Chapter 357: A Far-fetched Explanation 15

"It's fine, don't worry about me, my parents only have me as a son; even if I really have something, they won't let me come to harm, rest assured, don't worry about me." Shangguan Yun smiled gently at me.

Perhaps Shangguan Yun can do as he pleases precisely because he has such parents.

"But I don't want anything to happen to you; I'll worry about you." I said, looking at him with worried eyes.

I kept chatting with Shangguan Yun; although I had a knot in my heart, I still chose to trust him, to forgive him—even if he had really done something sorry to me, I would forgive him and tolerate what he did.

Tolerance is a lifelong lesson…

Seeing that the time was about right, I said to Shangguan Yun, "I have to go back; otherwise my mom will definitely worry about me. If I don't go back, I think she'll surely come looking for me. If she comes to the hospital and doesn't see me, that won't be good."

"All right, I'll take you back; staying in the hospital is useless anyway, it'll bore me to death, I'll discharge myself now and take you back." Shangguan Yun said while starting to get up.

Looking at his pale face, I said, "Your body is so frail, you can't be discharged; otherwise I'll get angry. I'll call Ahao to have him take me back. Besides, you're injured in the head—if there are any aftereffects, you might become foolish; who will protect me then?" Looking at his head, I said, feeling heartache.

Before Shangguan Yun could speak, I continued, "How did your head get injured?"

"Hehe, nothing, I was hit with a beer bottle. It's fine." Shangguan Yun said, pulling up the corner of his mouth in a smile.

I reached out and gently touched his head, saying, "It must really hurt." A sour feeling began to well up inside me.

I know his head injury isn't simply from being hit with a beer bottle; there must be something else, otherwise he wouldn't have been unconscious.

I know he definitely doesn't want me to find out, afraid I'll feel heartbroken. Since he doesn't want me to know, I won't ask anymore, to spare myself the pain. Besides, even if I knew, what could I do?

"Then you rest well and listen to the doctors and nurses. I'm going back now; if I have a chance tonight, I'll sneak over to see you, okay?" I said, smiling at him.
