When Xia An 'an woke up again, the smell of disinfectant wafted into her nose. She slowly opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. One of her hands was in a cast while the other was on an IV drip.
Where was this?
At this moment, a nurse pushed open the door and opened Xia An 'an's eyes. She immediately smiled and said, "Miss Xia, you're finally awake."
Xia An 'an looked at the nurse in confusion and asked, "May I ask … why am I here?"
The nurse came over to check on Xia An 'an's physical condition and said, "It was President Si who brought you here. You really scared us at that time. How could a girl suffer such a serious injury?"
"Si Lijue?"
Xia An 'an was shocked. Before she fainted, she vaguely felt that someone had come. So it was really Si Lijue who had come to save her.
"Yes, when CEO Si carried you here, we were shocked. I didn't expect him to be so different from how he was on TV. He's so kind, hahaha …"
At that time, they were really frightened. Si Lijue was carrying a woman whose face was covered in blood in his arms. He was as cold as ice and ordered them to treat her. Fortunately, Xia Anan only suffered superficial injuries and was not seriously injured. She would be fine after a few days of rest.
When Xia An heard that it was Si Lijue who carried her here, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Miss Xia, rest well. Call me if you need anything."
The nurse changed Xia An 'an's IV drip and left.
Xia An 'an lay flat on the bed and recalled the scene from before with lingering fear. If Si Lijue hadn't arrived in time, she would have drowned in the sea.
Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine, but Xia An 'an was very sleepy. She only woke up for a while before feeling groggy again. Not long after, she wanted to sleep again.
It was around eight or nine in the evening.
Si Lijue came over.
Seeing Xia An's sleeping appearance, he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. Xiang Nian walked in and said, "CEO Si, we've caught Hao Youyou and Jiang Liufang."
Jiang Liufang was the name of the head maid.
When the two of them received news of Si Lijue's wrath, they ran away in the middle of the night. Who knew that they would still be caught.
When Si Lijue heard this, he replied nonchalantly, "If Xia An 'an's hand is broken, I'll break their hand too. If she hurts her head, I'll smash their heads. Don't they like fishing boats? After that, throw them onto the fishing boats and let them fend for themselves. "
"Yes."
Then, he thought of something and said, "By the way, CEO Si, Miss He is very sorry about what happened this time. She said that she wants to come and see Miss Xia. She's already waiting at the entrance of the hospital."
"No."
Si Lijue said coldly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Although this matter was not directly related to He Nianchu, Si Lijue felt that He Nianchu was definitely involved.
"But …" Xiang Nian hesitated. "Miss He said that she won't leave until she sees him."
"Then let her wait."
Si Lijue said coldly.
Now that the weather was freezing, a rich missy like her wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Seeing how cold-hearted Si Lijue was, Xiang Nian couldn't help but sigh. Then, he replied, "Understood. I'll explain it to Miss He now."
The door slowly closed. Si Lijue looked at Xia Anan and realized that she wasn't sleeping very well. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had fallen into a terrifying nightmare. Her hands were also unconsciously grabbing around, tugging at the IV needle. Si Lijue was afraid that she would struggle too much and break the needle, so he reached out and held it.
Her hand.
As expected, Xia An 'an was much calmer.
In her sleep, Xia An 'an saw a group of people chasing after her. In the end, they forced her to the edge of a cliff.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, she jumped into the sea.
The cold water instantly swallowed her. When she fell into the sea, she hit a sharp rock and the back of her head was hit hard. The smell of blood spread in the water. In the turbulent current, a piece of metal smashed into her, leaving a deep wound on her face.
Her body sank deeper and deeper. Gradually, her consciousness was stripped away and she fell into a deep sleep.
So cold.
So uncomfortable.
Her body felt like it was being squashed. The air in her lungs was being squeezed out. She took in big gulps of air, but the air she was breathing became less and less. She couldn't help but struggle. Suddenly, a hand reached out to her. Xia An 'an looked as if she had seen a life-saving straw and grabbed that hand.
Gradually, she calmed down.
Si Lijue calmed Xia An 'an down but didn't let go of her hand immediately. He only heaved a sigh of relief when Xia An' an fell into a deep sleep once again.
After covering her with a blanket, he got up and left.
"CEO Si."
Outside the ward, there were two bodyguards in black.
Si Lijue said lightly, "Watch her. Other than the doctors and nurses, don't let anyone disturb her rest."
"Yes."
Si Lijue still had a meeting tomorrow. Just as he was about to go home, he saw a thin figure standing at the entrance of the hospital. It was late at night and the other party was wearing thin clothes. She was shivering in the cold wind.
If this person wasn't He Nianchu, who else could it be?
Xiang Nian was surprised to see He Nianchu.
It had been three hours since he reported to Si Lijue. Had she been waiting here all this time?
Si Lijue also frowned. He seemed surprised by He Nianchu's behavior.
Xiang Nian hurried over and asked in surprise, "Miss He, why are you still here?"
He Nianchu heard the sound and turned around. Her body was stiff from the cold, and her small face was pale. She was trembling uncontrollably, but she still forced a smile and said, "I've said it before. I won't leave until I see An 'an."
Xiang Nian didn't expect He Nianchu to be so persistent. She didn't see Xia An 'an and was planning to wait here all night.
He looked at Si Lijue, not knowing what to do.
Si Lijue saw that He Nianchu's hands were turning purple from the cold. He frowned even more and said, "She's already asleep. The doctor said it's best not to disturb her rest."
"Is that so?"
He Nianchu was disappointed to hear this.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. If I didn't misunderstand, An An wouldn't have to suffer like this. Will An An be angry with me?"
Si Lijue looked away and said lightly, "Only she knows about this."
He Nianchu said in a low voice, "An An's matter, I will take full responsibility. When the time comes, no matter if she hits me or scolds me, I won't fight back."
"Why?"
Si Lijue smiled coldly. "You're the eldest daughter of Family He. There's no need to lower your head for a servant like Xia An 'an."
He Nianchu complained a little, "Are you mocking me?" She pursed her lips and said, "To be honest, when I found out that the shawl was for An An, I was indeed a little jealous. Because I really like that shawl. But I really didn't expect Hao Youyou and the head maid to do such a thing. I tried to persuade them, but they insisted on doing it.
Of course, I'm not trying to push the blame away. If I had been more persistent, perhaps this incident could have been avoided. In the end, it's still my fault. "
He Nianchu's words were very sincere. No one could find fault with them.
Si Lijue understood He Nianchu's behavior. His gaze softened and he said, "Go back first tonight. She's asleep. Don't disturb her."
He Nianchu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll come tomorrow. Is that okay?"
She looked at Si Lijue expectantly.
Si Lijue thought for a moment and said, "Go ask tomorrow. If she's willing to see you, then go see her."
He Nianchu was overjoyed to hear this. "Ah Jue, thank you."
In the car.
Si Lijue was flipping through a magazine in boredom. He Nianchu sat opposite him. She thought for a long time before asking, "Ah Jue, do you like An An? Is it the love between lovers? "
He Nianchu thought that Si Lijue would at least hesitate.
