Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 1066

Zong Yanxi remained rooted to the spot as she watched her brother’s retreating back. When he was gone, she heaved a deep sigh.

She had only wanted to bring Zhuang Zijin to some familiar places. The woman honestly did not expect those things to happen.

This really is a horrible place. Everything that’s related to it is always bad!

In the ward.

The doctor inspected the injuries on Tawan’s back before instructing him, “Stay away from spicy and cold foods. Try to sleep on your sides and not your back to prevent aggravating your injuries further.”

“Got it.”

“Here’s some cream. Apply it twice a day on your wounds.”

At that moment, Zong Yanxi entered with some food for Tawan. She placed the food on the table and asked the doctor, “When will he recover from his injuries?”

“It shouldn’t take too long, maybe around two days. As long as he avoids touching his back, he’s free to walk around as much as he likes. However, it’s probably going to take at least ten days or so for those wounds to scab over.”

She nodded. “Thank you, Doctor.”

“It’s my duty. Oh, also try to avoid getting water on his wounds.”

“Okay.”

The doctor left to check on his other patients. Zong Yanxi escorted him out before returning and shutting the door. She headed to the table and took out some takeaway food containers. “You’re probably hungry, aren’t you?”

“I’m alright.” Tawan replied awkwardly. He was feeling rather cautious and uncomfortable.

Although he had confessed to Zong Yanxi and she had accepted, now that they were in the same room, there was just something a little off between them.

She moved to sit down beside the bed. Taking a bowl of porridge, she brought a spoonful to his mouth. “This is pumpkin porridge with some meatballs. Try it and see if you like it.”

He raised his eyes to look at her. “I…”

“Hmm?” She locked gazes with him. “Is there something you want to say?”

He opened his mouth and swallowed the mouthful of porridge. “It’s good.” Pausing briefly, he continued, “If you’re regretting – “

“I don’t regret it.”

She did not wait for him to finish speaking before interrupting him.

“You’re a man of your word, right? Then I’ll trust you to keep your word. Unless you’re regretting it?”

“Why would I regret it?” He straightened up in agitation as if that would prove his sincerity. Unfortunately, all he managed to do was pull on his injuries. Sharp pain flared from his wounds and shot through his body.

The only outward expression of his pain was a slight twitching of his eyebrows.

“Hey, take it easy! You’re an injured man so stop moving!” She berated him mock-sternly.

His lips curled up slightly in a smile. Like a spring breeze, it was gentle and warm.
