Chapter 1125: 1125 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (149)
Nian Shen was injured, and Heather couldn’t evade her responsibility. Thus, she prepared to take care of Nian Shen’s daily needs in the coming days.
She had confird he wasn’t Ah Nian, but she wouldn’t leave him because of that; she would continue being his bodyguard.
Given the number and frequency of attacks he had faced recently, she couldn’t simply ignore him.
"Mr. Nian, could I please ask you to properly think about whether you’ve ever offended soone before? Perhaps so enemies you didn’t take seriously or overlooked, but who might hold a grudge against you?"
In Heather’s eyes, even though Nian Shen had taken a stab wound, he seed far from concerned about it. As for her proximity, he appeared utterly indifferent, shrugging slightly and responding, "Not really sure. Maybe I did at so point. I’ve lived for so many years—how could I possibly rember everything?"
"No, that’s not what I an... I don’t an everything, just... anything particularly significant?"
"I genuinely can’t recall. I tend to speak bluntly without sugarcoating anything. I’ve probably said things so people didn’t like hearing."
"...Alright," Heather gave up asking when no answers ca forth. "But Mr. Nian, once you recover, would you consider learning so self-defense moves with ? I an, you and Yi Yang—having such a big build yet not knowing how to fight—is truly a waste of a good physique."
If she hadn’t agreed to be his bodyguard, would today’s breaking news be about a wealthy tycoon being kidnapped?
"Knowledge changes fate. What’s the use in learning that stuff? If I can’t get a business contract signed, am I going to force them with physical strength? As for my safety, isn’t that your job?"
"..."
That’s true.
"But I can’t protect you forever," she chuckled. "Who knows when I might leave this world?"
Nian Shen’s hand froze briefly before his lips parted: "Then protect
until you can’t anymore. We’ll deal with whatever cos after that later."
Heather paused for a mont, then smiled: "Alright, I’ll protect you until I can’t anymore."
She thought, perhaps she’d die here in Linyang, this moderately-sized city without any of her old friends.
After returning to the country, Heather didn’t go to Xicheng to find Gu Liancheng and Eleven. She hadn’t told them she was still alive.
She ca quietly and left quietly.
In this world, there’s nothing more inevitable than the parting caused by life and death.
...
The news of Nian Shen’s attack spread quickly, and soon many people ca to visit him.
Heather leaned against the doorway, checking everyone one by one before letting them in to see him.
The crew sent several representatives to visit as well.
The director grasped Heather’s hand gratefully and said, "Wei Wei! You saved the entire crew again!"
She understood what the director ant.
Because if anything happened to Nian Shen and the shooting budget was cut off, the project couldn’t continue. Since he was fine, everyone could breathe easy and avoid unnecessary troubles.
The director’s words reminded Heather of another possibility.
Could it be...
Was this attack intended for that exact purpose? Targeting the crew?
"No, this ti it was my oversight that caused Mr. Nian to get hurt. It didn’t have to co to this."
"How can you say that? It’s only because of you that Mr. Nian is okay!"
She smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. Nian Shen had instructed her to keep quiet—no explanations, no spreading the matter further.
