Chapter 445 She agreed to stay and take care of him
Qi Mingxuan agreed to stay, and Han Mingyu immediately became well-behaved.
After the nurse gave him the injection, she started an IV drip.
Just to be on the safe side, the doctor decided to check his wound.
The bandages on his back were removed, revealing several red, swollen, and festering wounds.
Qi Mingxuan's pupils contracted slightly.
Han's mother and father, who were standing to the side, also gasped when they saw this.
They hadn't seen Han Mingyu's wound before and hadn't realized it was so serious.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"This is a bit tricky," the director said. "Sigh, the infection isn't under control. This whole ordeal will drag on for a long time before it's fully healed."
Upon hearing this, Han's mother's eyes reddened, feeling both heartache and anger: "You unfilial son, how old are you and you still don't know your place!"
Qi Mingxuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Han Mingyu closed his eyes, holding Qi Mingxuan's wrist tightly with one hand.
Actually, the fact that my body has been able to hold on until now despite having a high fever is entirely due to willpower.
He had already reached his limit, and his consciousness was gradually fading...
The director reapplied the medicine to Han Mingyu's wound and re-bandaged it.
"The IV drip cannot be stopped, otherwise the infection will not be controlled and the wound will be difficult to heal. If it keeps recurring and does not heal completely, surgery may be required in the end, which will be very troublesome."
Mr. Han nodded, "Okay, thank you, Director. We will pay more attention."
The director paused for a moment, then said, "Try to stay lying down as much as possible these next few days, and avoid getting up and moving around too much to avoid aggravating the wound."
After the nurse and the head nurse left, Han Mingyu closed his eyes and breathed evenly.
He fell into a deep sleep.
However, he never let go of Qi Mingxuan's wrist.
Han's mother sighed and looked at Qi Mingxuan: "Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to become like this. He's asleep, you should quietly go back."
"Okay." Qi Mingxuan nodded, trying to pull her hand back, but found that Han Mingyu was holding it very tightly.
She struggled slightly, but Han Mingyu gripped her even tighter.
"Why won't this brat let go? I'll take over..."
"Mom, forget it." Qi Mingxuan said calmly, "I'll stay tonight. He was injured because of me, so it's only right that I stay and take care of him."
Upon hearing this, Han's mother hesitated.
"Let's listen to Xiaoxuan," said Han's father. "Otherwise, if he wakes up and doesn't see Xiaoxuan, he'll make a fuss, and his injury will never heal."
"But Xiaoxuan needs to rest too!"
"Mom, I'm fine." Qi Mingxuan smiled faintly.
“No, that won’t do. You’ve just recovered, you can’t stay up all night.” Han’s mother paused for a moment and then said, “How about this, I’ll ask them to add another bed, so the two beds can be close together, and you can lie down and rest.”
Qi Mingxuan found this very strange.
However, both Mr. and Mrs. Han thought it was a good idea.
Han's mother called Dean Ji directly.
Soon, the nurse moved a bed from the next ward.
The two beds were next to each other.
Han's mother smiled and said, "Then your father and I will go back first. It's getting late, so you should lie down and rest early. If anything happens in the middle of the night, just call the nurse. Take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest!"
"Dad, Mom, drive carefully on your way back."
Mr. Han nodded and replied, "Call us if you need anything."
"good."
After Han's parents left, Qi Mingxuan sat down by the bed.
Han Mingyu was fast asleep, but he didn't seem to be sleeping very well; his brows were furrowed.
Qi Mingxuan tried several more times, but still couldn't break free from Han Mingyu's grasp.
She sighed, decided to give up, and lay down on the other bed.
The hospital bed wasn't as comfortable as the one at home, and Qi Mingxuan thought she would have insomnia, but perhaps she was too tired today, and she fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.
...
In the early morning, sunlight streamed in through the window curtains.
The sound of nurses talking and the rolling of dressing carts could be heard from the corridor.
Qi Mingxuan opened her eyes.
