1220 I Want to Make You Stay 98 (1/2)
The path along the corridors from the operating theater to the hospital ward was cleared. Fortunately, the operation ended a while later.
An Xiaoning received some stitches on her head, and there was now a bald spot on the part of her scalp that had been wounded.
”Mr. Jin, Ms. An's surgery was very successful.”
”Thank you, Doctor. Is she alright?”
”The impact was very forceful, and she'll definitely suffer some symptoms of concussion…”
Fan Shixin immediately glared daggers at Henry.
Henry avoided eye contact with him and asked the surgeon, ”Is her condition serious?”
”It's not too serious, but it's not minor either.”
”Administer her with the best medicine.”
”We will.”
Just as the surgeon was about to leave, Fan Shixin stopped him and said, ”I hope you'll keep my Young Madam's condition confidential. Otherwise, Young Sir will start donating to another hospital instead.”
”Rest assured, our lips are sealed. We'll never leak any of the news.”
”Yes.”
An Xiaoning was sent to the ward, her head bandaged.
The nurse handed Henry An Xiaoning's mobile phone.
Fan Shixin and Henry were the only ones in the ward.
”The doctor said that she had suffered a great impact. Did you really just give her a little push?” Fan Shixin questioned.
”I felt exceptionally strong in that moment and I managed to push her away with ease…”
Fan Shixin sneered, ”Young Sir would never speak to Young Madam harshly, let alone get physical with her. Why didn't you just kill her?”
Henry was at a loss for words and thus said, ”I'll stay behind to look after her.”
Fan Shixin said, ”I'm heading to the office now.”
He turned around and left, closing the door after him.
Henry walked toward the bed and took a seat on a chair. He could not help but feel a strange sense of misery at the sight of An Xiaoning, who was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly shut.
He felt as if someone was ripping his heart apart.
I really didn't want to hurt her, I really didn't…
What was with that sudden burst of strength?
Henry sighed and remained seated quietly while waiting for her to wake up.
”Boss, that fellow is calling you again!” Her mobile phone had begun to ring.
Henry whipped out the mobile phone and took a look at the caller display.
It was a call from Wang Jinsheng.
Thinking that it must be something important, he picked up the call and answered, ”Hello.”
Slightly taken aback to hear that a man had picked up, Wang Jinsheng asked, ”Isn't this Ms. An's mobile phone?”
”Yes, is something wrong? She's not free to talk on the phone right now, so I'll relay your message to her.”
”Okay, alright. I'm Wang Jinsheng from the archeological team. Tell her that there's a major discovery at the lakeside, and do also tell her to call me whenever she can.”
”Alright, I'll get her to call you when she's available.”
”Alright.”
After ending the call, Henry placed the mobile phone on the table and prayed to himself that she would come to as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, An Xiaoning came to. Perhaps his prayers had worked, or perhaps it was just time for her to regain her consciousness.
She had a splitting headache.
After scanning her surroundings with her eyes glassed over and taking a whiff of the smell of antiseptic solution, she accurately guessed that she was in the hospital.
”Are you awake?”
Upon hearing his voice, An Xiaoning looked at him quietly.
