“Lin Wan?” Xiao Yichen called out again and took a few steps toward the balcony.
When he saw no one on the balcony, Xiao Yichen paused again. A thought crossed his mind. Could she have left?
The realization that Lin Wan might have left filled Xiao Yichen with panic.
He couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving.
She was his woman, and she couldn’t leave.
However, when he walked out of the villa and spotted a person lying on the ground nearby, it felt as if a bullet had pierced his heart. A rush of blood flooded over him.
“Wan’er, Wan’er…” Xiao Yichen ran towards Lin Wan crazily.
He knelt beside her and lifted her from the ground, holding her tightly. “Wan’er, wake up. Wan’er…”
Xiao Yichen called her name repeatedly, but Lin Wan remained unconscious. When he touched her forehead, he realized she had a fever.
Had Lin Wan come down with a fever?
Xiao Yichen immediately carried Lin Wan. As he walked into the villa, he looked at her in his arms and said, “Wan’er, don’t let anything happen to you. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Xiao Yichen swiftly carried her to the bedroom on the second floor, laying her on the bed. He hurried to get the first-aid kit and fetched some fever and cold medication. Afterwards, he poured a glass of water and helped her take the medicine.
While looking at the unconscious woman, Xiao Yichen’s heart ached. He knelt beside the bed, holding her hand tightly, and pressed it against his face, gazing at her intently.
Xiao Yichen’s eyes were gradually filled with fog. His heart was in a mess, but he knew very well.
Tears welled up in Xiao Yichen’s eyes, and his voice grew hoarse. “Wan’er, I’m sorry. 1 was wrong. I’m scared that Lu Hao loves you and might take you away.”
“I can’t involve myself in the military industry. So I’m afraid,” he admitted. The business industry he could handle, even the political industry, was within his reach, but the military industry was off-limits.
Finally, Xiao Yichen couldn’t longer suppress his tears, and they flowed down his cheeks.
Wan’er, 1 love you so much. I truly, deeply love you!
Lin Wan awoke the next morning. Her eyes gradually opened, but her vision remained blurry for some time. It took a while for her sight to clear.
“Wan’er, you’re awake,” said Xiao Yichen, sitting by her bedside. He sounded excited and tender.
Upon hearing his voice, Lin Wan turned to look at him but quickly averted her gaze. She glanced to the side and avoided eye contact.
Xiao Yichen noticed her reaction, and his heart ached. He stared at her in silence, wanting to say something but unable to find the words.
They remained in this silent standoff for a long while.
Lin Wan knew Xiao Yichen had been squatting by her bedside, but she didn’t know how long he’d been there. After contemplating the situation, she finally broke the silence. “You… go to sleep,” Lin Wan said.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yichen was relieved. He quickly replied, “Alright.”
Xiao Yichen lay on the bed, gently pulling Lin Wan into his arms.
He was careful not to apply too much pressure, as he was concerned about her emotions and well-being.<segment 8378 H>
As he gazed down at the woman in his arms, he spoke softly, “Wan’er, do you believe me?”
