her. "Honey, we are home!"

Leila was terrified when she was carried by him. She was feeling a little unsympathetic as if she was purposely making things clear between them. "Let go of me, I can walk by myself!"

When she saw her being careful and nervous, Vincent could not help but put a smile on his face. The body in his arms was too light and needed to be supplemented. He ignored her. He carried her and went straight to his car in the parking lot.

As the car was out for quite some time, Leila suddenly noticed that they were walking on the most prosperous street. There were neon lightings on both sides, the atmosphere was very lively.

What was she thinking about just now? She looked at this familiar place and felt speechless about herself being absent-minded.

"Bring me to the Pearl Community!" She said.

"Let's go back to the villa. I will ask Eira to cook chicken soup for you, you have not eaten yet!" Vincent sounded gentle and full of love.

"I don't want!" She rejected him without any hesitation. Leila did not forget her very beginning intention. Although he suddenly became more considerate towards her, she gently touched her neck with her hand and there was an extra necklace. She took it out without hesitation, "I will give this back to you!"

"Lexi!" Vincent calmed down for a while and said, "This is your graduation gift, it is to congratulate you for finishing your studies."

Leila frowned. She brought the sapphire necklace and took a look. She smiled a little and mocked herself, "I am not worthy of your necklace, so you can keep it as a gift for others!"

"Lexi!" Vincent was a little astonished when she mentioned that she was not worthy of his necklace. He was startled and felt hurt at the same time. He did not like her to belittle at herself like this. "Vincent, please send me back to the Pearl Community.” Leila said slowly.

Her brain was hurt, she had no energy to face this kind of situation. Also, she did not want to experience his sudden warmth and care because she was afraid of this kind of smoke bomb. Who knew that another atomic bomb might follow behind, she was afraid that she will be blown out of dust.

As Vincent was driving the car, he tried to look at Leila. His eyes were a little puzzled. He felt terribly regret as he looked at Leila's pale face. There was no radiance in her eyes as she was exhausted and in pain. She even had dark circles under her eyes which made her look even tired.

"Lexi, you do know that I have always have pride about myself, therefore I can't fulfill your request." He sounded gentle although he said a little domineeringly. He stretched out his big palm to hold her little hands. "I will not throw you for being sick at the Pearl Community, if you don't want to see me, at least wait until you are recovered!"

Leila looked at the big palm, it was holding her little hand. He was worried for her! His big palm felt warm as her little hand was fully wrapped.

A moment of silence, Leila raised her head to look at Vincent's face. He looked at her and continued driving as his side face looked extremely steady.

Leila did not say anything as she was holding the sapphire necklace tightly in her hand. His big palm was still holding her little hand. She just turned around a little, the necklace fell into his hand. She wanted to immediately withdraw her hand but her little hand was clasped by him. "I will never take back the gift that I give out. Just throw if you don't want it!"
