Chapter 920 - The Last Moments (2/2)
Once Shangguan Wan was done with the medicine, her mind turned dizzy and heavy again, and she fell asleep very quickly once more.
Ye Yanfeng had already gotten the doctor to check Shangguan Wan. She had a small concussion on her head, while the gun injury on her calf had worsened from the ordeal.
The only way for her to heal properly was for her to rest, so she wouldn’t agitate her condition. It was a good thing that she would be able to leave this place soon.
After she fell asleep, Ye Yanfeng brought a bowl of cold water over from the bathroom. He wet a towel with the cold water before placing it on her scorching forehead.
He pulled a chair over to sit by the bed. After a while, he would change the towel on her forehead.
As he sat there, his thoughts trailed to the memory of two hours ago, when his father called him to his room…
He touched his head, a deprecating smile appearing on his lips.
…
When Shangguan Wan woke up again, the skies were starting to lighten.
Pain was all she felt. She felt sore and tired all over, her bones feeling like they could fall apart anytime.
It was so unbearable.
She turned slightly, looking up to see the man sitting on the chair.
After coming to this G.o.dforsaken place, it was Shangguan Wan’s first time seeing him in the morning.
He was sitting on the chair, his long legs crossed elegantly as he leaned slightly towards the back. His eyes were closed. It seemed he had fallen asleep.
Even if he was sitting, he still remained as poised and elegant as usual.
The sleeping him did not seem as devilish and dangerous as he seemed when he was awake. He looked a little like a grown boy, with an unguarded elegance.
However, there were deep creases between his eyebrows. He seemed extremely troubled even after he had fallen asleep.
He had joined the SSS group. Even though he was the Prince’s son, he probably had to give more in order to get the others’ recognition!
Staring at him sleeping, Shangguan Wan really could not relate him with the devilish image he had. However, with all that he had done, what else could he be apart from being a devil?
Within a few days, Shangguan Wan felt like she had lived through an eternity. She wished so much that all of these were only a dream.
When she woke up from the dream, Bo Yan and the rest would still be alive while Ye Yanfeng hadn’t turned into this stranger she no longer knew!
She did not know how long she had stared at him for, but suddenly, he opened his eyes. As he had just woken up, sleepiness was still present in his eyes and Shangguan Wan hurriedly closed hers.
Ye Yanfeng stood up, his first reaction was to touch Shangguan Wan’s forehead.
Although it still felt a little hot, it was a lot lower than last night already.
Ye Yanfeng went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he was done, he stood by the bed and stared at Shangguan Wan, who had her eyes shut tight. He said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I know that you’re awake. I’m not interested in doing anything to you with how tattered you looked. I’m going out later, so take your medicine by yourself.”
Shangguan Wan opened her eyes and met his.
His eyes were clearly red, and there was a tiredness that couldn’t be hidden.
Confusion appeared on her face when she heard what he said. Did he sit on the chair for the entire night just to take care of her?
…
Ye Yanfeng went out early and came back late for two consecutive days.
After two days, Shangguan Wan’s fever had finally gone down.
Ye Yanfeng would only return after she fell asleep every night, and when she woke up, he was gone already. Although they were staying in the same room, they were as good as strangers.
This morning when Shangguan Wan woke up, she thought that she wouldn’t be able to see Ye Yanfeng, just like the last two days.
However, when she opened her eyes, he was standing beside her.
“Awake?” His gaze on her was very very deep, so deep it felt like he was carving her onto his heart. Staring into his eyes, Shangguan Wan did not know why, but her heart skipped a beat.
An ominous feeling grew in her heart.
