The word âfiancéâ caused Carrieâs eyelids to twitch. Her expression immediately turned cold. âThe person youâre looking for isnât with me.â
With that, she closed the door.
âWait!â Feng Ling raised her hand to press against the door that was about to be closed. She looked at the young girl. âGranny Mai has been kind to me. She has also taken me in for the past two days. You are her granddaughter. I should be very polite to you, but you canât hide a seriously injured person in your place. Have you ever thought that if he had a chance to live well, but treatment was delayed, it would no longer be saving people but harming lives!â
âWhat are you talking about? What delaying treatment?â Carrieâs expression was full of unhappiness. âAnyway, I donât have the person you mentioned. Take your hand away! Let me tell you, in our place, if you, an outsider, didnât have my grandmother, you would have been chased away. If you dare to break into my house, Iâll go out and call everyone over. See if the people here will still keep you!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
With that, she forcefully tugged her hand down and slammed the door shut. At the same time, she could hear the sound of the door being locked again.
Feng Ling looked at the tightly shut door, and her expression darkened.
It was true that the people in this town trusted her because of her relationship with Granny Mai. Still, after all, she was an outsider, so even if the people here wouldnât drive her away, they would carefully avoid her when they saw her. If she did anything rash here, they would drive her away to protect Miss Carrie.
K was still here, and so was Li Nanheng. She couldnât be rash.
Especially since Carrie was Granny Maiâs granddaughter. She wouldnât have known these things if it hadnât been for Granny Mai.
However, right now, she really wanted to kick open the door in front of her and rush in to see how badly Li Nanheng was injured.
Feng Ling stood outside the door for a long time. She raised her hand and knocked several times. This time, Carrie didnât even bother to respond. She didnât even say a word.
About ten minutes later, Feng Ling heard another cough. Her heart trembled, and she quickly walked back and forth along the direction of the sound. Finally, when she approached the closed window, she heard the sound more clearly.
She pressed her hand against the window. Earlier, she had only heard the coughing intermittently, but now she could hear it clearly.
The hand pressed against the window was the opposite of the hot temperature here. It was slightly cold.
It was very quiet inside. She didnât know if Li Nanheng was awake or unconscious or how he was.
At this moment, Granny Mai finally rushed over. Seeing Feng Ling standing outside the window in deep thought, she immediately understood something and rushed over. âHow is it? You didnât see your friend?â
Feng Ling turned to look at her and raised her hand to point at the clothes on the drying rack. âThose are his clothes. I heard a cough from inside. It must be him. Granny, I canât enter your granddaughterâs house rashly. I can tell that she doesnât welcome me. She locked the door from the inside, but if she locked my friend inside just to prove her medical skills, itâs not fair to us. Granny, please help me!â
Granny Maiâs expression immediately changed. âNonsense!â With that, she frowned and turned to the door. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. âCarrie, open the door.â
It was quiet inside for a while.
âCarrie, Grandma is going to be angry!â Granny Mai said unhappily. âThe one inside is Miss Fengâs friend. Sheâs seriously injured. Donât mess around!â
Finally, Carrieâs voice came from inside. âGrandma, that woman is lying. I asked him, and he said that he doesnât know anyone with the surname Li, nor does he know the woman outside! Either sheâs mistaken, or sheâs lying! Grandma! Itâs so unsafe outside right now. Why canât you just let a stranger stay here? Since she has already found that friend, why is she still looking for all sorts of reasons to refuse to leave? I think she must have some ulterior motive!â
Granny Mai was startled. Feng Ling shook her head when she turned to look at her.
Granny Mai sighed and knocked on the door again. âOpen the door first and let her in for a look. If heâs not her friend, she wonât do anything to you. Sheâll leave immediately.â
âNo! His wounds havenât healed yet. He canât see the wind!â Carrieâs voice was very unhappy and impatient. âGrandma, donât bring a stranger here! I saved him and even woke him up. This means that the medicine I used is all right. Furthermore, he canât see. If that woman comes in and insists that she knows him and he canât see who she is, itâs not fair to him. I wonât let her in!â
âThis child...â
âAnd he said very clearly that he doesnât know that woman outside! Why should I let her in! Heâs already injured, and it wonât be good for him if she brings in any dirty things or bacteria!â Carrie raised her voice. âGrandma, quickly take her away. Donât let her come again!â
Feng Ling said, âMiss Carrie, you know the condition of my friend in the doctorâs office. They were all poisoned by chemicals and had various symptoms. His lost eyesight and memory loss may be temporary. Right now, no matter what he has forgotten, it may only be his current symptoms. Let me take a look at him. I can tell with one glance that he is...â
âStop lying! He didnât forget anything. When he woke up, he told me very clearly why he was injured. Although he is very weak right now, his words are clear! Itâs just that he canât see! He said he doesnât know you, so he doesnât know you!â Carrieâs tone was still firm.
Feng Ling could not believe it.
It was even more impossible to believe.
Were his words clear? Was his memory clear?
How could he not remember her?
Impossible.
She turned to look at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack outside, walked over, and took the clothes down. She looked at the clothesâ material and size and then at the burnt marks left by the explosion.
These were Li Nanhengâs clothes.
The only person who could be in Gorkin Farm with K was Li Nanheng.
There couldnât be anyone else.
She didnât lie, so the person who lied was another person.
Could it be that when Li Nanheng found out she was here, he refused to meet her and even said he didnât know her?
The only person who could lie was this Carrie.
But why did she lie?
