Chapter 384: Woke Up
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the discussion, both of them went back to rest. The next morning, Zheng Ziming was better as well. He woke up.
Big hospitals were after all better than smaller ones. The advanced equipment made a big difference.
The moment Zheng Ziming woke up, he was mumbling because of the pain. There was also a fracture in his arm. He had a plaster cast and could not move. Therefore, he could only mumble.
Xia Ning stood by his bed and stared at Zheng Ziming who looked sick. She put her hands around her chest and sneered. “Was it fun to drive?”
Zheng Ziming looked back at Xia Ning and said with a wronged face, “I’m already like this and you’re still putting salt on my wound. Do you have any conscience?”
“Can you make a living using your conscience? If you had a good conscience, you would know I would be worried about you. Would you still make your own decision and drive that problematic car?” Xia Ning looked at Zheng Ziming with a serious face.
Zheng Ziming rolled his eyes, looked at the ceiling and said slowly, “Why don’t I follow what you’re talking about?”
“Of course, you don’t follow. Just keep pretending.” Xia Ning sneered and turned her face to the side.
Zheng Ziming saw Xia Ning not comforting him but instead sounding like she was upset. He pouted and said in a low voice, “Of course, it’s my bad, okay? Don’t be mad.”
Xia Ning turned around and look at Zheng Ziming with a helpless face. “How many times have I told you, you don’t need to test drive cars for me? You see, this time there was a problem. Zheng Ziming, how old are you? Can you think about yourself before you do something?”
“No matter how old I am, I will always protect you!” Zheng Ziming stared at Xia Ning and said with a straight face. “This will never change. Asteria, I don’t think I’m wrong.”
Seeing the determination on Zheng Ziming’s face, Xia Ning frowned and went into silence for a while. She then said, “I know you’re doing this for me but I can take care of this kind of stuff. It’s not like you don’t know I’m very good at driving. When I was still racing, I ran into bigger problems than this and I was still fine.”
She was fine but he had nightmares for days. Her racing was like playing with her life at stake! Zheng Ziming complained silently in his heart.
“But based on your driving skills, even if the brake was not working, it shouldn’t have been a big deal,” Xia Ning said suddenly. It was not like they had never driven this kind of car before.
When these words were out, Zheng Ziming was a bit embarra.s.sed, “That was because I was worried about you, okay? When I realized something was wrong with this car, I was afraid the people behind this would do something to you. I got to a crossing and hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. Therefore…”
Xia Ning: “…” Could you be more stupid?
Zheng Ziming saw Xia Ning’s face looking better and asked, “Are you okay?”
He thought this was not that simple. Tampering with cars can lead to fatal accidents.
“I’m fine but the car I drove also had a malfunctioning brake. Therefore, the people behind this were trying to get to me no matter what,” Xia Ning answered.
Zheng Ziming heard this and got agitated immediately. He wanted to stand up but his body…
“Ah!” It was so painful that he shouted out loud. He ground his teeth and looked at his mummy-like arm. “What the f*ck? Can I still live?” he cursed loudly.
“Well, take a break,” Xia Ning said in a low voice. “Don’t worry. I will take care of this.”
Zheng Ziming knew the best about what Xia Ning was capable of. So he started to feel a little relieved.
“Oh yes, Asteria, this is K City. How did you bring me here? Is anybody else from the crew here as well?”
Just as Xia Ning was ready to speak, the door was opened. A tall figure walked in and turned to Xia Ning. “Breakfast is ready!”
