wake
"Jason... come here... did you hear anything just now? Am I hallucinating because I'm too tired..."
It wasn't until he heard the assistant's confirmation that York covered his mouth and sighed repeatedly as if he had discovered a new world:
"Oh my god! Dustin...this Dustin actually apologized? Did the sun really rise from the west?"
As if that wasn't enough, he started to pull the other person's cheek:
"My friend, are you sure you're okay? You haven't been possessed by...how to put that...oh yes...?"
“....”
Dustin's strength had not yet recovered, so he could only sit there in silence while his friend tormented him.
Sharon, who had just entered the ward with the documents, repeated to herself three times "Boss almost got into trouble" before she finally suppressed her laughter. She also complained, "It's rare that Sir knows such an old Chinese slang as 'possession'."
"Boss, I'm glad to see you're safe and sound. During the few days you were in a coma, many well-known media outlets from around the world have been constantly inquiring about you. Under Sir's leadership, we can still cope, but this isn't a long-term solution. I wonder what you plan to do..."
Even though Dustin had just woken up, as the person in charge of Infinity, he could not escape his responsibilities anyway, so he immediately became serious and checked the documents sent by Sharon while receiving the infusion.
"Boss, there's one more thing, about Miss Yan's identity..."
"how?"
"You came to Country Z this time to seek political asylum. Naturally, you cannot ignore the relevant domestic requirements. The information of all accompanying personnel needs to be verified one by one, so..."
Dustin and York exchanged a glance, understanding the stakes involved. This country had always stood tall in the East with its own unique code of conduct; even if Infinity was a world-leading company, it couldn't deviate even slightly.
At this moment, my brain, which had been somewhat slow due to illness, seemed to have just recalled an important thing -
"Where's Yan?"
The image of Yan falling down and covered in blood appeared before his eyes. Dustin looked around the ward, his face seemed even paler than before. Without waiting for an answer, he hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
"What happened? Didn't Yan come back with me? She must be injured. Where did she go...hiss——"
"Hey, hey, slow down!"
York hurriedly supported the person who almost fell, and while comforting him, he asked Jason to push the wheelchair over.
…
Then, when a patient in the next ward saw a robot butler carrying his unconscious friend into the room, the worry and anxiety he had been waiting for for so long for no reason almost turned the entire Saint Rohan Hospital upside down.
Fortunately, York tried his best to push him into the wheelchair.
"Jason, go get a doctor. Also, this is a special situation. No unrelated personnel are allowed to get close to Yan. Take him out!"
Dustin spoke in a bad tone, and his eyes fell on Mu Qingyan who was still unconscious, and his expression became even gloomier.
Didn't he see the pale face of the latter emerging from his black windbreaker, the bloodstains on his right shoulder, and...
Although it is now covered by the quilt, just now, Yan's body was obviously completely naked under the windbreaker.
However, the culprit in front of him still looked calm and composed, using emotionless eyes and actions to block York's intention to come closer to check.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, Yan needs to rest now, so it's better not to disturb her."
"Yan's injury hasn't healed yet, and she's been out for such a long time. She needs treatment! Kins, I think we should hear what the doctor says before--"
York was interrupted before he could finish his words:
"Mr. Stanson, as you can see, I've been taking care of Yan's daily needs for the past few years. I know her situation best. If your company didn't still owe Country Z a lot of debts, and Yan definitely didn't want to cause trouble for her friends because of her identity, I wouldn't allow her to stay here any longer. Therefore, you are the ones who should leave this ward before she wakes up."
The tone was polite and restrained, yet not giving in at all. York also heard the subtle aggression in the other party's words, and once again clearly realized that this person's personality was completely different from Kinsley's.
But, can we really compare them like this?
In the final analysis, beneath his - or should we say it's - perfect exterior lies nothing more than the emotional module's programmed response to external changes.
York had to admit that Yan's teacher had a god-like talent, which allowed him to create such a lifelike mechanical life form that was so exquisite that it was indistinguishable from the real thing.
