Chapter 1059: The Story of Ling and Heng (322)
Feng Ling actually didn’t know what she was thinking, but persuaded by Wen Leqing, she finally agreed to see Li Nanheng.
She had come anyway, so she should take a look at his injuries. After all, he was injured because of her.
When they walked to the door of Li Nanheng’s ward, Wen Leqing waved to her and motioned for her to enter quickly.
Feng Ling hesitated, pushing the door and entering.
The ward was quiet.
Li Nanheng seemed to be still asleep.
Feng Ling looked at him for a while at the door and then walked in. She walked to the bed, looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, and noticed there was a ring-shaped medical device on his neck that fixed the cervical spine. Even with this strange thing on his neck, he still looked handsome.
She guessed that this device was used to treat his neck.
She saw the translucent white tape on the back of the man’s hand. The man’s hand quietly rested on the side of the bed, and he didn’t even move his fingers.
He really didn’t wake up.
Feng Ling stood by the bed and looked at him for a long time, remembering his gaze when he was sitting in that tree hole pale-faced, and remembering how she coldly denied everything that had happened, and the way he looked at her when she claimed that she had never loved him.
She gazed at him for a long time and then suddenly saw the man’s hand that was quietly placed on the quilt moving slightly, and when she looked closely, she saw that his finger twitched.
She set her eyes on the man’s pale face again and found that he seemed to be awakening, and he was faintly frowning.
Guarding outside the door of the ward, Wen Leqing suddenly heard the door open and when she turned around, she saw Feng Ling walking out.
“Why don’t you stay there a bit longer?”
“He may be waking up soon. Ask Doctor Wen and the others to come over and take a look,” Feng Ling said and walked in the direction she had come.
Seeing her leave without hesitation, Wen Leqing secretly sighed, said something to the nurse, and then chased after her.
She didn’t try to persuade Feng Ling to go back to the ward, but took her to do some examinations, and then asked her to go back to the ward to wait.
The sky was getting dark, and three hours had passed since Feng Ling had been to Li Nanheng’s ward.
During these three hours, except for doing the checks, Feng Ling had been staying in the ward and did not go out, nor did she see anyone from XI Base.
When it was time for dinner, the hospital sent in a special nutritional meal. The food smelled fragrant, but Feng Ling had no appetite and didn’t eat it. She just sat on the bed alone, looking out the window.
When Wen Leqing came in again, the food was already cold.
Seeing Feng Ling not eating, Wen Leqing walked over. “Why don’t you eat?”
“I’m not hungry.”
“It seems as if you are put under house arrest by people of XI Base, but in fact, they are just worrying about your health. I just met Han Jin. He didn’t explain anything but just said that you will always be a member of XI Base. Without the permission of the base, you were not allowed to work elsewhere. They wouldn’t hold you accountable for working outside for the past two years but now that they had found you, they wouldn’t let you stay outside.”
Han Jin had said this to her before. Although he didn’t say it so bluntly, Feng Ling knew what he meant.
“I understand.”
Hearing this, Wen Leqing looked at her for a while, then went out and asked the nurse to take away the cold dinner and bring her a new one.
The new dinner was brought over and Wen Leqing urged Feng Ling to eat it. Under her gentle and enthusiastic offensive, Feng Ling ate some, but she really didn’t have any appetite, so she only had a few bites before putting down the tableware.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Wen Leqing turned to open the door and Feng Ling saw that it was Doctor Wen who she hadn’t seen for a long time.
“How do you feel?” Doctor Wen looked away from Wen Leqing’s face and turned to look at Feng Ling who was sitting by the bed.
“I’ve seen her X-ray films. Her condition is not bad, but her internal organs were impacted by the shock of the bomb and suffered a temporary displacement for just a few seconds, resulting in the pain in her internal organs. But there isn’t any severe pain or internal hemorrhage, so she is all right,” Wen Leqing said while looking at the man in the white gown in front of her with glowing eyes. “Brother, is Nanheng awake?”
Doctor Wen didn’t seem to see the light in Wen Leqing’s eyes and walked straight to Feng Ling. “That’s great. I witnessed you grow from a skinny ‘boy’ to the current appearance. It does not matter whether you’re a man or a woman. What matters is to live happily and freely. We should learn to live for ourselves. Feng Ling, have you found your goal in life in the past two years outside?”
Feng Ling smiled. “Doctor Wen, you speak like an old man.”
She remembered that Dr. Wen was two years older than Wen Leqing. Wen Leqing seemed to be only twenty-five years, so he was only twenty-seven, but he spoke like her senior.
But he and his sister, one was aloof and stoic and the other was gentle and enthusiastic, if they were not brother and a sister, they really made a good match.
Wen Leqing and Dr. Wen did not look alike at all.
No matter in appearance, temperament, or any other aspect, they were different. Except that they were both excellent, they didn’t look like a brother and a sister at all.
“I’m still older than you, OK?” Doctor Wen said with a faint smile.
Feng Ling: “…”
“Brother, Nanheng is the same age as you. If you’re her senior, what about Nanheng?” Wen Leqing chuckled.
Doctor Wen didn’t respond to Wen Leqing but only looked at Feng Ling. Although there was a kind smile on his face, Feng Ling could see the sense of distance in his eyes. He was just showing his concern for an old friend.
“Doctor Wen, I remember that when I was still at the base a long time ago, I was once injured, and in the infirmary you asked me what was my goal in life. My answer was to have warm food, a cozy house with a comfortable bed, and stay alive.”
“Yes.”
“My answer is the same now and it was before. It has never changed.”
