Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Do You Still Hate?

Young Master Yan made another call to the driver at the scene of the car accident, understanding the exact situation at that time in detail.

According to the driver, a taxi had suddenly changed lanes, causing him to swerve his car forcefully into the central guardrail. The car was severely damaged on the driver’s side. He and Zhu Qianying suffered from similar injuries to their arms and heads. While waiting for the traffic police to arrive, he had his wounds treated at a nearby clinic.

Later, Young Master Yan spoke with Ke Kai on the phone for a while and instructed him about a few matters before returning to the clinic.

The little boy was still hugging Zhu Qianying around her waist. The sight of the mother and son leaning on each other made Young Master Yan think of the phrase, "each other’s lifeline".

If Zhu Qianying hadn’t sent their son back, this could very well be their future.

But now and in the future, he would be the strongest support for this mother and son. However, Young Master Yan was keenly aware that if Zhu Qianying hadn’t sent their son back, today’s incident wouldn’t have occurred.

With a heavy heart, Young Master Yan walked over and softly hugged Zhu Qianying from behind.

"Doctor, is there anything she needs to pay attention to next?" he asked.

Zhu Qianying’s wounds had been cleaned and no longer looked as horrifying as they initially did, flesh and blood intermixed. Though blood was slowly seeping out from her newly cleaned wound, Zhu Qianying insisted against getting stitches, and Young Master Yan reluctantly respected her decision.

"We’ll have to give Lady Yan a tetanus injection in a while. Then, depending on your preference, Young Master Yan, she can either be admitted to the hospital for observation, or she can be prescribed some antibiotics, painkillers, and external medicine to take home and recover."

The fact that the doctor agreed to let Zhu Qianying recover at home implied that her injuries were not too severe.

"Doctor uncle, will my mommy’s wound leave a scar?" The little boy’s concern seemed to be quite different from an adult’s.

"That depends on how well your mommy recovers. However, even if there is a scar, it can be removed by surgery, so Young Master doesn’t need to worry."

The little boy frowned, stood on tiptoes and looked a few more times at the wound on Zhu Qianying’s hand, "Mommy, what if there is a scar?"

Her wound still hurt terribly, and Zhu Qianying didn’t feel like talking much. However, seeing her son’s worry, she forced a smile and said.

"Even if there is a scar, it wouldn’t matter. After all, mommy isn’t a vain little girl, it won’t be an issue."

The little boy immediately pouted and spoke with a note of distress, "If mommy hadn’t got hurt protecting me..."

Upon seeing her son like this, Zhu Qianying hastened to comfort him with her uninjured hand.

"Silly boy, mommy was just teasing you. Didn’t the doctor uncle say that there wouldn’t be any scars? You’re mommy’s favorite person in the world; she would naturally protect you! When you grow up, you have to protect mommy too, alright?"

Young Master Yan, who was standing behind them, was pained and heartbroken, guilt overwhelming him.

He let go of Zhu Qianying’s shoulders and bent down to lift their son.

"Baby, it was daddy’s fault. If daddy was there, mommy wouldn’t have been hurt! Daddy promises you that he will protect you and mommy well in the future!"

Although Ke Kai said that the traffic police had ruled it as a regular traffic accident, Young Master Yan had instructed him to look more closely into the taxi driver involved.

Even though the traffic police had provided reasonable explanations and sufficient evidence, he still couldn’t accept their verdict.

He had always believed that the incident had something to do with the Zhu family and the Zhu family.

However, prior to this, he genuinely thought that after all the lessons he gave to the Zhu and Zhu families, such personal attacks would stop. But the reality was far from what he had hoped.

It seemed that he was just being too soft-hearted!

The little boy, his eyes red, hugged Young Master Yan’s neck. From the look of him, he didn’t seem to be blaming him.

"Daddy, did they catch the bad guy?"

He did not know the cause of the car accident, but he seemed to have already concluded in his mind that the reason his mommy was injured must have been because of a ’bad person’.

"Yes, Uncle Kai has gone to catch him. We’ll catch him very soon!" Young Master Yan assured with certainty.

With this, the little boy finally felt a bit more at ease. He leaned quietly against his shoulder. It wasn’t clear what he was thinking about, but judging from his trembling body, he seemed to still be caught up in self-blame and sadness.

After her hand was bandaged and the injection administered, Zhu Qianying still insisted on not staying in the hospital. Considering the safety of the mother and son, Young Master Yan did not force her and instead accompanied them home.

The Yan Family had their family doctor, so it would be more convenient for them to be cared for at home.

Since everyone intentionally kept it a secret, the three elders only found out about Zhu Qianying’s injury after they had returned home.

No one dared to ask too many questions, only advising her to quickly rest in bed.

The little boy insisted on staying with Zhu Qianying. As no one knew how to handle him, they let him lie down next to Zhu Qianying.

Having been frightened and secretly crying for most of the day, the little boy was tired. Not long after he laid down, he fell asleep.

The three elders suggested that Young Master Yan take the little boy to Chen Jing’s bedroom next door, after which they tactfully left.

When Young Master Yan returned to Zhu Qianying’s side, he found her lying in bed with her eyes closed. He could not tell whether she was asleep or merely feigning sleep.

He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to touch her forehead, and found her temperature to be normal. He let out a small sigh of relief.

Zhu Qianying hadn’t fallen asleep. She was just closing her eyes to think. When she heard someone coming in, she could tell from the sound of the footsteps that it was Young Master Yan.

The closer he got, the more clearly Zhu Qianying smelled the faint scent of cigars. Apparently, he had been smoking one earlier.

Zhu Qianying had always known that Young Master Yan smoked, but she had never seen him do it in person.

This man, although he often appeared unpredictable and quirky in front of her, was indeed someone who could maintain his calm remarkably well.

Rarely did he let others see his true emotions, especially negative ones like nervousness or fear.

Zhu Qianying didn’t feel like dealing with him. So she kept her eyes shut and pretended to be asleep until she felt his presence getting closer, and the bed sank slightly under his weight.

His big hand covered hers, as always, providing her with a sense of security and warmth.

His fingertips stroked her forehead and the corner of her eyes before finally stopping on her face.

A few nights ago, she had been worried about him all night because of his nosebleed. Now, the roles had reversed. It was his turn to be concerned about her injuries.

Zhu Qianying had to admit that she had felt a strange satisfaction earlier in the hospital when she saw his tense and guilty expression.

This kind of enjoyment, which was like a form of revenge, hit her unexpectedly, leaving her utterly confused.

She had always thought that leaving five years ago had ended it all and that she neither loved nor hated Young Master Yan any longer.

Hatred was too energy-consuming, so Zhu Qianying never bothered to hate anyone.

This included the Zhu family members and Young Master Yan.

Could it be that she still held hatred towards Young Master Yan?

Did the sense of pleasure come from her hatred?
