Chapter 1380: The Story of Ling and Heng (643)
However, after receiving the cup, he did not drink it, nor did he do anything else. He just sat there with the cup of water and did not “look” at her. Instead, he slowly opened his mouth. “You went to Israel intending never to return?”
Sure enough, he heard.
Feng Ling did not answer. She reached out to push his hand away: “Drink some water.”
He did not move. He held the cup and said, “If you couldn’t find me, what would you have done?”
Feng Ling was quiet for a moment. “But I found you.”
“If you couldn’t have?” Li Nanheng’s tone was mild. Perhaps because his body was too weak, he couldn’t be too forceful. However, even though his words were soft, they were powerful and impossible to ignore in the quiet ward. “Come, let’s answer a hypothetical question. If you couldn’t find me after so long, what would you have done?”
“…”
“You wouldn’t have gone back to America? Were you going to keep looking? Even though you know how chaotic that place is and that there are wars everywhere and that a bomb could hit you from the sky at any time, you still would have looked for me with the thought that you won’t be able to return?” When the man said this, he directly placed the cup of water on the blanket covering his legs. He supported it with his weak hands and did not drink it.
Feng Ling didn’t want to answer this hypothesis, but she saw that he didn’t seem to want to ignore it.
Israel was not a simple country since there were wars everywhere. It was a country where you could lose your life at any time.
“If I couldn’t find you, I’ll keep looking,” Feng Ling said sincerely. “I can search every inch of Jerusalem. I even dare to venture into the ancient jungle. If I couldn’t find you in a year, I’d have searched for you for two years. If I couldn’t find you in two years, I’d have searched for you for ten years. In short, the light in my life began from the moment someone entered my world. I’ll always look for that light. I won’t give up even if I have to search for my entire life.”
After speaking, she looked at Li Nanheng and instinctively felt that she had never said such bittersweet words to him. She didn’t know how he would react.
Would he be very touched?
And then regretted avoiding her in Israel a few days ago?
Or perhaps, he would say that she was stubborn and shouldn’t have such a stubborn idea and live well.
In short, she had already thought of what to do next.
In the end, Li Nanheng slowly picked up the gla.s.s of water, took a sip of the slightly cold water, and put it down. He said very calmly, “Originally, the doctor said that after I was discharged, I should go home to rest well. The Li family has already planned to send a car to pick me up in a few days. They’ll send eight to ten people to guard my bed. I’ll be enjoying the treatment of stretching my hands and eating.”
Feng Ling: “?”
Why did he suddenly change the topic?
Li Nanheng continued indifferently: “Seeing that you’re so devoted to me and can’t control your excitement, I’ve decided not to return to the Li family. I’ll be merciful and go to your place to recuperate. I’ll let you enjoy the treatment of having me alone.”
Feng Ling: “…?”
“Didn’t you have an apartment in Los Angeles? Get someone to tidy it up and add some living things. We can move in right away. The s.p.a.ce in the condo isn’t small. I won’t mind staying there. Let’s go there.”
Feng Ling slowly came back to herself from Li Nanheng’s strange thoughts: “You’re talking about the condo you bought for me? Isn’t your condo in my condo? What’s the difference between this and your own home?”
“There’s indeed no difference. What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.” The man took another sip of water. Then, as though this matter had been decided, he no longer brought it up. Instead, he handed her the cup: “It’s cold. Help me change it to a warm one.”
Feng Ling thought she had misheard him. Wasn’t he supposed to be very touched? The result of being honest was for her to bear all the responsibility of taking care of him while he was recuperating?
It meant that she didn’t have to consider returning to the Feng Corporation for the time being. She definitely wouldn’t have the time to go back, nor did she have to consider the base or anyone else’s matters. She just had to focus on staying at home to accompany him to recuperate. He was recovering, and she was on leave?
Feng Ling did not move for a long time. Li Nanheng’s brows moved: “Earlier, you said you would live for eight to ten years. Now you’re not even willing to pour another gla.s.s of water?”
Feng Ling silently approached to receive the cup and glanced at Li Nanheng.
Alright, a leopard never changes its spots.
The man who had been injured to this extent and needed a year to recover was still Li Nanheng, even if he couldn’t see.
The main point was that he had clearly learned a new ability. He was able to bring out his shamelessness to its fullest extent, and it was not especially strange.
After pouring another gla.s.s of warm water, Feng Ling stuffed the gla.s.s into his hand. She watched as he took the gla.s.s and his Adam’s apple move as he drank the water. Her mind suddenly recalled the night at Mr. Mike’s resort in Was.h.i.+ngton. When she woke up in the second half of the night, she had bitten his throat.
This position seemed especially sensitive.
For some reason, she suddenly noticed his Adam’s apple. Perhaps because he had lost too much weight, his originally attractive Adam’s apple was more obvious than before.
Feng Ling s.h.i.+fted her gaze away and did not notice that her ears were slightly red.
…
Even if Li Nanheng were very cooperative with the treatment, his eyes would still take time to recover, including his physical condition. Although he was alive, his internal organs were still internal injuries. In ancient times, internal injuries were difficult to treat. It was not something that could be healed in a day or two. Everything depended on recovery.
Li Nanheng had received high-quality treatment in the hospital for more than a month and could finally be discharged. The Li family send a car over, but they only sent various daily necessities on behalf of Elder Li.
She didn’t know how Li Nanheng communicated with the Li family’s elders, but they actually agreed to let him stay alone at Feng Ling’s place. They gave Feng Ling the full responsibility of taking care of him. Although she could cook, she wouldn’t cook more than three dishes.
Ah Feng also felt that this was unbelievable. Didn’t the four elders think that only by letting Boss return to the Li family could he receive better care? After all, Boss sometimes even needed someone to help him to the toilet.
However, on the phone, Old Master Li’s reply to Ah Feng was: “It’s fine. As long as he doesn’t starve to death.”
Ah Feng:”…” He put down the phone and silently watched as the lucky Li Nanheng got into Feng Ling’s car.
