He felt puzzled. He had been injured saving her, yet she hadn’t come to see him? Even out of moral responsibility, she should have come to check on him.
“Before I arrived, she was here, but then for some reason, she suddenly left…” At this point, Xu Kuanhou was also perplexed, unable to understand why she had left without a word.
“She left?” Kang Yansheng’s heart instantly sank into a bottomless abyss, cold and deep.
While he was still in the hospital bed, not yet fully conscious, she had left without hesitation?
“Dr. Kang, are you alright? You look terrible,” Xu Kuanhou asked in surprise.
“I’m fine!” Kang Yansheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his disappointment, and then asked: “Did she say anything before leaving?” Even a simple wish for him to recover would have comforted him.
“She only said she didn’t believe…” Xu Kuanhou briefly recounted her last conversation with Ji Mengtang. “She seemed to not believe that you loved her, suddenly turned and ran away, and never came back.”
“This fool! Why doesn’t she believe?” Hadn’t he been willing to give his life for her? Wasn’t that enough to prove his love?
“I must find her!” He wanted to express his love to her face to face!
He forgot about his fractured right foot and hastily tried to get out of bed, which pulled at his injured leg, causing him to grimace in pain.
“Dr. Kang!” Xu Kuanhou rushed over to push him back onto the bed. “Have you forgotten about your fracture? At least wait until you can walk before looking for her!”
“Damn!” Kang Yansheng frustratedly glared at his injured leg, resenting its uselessness at such a crucial moment.
He wished he could sprout wings and fly to her side, to explain everything and make her understand – besides her, he could never love another woman in this lifetime!
After a month of recuperation, Kang Yansheng’s leg finally healed. As soon as he could walk, he immediately went to Ji Mengtang’s residence and her known friends’ places to find her whereabouts.
