Chapter 1565: Chapter 1565: Deception, Lies within Lies
Qin Youxuan sat by the hospital bed, clutching Dan Hanjie’s large hand tightly.
Afraid that if she let go, he would vanish right before her eyes.
“Does anything hurt? Diwu Zexuan said you have a concussion and severe blood loss. Even though you’re awake, don’t get up. You need to keep resting,” Qin Youxuan anxiously reminded him the moment she saw him open his eyes.
Her delicate little face was pallid, devoid of color.
Her lips were pale, and her crystal-clear feline eyes brimmed with worry.
“…”
Dan Hanjie tried to sit up, but his head grew heavy, and he fell back onto the bed.
Looking at Qin Youxuan’s worried face, his heart tightened sharply.
“Cat…”
“I’m here. I’m watching over you. I won’t go anywhere,” Qin Youxuan immediately replied nervously the moment she heard his voice.
Both her hands gripped his large hand, her fingertips white from the pressure.
“…”
Dan Hanjie’s enchanting eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing Qin Youxuan so fragile made his heart ache.
He wanted to lift his hand to pat her little head, but his arm was too heavy to move.
“The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. It’s normal to feel weak right now, but you’ll be fine soon,” Qin Youxuan explained softly, noticing his intentions.
“The police have already been here. The perpetrators are all dead, and there’s no evidence pointing to who was behind it. What do we do next?”
They both suspected Dan Yi, but there was no evidence at all.
“Are you tired?”
Dan Hanjie’s thin lips moved as he uttered a single sentence.
His gaze lowered slightly, glancing at the space beside him on the bed.
Qin Youxuan froze for a moment before quickly realizing. She obediently climbed into bed and lay beside him.
Her petite frame nestled into his embrace.
She tilted her head up slightly and saw the faint smile forming at the corner of Dan Hanjie’s lips.
He reached out, patting her little head, then tried to shift to the side. However, he realized his right leg had lost all sensation and frowned. “What’s wrong with my leg?”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s body instantly stiffened, her feline eyes clouded with a hint of sadness.
She bit her lip, hesitating for a long time, unable to find the words to say.
She didn’t know how to tell Dan Hanjie that his right leg might never fully recover, that he might end up disabled.
He was such a proud man. How could he possibly endure that…
“Your leg was injured. You can’t move it yet. Once the wound heals and after some rehabilitation, you’ll be able to walk again,” Qin Youxuan murmured, her voice low.
A tactful and evasive explanation.
She avoided looking at his face, afraid he’d catch even the slightest hint of her unease.
“…”
Dan Hanjie simply lowered his gaze to look at her, asking no further questions.
Closing his eyes wearily, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Breathing in the faint, comforting scent on her body, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the hospital room.
“Look at the two of them. This is so sweet; maybe it’s a blessing in disguise after all,” Rui Hui said, leaning against the glass pane of the door, watching the warm scene inside the room with a sigh.
“This is just the beginning. Whether it’s a blessing in disguise or not is still too early to tell.” Diwu Zexuan leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed.
Looking at Rui Hui’s sighing expression, his silver pupils flickered, but his gaze remained indifferent.
“Can’t you stop being so negative? Can’t you see they’ve made up? After this, Xuan probably won’t avoid Hanjie anymore. When husband and wife are united, they can overcome anything. Those scheming people in the background will definitely be wiped out clean!”
Rui Hui reached up to gather her wavy golden hair, tying it casually into a ponytail.
Her delicate features and alluring eyes gave her an irresistibly captivating air.
