Chapter 1369: The Story of Ling and Heng (632)
As Feng Ling spoke, she reached out to hold his hand. The moment she held his hand, the man coughed violently. She wasn’t sure if it was because he instinctively wanted to cover his mouth or if he wanted to pull his hand away, but he was currently trying to free his hand from her grip.
Feng Ling did not hold on to him forcefully. When the man withdrew his hand, the suppressed cough caused the pain in her heart that she had been suppressing to spread out slowly. Finally, he suddenly could not help but cough violently on the bed. Blood that could not be suppressed flowed out of his mouth. Feng Ling quickly stood up and was about to change his position from lying down to sitting up. It was too uncomfortable for him to choke back the blood.
However, the moment her hand touched his shoulder, the man seemed to have received an electric shock. He suddenly flung her hand away and, at the same time, pushed her hand away.
Perhaps because he had exerted too much force, the blood on his body and chin made him look like a lonely soul that had just crawled out of a pool of blood. He was terrifying and disheveled. Afterward, he pushed away from her hand, which was about to reach out to support him again. However, because his body was unstable, he sat on the bed with one hand and supported himself against the edge of the bed. He staggered and spat out another mouthful of blood. At the same time, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Why are you still here…”
Feng Ling frowned. “You’re still chasing me away at a time like this? Li Nanheng, are you…”
“Go away…” The man’s face was filled with pain. Amidst the pain, there seemed to be some impatience. He refused her touch and forcefully pushed her hand away. He staggered and laid on the edge of the bed. There was still blood and foam in his mouth. Even as he spoke, blood oozed out of his mouth:” Go…! ”
Feng Ling was pushed away by him again and again, but she could not get angry at all. Seeing him like this, the pain in her heart slowly spread to her limbs. She quickly bent down to help him up: “Boss…”
Hearing him call her Boss, the man who was trembling from the pain and was so weak that he could barely open his eyes furrowed his brows. Feng Ling gripped his shoulders tightly and helped him sit up: “Don’t push me anymore. You can’t leave me now…”
Li Nanheng did not look at her. Seeing that he had lost so much weight in just a few days that even the blood vessels under his eyelids could be seen clearly, and that the ice-cold temperature on his body was about to fade, she quickly pulled the blanket on the bed over him. She held him firmly in her arms in the way he had protected her in the past. She did not give him any chance to escape. Her face was pressed against his face, and her voice was close to his blood-covered mouth as she said, “Don’t chase me away… Let me accompany you… Don’t chase me away again…”
Li Nanheng clearly wanted to drive her away, but he didn’t have the strength to do so. He only frowned and slowly turned his face away. He didn’t allow her to touch the blood on his lips with her white and clean skin.
Almost three or four minutes later, hurried footsteps came from outside. It wasn’t just one person’s footsteps. Carrie had already called the doctor over. She rushed in and saw that the man in Feng Ling’s arms was wrapped in a blanket. There was blood on the side of the man’s mouth and on the bed.
Carrie immediately let out a low cry. “Coughing blood again, is it? He looked much better after waking up a few days ago. Why is he vomiting so badly these days… Uncle Mona, look at him… I clearly used the right medicine…”
The doctor known as Uncle Mona had become familiar with Feng Ling in the past few days. Seeing that the man was indeed not in a good state, he did not bother to be polite and directly walked over.
However, just as the doctor was checking Li Nanheng’s injuries and was about to remove his clothes, Li Nanheng seemed to have woken up and suddenly raised his hand to block the doctor’s hand.
“You’re still conscious, aren’t you?” As Doctor Mona had known Granny Mai for many years, he knew some simple Chinese that sounded a bit stuffy. “Carrie said that your injury is very serious. It’s even more serious than the young man in my place. Right now, I need to check all of your injuries…”
Li Nanheng did not move. His hand was still firmly blocking Doctor Mona’s hand. His expression was firm; he did not want to be undressed again.
Carrie was anxious from the back. “Uncle Mona is the doctor who taught me medicine. He’s the best doctor on our Gorkin Farm. Let him take a look…”
After a moment of silence, Li Nanheng said hoarsely, “Let her out.”
Feng Ling was hugging him tightly and refusing to let go. She was the closest to him. Even though he didn’t say his name, she immediately understood his meaning.
He meant for her to go out.
Her expression darkened. Doctor Mona also looked up at her. “Miss Feng Ling, let me check his wounds first. It seems like he won’t cooperate if you’re here.”
Feng Ling’s hand tightly gripped the blanket by Li Nanheng’s side. At this moment, Carrie also walked over and looked at her. She wanted to say something but was frightened by Feng Ling’s cold and unforgettable aura. She didn’t dare to speak up but kept glancing at her, indicating for her to cooperate and leave quickly.
Feng Ling had no choice but to shift her hand away from Li Nanheng. After releasing him, she stood up from the bed and took a step back. She meant that if she didn’t affect the doctor from checking his wounds, she could stand further away.
The doctor did not say more. He moved forward to remove Li Nanheng’s clothes, but the man on the bed raised his hand to stop him. He coughed again, and as he coughed out more blood, he said hoarsely with difficulty, “Let her… out…”
Feng Ling’s expression did not reveal any emotions. She only looked at the man who kept asking her to leave.
“This…” Doctor Mona could actually forcefully hold him down because this patient’s stamina was weak. However, even though this man was injured to this extent, he strangely felt a sense of oppression that would not allow him to dare to hold him down forcefully. He could only turn back to look at Feng Ling.
“Hurry up and go out. He doesn’t want to see you at all! I saw that the two times he coughed up blood were severe. It was all because of your appearance. Originally, he was fine. If you weren’t here, he wouldn’t have been so agitated, and he wouldn’t have been like this! Quickly go out!” Carrie muttered unhappily. “He kept chasing you away, and you were still here. Now that the doctor is here, you’re still in the way…”
Feng Ling slowly clenched her fists and released them. “All right.”
With that, she turned away and walked out of Carrie’s cabin.