"woke up."
A deep male voice came from beside me.
Qi Mingxuan turned her head and met Han Mingyu's smiling gaze.
She frowned, propping herself up in bed. "When did you wake up?"
"I woke up at six o'clock, but you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you." Han Mingyu lay on the bed, looking radiant, showing no signs of being a patient.
Qi Mingxuan asked him, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Han Mingyu's back still hurts, but not as badly as it did yesterday.
But he knew that if he told the truth, Qi Mingxuan would run away.
"I feel a burning pain in my back, my head hurts, and my chest feels tight."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan threw off the covers, put on her shoes, and got out of bed. "Then I'll call a doctor for you."
"No need." Han Mingyu reached out and pulled her back.
Qi Mingxuan paused, then looked down at the hand that was holding her wristband.
My palms aren't so hot anymore.
She was even more certain that Han Mingyu's fever had subsided.
"Let go." Qi Mingxuan looked at him, her expression calm but cold: "Since you said you got hurt because you were helping me, then I'll take care of you until you're discharged from the hospital as compensation. But afterwards, I hope you won't bother me anymore, and you shouldn't go to the Qi family again."
Han Mingyu released his hand, clutched his head, and cried out in pain.
Qi Mingxuan was taken aback and looked him over: "What's wrong with you?"
"I suddenly had a headache and tinnitus..." Han Mingyu looked at Qi Mingxuan with a pained expression, "So I didn't hear what you just said."
Qi Mingxuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Han Mingyu was acting!
"Han Mingyu, have you ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?" Qi Mingxuan frowned, her expression serious. "As a patient who has just undergone emergency treatment for a high fever, I advise you to stop making such jokes."
Han Mingyu paused.
Qi Mingxuan turned and walked out, "I'm going to buy some daily necessities."
The decision to stay and take care of Han Mingyu was made on short notice.
Qi Mingxuan hadn't brought anything with her, so she had to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some.
She called Anmi while she was shopping.
"I'll be at the hospital for the next few days. If there are any documents that I need to review and sign, please bring them to the hospital for me."
Hearing this, Anmi assumed that Qi Mingxuan was sick and hospitalized again.
He immediately tensed up, "President Qi, what's wrong?"
“It’s not me who’s in the hospital,” Qi Mingxuan said helplessly. “It’s Han Mingyu. He got injured while protecting me, and now he’s pestering me to take care of him.”
Anmi: "..."
As expected of a businessman, Mr. Han knows how to make the most of any advantage he has.
This so-called "care" is probably just a pretext.
Anmi sighed inwardly. It must be tough for her boss, Qi, to be stuck with a man like President Han!
...
When Qi Mingxuan returned from shopping, she encountered Ji Lin carrying a fruit basket outside the ward.
The two looked at each other.
Qi Mingxuan's gaze swept over his hand, which was still wrapped in gauze. "Has the injury healed at all?"
"It's recovered quite well." Ji Lin's gaze swept over the shopping bag in Qi Mingxuan's hand. "What are you doing...?"
“I will take care of him at the hospital for the next few days until he is discharged.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Lin did not frown at all. "Your own body has only just recovered a little. You can hire a caregiver to take care of the injured."
"It's nothing." Qi Mingxuan smiled faintly, pushed open the ward door, and said, "Come in."
Ji Lin lowered his eyes, a strange emotion flashing in them.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the ward.
In the ward, Han Mingyu lay on the hospital bed, holding a mobile phone in one hand and talking on the phone.
"That's all. Send it over right now."
Han Mingyu hung up the phone after speaking and placed it aside.
"Ji Lin has come to see you." Qi Mingxuan said to Han Mingyu, then turned around, opened the cabinet, and put the things she had bought inside.
Then, she took her toiletries and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed, and soon the sound of running water could be heard as people washed up.
Han Mingyu looked at Ji Lin and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Ji Lin, I'm sorry, but I'm the main character in this hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story. You're too slow; you're destined not to be the great hero who protects her from danger."
