Chapter 1043: 1043 Red Spider Lily Heather (67)
Nian Shen was helping her change the dressing.
"I knew you wouldn’t go back to the hospital today; the reason is still no money, right?" he said while changing.
"I was planning to go back myself and change it tonight..." Heather looked away, muttering like a child caught doing sothing wrong by an adult.
"You got injured doing dangerous work for , and it’s my responsibility to make sure you’re healed. I’ve said I would handle the dical expenses, so there’s no need for you to worry about it. And don’t play the hero. If I say there’s no need to repay, then there’s no need. Did you rember?"
"...I will repay," she said awkwardly, looking sowhere else. "Umm..."
Suddenly, Nian Shen pressed on her wound, and the pain made her cry out.
In fact, like any injury, she didn’t feel it was very painful when she first got hurt, but it’s like rubbing salt on the wound afterward...
"Does it hurt?" Nian Shen asked.
Heather didn’t respond with her voice but nodded slightly.
"Then be more careful next ti, and don’t think you’re all that because you know a thing or two and are a stunt double, thinking you can take on anyone," Nian Shen lectured without looking at her, continuing to speak, "After all, you’re a woman. What will you do if you encounter so extrely vicious criminal or even a gang?"
He was a bit too close to her.
He was squatting in front of her, very earnestly disinfecting, applying dicine, and bandaging the wound, seeming as if he had learned to do it professionally.
Heather looked at his face, which was very close to hers, and found herself at a loss for words.
Then, she turned to the left and muttered, "You don’t understand . I’m more than a little skilled. And I’m actually very good at what I do."
As she said this, she had no hint of doubt in her mind.
Nian Shen lifted his head, and with one hand, he pinched her chin, turning her face back towards him: "Say that again?"
When she t his gaze, she suddenly felt as if she were facing Li Sinian, with that intimidating presence that commanded respect.
Quickly coming back to her senses and looking steadily into his eyes, she said, "I am indeed very good."
Right after she spoke, a figure flashed in front of her.
The next second, Mr. Nian pushed her towards the sofa; with both hands pressed against it, he enclosed her between the sofa and himself, "Even in situations like this?"
Heather could hear her own heart beating erratically and rapidly, unsure of the reason for the racing heartbeat. But facing Nian Shen before her, she quickly composed herself and said, "Yes. Just a friendly reminder, even with one injured hand, you can’t do anything to , unless—"
"Unless?"
Nian Shen was tall, but even in such a situation, Heather did not feel afraid.
With her capability, even against a man like Nian Shen who was stronger than her, she could take on multiple attackers—if it ca to a swift, deadly exchange, the quicker resolution was hers.
Not to ntion it was just one-on-one now.
What she wanted to say was—unless—
You are really Li Sinian.
In which case, if she ended up in his hands, she would be at his rcy to shape as he wished.
"Nothing."
Heather easily slipped out of his encirclent, turned away from the sofa and pulled down her sleeve, "I’m leaving now, Mr. Nian. I’ll handle the bandaging myself."
She plugged her ears, refusing to listen to any more of his words, and left the place.
Outside the door, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
Heather, whether it’s Li Sinian or Nian Shen, none of it has anything to do with you anymore.
If you have chosen to leave, you must endure this deadly sense of loneliness.
And he will not forgive her.
