“It’s alright.”

Huo Jinyan’s gaze fell on her furrowed brows.

It was probably because the wound was too painful that she subconsciously frowned.

Huo Jinyan looked at her exposed calves, then bent over slightly to pull the blanket over her.

“You sit over there.’

Gu Chen pointed at the other bed.

Huo Jinyan walked over and sat down. Gu Chen brought over some medicine and new gauze to change his dressing.

Huo Jinyan glanced at his arm, then his gaze fell on Lu Ning on the other side.

He could not even see her face, but he was still fascinated by the back of her head.

Partway through, Gu Chen looked up at him and noticed where his eyes were; his lips curved into a slight grin as he looked away.

After he was done, they heard some sounds outside, so Gu Chen took his things and went out.

As he lifted the curtain and looked up, he spotted Li Nian looking for someone.

Gu Chen was surprised for a moment before he returned to normal. “You’re here.’

Li Nian nodded, walked over and took a seat at Gu Chen’s desk.

“Dr. Gu, about the physical examination you mentioned last time…”

After Gu Chen sat down, he looked up at her. “Have you made a decision?” Li Nian nodded. Her voice was very soft and she sounded very calm. “l want to know my exact physical condition.”

Gu Chen looked at her. “How long have you been staying up?”

These words came out of nowhere. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not understand, but Li Nian knew what he meant.

She only paused for a moment before saying, “Two years.”

“Are you free this weekend?”

Li Nian thought for a moment. “l only have time on Saturday night.”

“Saturday night, then. What time?”

“After eight o’clock.”

“Alright.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen wrote on a blank piece of paper before handing it to Li Nian. “Come and find me at this address.”

Li Nian took a look and nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Gu.”

Gu Chen did not say anything and only looked at her.

After Li Nian stood up, she seemed to realize something and looked at Gu Chen. “Dr. Gu, I might not have money to pay you.”

Gu Chen looked at her. “l don’t need money.”

Li Nian looked at him. “Thank you.”

Gu Chen stood up, looking a little distance. “No need for that. Remember to come on time, I still have patients here.” Li Nian nodded. “Alright, see you, Dr. Gu.”

“Bye. ”

Gu Chen was still in a daze as he watched her walk out and gently close the door.

Gu Chen’s medical knowledge was good. Previously, he had even studied traditional Chinese medicine for a period of time, which emphasized four aspects: observe their appearance, listen to their breathing, ask about their condition, and sense their pulse.

Actually, he could tell that something was wrong the first time he saw Li Nian, but he did not say it explicitly.

Later on, it was by chance that Lu Ning suggested that Li Nian look for him for a checkup.

Perhaps it was also at that time that Li Nian came around to this idea.

Although she had declined previously, she still took the initiative to come this time; she must want to know about her physical condition.

Perhaps she did not want to continue enduring this condition aimlessly…

Huo Jinyan sat at the back, looking at the back of Lu Ning’s head. In the end, he was not quite satisfied, so after Gu Chen left he got up and slowly walked over. He did not go around to the front, but stood by her bed and looked dovvn at her side.

While she was asleep, she was quiet and looked like a defenseless child.

Huo Jinyan reached out and gently stroked her hair, his heart aching.

It must hurt a lot.

As he kept watching her, something suddenly possessed him as he bent over.

And a gentle kiss landed on Lu Ning’s cheek.

It was light as a feather.

Huo Jinyan left in a hurry.

He seemed to sober up in a moment, and let out a deep breath.

He immediately looked around, afraid that someone might have spotted him and thereby ruining Lu Ning’s reputation..
