Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Since you’re here, that’s just perfect…
Knowing she had injured her calf, the moment Li Yuan embraced her, he swept her up in a horizontal carry to spare her the pain of her newly stitched wound.
After the initial shock had drained the color from Huo Yishan’s face, she finally relaxed when she looked up and saw his face.
However, being startled like that in the dead of night definitely irritated her, and she abruptly pounded her hand against his chest, “What are you doing!? You could scare someone to death, you know!?”
Seeing her genuinely pale face, Li Yuan was not angered but instead turned around, about to put her back on the hospital bed.
Just as he was about to set her down, Huo Yishan clutched tightly onto his clothes, seemingly unwilling to be let go?
Li Yuan frowned, staring at her, “What are you doing?”
Huo Yishan glanced at him with annoyance, without any hint of politeness, “Since you’re already here, just do me a favor… carry me to the bathroom, I need to use the toilet!”
Li Yuan suddenly realized, so she had gotten out of bed to use the toilet?
“Why are you here alone? Where’s Anna?” he asked as he carried her toward the bathroom.
“Anna had some things to take care of, and since I couldn’t sleep well here, I told her to go back.”
Li Yuan’s brows lightly knitted together, “Is there no one else?”
Huo Yishan shook her head, her clear eyes peering at him, “Of course, the fewer people who know about my injury, the better.”
“How can you be without someone to look after you at night?”
As they entered the bathroom, he placed her in front of the toilet.
“No need, I can manage on my own!”
Huo Yishan didn’t reply this time, but instead, because she was too eager to relieve herself, she hurriedly urged him to leave, “Hurry up and go out, I need to use the toilet!”
After a glance at her, Li Yuan didn’t linger and turned to leave the bathroom.
The man who stepped out of the bathroom didn’t go far, but instead stood waiting near the door, gazing at it in deep thought.
A few minutes later, the bathroom door swung open again, and Huo Yishan, leaning on the door frame, was about to step out.
Seeing her, Li Yuan promptly scooped her up again and laid her back on the hospital bed.
Huo Yishan eyed him, puzzled about why he was still at the hospital so late at night.
“Are you working overtime?”
Caught off guard by her sudden question, Li Yuan hesitated before nodding, “Yeah.”
“As the hospital director, you have to work overtime that late?”
Following that ‘oh,’ the ward sank back into silence.
Then, he saw Li Yuan casually take a seat on the sofa.
Huo Yishan’s brows rose inquisitively. It was already so late, wasn’t he planning to leave?
“Aren’t you leaving?”
Watching the man who had comfortably settled on the sofa, Huo Yishan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Li Yuan gazed back at her, silent.
Again, a profound silence…
The incident had dispelled Huo Yishan’s sleepiness, and the two of them sat there in the ward, you silent and I mute.
But Huo Yishan couldn’t stand the strange atmosphere, “Hey, I’m talking to you!”
“Not leaving,” Li Yuan finally spoke.
“Why? Are you going to sleep?” she asked curiously, looking at him.
“…” What does that mean?
She stared, bewildered, “You, why watch over me? I’m not… not anyone to you.”
Hearing this, his pupils flickered, and his narrow eyes kept gazing at her.
If possible, he would have liked to say: How about becoming my girlfriend? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
But ultimately, he swallowed those words back down.
Because he remembered she had said she really disliked him.
The room fell into silence once more, the conversation ceased again.
