Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The 5_1 She Doesn’t Know

He Zhilan was truly upset. If it wasn’t for Gu En’s extra comments in front of her, He Teng’s injury might have been concealed from her.

Thinking about it made Zhilan both angry and heartbroken—angry that He Teng didn’t cherish his own body and heartbroken over his suffering.

Watching his petite wife standing in front of the hospital bed, chastising him angrily, she began to cry. He Teng felt helpless, he didn’t want Zhilan to know. He was afraid that she would worry unnecessarily and also feared that it would affect her studies.

However, He Teng felt that his impression of Zhilan had vastly changed over the past month. In a short period of time, the Zhilan who was once afraid of him, was now scolding him with displeasure.

He Zhilan cried a little upon seeing He Teng still appearing calm and unperturbed, and she soon stopped. Despite his severe injuries, she couldn’t find a trace of worry or helplessness on his face. It seemed like injuries were as common to him as having a meal.

He Zhilan truly knew nothing about He Teng’s past, the only thing she knew was that his body bore many scars, both big and small. The most noticeable one was the thumb-long scar on his lower back. These were all injuries he’d endured but he’d never spoken a word about them.

"I’ve taken a leave of absence from school. I’ll return once your injury has healed, and you’ve returned to the army." He Zhilan took the initiative to discuss her plans regarding her studies. "With no one to take care of you, even if I were to return to school, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate."

"The hospital will arrange a nurse for me. I just moved here last night, and they haven’t had time to arrange one for me yet. The nurse will arrive by this afternoon at the latest. Once the nurse arrives, you can go back to school. I’m not disabled and in need of 24-hour care."

While He Teng was speaking, Bian Muhe happened to walk in with some other doctors and nurses. When He Teng finished talking, Bian Muhe picked up the conversation. "Zhilan, why don’t you listen to your husband and go back to school? How about this? You attend school during the day; the caregiver stays here to take care of your husband, and you come to the hospital after class."

Bian Muhe pointed to a man in his forties, "This is the caregiver arranged by the hospital. He’s been in this profession for a long time, has a good temperament, is very responsible, and experienced. Furthermore, either Xiulin or I will always be here in the hospital. What are you worried about?"

The middle-aged man smiled at Zhilan as he noticed her looking at him. Zhilan acknowledged him with a nod and had no choice but agree to return to school as He Teng insisted.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Bian Muhe and several other doctors began to inquire about He Teng’s physical condition. When they noted that his condition was stable, they left, leaving Bian Muhe in the ward.

"Zhilan, come here. There are some things I need to tell you." Bian Muhe called Zhilan over, handed her a set of keys, and said, "These are the keys to my single-room dormitory. Keep them safe. Although your husband can’t eat now, in a few days he should be able to have some soup. You can buy some ingredients from the market near the hospital and cook in the dorm kitchen before bringing it here. I’ve never used the kitchen, but all the kitchen utensils should be there, Xiulin used to experiment a bit when she was in a good mood. But after two unsuccessful attempts, she stopped."
