Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Chapter Two-Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Worthy (2/2)
“So, that’s how that scrape on the outside of her uninjured leg came about? She was crawling and dragging herself across the ground.” Xiang Yang uttered, thinking, ‘That’s incredible.’
Shi Ke nodded. “Yeah, she probably did. There are traces of friction on the ground and… blood.”
It took a while for Xiang Yang to process that before she threatened, “Shi Nian will rot in hell if he were to betray Yun Nan!”
Shi Ke smiled wryly. ‘There’s my wife on one hand and my younger brother on the other. I guess I shouldjustpretend I didn’t hear anything.’
Xiang Yang sighed, “Yun Nan mentioned that when the accident happened, Shi Nian pounced over and used his body to shield her head. I think that’s how his head got injured.”
Chang Yuan also sighed, “Finding love in adversity indeed. I guess their five-year agreement should be voided now.”
Xiang Yang and Shi Ke both glared at him. “So you knew about it and didn’t tell us!”
Chang Yuan quickly turned around and walked away, saying, “I have to go and see if the police have closed the case. If there’s nothing else you need, I’ll be leaving now! ”
Xiang Yang turned around and worriedly asked Shi Ke, “Honey, those people didn’t attack and kidnap Shi Nian because of you, did they? Are you sure your enemies aren’t the ones behind this?”
Shi Ke reached out to ruffle her hair, and there was a hint of heartache in his eyes as he answered, “Relax; this matter really has nothing to do with me. I’m worried, too, so I asked my men to continue digging. My enemies really aren’t behind this.”
Xiang Yang felt relieved and sighed, “Oh, good. If that were the case, I’d feel so guilty for this happening to them.”
He ruffled her hair once more, kissed the top of her head, and promised, “I’ll do my best to protect you all. All of you are my nearest and dearest.”
Xiang Yang patted him and reassured him, “You don’t have to worry about us, darling. You just focus on protecting our country; we’ll protect ourselves.”
Shi Ke put his arms around his wife as they walked toward the ward, eyes filled with guilt as he stared ahead. In the intensive care unit, Yun Nan held Shi Nian’s hand as her tears fell like rain.
“Shi Nian,” she sobbed. “I’m here. Can you hear me? I’ve woken up; I’m fine. Why aren’t you awake yet? I’m waiting for you. I’m waiting for you to wake up and repeat what you said to me before..”
