Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Let go of this Girl (2) _1

He was gentle, full of care and... something else Xia Wan’an couldn’t decipher.

His hand lingered on her neck, the pads of his fingers ceaselessly caressing her, making her somewhat uncomfortable. Just when she considered avoiding him, he suddenly spoke, suppressing a rollercoaster of emotions, making his normally gentle voice sound oddly captivating, "Does it still hurt?"

Does it still hurt?

The first thing that flashed across Xia Wan’an’s mind was, it sounded like a question a boy would ask a girl during their first time.

Immediately realizing her thoughts had strayed, she hastily shook her head to discard the unsuitable imagery in her mind.

Seeing her reaction, Han Jingnian assumed she was indicating that it no longer hurt, and his heart, which had been hovering uneasily for days, settled a little.

He didn’t rush to withdraw his hand but stared at the deepest bruise on her neck for a while. Guilt and an apology flashed in his eyes, and he moved his lips, "I’m sorry."

I’m... I’m sorry?

Was he talking to her?

Xia Wan’an shook her head twice, verifying she was the only one in the room before daring to look at Han Jingnian.

Although he quickly concealed his emotions, she still caught a glimpse of the guilt that flashed across his face... guilt?

Only then did Xia Wan’an realize what Han Jingnian was referring to with those words.

He was asking about the bruise on her neck... so when his fingers were rubbing her neck, she felt like he was conveying something else, an... apology?

Xia Wan’an suddenly remembered something. Zhang Te had told her earlier in the morning that he didn’t know what had happened to Boss Han, but he had pinched his own hand until it was horribly bruised...

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Han Jingnian’s bandaged hand.

Could it be... because he had almost strangled her to death in the dark due to his uncontrollable emotions, that he was like this now?

But why... why would he do that?

Xia Wan’an could strongly feel the shock in her heart and the surge of emotions.

Because she was in a coma with a high fever, he’d been antagonizing the doctor and causing trouble in the hospital. Because of one word from her, he’d immediately apologized to the nurse... what did all this mean?

Could it be... could it be... that he cares for her?

As this thought flashed through Xia Wan’an’s mind, her hand violently trembled.

Han Jingnian... cares for her... Han Jingnian cares for Xia Wan’an... this was something she wouldn’t even dare to imagine in her dreams... had she gone mad? To dare entertain such a thought... it had to be her overthinking, yes, she must be letting her imagination run wild!

With that, Xia Wan’an forcefully shook her head.

"What’s wrong?" Han Jingnian frowned at her unusual behavior, thought she had a fever, and reached out to feel her forehead.

"No... nothing..." Afraid that Han Jingnian would see through her thoughts, Xia Wan’an didn’t dare meet his eyes.

Because of her panic, her slightly drooped eyelashes trembled violently, and a corresponding trembling ran through her lips.

Observing the situation in front of him, Han Jingnian suddenly felt his mouth was dry, his eyes locked onto her and slowly began to heat up, and he unconsciously leaned his face closer to hers...

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, the door to the ward was suddenly flung open.

A figure dashed to the bedside like the wind, pulled her away from him and cried out, "Let go of her!"
