Chapter 787: Chapter 788: After Being Discharged, I Will Take Care of You!
Right up to the hospital room, Huo Yishan stared intensely at him.
Li Yuan placed her on the hospital bed and adjusted the blanket for her, accidentally touching her ice-cold hands in the process.
“You’ve been outside for so long, didn’t you feel cold?” he asked as he proactively took her hands into his, blowing warm breath into his palms.
Such a gentle gesture instantly dissolved all of Huo Yishan’s earlier dissatisfaction.
This man was a little strange—so fierce when angry, yet his gentleness could involuntarily drown anyone.
“I don’t want to stay in the hospital room.”
“Why?”
“It’s stuffy, boring, and there’s no one to keep me company.” She lowered her head, letting her hands be cradled and warmed by his rubbing in his palms.
And regarding this tenderness, she took it for granted, thinking he did it only because her hands were cold, not realizing that not every man would make such a gesture toward her.
He looked at her intently, then suddenly spoke, “I’ll keep you company.”
She quickly raised her head to meet his sincere eyes.
“But don’t you have work?”
“I am the hospital Director, and I make the decisions!”
“…” How wilful.
“Moreover, if you don’t want to stay in the hospital, you can be discharged tomorrow.”
This surprised Huo Yishan, “Really?”
“Mhm.”
“But didn’t you say I needed at least a week?”
He lifted those deep eyes to gaze at her, “After you’re discharged, I will take care of you.”
“…”
She blinked her large eyes. What did he mean by taking care of her?
“Didn’t you say you can’t tell your family?” he asked again.
She nodded blankly, “Mhm.”
“Then I will take care of you.”
He bent his head down and only let go of her hands after they were warmed up.
Huo Yishan was still dazed. Taking care of her meant he would go to her apartment?
At this thought, she suddenly widened her eyes. That apartment was her single residence, intended precisely for when she played roles that required her to ‘get hurt’ and needed a place to stay.
“You, you’re going to my house?”
His expression was unaltered, “No, precisely speaking, it’s your apartment.”
“…No way!”
“Why?”
“That, that’s my boudoir!”
“I’m your boyfriend!”
“A fake one!”
“I’ve already told my father about us, so from now on, every move of ours might be under my father’s surveillance. Therefore, you need to play the role of ‘girlfriend’ a bit better.”
Huo Yishan’s eyes widened, “We’re under surveillance!?”
Of course, they weren’t!
He said this only as a legitimate excuse to take care of her after she was discharged!
“Mhm, although I’m not certain, my father will definitely have someone watch my every move to verify the truth, but don’t worry, they won’t be watching you, just me.”
“Then you don’t need to come take care of me. You have work, right? So it’s fine if you don’t come to my house, he wouldn’t have any reason to suspect anything, right?”
“You’re my woman, and as a doctor, leaving my injured girlfriend alone in an apartment unattended, do you think that makes sense?”
Huo Yishan paused, feeling that… it indeed didn’t make sense.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention being a doctor, even a non-doctor boyfriend would be considerate toward his girlfriend, naturally wanting to take care of her when she is sick or injured.
Looking up, she glanced at the man before her. Being confined in the hospital was less appealing than being discharged and having him take care of her!
“Then alright!” she agreed instantly.
