Chapter 96 The couple meets

Su Ying stared at his fingers for a long time, but the fingers didn't move again. Looking at Gu Jinghong's expression, it was obvious that he had tried very hard, but the fingers couldn't move at all.

Su Ying held his hand and comforted him softly.

"Commander, there's no need to rush. I just had surgery, and my nerves need time to recover. I also need rehabilitation, so I'll be fine."

Gu Jinghong's eyes were fixed on Su Ying, with strong emotions brewing in his dark pupils.

"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Su Ying raised her arms and waved them in front of him.

"Look, I have nothing left. I slept for a few days mainly because I wanted to be lazy and rest for two more days."

Gu Jinghong looked at Su Ying quietly.

"Du Feng just came to see you. The nurse said you hadn't woken up all day. You just woke up."

After being exposed by him, Su Ying smiled helplessly.

"Commander, you're too direct. Sometimes you have to play dumb, you know?"

Gu Jinghong nodded seriously.

"Tsu, next time I'll pretend to be confused."

Su Ying was stunned. Was the bad-tempered Chief Gu so obedient? She was a little uncomfortable with this.

Gu Jinghong looked at the small table beside the bed and said to Su Ying.

"Drink some water, your lips are dry."

Su Ying reached out and touched her lips. They had been cracked and scabbed over the past few days, and she hadn't slept well in the past few days. Just now, she smiled at Chief Gu, and now her lips were cracked again and bleeding.

There was a hint of anxiety and sadness in Gu Jinghong's eyes. If only he could move.

"My surgery was successful, right? To what extent can I recover?"

Su Ying held the cup of water that Gu Jinghong was drinking from, raised her hand to wipe her mouth, and her fingers were immediately stained with blood.

"I have a handkerchief under my pillow."

Su Ying said "oh" and took out a white handkerchief from under his pillow. There were small flowers embroidered on the edges, which looked very delicate.

"It's new. It's a pity to wipe off the blood."

"No"

Since Chief Gu said he was fine, Su Ying didn't bother to be polite with him. She wiped the blood off her lips with the handkerchief, then took a few sips of water from the cup and asked Gu Jinghong.

"Do you want to drink?"

Gu Jinghong shook his head.

"I just drank it."

Su Ying put down the cup, held the handkerchief in her hand, and prepared to wash it in a while.

"You just asked me what degree of recovery I can expect. Some severed nerves cannot be repaired, at least not with my current technology. That would require artificial nerve replacement. So you might not be able to stand up completely, but sensation in your upper body should gradually return. The specific degree of recovery will depend on the progress of rehabilitation."

Su Ying pursed her lips. She was afraid that Gu Jinghong could not accept it, so she looked at him with some worry.

But Chief Gu actually smiled with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Su Ying blinked. This reaction was different from what she expected.
