After everyone left, the ward became quiet. Han Yixian spun his wheelchair and sat down in front of Du Yuhan's bed.
He looked at Du Yuhan lying unconscious on the bed, her eyes were dark and she hadn't rested well.
I finally gained some weight, but I guess I'll lose it all again after getting sick.
Seeing that Du Yuhan was frowning even in her sleep, you could tell she wasn't sleeping well and was definitely having a nightmare.
Du Yuhan was indeed immersed in a nightmare. She dreamed that Han Yixian had been shot and was on the verge of death. She held Han Yixian and shouted, "Han Yixian, don't die, don't die."
The scene in the dream shifted again, showing Du Yuhan returning to China in her previous life and visiting Han Yixian's grave after learning of his death.
She stroked Han Yixian's tombstone, weeping uncontrollably, repeatedly saying before it, "Han Yixian, Brother Han, why didn't you wait for me? Why didn't you wait for me? I can heal your leg now. Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
In her dream, she saw her son heartbroken after learning of her death in a bombing, as well as her older brothers and grandsons weeping.
She also dreamt of her adoptive parents, who were waving to her and pleading with her to save them. They didn't want to starve to death.
In her sleep, Du Yuhan was troubled by scenes of pain, sadness, and despair.
Han Yixian saw Du Yuhan's body trembling and sweat quickly beading on her forehead, and he knew that Du Yuhan must be having a nightmare.
He picked up a towel to wipe Du Yuhan's sweat, when he heard Du Yuhan mutter incoherently, "Han Yixian, don't die, don't die. Han Yixian, Brother Han, why didn't you wait for me, why didn't you wait for me? I can heal your leg now. Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
Han Yixian was stunned as he listened to Du Yuhan's ramblings, and then he saw tears streaming down Du Yuhan's closed eyes.
Even he could clearly feel Du Yuhan's deep sorrow and despair at that moment.
Du Yuhan kept muttering in her sleep, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, which made Han Yixian's heart ache.
He wiped away Du Yuhan's tears and sweat, held her hand tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Yuhan, Brother Han is not dead. Brother Han is waiting for you to come back. Brother Han will always be waiting for you."
With Han Yixian's constant reassurance, Du Yuhan finally stopped trembling and crying, and Han Yixian was somewhat relieved.
He hadn't expected Du Yuhan to care about him so much, that he was even in her dreams. He also knew that this incident must have terrified her.
He thought of Du Yuhan's precise marksmanship and the gun that killed the scorpion.
Why is Du Yuhan such a good shot? Why does she always carry a gun? These are all mysteries that puzzle him.
But he didn't want to ask Du Yuhan directly. He was afraid of putting her in a difficult position.
He was certain that Du Yuhan wouldn't harm him, only protect him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked exposing herself by shooting and killing Scorpion in such a critical moment yesterday.
He had always felt that Du Yuhan had a secret, and now he was even more certain of it. However, he had a gut feeling that Du Yuhan's secret posed no threat to him.
This is why he didn't investigate Du Yuhan's secrets. He was also afraid that his investigation would drive Du Yuhan away. That was not what he wanted to see.
Don't I have many secrets too? When they understand each other better, they will naturally be honest with one another.
Han Yixian stayed by Du Yuhan's side the whole time, comforting her whenever she had a nightmare.
Knowing that Liu Gang had gone back to the courtyard to prepare potatoes, Han Xiuqin bought lunch for Han Yixian. She personally checked on Du Yuhan's condition; her high fever had mostly subsided, and she should be fine.
Han Yixian would have the nurse take Du Yuhan's temperature every now and then, until Du Yuhan's temperature finally returned to normal around 3 p.m.
Du Yuhan slept for a whole day and only woke up groggily in the evening.
She unconsciously touched her groaning head and opened her eyes, only to find herself not in her own bedroom.
Before she could think any further, someone spoke up beside her. It was Han Yixian's voice, "Yuhan, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
Du Yuhan turned her head and saw Han Yixian sitting in front of her bed. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother Han, where am I?"
Han Yixian replied, "We're at the hospital. We found you with a high fever and unconsciousness this morning, so we rushed you here. Your fever has subsided now. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Du Yuhan said, "My head hurts a little, and my whole body aches. But it's okay, these are just aftereffects of a high fever. I'll be fine after a rest. I'm a doctor myself, so I know what I'm doing."
Han Yixian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your health problems are caused by being frightened and then overworking. It was my negligence. Did you have a nightmare last night?"
Han Yixian was quite familiar with this situation. Soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time often experienced psychological problems after returning from combat. For example, they might lose their appetite or have nightmares.
Even on his first battlefield experience, it took him several days to recover.
Du Yuhan is a young girl; killing someone with her own hands will definitely leave her with psychological trauma. He neglected to counsel and guide her.
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I had nightmares all night, and I was sweating profusely every time. I probably caught a chill in the middle of the night. Now that my fever has subsided, I should be fine. I think I should be discharged today. Staying in the hospital is inconvenient in many ways, and it will also delay your rest."
Han Yixian said, "Let's stay in the hospital today, in case it relapses. I'll stay in the hospital too, and we'll discharge you tomorrow once we're sure you're okay. Then we'll go home together."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuhan asked in surprise, "Oh, you're also staying at the hospital? Which room are you in?"
Han Yixian smiled and said, "Of course I'll stay in this room. There's a spare bed here. That way, I can find out if anything happens to you tonight."
Upon hearing that Han Yixian wanted to share a hospital room with her, Du Yuhan quickly said, "Brother Han, I really don't need anyone to watch over me. Look, I'm all better now, and I can be discharged without any problem. You won't be able to rest well in the hospital either, so you should go back."
Seeing Du Yuhan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Han Yixian found it amusing and made an excuse, saying, "I was worried that things might not be peaceful in the courtyard these past few days, so I was just looking for an excuse to hide out."
Upon hearing Han Yixian's words, Du Yuhan immediately suspected that someone had come to assassinate him. If it weren't for her intervention, Han Yixian would have been in grave danger.
What made Du Yuhan even more uneasy was that such a thing had never happened in her previous life.
Could it be that she caused the butterfly effect? Or did something happen in her past life that she is unaware of?
Du Yuhan carefully recalled some events from her past life and also remembered some clues. There must have been someone who tried to assassinate Han Yixian in her past life, but they avoided her, so she didn't know it.
