Ni Sitian was fine and was discharged after one day of observation in the hospital.
Because of the pregnancy complications, the doctor advised Xiang Zhilan to stay in bed for a few days and avoid getting out of bed as much as possible.
Shen Muzhi was the most seriously injured and would need to be hospitalized for at least a week, so Xiang Zhilan simply accompanied him to the hospital.
The two resumed their daily routine of sharing a bed, but their mindset was completely different from before.
In the past, Xiang Zhilan was always coerced, but this time she volunteered to take care of him nearby. After all, a gunshot wound is no small matter, and coupled with the fact that he can't move his legs, his life will be very inconvenient.
However, there was one thing Xiang Zhilan didn't understand: the more attentive she was to him, the uglier his expression became.
Sometimes I can't stand his unpredictable moods, so I yell at him a few times, and he actually feels much better.
This made her even more convinced that he really had masochistic tendencies. She sincerely suggested that he see a doctor, but he thought she was joking.
So, she took the opportunity of going to the restroom to call Xiao Yi that day.
Since Xiao Yi is Shen Muzhi's friend, it shouldn't be a big deal to notify him to come and visit.
After Xiang Zhilan finished her phone call with Xiao Yi and confirmed that he would be coming in the afternoon, she felt relieved.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw the doctor changing the dressing on Shen Muzhi's wound.
"There's shrapnel embedded in the bone, and it can't be completely removed. You'll need to come in every month for regular X-rays to check if the shrapnel has moved. If anything changes, be prepared," the doctor said while changing the dressing on the incision.
Xiang Zhilan was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Wasn't the surgery supposed to be successful? How come there are shrapnel pieces left inside?"
The doctor looked at Zhi Lan and said, "This is already a great success."
After he finished speaking, he left the ward. Xiang Zhilan looked at Shen Muzhi, bit her lip, and said, "You knew all along?"
Shen Muzhi nodded. He had already known about it that morning, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
It's quite remarkable that he managed to save his arm after being shot. Although things might change in the future, for him, the price was worth it. He saved Xiang Zhilan and their child; nothing is more important than that.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Xiang Zhilan's eyes reddened slightly.
"It's not that important," Shen Muzhi replied indifferently.
"Isn't that important? What else is important? Your right arm could be useless at any time!" Xiang Zhilan's voice was choked as she approached Shen Muzhi.
"You." Shen Muzhi only said these two words, then took Xiang Zhilan's hand with his left hand and gently placed it on her stomach.
Xiang Zhilan lowered her eyes, gripped Shen Muzhi's hand tightly, and felt a complex mix of emotions surging within her.
She thought that everything would return to normal after she was discharged from the hospital in a few days, but she never expected that there was a time bomb planted in his arm that could explode at any time, all because he saved her.
"Can you hear two fetal heartbeats now?" Shen Muzhi asked, changing the subject.
Xiang Zhilan suppressed her complicated emotions, nodded, and replied in a low voice, "I went to the obstetrics department this morning and they heard a faint sound."
"It will get better slowly." Shen Muzhi looked at her belly with tender eyes.
Xiang Zhilan thought of the day he said she liked him. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. After a while, she opened her lips and gently pursed them: "Shen Muzhi, do you really like me?"
Shen Mu's hand froze, stiffening completely.
That night, he didn't think at all; those words just slipped out of his mouth. Perhaps they were words he had kept hidden in his heart for a long time.
