This time, it was truly just their home for the two of them.
Bai Xiao did not hide her feelings this time, walked straight to An Zhiyuan, took his hand tightly, and smiled, "You’re always afraid of this and that, now that we’re discharged from the hospital, we surely don’t need to be scared anymore, right?"
She wanted to see him unharmed, not in pain and unable to sleep at night. During those days, to avoid making it too obvious, An Zhiyuan endured the pain by gritting his teeth.
Bai Xiao refrained from offering too much help, fearing that the hospital would find out her involvement in his recovery. She preferred to suffer in silence.
She had felt heartbroken for many days.
An Zhiyuan could not use much strength, as the fracture in his limbs might lead to possible sequelae. He felt useless now, and these days, it seemed that his wife had to take care of him all the time.
With a bitter smile, he said, "You! Be a bit more cautious. If someone discovers the malfunction and makes it a joke, and they really take you for research, how can I save you? With my current state, I’m afraid I can’t protect you." This little girl does not yet know all the hardships he’s been through for her.
Bai Xiao pouted, kissed An Zhiyuan’s forehead, and put her hands on his shoulders, "I know, you are doing all this for me! But no one can discover it now, so Captain An, you should start moving your limbs."
The strength in her hands suddenly burst forth, directly invading An Zhiyuan’s body, flowing through him.
An Zhiyuan suddenly realized that life might not just be about this lifetime; there could be much more.
People often say death is a "transition," and it’s truly fitting because the soul transitions to another level of existence. Knowing this comforted him immensely.
His Bai Xiao was no ordinary person; his duty was to protect her well.
His Angel possessed incredible powers that nobody could imagine. Right now, he could see the broken bones in his body reassembling, the broken parts being replaced and fused by an extended substance, every defect in his body healing one by one. Although all doctors believed there was no chance for his recovery, it only took half an hour.
He could clearly understand! He was different now.
During these days, Bai Xiao’s demeanor was always gentle and mild, and her care was clearly felt in her actions.
She knew the risks she would face, yet she still held nothing back from him. This was a secret between the two of them.
A secret for a lifetime.
He had already regained a strong intuition about reality, and he did not want to lose this connection with Bai Xiao.
It was great to return to their real home, to see the days and nights shift, to have undisturbed privacy, and they could do anything together without fear of being discovered.
Like now, he was able to stand up with Bai Xiao’s support, his body slightly trembling not because he hadn’t recovered, but because he hadn’t stood for three months, and his leg muscles had atrophied—although Bai Xiao massaged him daily.
Especially seeing the radiant joy in her smile brightening her face, An Zhiyuan hugged his wife.
He took a few deep breaths, shaking off the unsettling emotions.
He was a person who only believed in facts, harsh realities, and literal truths.
All his training taught him was that reality is the most reliable.
He could trust reality, certain of its ruthless nature.
He didn’t find anything wrong with that, because he was also a ruthless person.
But now, everything is different with her
