Chapter 429: Chapter 428: Shen Hanâs Inner Demon Chapter 429: Chapter 428: Shen Hanâs Inner Demon Jiang Meiliâs mocking sneer, Bai Qinghuanâs silent tears, it was like a silent showdown. On Shen Hanâs handsome face, his expression remained indifferent, as unfazed as he had always been.
He said nothing, stepped over to Bai Qinghuan, and placed the nourishing items he had brought on the cabinet.
On the cabinet, there were things Su Shu had sent earlier. Seeing that bag, a clear flicker of loss passed through his detached eyes.
After putting away the items, Shen Han said indifferently, âFocus on recovering, I will take care of the hospital matters. Donât overthink it.â
His intention was to tell her not to worry about anything else. Bai Qinghuan looked up at Shen Hanâs calm face and couldnât help but feel a sense of loss.
She tried to smile, âMm! With brother Shen Han here, I wonât be afraid. You pulled me through such difficult times; I wonât give up!â
Whether it was Bai Qinghuanâs effort or the determination in her eyes when she said she wouldnât give up, that touched Shen Hanâs heart for a moment. He rarely reached out to ruffle her hair gently.
âMm, donât give up.â
âI wonât!â
Shen Han turned and walked over to Jiang Meili. The two stood shoulder to shoulder. Shen Han turned his head to coldly look at her, âNot leaving?â
Jiang Meili had been watching Bai Qinghuan with cold eyes. After a moment of anger that led her to raise her hand, she calmed down. Although she still felt the impulse to tear Bai Qinghuan apart, especially when Shen Han had placed his hand on her head, she was almost driven to rush forward, but she forcefully restrained herself in place.
Shen Han did not turn his face due to the words she said, and the uneasy feeling in Jiang Meiliâs heart suddenly vanished.
She thought to herself, a Bai Qinghuan, who was picked up halfway, could never be as important as Su Shu, whom Shen Han had kept by his side for many years, untouchable by others.
And yet, seeing that little wretch looking as if she had done something commendable, it was still damn irksome.
But who was she? She was Jiang Meili!
With a twist of her high heels, she turned and left the infirmary with large strides, chin held high.
Bai Qinghuan? Ha, we have a long way to go. My man, who wouldnât even spare Su Shu, wouldnât spare any thoughts for a shrimp like you.
Before Shen Han left, he casually closed the door to the sickroom and returned to the military camp with Jiang Meili. Bai Qinghuan, he had seen her, and there was no serious harm, but he indeed needed to contact Capital City now.
His heart had been aching since he arrived in City C, without cessation.
He knew where the problem lay; he thought, he needed some time to solve this problem. Where exactly had he made a mistake?
As the door to the sickroom closed, the smile on the face of the person by the window suddenly disappeared.
Bai Qinghuan, wiping her swollen cheek, stared blankly at the corner of the bed for a long time.
Lying on the pillow, her gaze could just pass through the window. She could see the frail sparrow perched on the power line outside, perhaps crying weakly because it couldnât find its way home.
On her head, it seemed the touch of Shen Hanâs gentle ruffle still lingered.
Closing her eyes, the tremor of that moment remained, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Bai Qinghuan couldnât lie to herself. She didnât know from which moment it started, but she dearly missed the time when she struggled to escape death by Shen Hanâs side.
Amidst gunfire and bullets, it was Shen Hanâs tall figure, his broad back, carrying her frail form, dragging her back from the brink of death.
She had really been afraid of dragging him down, wanting to give up on life, butâŠ
She was in this state, and Shen Han had not given up on her, no matter if it was out of pity or some other reason. At this moment, the young Bai Qinghuan didnât want to guess those reasons.
