1970: Forced to Marry in Her Place, She Takes the Space and Marries the Short-Lived Military Husband

(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....

How can you say it wasn't sincere in Chapter 53?

How can you say it wasn't sincere in Chapter 53?

Xia Yuhuan was sent to the military hospital, where Jiang Zhicheng personally conducted her examination and treatment.

After treating her, Jiang Zhicheng said, "She has quite a few injuries, some of them serious, and she needs to rest and recover properly."

"She must have suffered a very serious impact. There are minor fractures in her sternum and ribs. There's nothing we can do but let her heal slowly."

"I also have multiple bruises and wounds, but fortunately they are not serious and will not kill me."

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the person is still alive.

Although I feel sorry for Xia Yuhuan who has suffered so much, it's better to be alive than to die.

"Okay, thank you, Lao Jiang. It's kind of you to wait up for me so late tonight," Chi Shaokang said in a hoarse voice.

Because Xia Yuhuan was missing, he was worried and afraid that something might have happened to her, so he asked Jiang Zhicheng to stay at the hospital today.

Once Xia Yuhuan is found, he can rest assured with Jiang Zhicheng, a capable man, watching over her.

"I don't like hearing such formalities," Jiang Zhicheng said irritably. "We've been good friends for so many years. If you need help, how could I not help you?"

"Besides, this young girl had an accident on her way to find me, and I feel really bad about it. I'm happy to be able to help."

Chi Shaokang hummed in agreement and said, "Then I won't bother with the formalities. It's getting late, you should go home and rest. I'll call my wife and tell her, she must be worried sick right now."

"Okay, go ahead," Jiang Zhicheng replied.

He only learned after Xia Yuhuan's accident that the amazing doctor in the operating room was Chi Shaokang's daughter-in-law.

"By the way, she's alright. Her injuries mainly require rest. She'll be observed at the hospital overnight, and we'll have her checked again tomorrow. If everything's fine, you can take her home to recuperate," Jiang Zhicheng added.

"good."

Chi Shaokang called Zhang Xianya and told her that Xia Yuhuan had been found and was currently at the military hospital.

"How is Xiao Huan doing now? Is it serious? I'm coming over to check on her right now," Zhang Xianya said anxiously upon hearing this.

Chi Shaokang quickly said, "No need, Lao Jiang just examined her, and the injury isn't too serious, so don't worry too much."

"I won't go home today. I'll stay here and watch over Xiao Huan. Don't worry about Xiao Huan. Go to sleep now, and come see Xiao Huan again when you wake up tomorrow."

"Xiao Huan suffered a serious injury and needs a lot of rest to recover. If you also collapse, who will take care of her?"

Zhang Xianya was persuaded by Chi Shaokang to stop, and she was finally relieved to learn that Xia Yuhuan was alright.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Keep an eye on Xiao Huan, make sure nothing else happens to her. I'll come back to see you tomorrow morning and bring you some food."

"By the way, does Xiao Huan have any dietary restrictions? Did Lao Jiang mention them?"

"No specific instructions were given. She was just injured, so we should just keep her diet light."

The couple exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.

Zhang Xianya experienced the devastating blow of her son falling into a coma and becoming a vegetable, and now she has an extremely strong mentality.

Although she was very worried about Xia Yuhuan, she still managed to go to sleep and didn't force herself to stay up.

However, no matter how calm she was, she couldn't help but worry, so she got up early the next day, cooked porridge and eggs for Xia Yuhuan, steamed some buns, and rushed to the military hospital.

Before leaving, she instructed Aunt Zhao to buy a chicken so that she could make chicken soup for Xia Yuhuan.

Military hospital, ward.

After a night's sleep, Xia Yuhuan woke up early the next day.

The smell of disinfectant made her realize that she was in a hospital.

Xia Yuhuan felt excruciating pain, as if her body had been dismantled. She was in very poor condition.

She shifted slightly, trying to get up.

As her gaze shifted, she saw Chi Shaokang sitting to the side, asleep with his head propped up by his hand.

Xia Yuhuan was stunned: Did Chi Shaokang just sit there and watch over her all night?

While Xia Yuhuan was in a daze, Chi Shaokang seemed to sense her gaze and slowly opened his eyes to look at her.

Seeing that she was awake, Chi Shaokang quickly got up: "Xiao Huan, you're awake! How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"

Xia Yuhuan snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "No need, Dad, I'm fine. I'm just injured and have some difficulty moving around."

Chi Shaokang hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Xia Yuhuan sit up.

The way he treated the fragile items really made Xia Yuhuan feel flattered.

"Dad, you've been watching over me here all night?" Xia Yuhuan asked, her gaze somewhat complicated.

Chi Shaokang nodded: "Yes, I was worried you might wake up in the middle of the night and need someone to take care of you, so I'm staying here. Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

Xia Yuhuan looked at his natural demeanor, her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.

If she previously felt that Chi Shaokang was kind to her because her medical skills could save Chi Yanzhou, then there was definitely an ulterior motive involved.

No matter how ulterior motives he may have, how can you say he wasn't sincere when he personally stayed by her side all night?

"Here, have some water."

Seeing that Xia Yuhuan was staring at him blankly without moving, Chi Shaokang took the initiative to pour her some water.

He carefully poured some water onto his fingertip, tested the temperature to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then brought it to Xia Yuhuan's lips.

His meticulous attention moved Xia Yuhuan deeply.

She obediently lowered her head, opened her mouth, and drank the water.

My nose stung, and tears welled up and rolled down my cheeks, dripping into my water glass.

When Chi Shaokang saw this, he was both surprised and flustered.

"Why are you crying even when you're just drinking water? Is your injury hurting too much? I'll go find a doctor to take a look at you right now."

As Chi Shaokang spoke, he turned and was about to run outside.

"Dad, no, my wound is fine," Xia Yuhuan called out, her voice choked with emotion.

"Why are you crying if nothing's wrong?" Chi Shaokang looked like he didn't believe it.

"I'm just so touched." Xia Yuhuan sniffed, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Although I have a biological father, he deliberately lost me back then. When he found me, it was only to make me marry in place of his precious daughter. He only has disgust for me and no sincerity at all."

"You've been so good to me, even better than my own father. I... I couldn't hold back my tears."

Xia Yuhuan tried her best to control her emotions, but she still couldn't help but twitch her shoulders.

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

If Xia Yuhuan was crying because of the pain from her injuries, he could at least find a doctor to take a look at her. But if she was crying because she was too moved, what could he do?

“Now that you’ve married into the Chi family and become my daughter-in-law, you’re like my child. It’s only right that I treat you well. What’s there to cry about?” Chi Shaokang said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Seeing Xia Yuhuan sobbing and unable to stop her tears.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Then... then you can cry for a little while? Crying for too long is bad for your eyes, they'll hurt."

Just then, the ward door opened, and Zhang Xianya appeared in the doorway carrying a basket.

Seeing Xia Yuhuan crying, her expression immediately changed.
