Chapter 1060: The Story of Ling and Heng (323)
“It’s a good thing that your life goal has not changed. At least it shows that you still live as simple as ever. Of course, I don’t mean you’re simple-minded.” Doctor Wen pointed to his head and looked at Feng Ling. “I mean you have simple thinking. With it, life can be easier.”
Doctor Wen was an elegant, calm, and insightful man. Although Feng Ling did not quite understand what he meant, she still nodded.
“I’ll go to see your X-ray films later. Even if you’re not seriously injured, you’d better stay here for a few more days. Don’t leave in a hurry.”
Feng Ling nodded.
Even if Doctor Wen consented her to leave, Han Jin would not let her go.
“OK, take a rest and eat more. Don’t eat so little,” Doctor Wen said and turned to walk out.
Wen Leqing followed up and, at the door of the ward, she asked in a low voice, “Is Nanheng awake, Brother? Why didn’t you mention Nanheng?”
Although her voice was very low, Feng Ling still heard her but she just sat quietly by the bed.
Dr. Wen stopped and looked back at the little woman with her long hair tied into a ponytail behind her head. His gaze paused on her face and then he looked away and said softly, “He has woken up but is still lying in the hospital bed. Nothing special.”
“Didn’t he say he wanted to see Feng Ling?”
“No.”
Wen Leqing didn’t speak but looked at Doctor Wen, who also looked at her and left without a word.
Seeing him trying to stay away from her, Wen Leqing couldn’t help but want to keep up, but thinking that Feng Ling was still in the ward, she stopped. She closed the door and looked back. Feng Ling was sitting on the hospital bed without saying a word.
Although staying silent, Feng Ling heard their conversation.
Before Li Nanheng went into a coma, he used the last remaining consciousness to say in her ear. “Remember what you said today.”
Feng Ling lowered her head to pick up the spoon again and took a sip of soup.
Wen Leqing knew that Feng Ling’s ears were very sharp. Seeing that she didn’t speak, she walked back and sat next to her. Watching her mechanically sending soup and food into her mouth, she said, “Nanheng has just woken up. He has been in a coma for too long a time, so his consciousness has not recovered much.”
Feng Ling didn’t speak and Wen Leqing thought it was strange.
The person who Nanheng had been searching for the past two years was finally found and was forcibly brought here by Han Jin. But when he woke up, he didn’t ask to see Feng Ling. Wasn’t it strange?
——
On the second day after Li Nanheng woke up, Feng Ling obediently recuperated in the ward, didn’t go out, and did not hear any order from Li Nanheng to see her.
On the third day after Li Nanheng woke up, he did not see her.
Neither did he on the fourth day.
Until the fifth day, it was said that a lot of well-informed people came to visit him in the hospital. It is said that Li Nanheng’s ward was very lively today, but he still did not see her.
Feng Ling kept sleeping in the ward. It was already the afternoon when she woke up. Suddenly Wen Leqing pushed the door and said, “Feng Ling, someone wants to see you.”
Feng Ling turned his eyes and saw a couple walking in behind Wen Leqing.
They looked familiar, but Feng Ling couldn’t remember who they were. Then a little girl about six years old with bright eyes walked in following the couple. After entering the ward, she looked left and right, her face curious.
Feng Ling tried to search for the memory of the couple in her mind. When the lady came forward to hold her hand a little excitedly, Feng Ling finally remembered who they were.
“Mr. Ted and… Mrs. Ted?” Feng Ling asked tentatively.
Mrs. Ted immediately looked at her with excitement and held her hand more tightly. “Mr. Feng… oh no, Miss Feng, we never thought that you were actually a girl. You save our lives, especially our daughter, who was so young at the time and was thrown to the hands of the rescue team by you in that critical moment. At that time, I was not decisive enough on the cruise ship and almost put you in danger!”
Feng Ling finally remembered what happened between her and this middle-aged woman in her thirties.
She did not expect to meet Mr. Ted and his wife here.
When their family was kidnapped, she went to the cruise ship to rescue them. At that time she fell into the sea and was rescued by Qiao Fei onto an island, and then the secret of her gender was discovered for the first time, so she remembered it well.
Mr. Ted also walked over and smiled politely at Feng Ling. “Miss Feng, you saved our lives and we shall never forget it. We are very grateful to you, and my wife has been guilty for causing you to fall into the sea. I didn’t expect to meet you here, nor did I expect that there would be such a great girl in XI Base. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of my family.”
“You don’t have to be so polite. I was on the mission back then and that was my duty.” Seeing Mr. Ted suddenly bow to her, Feng Ling hurriedly stood up.
The one in front of her was a mayor, and she was a bit shy to… see him bow to her.
Feng Ling was embarrassed and didn’t know how to deal with this kind of occasion.
Mrs. Ted kept holding her hand and said, “We have moved to Los Angeles and my husband is also working here. Now he is a deputy city secretary of Los Angeles and will run for Mayor of Los Angeles next year, so we have more contacts with XI Base. We heard that Mr. Li had an accident, so we came to visit him, but we didn’t expect you to be here too.”
After being saved by Feng Ling, they went to XI Base to thank her in person, but Feng Ling was injured and hospitalized, so they didn’t see her.
They were very glad to meet her here two years later.
Even if Feng Ling didn’t know about the mayor or secretary of city, she was surprised that Mr. Ted was already preparing to run for Mayor of Los Angeles. He was really awesome.
