Even though Lu Jinghan's combat power was zero at the moment, Fu Bin still conceded flamboyantly: "I'll go find a doctor to change your ward right away. Be careful not to get angry and affect the healing of your wound." After saying this, he walked out briskly.
Feng Yi just treated it as hearing a funny joke. The old man usually kept quietly pushing women towards Lu Jinghan, but he never seemed to pay attention to any of them. Every time, however the old man sent them, he would return them exactly the same way.
Han Xi wasn't on duty tonight. After returning to the office, she drove home with Manman.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Han Xi lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately, probably because she was too tired.
Manman sat in front of the dressing table, gently doing her skincare routine while humming a song. After finishing, she walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down as well.
Whenever there was nothing to do, Manman and Chu Ci would always come over to sleep here, fearing Han Xi would feel lonely by herself. Since Han Xi's mother passed away, she had cut off contact with her so-called father.
As for the sister who once betrayed her, she's now completely out of the picture. Without these two good friends' company over the years, she probably wouldn't have made it till now.
In the middle of the night, Han Xi woke up in a cold sweat from the bed. Through the dim moonlight, she glanced at Manman on the bed, then quietly got up and went to the living room.
She didn't turn on the lights, and sat barefoot on the floor in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, tucking some messy strands of hair behind her ears, her clear eyes hollowly looking at the night sky.
Almost every night, she is woken by the same nightmare, where her mother lies covered in blood on the lawn......
This is her psychological demon, a hurdle she can never get past.
In the morning, when Manman woke up, Han Xi was no longer in bed. Rubbing her sleepy, blurry eyes, she climbed out of bed, lifted the quilt, and went to the dining room, only to see Han Xi eating breakfast.
"Why are you up so early?"
Han Xi took a sip of milk from her glass, chatting with Chu Ci on WeChat while replying: "I'm on early shift today. Chu Ci said she'll be back tonight, so we'll have dinner together then."
"Great, we'll definitely have a feast today." Manman pulled out a chair and sat next to the dining table, her face visibly joyful.
After breakfast, Han Xi drove to the hospital.
In the VIP ward, Lu Qing An arrived at the hospital early in the morning. Since Lu Jinghan was hospitalized, he, as the second uncle, had to come to visit him in person.
Even if it was just a superficial gesture of concern, it was still necessary to go through the motions.
"Jing Han, thank goodness you're okay. As soon as I got the call from the old man yesterday, I immediately booked a flight back." Lu Qing An sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking extremely sorrowful.
Lu Jinghan curled his lips into a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes: "For Uncle's sake, I can't afford to have anything happen to me. Otherwise, the whole burden of such a big company would fall on you, Uncle, and I would hate to see that."
Lu Qing An replied indifferently, "Alright, no need to worry about your Uncle. While you're not around, I'll handle all the company's affairs. You just stay in the hospital and recover well; when you're discharged, I'll personally come to pick you up."
Hehe, anyone who didn't know better might think it was deep uncle-nephew affection.
Lu Jinghan's half-closed eyes flashed with cold light, his fingers tapping intermittently on the edge of the bed: "No need to trouble Uncle. During my hospitalization, Feng Yi will handle all company matters for me, and he'll report to me anytime."