Ji Lin placed the fruit on the table beside him, then turned and walked towards Han Mingyu.
"You did protect Xiaoxuan, but you used this favor to morally bind her. Such behavior can only be considered that of a petty person."
"Oh." Han Mingyu was not provoked at all, but instead raised his eyebrows smugly: "Ji Lin, Qi Mingxuan and I are not officially divorced yet. We are in a cooling-off period now and are still a legally married couple."
Ji Lin smiled faintly, "You don't need to tell me all this. I'll say it again: I respect all of Xiao Xuan's decisions."
"Who do you think you are? Does she need your respect?" Han Mingyu's face darkened, no longer caring about saving face, and he bluntly stated: "Ji Lin, I know what you're thinking, but I haven't stepped down yet. Your current behavior is no different from that of a male mistress!"
Ji Lin frowned. "Han Mingyu, you can say whatever you want, but before you say some things, please consider Xiaoxuan. You're always like this. So many years have passed, and when your temper flares up, you dare to say the harshest things. But have you ever thought that sometimes what you think are just angry words can become the sharpest sword to destroy the other person!"
Han Mingyu's face was gloomy, his jawline taut: "I need you to teach me? Ji Lin, stop coveting my woman, or don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Ji Lin pursed his thin lips, and his gentle features were now tinged with a hint of fierceness.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Qi Mingxuan came out.
The two, who had been at odds, were taken aback for a moment, then their expressions changed, and they both looked at Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan paused, looking at the two people staring at her, and frowned slightly: "Why are you both looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Ji Lin smiled. "I still have to work my shift, so I'll be going now."
Qi Mingxuan nodded, "I'll see you out..."
"Wife!" Han Mingyu suddenly shouted.
Qi Mingxuan and Ji Lin both paused and turned to look at him.
Han Mingyu reached out to Qi Mingxuan, "I need to use the restroom, could you get me the IV bag?"
Qi Mingxuan frowned slightly.
Ji Lin frowned and walked towards Han Mingyu: "I'll do it!"
"Men should keep their distance!" Han Mingyu slapped away Ji Lin's outstretched hand that was trying to help him. "I have a wife to take care of, do I need a green tea bitch like you to help me?"
Ji Lin gritted his teeth: "...Han Mingyu, don't be so naive."
"Go away, and don't come to see me again unless it's absolutely necessary. We're not that close!"
Ji Lin: "..."
He was just a superfluous visitor.
Qi Mingxuan still escorted Ji Lin to the ward.
"That's just his temper, don't take it to heart," Qi Mingxuan said.
"I'm fine," Ji Lin said, looking at her. "I'm just worried about you."
Qi Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry about me, we've already applied for divorce. Now we just need to wait for the cooling-off period to end before we can get the divorce certificate."
"That's good." Ji Lin's expression relaxed. "Then I'll be going."
"Um."
Qi Mingxuan watched Ji Lin walk away before returning to her ward.
Han Mingyu stared at her. "Qi Mingxuan, I've told you I don't like you getting too close to Ji Lin."
Qi Mingxuan glanced at him indifferently, "Han Mingyu, you're very noisy."
Han Mingyu: "..."
Qi Mingxuan walked over to the sofa, sat down, and took out her phone to handle work matters.
Han Mingyu felt aggrieved: "I need to use the restroom, can you help me?"
Qi Mingxuan looked up at him.
Han Mingyu frowned: "I'm serious."
She pursed her lips, put down her phone, and got up to walk towards him.
Han Mingyu had a back injury, so he got up very slowly, but it was still inevitable that he would aggravate the wound.
He frowned and remained silent.
Qi Mingxuan noticed this and slowed down her movements to help him up.
Once he was standing still, she stepped back. "Are you alright by yourself?"
Han Mingyu looked at her, a sly glint in his eyes: "I can't lift my arm, can you help me get the IV bag?"
