Chapter 129 - Mental Breakdown (1/2)
The figure he called was sitting on the bed while leaning his back. He did not look up or spared a glance for him. One of his eye wrapped in bandages. His torso was full of blisters and tearing and ... Ling Huansheng stared fearfully the thin blanket which covering Ling Feng's legs looked out of balance. He looked back at his brother's face. His one fine eye staring blankly.
”He has been like this since he woke up a week ago.”
Unexpectedly the woman in the room spoke. Either to him or to his father.
”At that time, we heard a big bang and gunfire in our western region. When we arrived at the scene, we found several people lying with gunshot wounds and some destroyed by grenades. Within ten people we found, only he that we could save.”
The room fell into silence. ”He ... departed with his team.” Ling Tian's voice sounded far away.
”So why does he look like that?” Ling Huansheng averted his eyes. He was unable to see Ling Feng's current state.
”I'm sorry ... maybe it's also my fault. After the operation, he asked what happened. I tried to explain it as smoothly as possible. However, he fell into shock and when he woke up, he were already like this.”
”He doesn't even respond to me.” Ling Tian wiped his face with his hands and sat down.
”I moved him here so he could calm himself.”
Mr. Tanaka and Liu Chen, who had been trailing behind, quietly withdrew. They were waiting outside, feeling this was not their place to interfere. Ling Huansheng strengthened his heart and sat next to him. He looked back at the woman at the end of the bed.
”Are you a doctor?”
She didn't look like a doctor. His feelings also say this woman was not an ordinary woman. He caught a surprised expression as Mr. Tanaka looked at this woman.
The woman tilted her head slightly. She stared back at Ling Huansheng. ”... and who are you?”
Ling Huansheng held his gaze as if he wanted to see the motives behind her interference here.
”Sorry ... thank you in advance for saving Feng Ge. My name is Ling Huansheng, his younger brother.”
She murmured, oh, then bit her lip as if what she wanted to say next was very difficult. ”It's a relief that his family has found him. They don't have a single thing to identify themselves ...”
Of course the military in charge leaves behind everything that can get others to track them down when they get secret mission. Ling Tian swore at his head.
”... but ... if you intend to bring him home, can you wait for a few days?”
Ling Tian and Ling Huansheng looked at her. She hurriedly added, with red cheeks. ”Oh, I just want to observe him a few days before making sure he's fine.”
Ling Huansheng looked at his father, waiting for his decision before expressing his opinion.
Ling Tian nodded. ”Two days. After that we will take him and care for him in our land.”
”Well ... two days are enough ...”
Two days were enough to make Ling Huansheng realize this woman had special feelings for his brother. How come? Ling Huansheng saw how she treated Ling Feng with affection. She fed him and keep talking to him, even though Ling Feng didn't answer.
