Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 171

Jiang Yao gazed at the unconscious patient on the bed next to Chen Zhibin. Her hair was as white as snow and her face was wrinkled, with wires and tubes were scattered all over her body. If she hadn't heard Lu Xingzhi earlier, she would have thought the patient was Chen Zhibin's grandmother.

Jiang Yao observed the men's standoff closely. Lu Xingzhi was a sergeant whose base was in Jindo, a city far away from Nanjiang City. If a comrade's mother fell ill, under normal circumstances, the army would not have sent a sergeant to visit his comrade's relative.

Moreover, it seemed that Lu Xingzhi had rushed here in a hurry.

There must be a reason behind all this.

"The hospital has assigned a nurse to look after your mother, you can take turns with her," Lu Xingzhi uttered. His tone was natural despite the lack of gentleness when he spoke to his subordinate. He patted Chen Zhibin's shoulder and continued, "The hospital will arrange for a new ward for you. I'll come back later."

"Sergeant, you don't have to come..." Chen Zhibin gritted his teeth and relented the truth in his heart. "I've made up my mind, I won't return to the army no matter what."

"Chen Zhibin, I told you once and I told you twice, don't make me repeat again. Listen carefully, it's not up to you to decide!" Lu Xingzhi growled in dismay, "You! Stay here and wait for the updates!"

Lu Xingzhi walked out of the ward, taking Jiang Yao with him. His indignant expression was like an ambulance where all the doctors and nurses who walked past them quickly stood aside to make way.

Similarly, Jiang Yao was frightened by Lu Xingzhi's sudden burst of temper. He was not the type who would get irrational when he got angry which paired with shouting and yelling. Instead, he would suppress the burning rage in his heart. There was not much expression on his stone face, but his eyes were icy cold and the dangerous aura that radiated from his body was so distressing that it would make everyone around him choke and gasp for air.

"Xingzhi," Jiang Yao nudged him gingerly and mumbled, "what happened to your comrade?"
