Wu Hao's fingers subconsciously tightened around the glass bowl that contained the grapes. He had not yet opened his mouth to lie to her, but he already did not dare to look her in the eye. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid her gaze, which was waiting for an answer.
He did not want to say "yes," nor did he want to say "no." He felt as if he had fallen into an extremely difficult predicament, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not come to a conclusion. It was only when he felt the faint pain from the wound on his shoulder that he suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly. He then loosened his grip on the glass bowl, causing it to slip from his palm and fall to the ground. The grapes scattered and rolled all over the floor.
"I'll clean up first …" Wu Hao used this small interlude to avoid Xu Wennuan's question and quickly turned around to enter the bathroom.
After closing the door, he did not immediately look for a mop. Instead, he moved his shoulder vigorously and reopened the wound that he had applied hemostatic medicine to at home. When he felt that his shoulder blade was completely soaked with blood, he walked to the toilet, grabbed a mop, and walked out of the bathroom.
Wu Hao deliberately used his injured arm to sweep the grapes on the floor. When he gathered all the grapes together, he squatted down and threw them into the trash can. He purposely turned his back to Xu Wennuan, and when he was halfway through, he let out a muffled groan.
Xu Wennuan, who sensed that something was wrong with Wu Hao's voice, turned her head to look at him. When she saw the blood-stained white shirt on Wu Hao's shoulder, her eyes widened slightly. She suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Are you injured?"
When he heard her question, Wu Hao immediately moved his shoulder away from Xu Wennuan's gaze and shook his head at her. "It's nothing serious."
He's bleeding so much, and he's saying it's nothing serious? Xu Wennuan furrowed her brows. Her tone was clearly not as cold and distant as when she had just woken up and asked Wu Hao if he had saved her. "You should get a doctor to take a look at your wound."
"I'll go after I clean up the floor in case someone accidentally steps on it and falls." As Wu Hao spoke, he went back to tidying up the trash on the floor. He knew that when Xu Wennuan discovered his shoulder injury, her attention would definitely be on him, so he paused from time to time as if he was in great pain.
Just as Wu Hao had expected, the room was silent for about half a minute before he heard a rustling sound from the bed behind him. Xu Wennuan had moved. After another ten seconds, Xu Wennuan spoke, not to him, but to the hospital bell. "Bed 68, can I trouble a nurse to come over?"
After ending the call, Xu Wennuan glanced at Wu Hao, who was squatting on the ground, and said, "Get up. You can do it yourself later."
Wu Hao didn't respond. He picked up the last two grapes and threw them into the trash can.
As soon as she got up, the nurse Xu Wennuan called entered the room. "Miss Xu, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's not me …" Xu Wennuan shook her head. She raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Hao. She paused for a moment before she said, "It's him."
The nurse looked at Wu Hao, but before she could ask him what was wrong, she saw the blood on his shoulder. She had been present when Wu Hao had brought Xu Wennuan to the hospital the night before, so she knew that Wu Hao had an injury on his shoulder. She immediately asked, "Mr. Wu, has the wound on your shoulder reopened?"
