I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
I was really scared. I was scared to see Li Tao not recover well, and I was even more scared to see Li Tao collapse in despair.
A good person, but lost an arm.
What a cruel reality this is?
After hesitating for a while, I pushed the door open and walked in. I saw that Li Tao had woken up and his younger brother Li Wen was taking care of him.
"Miss." Li Tao called me. His face was calm and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
But seeing him like this, I felt even worse.
Li Wen didn't say a word of blame to me, and was even still very respectful to me.
"You guys chat, I'm going to go get some water."
Li Wen left the ward, and I sat stiffly next to Li Tao.
My eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Tao's arm. The sleeve of his right arm was empty, which made my heart ache.
Noticing my gaze, Li Tao nonchalantly comforted me: "It's okay, this proves that I'm lucky. I only lost an arm, but I'm still alive."
I lowered my head in self-blame and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Li Tao, it's all because of me. If I had been the one to open the suitcase..."
"Ms. Lan Shan, don't say that. I am your bodyguard, and it is my responsibility to protect your safety."
Li Tao didn't hold any resentment towards me at all. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved. "I've been thinking, fortunately it wasn't you who opened the suitcase, otherwise my career as a bodyguard would have been tarnished."
Li Tao’s words made me feel mixed emotions, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say.
I wanted to come see him and comfort him, but now it's him who is comforting me.
Fortunately, Li Tao's condition is better than I expected. Except for that arm, the rest of his body has almost recovered.
Li Tao sighed with a hint of regret: "I just feel it's a pity that I couldn't rescue Xiaofeng."
I was deeply moved by Li Tao's sense of responsibility. I comforted him, "Don't think too much. The most important thing for you right now is to rest well."
Li Tao nodded and did not forget to mention his younger brother to me.
"Although I'm injured, my brother can help you. If you need anything, just call him."
Even though they were already badly injured, they still wanted to help us solve the problem. I really admire the loyalty of the Li Tao brothers.
But Li Tao’s injury has already made Mingyuan and I feel guilty, and we dare not let Li Wen get involved in any dangerous activities again.
I told Li Tao to take good care of his injuries, chatted with him about his current situation, and then left the ward.
As soon as I walked out of the ward, I saw Lu Zhiyuan sitting outside waiting for me.
"Are you done talking?" Lu Zhiyuan asked with concern.
I nodded, and felt a little more at ease.
"Li Tao's condition has recovered better than I expected. He didn't have a hysterical breakdown. I underestimated him before."
Lu Zhiyuan just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, I know in my heart, how could Li Tao be so strong?
But he was just acting in front of me. He just didn't want me to blame myself.
Take myself for example. I was devastated even after knowing that there was a chip in my leg. Li Tao's mood would not be much better than mine.
He deliberately acted carefree in front of me, because he was afraid that I would feel guilty and blame myself.
I sighed softly. "He's already in this state. In addition to financial compensation, Mingyuan promised to help him find the best treatment."
