However, after receiving the cup, he did not drink it, nor did he do anything else. He just sat there with the cup of water and did not âlookâ at her. Instead, he slowly opened his mouth. âYou went to Israel intending never to return?â
Sure enough, he heard.
Feng Ling did not answer. She reached out to push his hand away: âDrink some water.â
He did not move. He held the cup and said, âIf you couldnât find me, what would you have done?â
Feng Ling was quiet for a moment. âBut I found you.â
âIf you couldnât have?â Li Nanhengâs tone was mild. Perhaps because his body was too weak, he couldnât be too forceful. However, even though his words were soft, they were powerful and impossible to ignore in the quiet ward. âCome, letâs answer a hypothetical question. If you couldnât find me after so long, what would you have done?â
â...â
âYou wouldnât have gone back to America? Were you going to keep looking? Even though you know how chaotic that place is and that there are wars everywhere and that a bomb could hit you from the sky at any time, you still would have looked for me with the thought that you wonât be able to return?â When the man said this, he directly placed the cup of water on the blanket covering his legs. He supported it with his weak hands and did not drink it.
Feng Ling didnât want to answer this hypothesis, but she saw that he didnât seem to want to ignore it.
Israel was not a simple country since there were wars everywhere. It was a country where you could lose your life at any time.
âIf I couldnât find you, Iâll keep looking,â Feng Ling said sincerely. âI can search every inch of Jerusalem. I even dare to venture into the ancient jungle. If I couldnât find you in a year, Iâd have searched for you for two years. If I couldnât find you in two years, Iâd have searched for you for ten years. In short, the light in my life began from the moment someone entered my world. Iâll always look for that light. I wonât give up even if I have to search for my entire life.â
After speaking, she looked at Li Nanheng and instinctively felt that she had never said such bittersweet words to him. She didnât know how he would react.
Would he be very touched?
And then regretted avoiding her in Israel a few days ago?
Or perhaps, he would say that she was stubborn and shouldnât have such a stubborn idea and live well.
In short, she had already thought of what to do next.
In the end, Li Nanheng slowly picked up the glass of water, took a sip of the slightly cold water, and put it down. He said very calmly, âOriginally, the doctor said that after I was discharged, I should go home to rest well. The Li family has already planned to send a car to pick me up in a few days. Theyâll send eight to ten people to guard my bed. Iâll be enjoying the treatment of stretching my hands and eating.â
Feng Ling: â?â
Why did he suddenly change the topic?
Li Nanheng continued indifferently: âSeeing that youâre so devoted to me and canât control your excitement, Iâve decided not to return to the Li family. Iâll be merciful and go to your place to recuperate. Iâll let you enjoy the treatment of having me alone.â
Feng Ling: â...?â
âDidnât you have an apartment in Los Angeles? Get someone to tidy it up and add some living things. We can move in right away. The space in the condo isnât small. I wonât mind staying there. Letâs go there.â
Feng Ling slowly came back to herself from Li Nanhengâs strange thoughts: âYouâre talking about the condo you bought for me? Isnât your condo in my condo? Whatâs the difference between this and your own home?â
âThereâs indeed no difference. Whatâs mine is yours, and whatâs yours is mine.â The man took another sip of water. Then, as though this matter had been decided, he no longer brought it up. Instead, he handed her the cup: âItâs cold. Help me change it to a warm one.â
Feng Ling thought she had misheard him. Wasnât he supposed to be very touched? The result of being honest was for her to bear all the responsibility of taking care of him while he was recuperating?
It meant that she didnât have to consider returning to the Feng Corporation for the time being. She definitely wouldnât have the time to go back, nor did she have to consider the base or anyone elseâs matters. She just had to focus on staying at home to accompany him to recuperate. He was recovering, and she was on leave?
Feng Ling did not move for a long time. Li Nanhengâs brows moved: âEarlier, you said you would live for eight to ten years. Now youâre not even willing to pour another glass of water?â
Feng Ling silently approached to receive the cup and glanced at Li Nanheng.
Alright, a leopard never changes its spots.
The man who had been injured to this extent and needed a year to recover was still Li Nanheng, even if he couldnât see.
The main point was that he had clearly learned a new ability. He was able to bring out his shamelessness to its fullest extent, and it was not especially strange.
After pouring another glass of warm water, Feng Ling stuffed the glass into his hand. She watched as he took the glass and his Adamâs apple move as he drank the water. Her mind suddenly recalled the night at Mr. Mikeâs resort in Washington. When she woke up in the second half of the night, she had bitten his throat.
This position seemed especially sensitive.
For some reason, she suddenly noticed his Adamâs apple. Perhaps because he had lost too much weight, his originally attractive Adamâs apple was more obvious than before.
Feng Ling shifted her gaze away and did not notice that her ears were slightly red.
...
Even if Li Nanheng were very cooperative with the treatment, his eyes would still take time to recover, including his physical condition. Although he was alive, his internal organs were still internal injuries. In ancient times, internal injuries were difficult to treat. It was not something that could be healed in a day or two. Everything depended on recovery.
Li Nanheng had received high-quality treatment in the hospital for more than a month and could finally be discharged. The Li family send a car over, but they only sent various daily necessities on behalf of Elder Li.
She didnât know how Li Nanheng communicated with the Li familyâs elders, but they actually agreed to let him stay alone at Feng Lingâs place. They gave Feng Ling the full responsibility of taking care of him. Although she could cook, she wouldnât cook more than three dishes.
Ah Feng also felt that this was unbelievable. Didnât the four elders think that only by letting Boss return to the Li family could he receive better care? After all, Boss sometimes even needed someone to help him to the toilet.
However, on the phone, Old Master Liâs reply to Ah Feng was: âItâs fine. As long as he doesnât starve to death.â
Ah Feng:â...â He put down the phone and silently watched as the lucky Li Nanheng got into Feng Lingâs car.
