As if she had lost all of her memories, Nian Xiaomu stared blankly at the familiar-looking face in front of her for a few seconds.
Her gaze instantly turned panicky when she returned to her senses.
“Yu Yuehan, save Bengbeng, she is in danger…” Nian Xiaomu supported her body with her hands and anxiously tried to sit up on the bed.
“Alright alright, Tan Bengbeng was saved and she is in the ward right beside you. But firstly, you need to tell me if you’re feeling unwell anywhere.”
Yu Yuehan drew her into his embrace to stop her from moving about lest she tore her wound.
Nian Xiaomu only heaved a sigh of relief after she had confirmed that Tan Bengbeng was saved.
Just as she relaxed her body, she suddenly realized that her shoulder hurt so much that she could not lift it up.
Was her left hand crippled?
A trace of astonishment flashed across Nian Xiaomu’s eyes as she looked up at him.
Yu Yuehan’s eyes darkened and he grabbed the back of her head with his hand.
He said with a slightly angry tone, “Are you only afraid now? Even though the dagger wasn’t inserted deeply into your body, your wounds are not at all minor. It might take quite some time for your left hand to recover, and you will only know if your injuries would have any impact on your daily life after the wound has healed fully.”
Yu Yuehan hugged her just as he would hug treasure which he had previously lost but was finally recovered.
The images of her and Tan Bengbeng huddling together with their entire bodies soaked in blood flashed past her mind.
His heart wrenched in pain.
He wanted to ask her this very badly. Had she ever thought of him and Xiao Liuliu when she rushed out bravely to shield Tan Bengbeng from the blade?
In the end, however, Yu Yuehan only hugged her silently and did not ask her about it.
Some things were done without knowing the ending, or whether it was the right decision.
However, if they were not done, one would regret it for life.
Tan Bengbeng could rush into the factory without hesitation to look for her because of a single text message, so he believed that she had also listened to her instinct and shielded Tan Bengbeng from the blade.
“I’m sorry…”
Yu Yuehan did not say anything else. On the other hand, Nian Xiaomu seemed to have sensed his downcast emotions as she pulled his shirt and apologized obediently.
When she was saving Tan Bengbeng, she had not hesitated at all.
She would not regret her actions now.
However, she knew that she had really scared him.
“Bengbeng grew up with me since we were young, and whatever she did was all for my sake, so I couldn’t simply watch as something bad happened to her. It is my fault for causing you worries, but if the dagger had been inserted into Bengbeng’s heart instead of my shoulder…”
Noticing that he did not say a single word, Nian Xiaomu tugged on his shirt with her right hand.
She tilted her head and explained softly.
“…”
Yu Yuehan’s gaze darkened and he sighed resignedly.
He hugged her tightly and said, “I am not angry.”
“Really?” Elated, Nian Xiaomu peeked out from his embrace and stared at him all over to make sure that he wasn’t lying.
Yu Yuehan frowned and said, “Of course. Sit down and don’t move about!”
With bright eyes, Nian Xiaomu said, “Since you are not angry, let’s visit Bengbeng now! She bled so much, her injuries must be worse than mine. I have to visit her, otherwise, I won’t be able to fall asleep even if I am lying down…”
Nian Xiaomu seemed to have turned into a parrot as she lay in Yu Yuehan’s embrace and talked nonstop.
Unable to argue with her, Yu Yuehan reached out and covered her mouth.
He got off the bed and helped her to put on her shoes before they headed over to the ward next door.
Just as Nian Xiaomu approached the ward and was about to knock on the door, Yu Yuehan suddenly grabbed her hand.
His eyes flickered and he hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he still decided to let her know so that she would be prepared mentally.
“The injuries that Tan Bengbeng sustained were not severe and they were all superficial wounds. However… she lost her child.”