He didn't want to have another quarrel among his own people at this time, so he stopped Jason who wanted to step forward and said again:
"Kins, we have no ill intentions. Yan is a friend of Dustin and me. We would never hurt her—"
"Mr. Stanson, considering Yan has returned injured, I think you should understand who is the one who will not hurt her."
“…”
The tone of stating facts was as loud as a bell, and the ward became extremely quiet.
York wasn't very good at verbal battles, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute. Until Dustin, who had been silent for a long time, snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"Interesting! So, you consider yourself a human being?"
——Everyone knows what this sentence means.
The air pressure in the ward dropped a few degrees. York looked at Dustin in surprise and pushed the latter's wheelchair before the situation got any worse.
"...Um...Dustin, you've been out for so long, isn't it time to take your medicine? Let's go back and wait until Yan wakes up...Jason, come and help..."
"Yes, sir."
…
When Mu Qingyan woke up again, she did not feel the pain she had imagined, but the dizziness was so strong that she almost mistook the person in front of her for someone else.
Maybe, at such a close distance, the worry in the other person's eyes was too obvious.
In comparison, Kinsley now might not be as worried about her as he is.
Thinking of Kinsley's reaction to her not long ago, Mu Qingyan's heart ached, and she couldn't help but struggle slightly.
"Yan...be obedient and have a good rest. You just took the medicine..."
Familiar words were heard in her ears. Mu Qingyan slowly raised her body. The thin blanket that had been covering her body slipped off with her movements. Only then did she realize her current posture -
She was not lying on the bed, but was held sideways in Kins' arms as he sat against the head of the bed. One shoulder was resting on Kins' chest, and the other shoulder was well-applied with medicine. The bleeding had completely stopped.
It must be because of her injury.
Kins has always been so careful about everything. In recent years, she has made up for many small crises caused by her laziness and ignorance. Has she really become too accustomed to it to the point of neglect?
As soon as his condition stabilized a little, he rushed to Shen's house, causing his old injury to flare up. He fainted shortly after getting in the car.
Until now, I haven't had a good chat with Kins.
Obviously, because of this accident, she and he haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Yan...Yan? Why aren't you talking? Are you really awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
The simulated voice, tinged with anxiety, became clearer and clearer. A slightly cool hand touched her cheek, gently lifting her up. When Mu Qingyan came to her senses, the distance between them was so close that they could no longer move closer.
Apparently, her long contemplation caught the attention of another person.
But to be honest, even a long time ago, when she was more seriously injured and weaker, the two of them had never been so close.
That face, which was exactly the same as Kinsley's, made her suddenly feel a little embarrassed, and she could only dodge back inconspicuously.
"...I'm fine...Kins, you must have had a hard time while I was away..."
"As long as you are okay, everything is worth it..."
The arm around her back was removed, and she was carefully supported against the pillow. Kins stood up and sat on the chair next to the bed, still with a soothing smile.
Mu Qingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject.
"Is Dustin okay? I've got him hurt this time. If I hadn't insisted on going to the rescue community to investigate, he wouldn't have been accidentally injured..."
"Mr. Stanson came over just now and just told you to get some rest, Yan..." Kins held the cup of water and fed it to you spoonful by spoonful. "During the time you were unconscious, a lot of people came to Infinity headquarters. I think they can handle it. Besides, your injuries are obviously more serious, so stop blaming yourself, okay?"
The defensive intention in his words was obvious. Mu Qingyan smiled and said, "Anyway, Dustin did help me a lot this time. Dealing with BI is not an easy task. It is not my intention to let Infinity pay the price. That explosion York mentioned... Fortunately, he arranged it in advance, so no one was hurt..."
The hand that was feeding the water paused slightly.
The movement was so subtle that no one noticed.
Kins put the cup back and pulled the corner of the quilt: "Can you sleep a little longer? We haven't been back to the lab for a long time. Yan, you must be missing home, right? So, get well soon, okay?"
Mu Qingyan could no longer refute.
——She hadn't heard the word "home" for a long time, and she really missed everything in the laboratory.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.
