Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: When you wake up, we’ll make up
“You should be thankful. Your bravery has already minimized the damage to its lowest point.” Diwu Zexuan glanced at the still-unconscious Dan Hanjie, his words cold and merciless.
But they were undeniable facts.
Qin Youxuan’s petite frame trembled slightly, utterly unable to accept the possibility that Dan Hanjie’s right leg might not recover.
“Xuan, don’t overthink it for now. The most important thing is that he’s alive. You two can still be together, and nothing is more important than that.” Rui Hui pushed Diwu Zexuan aside and sat down next to Qin Youxuan.
Seeing her pale complexion, Rui Hui hugged her with aching sympathy.
“Hanjie’s injuries are more severe than yours, and it might take quite a while before he regains consciousness. You shouldn’t exhaust yourself either. Get some rest; the police are still investigating. Yao has already gone with them and will make sure the culprits behind this won’t escape.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan opened her mouth but, in the end, said nothing.
She rose from the bed and slowly approached Dan Hanjie.
Reaching out, she touched his cold face, then lowered her head and pressed her cheek to his.
“I’m sorry…”
Tears fell unexpectedly as Qin Youxuan stared at the wounds on his face and his right leg, wrapped entirely in bandages…
When she tried to speak, her voice caught in her throat.
“Dan Hanjie, when you wake up, let’s reconcile. I’ll stay by your side during rehab. Your leg will get better, I promise.”
Her petite frame leaned against him, arms wrapping tightly around his waist.
Diwu Zexuan and Rui Hui exchanged a glance before turning and leaving the hospital room.
Once they were outside the room, Rui Hui immediately raised her hand and punched Diwu Zexuan.
“I checked Hanjie’s leg. The worst-case scenario is that he won’t be able to exert too much force. It shouldn’t affect normal walking—where do you even get off scaring Xuan like that!”
“What if there’s a next time? Do you think they’ll still be this lucky?” Diwu Zexuan grabbed her hand, pulling Rui Hui directly into his embrace.
Peering down coldly at her stunned face, his gaze locked onto her enchanting eyes as the corner of his mouth curved into a smirk.
“Did you not see Qin Youxuan’s expression when she heard me say Hanjie might have trouble walking?” Diwu Zexuan sneered, his smile icy to the bone.
“I was merely giving her a reality check. The dead are gone, but the living can’t always afford to wait. If they continue like this, next time you might not see two people alive.”
“…”
Rui Hui fell silent.
After a long, conflicted pause, she finally spoke hesitantly, “Couldn’t you have done it differently? Didn’t you see how pale Xuan became? She just barely scraped through death herself.”
“If someone can risk their life for another, why can’t they live well together instead?” Diwu Zexuan’s gaze lowered, eyes locked onto Rui Hui’s.
Seeing no reply, he released her hand and walked away.
“Hey, The First Annoying Guy, you still haven’t told me—do you have any way to fix Hanjie’s leg or not…”
Rui Hui stood frozen for several seconds before snapping out of his cryptic words and racing after him.
…
The details of the car crash were soon uncovered.
The individuals who were hunting Dan Hanjie were hired assassins, all now dead.
No identification documents or clues were found at the scene to reveal the true identities of the deceased.
The prime suspect was Dan Yi, who had already been taken into custody by the police under charges of commercial fraud.
But without evidence, even the police could do nothing.
After giving her statement, Qin Youxuan left the hospital.
The expansive VIP ward suddenly felt empty.
