Jiang Yue was exhausted and drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, it was completely dark outside.

Lu Jingnian didn't carry her back to her own little bed; he just let her sleep on the hospital bed like that.

When Jiang Yue opened her eyes, she saw Lu Jingnian lying next to her, protectively holding her in his arms.

The hospital bed wasn't big; it was a bit cramped for two people to sleep in it.

Jiang Yue was worried that Lu Jingnian might be uncomfortable while sleeping, so she gently removed his hand from her lower abdomen and tried to get up to sleep on her small bed.

Jiang Yue had barely moved when the man beside her woke up.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jingnian opened his eyes, tightened his grip on Jiang Yue, and pressed her close to him.

"This bed is too small, it's not comfortable for two people to sleep in. I want to sleep in the smaller bed," Jiang Yue said.

After saying that, Jiang Yue picked up the watch that was placed on the small table next to the hospital bed and glanced at it. "It's already one o'clock in the morning. Lu Jingnian, are you thirsty?"

Shall I get you some water?

"Need not."

Lu Jingnian did not let go of the person, "There are still a few people left, it will be dawn soon, don't go to the small bed."

He wanted to hold her while he slept.

That's how you can sleep soundly.

Jiang Yue didn't want to move either; her waist and legs were still sore, and she didn't really want to move.

Hearing Lu Jingnian say that, Jiang Yue found a comfortable position in Lu Jingnian's arms. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Is there any nurse coming this late?"

Jiang Yue rubbed her eyes and tried to get up, but Lu Jingnian held her down.

"You go back to sleep, I'll go."

After saying that, Lu Jingnian released Jiang Yue, got up, and went to open the door.

Opening the door, Lu Jingnian looked at the person standing outside, seemingly unsurprised. "Dr. Lin, is there something you need from me so late?"

Disagreeing with Lu Jingnian's calmness, Dr. Lin was full of surprise when she saw that it was Lu Jingnian who opened the door.

Especially when she saw that Lu Jingnian was not in a wheelchair, her pupils seemed to tremble with shock. "Mr. Lu, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

Where's your wife? How could she let you open the door?

"I was already resting when your knocking woke me up."

Lu Jingnian's words were anything but polite.

Dr. Lin felt somewhat aggrieved. "I'm sorry for disturbing your rest so late, but I didn't mean to. Mr. Lu, I came so late to see your wife. I'd like to talk to her, is that alright?"

Jiang Yue instantly woke up when she heard Lu Jingnian open the door and call for Dr. Lin.

Hearing that Dr. Lin wanted to talk to her, Jiang Yue's eyes darted around, but she remained lying on the bed without moving.

She didn't feel she had anything to talk about with this Dr. Lin.

Lu Jingnian thought so too. He also felt that his wife had nothing to talk about with this woman, so he directly refused: "Dr. Lin, my wife is very tired after taking care of me all day. She has already rested."

Besides, my wife doesn't know you well, and I don't think she has anything to talk to you about. If you don't have anything else to say, please leave and don't disturb my rest.

After saying that, Lu Jingnian was about to close the door.

"etc."

Seeing that Lu Jingnian was about to close the door, Dr. Lin quickly reached out and stopped the door panel. "Mr. Lu, I feel that you may have some misunderstanding about me. I have no ill intentions towards you."

I just want to try one more time, hoping that when you leave the hospital tomorrow, you can take me with you.

Knowing that his words were not convincing, Dr. Lin quickly added, "Mr. Lu, although I have only recently joined Dr. James's team, I have been practicing medicine for five years and have extensive experience."

Furthermore, I know your situation very well, especially your injury. I've done a lot of research, and we're both from China, so I'm definitely your best choice.

Lu Jingnian was not interested in what the other party was saying.

"You can't compare to James in terms of experience, and I have an assistant by my side who is always there to take care of me. I don't need a stranger to take care of me, Dr. Lin. I've made it very clear that I don't need a woman by my side."

If you keep making a fuss, I'll have to go to James and let him handle this."

Dr. Lin never expected that even after she had humbled herself so much to approach Lu Jingnian, he still wouldn't agree.

She really didn't have any bad intentions. She just guessed that the person who could get James' team involved must be someone important. Although she had been a doctor abroad for several years, it was very difficult for her to become famous because she had no connections or background.

Moreover, after so many years abroad, she was tired and wanted to return to China.

However, she heard that it wasn't easy to get into a good hospital in China, so she wanted to find a powerful backer before going back. She paid a high price to get into James' team.

Dr. Lin hadn't expected to meet Lu Jingnian here. She didn't know Lu Jingnian's true identity, but she was certain that he was no ordinary person.

If she could get close to him, she believed that with Lu Jingnian's help and her own abilities, she would achieve great success after returning to China.

Moreover, Lu Jingnian is very handsome. Although Lu Jingnian is already married, she is willing to give up her status as long as she can stay by his side.

But Dr. Lin never expected that Lu Jingnian would be so stubborn.

With her looks being so good, how could he not be tempted?

"Mr. Lu, I..."

Dr. Lin wanted to argue for something more, but before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yue interrupted her.

"What?"

Jiang Yue shielded Lu Jingnian behind her, looking at Dr. Lin with disdain. "Dr. Lin, my husband is kind, so he gave you some face when he spoke."

But I think you're the kind of person who doesn't appreciate kindness. Don't think everyone else is stupid. You tried to seduce my husband right in front of me. Do you think I'm blind and can't see through it, or do you think I'm so magnanimous as to call you "good sister"?

"I can't stop you from seducing men, but if you're trying to seduce my husband..."

Jiang Yue looked at the woman in front of her who was clearly insulted and starting to get angry, and pushed her directly, saying, "Watch out or I'll kill you."

After saying that, Jiang Yue didn't even look at the other person again, turned around and slammed the door shut.

The other party's intentions were too obvious.

It would be difficult for Jiang Yue not to notice.

Lu Jingnian looked at the door that Jiang Yue had closed and was overjoyed. "My wife is really amazing. She can protect me."

Jiang Yue chuckled and pinched his cheek. "You know how tough I am, so you'd better behave yourself. If I find out you dare to flirt with other women outside, I'll dump you."

"Won't."

Lu Jingnian carried Jiang Yue back to bed and solemnly assured her, "I only want you. I find it troublesome to even look at the other women."

Jiang Yue believed him. Lu Jingnian was indeed the kind of person who was deeply affectionate and devoted. Once he set his mind on someone, it was for life.
