Chapter 706 "You are not suited to lying."
"Yes, I'm here."
When Xu Wan saw Jiang Tingzhou wake up, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
She stayed there all day, but the man remained unconscious with a high fever, and the doctors and nurses seemed to have no better options, which made her feel somewhat desperate.
Seeing that the man was awake, I finally felt a little relieved.
"Why are you crying?"
The man raised his arm, his thumb gently stroking the woman's cheek, a smile playing on his lips. "So it wasn't a dream after all."
"What?"
"I thought I was delirious from my illness and was dreaming."
Jiang Tingzhou was physically weak and his strength quickly gave out, so he withdrew his hand.
"You promised to call at nine every day, but you didn't call that day, so I had to come find you." Xu Wan sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch the man's forehead. "You still have a fever. How are you feeling now? Shall I go call a doctor for you?"
"No need." Jiang Tingzhou tightened his grip on the woman's hand, his eyes gentle. "I missed you. Spend more time with me."
Xu Wan looked at the man in front of her, her eyes still red.
She had known Jiang Tingzhou for a long time; men are always full of vigor and strategic thinking, and rarely have such moments of weakness.
“Okay.” Xu Wan sat down.
Jiang Tingzhou had little strength, but he held Xu Wan tightly in his hand.
I'm afraid she'll leave.
How did you get here?
Jiang Tingzhou immediately asked this question.
He knew the location of the hospital very well. It was built on a mountain and inaccessible by car. Cars could only get halfway there, and there was still a long distance to the hospital. In addition, the mountain road was rugged, making it almost impossible for people to walk up. Usually, people would go in and out by helicopter.
"I...I came by helicopter."
Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, but still chose to lie.
She was glad that she was wearing a hospital gown, long sleeves and trousers, which covered the wounds on her arms and legs.
Actually, I have some injuries on my hands, but most of them are on my right palm.
Jiang Tingzhou looked at the woman, and after a moment said, "I remember saying before that you are not suited to lying."
"..."
"Who picked you up?"
"no……"
Xu Wan shook her head gently, her hand unconsciously tugging at her sleeve.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "Considering I'm a patient and I can't do anything to you, why don't you just tell the truth?"
"I……"
"Knock knock knock".
Just as Xu Wan was struggling with whether or not to tell the truth, there was a knock on the door of the ward behind her.
The door was opened a crack, and the doctor spoke a few words to someone outside before entering.
Later that evening, Melissa said "OK".
When the doctor came in and saw that Jiang Tingzhou was awake, he communicated with Jiang Tingzhou in the local language. After a brief conversation, the doctor left.
Xu Wan knew that Jiang Tingzhou spoke many languages, and she wasn't surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Xu Wan asked.
"He went to get me some food, and after I ate, I had another check-up before taking my medicine."
Jiang Tingzhou translated what he had just said.
Xu Wan thought of Melissa and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. "You didn't let me take care of you when you had surgery, but you let a pregnant woman take care of you?"
"What pregnant woman?"
Jiang Tingzhou frowned.
"Your secretary, Melissa, is so far along in her pregnancy, and you still let her come over? Aren't you afraid she'll miscarry and then blame you?"
It would be a lie for Xu Wan to say that she wasn't angry or bothered at all.
After all, Jiang Tingzhou had previously affirmed Melissa's abilities and admitted that she had liked him.
Xu Wan felt it was wrong to stay by someone's side knowing they liked her.
She did not mention Melissa's use of Xiaoxiao to threaten her for the time being.
"Melissa?" Jiang Tingzhou frowned even more upon hearing this name, his tone becoming somewhat serious. "Was that her at the door just now? I didn't let her come over. When did you see her?"
"I arrived here last night, and when I woke up this morning I didn't see her. I just saw you were still asleep, so I went out for a walk, and that's when I saw her..."
Knowing that Melissa wasn't always there, Xu Wan felt a little relieved.
Jiang Tingzhou said, "Melissa and Jiang De'an have close ties, so you shouldn't have too much contact with her."
Only when Jiang De'an was mentioned did Xu Wan realize who he was.
She told Jiang Tingzhou, "She just wouldn't let me in, saying I'm a female swindler."
Jiang Tingzhou raised an eyebrow. "And then?"
“Then I told her that you fell in love with me at first sight, and that I am now your girlfriend,” Xu Wan explained. “She definitely doesn’t know about our previous relationship. We’re not married, so naturally she’s my girlfriend.”
"That's great." Jiang Tingzhou squeezed Xu Wan's hand tightly and smiled. "We agreed to get married when we first met, but we've never been a couple. This is a good opportunity to make up for it."
