Capítulo 1330: Chapter 1330: Ding Long Surrenders 13
“He Teng, you’ve gone the whole day without rest. There’s no new information or tasks for now. You should go ho and rest. If anything cos up, Chen Yun will notify you. Go ho and spend so ti with your wife.” Xing Ye saw that He Teng was still sitting in the chair, so he said, “I know you’re afraid to face Zhilan, but she needs your care and company now. You can’t keep avoiding it.”
He Teng responded in a low voice, “Mm.” But he still didn’t move from his seat.
Chen Yun, standing behind him, patted him, “Buddy, don’t push yourself too hard. Get so rest; who knows, there might be an ergency task tomorrow.”
Only then did He Teng stir. He stood up, took a step, and left the police station in big strides, speeding back ho in the car Xing Ye had temporarily assigned to him, to the place where He Zhilan was.
He arrived ho, and although the lights in the living room were on, everyone was asleep. He Dongxue, ever alert, woke up as soon as she heard movent in the living room. Seeing it was her eldest brother, she was slightly surprised, “Brother, you’re back? Sister-in-law has gone to bed.”
“How is she feeling?” He Teng lowered his voice to ask.
“She’s okay, doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.” He Dongxue replied, “I’ll go sleep in the next room; you go keep sister-in-law company. She’ll be very happy to see you in the morning.”
“You rest early, too.” He Teng nodded, tiptoed back to his room, grabbed so clothes, and took a shower. Once he washed away the scent of smoke and sweat, he laid down on the bed and gently moved closer to the woman who was already asleep.
The sound of He Teng entering and leaving the room didn’t wake He Zhilan, but when he lay down, she seed to sense it and opened her eyes, “Is it brother who’s back?”
“Mm, did I disturb you?” He Teng raised his hand to touch He Zhilan’s forehead, “Why are you all sweaty? Did you have a nightmare?”
He Zhilan didn’t respond. Seeing how exhausted He Teng looked, with bloodshot eyes from a long day, she didn’t dare to let him know that she had just had a nightmare, one about their son.
She didn’t want him worrying about her after working so hard on his missions.
“I’m here, close your eyes and rest.” He Teng gently touched He Zhilan’s forehead with his chin; she raised her hand to feel it and muttered, “Brother, your beard has grown again.”
But because her body hadn’t fully recovered, after muttering, He Zhilan yawned, closed her eyes, and snuggled into He Teng’s arms, quickly falling asleep.
He Teng sighed softly. He Zhilan’s body was frailer than most people’s, so even after so long since giving birth, she was still very sleepy.
Yet, it seed that her sleep quality was never good. Occasionally, he could hear her talking in her sleep, but he could never quite make out what she was saying. Watching her frown, drenched in cold sweat, unable to wake her, he desperately wanted to enter her dream and chase away all her nightmares.
His wife, so petite and endearing, has been continuously subjected to various harms. He wanted to protect her, to fulfill his duty as a husband to guard her, but it seed that each ti, he failed to keep his promises.
Thinking back, it might be his involvent in Lan Song’s capture that caused their son to be targeted for revenge after all these years, He Teng was clueless about how to explain to her the increasingly apparent truth.
So, when Bian Xiulin inford him that Ding Jinshi said he’d never seen a child with Lan Song’s parents, he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or worried at that mont.
