Chapter 25: Does He Know Her Love?
"Han Shao, as you can see, Miss Leng is still unconscious and showing signs of pneumonia with a high fever. This... " Dr. Shao trailed off, also surprised that Han Shao was standing here miraculously.
"Speak!" Ling's cold voice spat out a single word, his displeasure evident.
"If this high fever cannot be brought down within three hours, Miss Leng's leg wound may become inflamed and possibly fester, not to mention the possibility of damaging her tendons and bones, which will have a profound impact on her future."
Ling Han's eyebrows furrowed so tightly they could crush a mosquito, "Alright, got it, go down now." He waved his hand somewhat impatiently.
She walked into the ward with a moderate pace, and the woman was lying on the bed. Her usual pale face with a hint of redness had turned deep crimson, her lips were slightly pursed, matching the struggling nose that breathed in and out, looking utterly ill.
Ling Han rubbed his brow, sat down beside her, and suddenly his eyes fixed on something. He saw a set of men's clothes placed beside her - a white short-sleeved shirt and shorts!
Something flashed through his mind and his anger surged up suddenly.
Ling Han's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Leng Qing on the bed, a dangerous aura swirling around him.
Damn woman!
Really like being flirted with
!
Isn't his demanding attitude enough?!
As soon as she left him, she found another man and indulged in revelry!
Ling Han gazed at Leng Xi, who was struggling to breathe, his teeth clenched in hatred, the deep and profound eyes burning with a fire that seemed to want to incinerate her into ashes!
He'd like to see just how far this woman can go!
She lifted her quilt, and her slender body in the loose hospital gown was still so small. Sensing the sudden coolness, Leng Xi instinctively shrunk her body.
The next second, in the midst of her daze, she felt a hand with plump fingers that were warm yet icy cold, probing and lingering on the soft spot on her chest. In a dream-like haze, her sensitive hands instinctively covered her chest, only to find themselves embracing Ling Han's hand that had slipped inside.
It was fine, except for the traces he left behind, there were no extra marks. After exploring a bit, Ling Han's eyebrows relaxed a lot. When he wanted to take back his hand, that woman hugged it so tightly that he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He simply stretched out his other hand, opened her wide hospital pants, and checked towards that black forest.
The icy temperature of the fingers, soft and lingering in the dark recesses of the cold creek, a tingling sensation suddenly spread throughout her body, she was very sensitive, her body shrunk into a small shrimp shape.
Oh no! Ling Han's hand was suddenly grasped by her! What a troublesome and sensitive woman!
His hand was held by her and pressed against her body, making Ling Han feel even more embarrassed.
It's okay, after checking, there is no other man's aura on her body except for the marks he left.
After feeling a chill run down his spine, he finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief, only to be annoyed by his own emotions again.
What is he doing? Why bother so much about this woman's body, this woman is just his revenge tool, he doesn't need to care about her, and when necessary, he can even use her body to achieve his goal!
The cold grave could not help but feel a little annoyed at her own behavior, and with some discomfort, she pulled out her hands, frowned, and patted her flushed face.
Leng Xi let out an uncomfortable hum, and in his daze, he opened his eyes to find the face before him blurry, but with a familiar feeling.
Is it the man who saved her? No, the face in front of her has a refreshing short hair.
Brrr! Cold! Leng Qing's head tightened instantly, and he was wide awake at once.
"How did you end up here?" She propped herself up to sit, and upon seeing him, she felt a mix of emotions like a wronged child seeing a family member - a sense of grievance, sourness, and the fear from just now seemed to have found an outlet to pour out to.
But as his head cleared, the humiliation he had inflicted on her after taking her returned with it.
Defiance and anger spread through her mind like a sea.
"Not me, who do you hope is here?" Ling Han's eyebrows slightly raised, his thin lips opened, with a hint of displeasure.
"It's definitely not you!" Leng Xi pouted, turning her head away and refusing to look at him.
Ling Han smiled lightly and said, "Get up, I'll take you away."
"I don't want to waste time with her," Ling Han said in a commanding tone.
"Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you? I'm not going!" Leng Xi's small mouth pouted, stubbornly lying down and ignoring him.
The ignorant woman didn't know her place, and Ling Han gritted his teeth. "Don't forget, you're still my slave, you have no right to refuse!" Ling Han reached out and grabbed her.
When she touched his arm, Leng Xue's temper became even more stubborn. She kicked and struggled like a small wild beast, "Let me go! I've already paid my debt, I'm not your slave anymore! I won't leave, I don't want to follow you!" Ah, yes, when he took her without any regard and then ruthlessly kicked her away, they were even.
Leng Xi was making a ruckus in his arms, almost making him float with anxiety. "Quiet! Don't forget, your contract is still with me. If you want to let your stepmother go to jail for selling her daughter, try making another scene!" Ling Han threatened, but if he didn't plan on taking her to his well-oxygenated greenhouse to recover and prevent her from getting a fever again, he wouldn't bother with her nonsense!
Aunt Mei! Is he going to send Aunt Mei to prison?
No! Although Aunt Mei was mean to her, she was still the one who raised her up after all. She couldn't let her get hurt because of her.
Ling Han's trick was quite effective, and Leng Xi indeed calmed down, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out. The grievances in her heart turned into tears as she bit his arm fiercely.
The sharp-toothed little woman scrunched up her face, enduring the pain of being bitten to the point of bleeding, and still didn't loosen her grip on his hand.
"You don't know anything! You don't know anything!" She loosened her grip on him, and with a fit of rage, she pounded his chest, tears streaming down, venting her grievances and pain.
Yes, he doesn't know anything.
Because of him, she almost got taken advantage of by someone else. Does he know?
At that moment, how helpless and at a loss she was, he could know?
When she was about to lose consciousness due to fever, he still appeared in her dreams. Did he know?
If she hadn't fallen in love with him, she wouldn't have suffered so much, did he know that her love for him?
He took a deep breath, exhaling his frustration and anger, and then suddenly wrapped his long and powerful arms around her hands and feet, not giving her another chance to be capricious, and strode outwards with large steps.
"Drip...drip..."
Ling Han's car had just arrived near his own villa when a horn sounded from the front, and he realized it was someone familiar, so Ling Han slowed down.
Only to see the car in front slowing down, the car stopped as it passed by, and Bai Yicheng stuck his head out with a smile that was more joyful than usual. "Han Shao, you're not very considerate, are you? You didn't return my favor after I let you off once. I don't like this kind of courtesy, besides, where is Han Dashi going? Could it be to pick up a beauty?" Bai Yicheng teased, intentionally stretching his head to glance at the back seat, and indeed saw a woman sleeping in the back seat, her back facing him, making it impossible for him to see her face. The smile on Bai Yicheng's face grew even thicker.
"Hey, Brother Bai, didn't Du Shaohui treat you well? Looks like he's getting bolder and more reckless." Ling Han smiled lightly, not directly answering his question.
