Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1124 Heather of the Other Shore Flower Sea (148)

Yi Yang looked at her several times, seeing that she hadn’t heard his words, he repeated, "Really, don’t worry, Miss Hai, and don’t blame yourself. This really has nothing to do with you. Who would’ve thought someone would have the guts to try something shady in broad daylight, right? It’s only because you weren’t on guard that this happened."

"I’m sorry..." Heather finally spoke, her tone filled with remorse, "I’m sorry, Yi Yang..."

"Miss Hai! Although Mr. Nian hasn’t regained consciousness yet, I can absolutely assure you on his behalf: It’s okay! Mr. Nian isn’t the type to fuss over small things; he won’t take this to heart. So you don’t have to worry, all right? Didn’t the doctor just say it earlier? Based on initial observation, it’s not deep—it won’t injure any internal organs."

"No, I’m reflecting on myself," she said, pounding her hand on her head. "Today’s incident could’ve been avoided entirely. Nian Shen didn’t need to get hurt. It’s my fault! I had already noticed those men. I knew they intended to harm him, but I didn’t stop them immediately."

"Uh..."

Yi Yang didn’t say a word for a long while. Heather looked at him in surprise, "Aren’t you going to ask me why I didn’t stop them?"

"Well... you must’ve had your reasons," Yi Yang said with a slight smile. "Regardless, when I saw you risk everything to block the knife for Mr. Nian just now, I knew that no matter what, Miss Hai wouldn’t hurt him. That’s all that matters. I believe Mr. Nian thinks the same, so you absolutely don’t have to worry about him misunderstanding you."

At this moment, she wasn’t thinking about whether Nian Shen would misunderstand her. Even if he blamed her outright, she wouldn’t refute a single word.

The surgical light went out, and the doctor came out, removed his mask, and said without suspense, "Don’t worry, the injury isn’t serious; the patient can be transferred to a general ward now."

"Thank you, doctor!"

...

In the hospital room, only Heather and the awakened Nian Shen remained.

Due to the loss of significant blood, his complexion appeared a little pale. Otherwise, he was fine.

Heather stood at his bedside, her head lowered in guilt.

"What’s with that expression?" Nian Shen glanced at her and asked, "Are you unhappy that I woke up?"

"No..."

Heather hesitated for a moment, then bent her knees slightly.

"Wait—" Nian Shen stopped her, "I’m not royalty; why are you kneeling to me?"

Her half-bent knees froze mid-motion as she spoke with profound guilt, "I feel deeply sorry. I don’t know how else to apologize to you."

"That’s unnecessary. It’s just that I’m injured now and might be inconvenienced in my movements. In the days ahead, I’d like to trouble you to take care of me, just as I once took care of you. Would that be alright?"

"Of course!" Heather nodded firmly. "Whatever you need, just tell me."

Not to mention the care he had given her during that time—even without it, she wouldn’t hesitate to help.

"That’s great, then," Nian Shen smiled slightly. "I’m feeling a bit hungry now. Could you get me something nice to eat?"

"Sure!"

Shortly afterward, Yi Yang came in and closed the door. With a slight laugh, he said, "Miss Hai called a few security guards up while heading downstairs. They’re standing outside the door right now. Once bitten by a snake, frightened of ropes for ten years."

After pausing briefly, Yi Yang added, "You know, you could’ve dodged. Why did you take that knife for no reason? Miss Hai was beside herself with worry just now—both anxious and full of guilt. She deliberately stayed out of sight, and when she saw you get hurt for her, she almost had the urge to... well, she was distraught beyond words."

Nian Shen didn’t respond. He merely smiled enigmatically, saying, "You’ll find out soon enough why."
