âDaiâer, I wasnât confident enough. I felt inferior and thought that I wasnât worthy of such a beautiful person like you. Thatâs why I became more and more sensitive and afraid of losing you.â
Mo Chen held her hand. âI love you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI donât believe you.â Ning Dai rolled her eyes and deliberately didnât look at him.
She needed him to confess his feelings.
Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have been passively accepting her. He had never taken too much initiative towards her, and his love for her seemed to be the same.
âMy heart is filled with you.â Mo Chen gently patted her forehead, his gaze dark. âFrom the first time I saw you when I was young, I fell in love with you. I have never regretted taking the fall for you.â
If he had not saved her back then, causing his legs to be crippled or disfigured, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
But fortunately, there were no ifs and buts. He had saved her.
He was already satisfied to be able to protect the love in his heart.
Ning Daiâs eyelashes trembled slightly as she hugged him tightly. Her red lips landed on his face. âSilly man.â
She loved him too. She only wanted to be with him. In this lifetime, she didnât want anyone else.
The two of them hugged each other tightly. At this moment, their hearts blended together.
After resting and recovering her strength, Ning Dai helped Mo Chen put on his clothes. She pointed at the Seven-Leafed Calamus and tilted her head proudly as she looked at him.
âSecond Brother, letâs start the treatment.â
âOkay,â Mo Chen agreed casually. âYou said that I would give you one day just to bring me here to treat my leg?â
âYes, very soon, your leg will recover.â Ning Daiâs hands were busy picking herbs as she spoke.
Looking at how busy she was, Mo Chen smiled bitterly.
He had misunderstood her.
From the start, he didnât believe her. It was his fault.
The cool medicinal liquid was quickly delivered to Mo Chen.
âSecond Brother, drink it. Iâll apply some herbs on it and inject some needles.â Ning Daiâs expression was serious. Mo Chen nodded and drank the medicinal liquid in one gulp.
His mouth was filled with the smell of grass. It was somewhat bitter, but his heart was warm.
The slender silver needles were densely packed on Mo Chenâs legs. Ning Dai was very serious and focused, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. This was the most crucial treatment, and it was also the last time. After this treatment ended, he would be able to abandon his wheelchair.
Suddenly, a sharp pain was felt. Mo Chen let out a low growl. His palm pressed against his knee, but his face was filled with joy.
His leg was in a lot of pain. This was the first time in all these years that he could feel it so clearly!
âSecond Brother, bear with it a little longer.â
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Ning Daiâs forehead before another needle was inserted. Every time she inserted a needle, Mo Chenâs pain would increase by a little.
However, he could not fall into a coma. Only by being awake during the treatment could he ensure that there would not be any side effects. Ning Daiâs heart ached, but she had to be ruthless and treat him.
When the treatment was over, Ning Dai pulled out the last silver needle and let out a long sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at Mo Chen.
âSecond Brother, youâre doing great. You can rest now.â
âThatâs good.â
Mo Chenâs voice was particularly hoarse and deep. He slowly closed his eyes.
He had fallen asleep.
Ning Dai knew that he would not wake up for another two hours, so she simply sat down beside him. She turned on the computer and flipped through the information that Benjamin had found.
The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.
Benjamin would not lie to her. This was all true. Second and Third Uncles were very likely connected to the kidnapping case ten years ago.
âTwo old geezers, theyâre really courting death.â Ning Daiâs eyes flashed with a cold and dark light.
When Mo Chen woke up, she did not hide this matter.
âLetâs go back to the country.â Mo Chen said in a low voice, âDonât tell the others. Let them think that we are still here.â
