This "thank you" was particularly abrupt in the silent ward.
Han Jingchen's body froze instantly, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the emotions surging inside me.
Once upon a time, Gu Youran's heart and eyes were filled with him.
But now, I can only accept the thanks from my love rival as an outsider.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and stepped out of the ward.
The door slowly closed behind me, as if completely locking the past relationship inside.
Han Jingchen stood outside the door and looked up at the ceiling.
He suppressed the bitterness in his eyes and left quickly.
In the ward.
Shi Heng sat beside the bed, staring at Gu Youran who was sleeping on the hospital bed.
That gaze seemed to be entangled by invisible silk threads, filled with unbreakable pity and deep self-blame.
With a wet handkerchief, he gently wiped Gu Youran's hand, where Han Jingchen had held it.
Shi Heng wiped very slowly, again and again, as if he wanted to erase all traces.
After a long time, he threw the handkerchief into the trash can.
Then, he put Gu Youran's hand on his face.
Her lips moved as she whispered, "It's my fault. I didn't protect you well and let you get hurt. It's all my fault..."
His head gradually lowered, a few strands of hair fell messily, covering his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
That was the effort to suppress anger and pain.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Standing in front of the window, Shi Heng dialed a number and said in a low voice, "Check this car accident for me, check it carefully!"
"Whether it's man-made or accidental, all details, all people and things must be thoroughly investigated, and no one should be left unpunished."
After saying that, he hung up the phone abruptly, squeezing the phone so hard that it made a rattling sound.
He looked through the window, gazing at the ray of morning light in the distance.
…
Gu Youran woke up and felt dizzy.
I raised my hand and touched the gauze bandaged on my head, and immediately thought of the car accident.
"Youbao, you're awake! Are you feeling unwell?" Shi Heng's voice was a little hoarse, revealing deep worry.
The moment Gu Youran saw him, her heart, which had been floating in the air, seemed to have found its home, and her eyes were slightly moist.
"I... I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Why are you here?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was dry and painful.
Shi Heng quickly stood up, took the thermos cup beside him, gently helped her up, and fed her a few sips of water.
He said calmly, "How can I be at ease with such a big commotion on the other end of the phone?"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Zheng Dong pushed the door open carrying an insulated box.
Seeing Gu Youran wake up, he shouted excitedly: "Sister-in-law, you're awake! You don't know how scary it was when the boss came back. And that driver who caused the accident..."
"Zheng Dong!" Zheng Dong was talking with saliva flying everywhere, and Shi Heng's voice suddenly became cold, as if it contained ice chips.
It's a strong warning.
Zheng Dong shuddered and immediately shut up.
Thinking of Shi Heng's murderous aura this morning, a chill ran through his heart.
Last night, after hearing that Gu Youran had an accident, Shi Heng rushed back from M City in a panic.
After returning, he did not hesitate to mobilize all his connections and resources to thoroughly investigate the matter.
The swift and decisive momentum made everyone silent.
He once said with great conviction: "If I can't even protect my own wife, how can I have the dignity and responsibility to shoulder the responsibility!"
Ever since he came back, the whole atmosphere has become tense and depressing, and everyone feels insecure.
Finally, Gu Youran woke up and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Youran raised her eyes and looked at Shi Heng with some resentment, "Why don't you let him talk? I want to listen."
Shi Heng's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of doting, "You've been sleeping all day, drink some porridge first and take good care of your body. Leave the rest to me."
As he said that, he took the thermal box from Zheng Dong's hand.
He took out a bowl of porridge, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, blew it at the corner of his mouth, and then handed it to Gu Youran's mouth.
Zheng Dong stood aside with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.
This... is this the Shi Heng he knows?
Gu Youran noticed Zheng Dong's strange gaze, and a shy blush appeared on her face. She curled her lips and said, "Heng, my hand is not injured. I can eat it myself."
Shi Heng glanced at Zheng Dong, who immediately understood what he meant. He turned around and left quickly, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Shi Heng pretended not to hear and continued with his actions.
There seemed to be a deep lake hidden in his eyes, gazing at Gu Youran with rippling light.
Gu Youran couldn't resist and could only open her mouth and let him feed her.
After feeding her a bowl of porridge, Shi Heng picked up the tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth very carefully.
That gentle movement made Gu Youran wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The blush on her face spread all the way to her ears.
At this moment, the knock on the door sounded again, breaking the subtle atmosphere in the ward.
Tan Min and Liu Mengyao pushed the door open and walked in.
See this scene in front of you.
Tan Min laughed and joked, "Doctor Gu, President Shi dotes on his wife like this, we can't even envy him."
Liu Mengyao also nodded. "That's right. Everyone can see how good Mr. Shi is to you. You Ran, you've really fallen into a honeypot."
Gu Youran gave the two of them a reproachful look, "You're the only ones who can say that."
Shi Heng stood up, smiled and nodded to the two of them in thanks, "Thank you for coming to visit Youbao, it's so thoughtful of you."
Tan Min placed the fruit basket on the counter and said, "Doctor Gu, take good care of yourself. We are relieved that you are always taking such thoughtful care of us."
