The next time Lin Gantang regained consciousness, she smelled disinfectant in the air. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in the hospital with a needle in the back of her hand.

She turned her head and saw Wen Yanqing beside the bed. His body was slightly curled up and his eyes were fatigued. He sat quietly as if he was in a daze.

Lin Gantang reached out and stroked his hair.

Wen Yanqing shifted his gaze and saw Lin Gantang staring at him.

“You’re awake?” He immediately went forward with concern, his voice hoarse.

Lin Gantang stroked his chin; it felt ticklish. “How long have you not rested? Your beard is growing.”

“I’m fine.” Wen Yanqing held her hand carefully. “Does any part of your body feel discomfort? Does it hurt?”

Lin Gantang looked at her arm that had been treated with medicine. Her waist was covered with a blanket, and there was a slight pain in her left abdomen. Although it wasn’t directly stabbed, it was quite a big cut and was likely stitched up.

“It hurts. My hands, my feet, and my waist hurt.” Lin Gantang’s eyes turned misty when someone showed concern for her.

Wen Yanqing pursed his lips tightly and said hoarsely, “I’m sorry. I’m the one who caused you to get hurt.”

Lin Gantang saw the guilt and self-blame in his eyes.

He was blaming himself.

She was afraid that she would pull on the wound on her waist, so she slowly sat up. Wen Yanqing immediately went forward to help her up.

Lin Gantang took the opportunity to hug and kiss him. “Why do you think that way? Natural and man-made disasters aren’t intentional, are they?”

“If I didn’t want to avenge my mother, I wouldn’t have angered Zhou Manbai. She wouldn’t have kidnapped you, and you wouldn’t have been injured.” Wen Yanqing felt extremely guilty.

“But if you don’t get justice for your mother, will you be happy in the future?” If he could let go of the pain of his mother’s murder easily, it wouldn’t become an obsession. Lin Gantang leaned against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. “Zhou Manbai killed someone. She deserves retribution. You should be blaming Zhou Manbai for her insanity, not your own heart.”

She knew how important his mother was to him. She was the only love and warmth he had during his difficult growing up days. She gave him endless tenderness that came from a mother.

He had personally witnessed his loved one being killed. Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to soothe the pain.

No one had the right to ask Wen Yanqing to let go of his obsession.

Wen Yanqing did not dare to move as Lin Gantang hugged him, afraid that he would accidentally touch her wound.

Wen Yanqing had been waiting for Lin Gantang to wake up. He did not dare to fall asleep. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Lin Gantang lying under the tree with her bloodstained waist. She was covered in bruises of all sizes and her eyes were closed weakly. Wen Yanqing almost suffocated the moment he saw her, and his heart ached as if it was being forcefully ripped out of his chest.

Yes, his mother was very important to him, but so was Lin Gantang.

He was afraid of losing her, an unprecedented fear.

His mother had already passed away, and the only person he could hold on to was Lin Gantang. If he caused her to lose her life because of this, all the light in his life would disappear.

He would be left alone in the endless darkness. How could he move forward?

Wen Yanqing wanted to hug her tightly, but he did not dare to use force. “I should have done better. That way, you would not have been in danger. I would rather have these wounds on my body a hundred times over.”

“Don’t blame yourself. Otherwise, won’t the bad guys succeed? She just wants you to suffer and be in pain. I know your heart aches for me, but I’m not as fragile as you think,” Lin Gantang said softly..
