She sniffed, and when she looked up, Pei Fengzhi had already averted his gaze and regained his usual gentleness.
Ye Ningwan leaned closer to Pei Fengzhi with a guilty conscience, met his deep, dark eyes, and said each word as if making a vow.
"I will heal you, I will never let you become crippled!"
Pei Fengzhi shook his head and pressed his good hand against the top of Ye Ningwan's head.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay by my side and keep me company."
This woman was completely different from what he had imagined, but that only fueled his curiosity.
Ye Ningwan knew that no one believed in her. Just as she was about to prove her strength, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Yinglin rushed in with a look of urgency, panting heavily as he spoke to Pei Fengzhi.
