Chapter 1237 Heather of the Other Shore Flower (261)

With Heather’s comfort, the little nurse felt slightly better, but her heart still kept trembling.

Even if she couldn’t see the person behind her, she could feel a tremendous presence. How could she pretend he wasn’t there?

She finally managed to insert the needle, breathed a sigh of relief, and stammered, "If you need... need anything, just ring for me..."

"Got it, you can go out now."

If she wasn’t let go, she might have been scared to death.

The young girl felt a sense of relief, didn’t dare to lift her head, and ran straight out, but still remembered to close the door.

"Why do you scare the little girl? Seeing me looking like Xiao Man and having gunshot wounds must have frightened her. It’s not easy for her to have held on until now, yet you scared her."

"Understood, I’ll be more careful next time."

Li Sinian sat beside her, and Heather suddenly embraced him, truly feeling this person’s presence.

After the shootout just now, many things in her heart hadn’t been sorted out, and everything felt like a dream, happening so quickly and ending quickly.

Before leaving, she wanted to go to Autumn Mountain to rescue Mo Jun Tian, but now, everything had completely changed, turned upside down.

Only by holding Li Sinian did she feel a bit of reassurance, like everything had finally settled.

Still, she felt somewhat unreal, not able to quite believe that the person before her was really him, her breath on his neck, "Ah Nian... is it really you?"

"It’s me," he said deeply, "Your Ah Nian. I’ve always been by your side, never left."

"So incredible..." Despite one hand being hooked up to an IV, she hugged him, filled with emotion, "Why are you by my side... Yesterday, I never thought something like this would happen..."

"I didn’t expect it either," he hadn’t anticipated today’s events, "I didn’t think Simon had quietly arrived in Linyang, and I didn’t get any wind of it."

He always thought he was in control and could protect her, but today he realized, that’s not the case.

It turns out that once a mistake happens, he might lose her.

Just like when she was shackled to the iron frame and shot by Simon several times. That feeling of powerlessness almost suffocated him.

The same thing had happened months ago during his battle with Night Hawk.

He once vowed not to let such a thing happen again, but he failed to keep his word, and it happened today.

"I’m sorry... I let you get hurt again."

Li Sinian’s words made Heather feel a bit uneasy, "The one who should apologize is me. I almost put you in danger... At that moment, I really regret it, why did I become your vulnerability?"

"Do you know what I feared most when I went? It wasn’t Simon killing you, but you killing yourself. I feared you might have the thought and opportunity, then I wouldn’t even have a chance to rescue you. Wei Wei, can you promise me that no matter what happens, you’ll never have such thoughts in the future? After what happened today, I can’t guarantee that you won’t encounter danger in the days to come, but I can guarantee that if that day comes again, I will still go to rescue you without hesitation. And when that time comes, please be certain that I will never give up on you. You absolutely must... hold on until I come to find you. Promise me."
