Chapter 158: Even Dogs Won’t Leave When People Die
Although the doctor had told him not to worry about Shen Zhichu, he still couldn't let her go. He touched her forehead from time to time to confirm her temperature, gave her water, and wiped her body with a wet towel to cool her down.
After an hour of tossing and turning, his temperature finally came down. Li Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
He got on the bed, turned sideways, and closed his eyes facing Shen Zhichu.
…….
At eight o'clock the next day, the doctor came in to check, and Shen Zhichu's temperature had returned to normal: "No big problem, just external injuries. If you find it troublesome to apply medicine, you can stay in the hospital for a few more days."
The most serious wound was the one on the wrist, which cut a blood vessel but fortunately did not injure the tendons.
But she had to get a few stitches there, and there will be a flesh-colored scar on her wrist that will accompany her for the rest of her life.
Zhao Qian stopped by in the morning and bought a bouquet of flowers and fruits on the way. He didn't know what Shen Zhichu liked to eat, so he picked a little of each and also selected a few nutritious snacks.
When Zhao Qian came in with lots of greeting gifts, Li Jingshen was sitting by the window eating breakfast. His complexion looked much better than yesterday, but there was a faint dark blue under his eyes. It was probably because he slept late last night to take care of Chen Zhichu.
This was not the first time Zhao Qian had seen Shen Zhichu hospitalized. Generally speaking, Shen Zhichu had been very unlucky this year and had to go to the hospital from time to time, and each time the injuries were serious and fatal.
And when he saw Li Jingshen taking care of Shen Zhichu, his attitude changed significantly, from disdain and cold observation at the beginning, to sleepless nights later.
He had always thought that Li Jingshen was a cold-hearted person. No matter what happened around him, his expression was neither cold nor warm. To Shen Zhichu, it would be better to say that he treated him like a dog that had been fed for many years.
Dogs are so loyal that they won't leave their owners even if they die.
Li Jingshen didn't seem to care about Shen Zhichu because he was too confident of winning. He was blindly confident and thought that Shen Zhichu would stay with him forever.
And now it seems that Li Jingshen has failed. Perhaps even he himself does not know how deep his feelings for Shen Zhichu are.
…….
Shen Zhichu woke up in a daze. It was a little dark around her and her mind was blank. She couldn't tell where she was for a moment.
She moved her sore arm and accidentally pulled the pain in her back. She gasped and a horrible memory quickly flooded into her mind.
Chen Jiaxing, she remembered being beaten by Chen Jiaxing, she cut her wrists when she was pressed on the bed, and Li Jingshen came when she thought she was about to die.
She was in the hospital now. Shen Zhichu quickly figured out her situation, but the curtains were drawn and there was no time to look around, so she couldn't tell what time it was or how long she had been unconscious.
There was a noise in the bathroom. Shen Zhichu looked over and saw Li Jingshen coming out. After seeing that she woke up, his expressionless face finally relaxed a little.
With a gleam in his eyes, he strode over to Shen Zhichu and asked her immediately, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to drink some water? Is there any pain?"
A series of questions. Shen Zhichu had just woken up and felt dizzy and exhausted. He said with some effort: "It hurts."
Unexpectedly, Li Jingshen's face changed, and he said in a cold tone: "You still feel pain! You dare to go to the underground gambling city alone? Is that the place you should go?"
