She hadn't eaten the fish she bought from the market last time, and this time it came in handy.

Yuan Qiang took Xia Enruo back to the compound. He originally planned to take her to the hospital, but Xia Enruo repeatedly refused, telling him to go home and rest.

After Yuan Qiang left, Ge Qiuqin, Tian Xiuli, and others came to the house one after another. Some brought a few eggs, some brought two bags of milk powder, and some brought some fruit, which piled up on the table like a small mountain.

After seeing everyone off, she took the fish out of the freezer and put it in the kitchen to start making breakfast for Gu Shaoxuan.

As the anesthesia wore off, Gu Shaoxuan woke up with pain. He opened his eyes and looked at the white surroundings, realizing he was in the hospital. He only remembered that the drug dealers drove a truck toward the car he was in, and then he had no memory of anything else.

Gu Shaoxuan and Ding Haotian's hospital rooms are adjacent, one room for each of them. This was specially arranged by the military so that they could recuperate in peace and quiet without being disturbed.

Gu Shaoxuan looked around at everything. He was the only one in the ward, so quiet that he could hear the sunlight streaming in.

"That makes sense. I was going to divorce Xia Enruo yesterday anyway, so how could I let her take care of me?"

Ding Haotian woke up earlier than Gu Shaoxuan. Qiao Huizhen went to the hospital cafeteria to get breakfast and came back. When she passed by Gu Shaoxuan's ward, she saw that Xia Enruo was not inside, so she went in.

"Chief of Staff Gu is awake. You're really lucky to have survived such a serious injury. What about your Xia? Why wasn't she by your side when her husband was injured? She just disappeared in the blink of an eye. You know, young women these days are unreliable."

"Now that you're injured, Xia might think your future is ruined and just run away. She was arguing and cursing at me then; looks like she's just all talk. Chief of Staff Gu, now that you're immobilized, she and that pretty boy can be even more unruly."

Qiao Huizhen teased Xia Enruo for ages in the hospital room, then swayed her hips as she left, secretly pleased with herself.

"Gu Shaoxuan deserves to be left without anyone to take care of him. Xia Enruo, you're just a piece of trash, you can't do anything right. But then again, if you were to cook for him, he'd probably die even faster. Do you even have the spare money to go to the cafeteria?"

Gu Shaoxuan watched Qiao Huizhen come in and go, feeling a strange mix of emotions, especially seeing her carrying food for Ding Haotian; he was actually quite hungry now.
