For a person like Zuo Hancheng, love at first sight would never appear in his world.
That was why Anhao had been thinking about it all these years. Not long ago, she even asked him foolishly what he saw in her.
Even if it was because of his suspicions about her background, at least this mysterious background that she was too lazy to even ask about was the reason why Zuo Hancheng had his eyes on her.
Only God knew how difficult it was for a man like Zuo Hancheng to set his eyes on a woman. It was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens. But at least now, she had finally found a home from this ethereal uneasiness and was completely at ease.
Was this the reason why Zuo Hancheng said he owed her?
How could this be considered owing her?
If he hadnât forcefully entered her world and dragged her out of the mud, if he hadnât corrected her outlook on life and made her wake up from her hatred and confusion, if he hadnât made her look forward to a beautiful future, the Anhao standing here now would not be like thisâ¦
D was still standing outside the ward when the quiet door suddenly opened and Anhao walked out again.
âMrs. Zuo?â Dâs eyes flashed as he looked at her.â
âAre we allowed to enter the ruins now?âAnhao ignored the shock in Dâs eyes and asked calmly.
âMadam?â D was in disbelief and was even slightly excited by her calmness.
â Iâll stand by what I said just now. Before I see the corpse, I wonât accept any of the reality youâre talking about. Iâm going to find Zuo Hancheng and my husband.âAnhaoâs expression was indifferent. Other than her pale face, there was no other sadness on her face.
âMrs. Zuo, you canât be discharged from the hospital right now. Your fever just subsided not long ago, and you havenât eaten anything yet. â Besides, the area has been cordoned off. No one is allowed to enter to prevent any explosives from causing innocent casualties. So even if you go now, you wonât be able to get close to the site of the accident.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Anhao looked at him quietly.ââHow much of what you said to me just now was your subjective consciousness?â
D didnât answer. For the first time, a man who had risked his life in the underworld looked a little uneasy in front of this delicate little woman.
âI know you want me to let it go and reduce the damage, but what you said just now was unfair to Zuo Hancheng.ââI know best how he treats me. D, thank you.ââ
Dâs eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. He looked at her with a smile and a cry. A man would not cry easily, but at this moment, his eyes were still red.âIf Mr. Zuo is in heaven and can hear your words, Mrs. Zuo, he will definitelyâ¦Will be very gratified to see the inside
âHe didnât die, so he canât be in heaven.âAnhaoâs voice was still calm, but when she emphasized that Zuo Hancheng was not dead, her voice was a little stiff and persistent.
D didnât say anything else. He lowered his head slowly and bowed respectfully to Anhao.
Anhao didnât know why he was bowing to her like this. She just smiled and suddenly asked before she walked back to the ward,ââDoes the Zuo family know about this?â
âGot it. Everyone from the Zuo family is here. Mrs. Zuo came to see you when you were unconscious, but because of the An family, they didnât stay long before they went to the vicinity of the explosion site.â
Anhaoâs expression looked calm, but her heart was in pain.
âCan I accompany them?â
After a moment of silence, D nodded.â Iâll make arrangements as soon as possible, but Mrs. Zuo, itâs best if you stay in the hospital for another day. I can only take you out of the hospital after your condition has stabilized. Also, with Mr. Arel around, it might be difficult to take you out of the hospital without permission, but Iâll try my best.â
âThe Andersons and that Mr. Arel have nothing to do with me. I donât need their permission to be discharged.âAnhaoâs voice suddenly turned colder.
D didnât say anything else and only nodded at her.âRest well, donât think too much. You can only take care of your body and live a healthy life. Only then will you not let down Mr. Zuoâs sacrificeâ¦â
Before he could finish his last two words, Anhaoâs gaze swept over him and he immediately stopped.
âI wonât let Mr. Zuo down.âD added.
Only then did Anhao let him go.
When she returned to the ward, she sat beside the bed but did not lie down. Her mind was filled with the scene of Zuo Hancheng firing three shots at his shoulder with the black pistol in the dark room.
At the thought of this, Anhaoâs head began to hurt as if it was about to split open.
It was as if the pain had transferred directly to her shoulder. She slowly raised her hand and stroked her shoulder. She closed her eyes and realized that her tears had long dried.
The environment of this ward was very good. There was a sofa by the window, a resting room for the accompanying person on the other side of the bed, and a television by the wall.
Anhao could not calm herself down now. She sat there quietly and recalled everything that happened that day, the sea of fire, and the scene of Zuo Hancheng pushing her and D out, covered in blood, and asking D to take her away.
If this continued, she would go crazy.
She got up and turned on the television, trying to find something to distract her.
Zuo Hancheng was not dead. She could not keep thinking about these things. She should focus on recovering and then go to the Zuo family to wait for him to come back.
As soon as he turned on the TV, the news from a radio station in New York was playing. The news was about the fire on a farm in the suburbs of New York three days ago. That nightmarish scene reappeared in front of his family.
Her eyes were filled with the sky full of flames and the constant explosions in the distance until she could barely hear the English broadcast on the news. All she could see was the casualties at the bottom of the screen.
There were no specific casualties.
Anhao only paid attention to one word, nothing.
Destroyed, everything, everything, everythingâ¦
It meant that all living beings and crops in the circle of this disaster would be destroyed, and no one would survive.
Anhao suddenly turned off the television and smiled as she stood in front of it.
These people were really crazy.
They were all crazy!
Wouldnât using the word ânothingâ on the news mislead the audience? Someone was still alive, and Zuo Hancheng was not dead at all!
She had the urge to smash the television. She clenched her fists and resisted all the impulses that almost drove her crazy. The crazy one was obviously the others, not her. She had to calm down! Zuo Hancheng was not dead. She had to calm down!
Suddenly, Anhao turned around and quickly walked to the window. She pushed open the window and tried her best to look in the direction of the farm.
Even though the fire had been put out yesterday, the sky in that direction was still covered in black fog, as if the smoke had not dissipatedâ¦
