Chapter 204: Chapter 204: The 9_1 She Doesn’t Know

This serves as reassurance for He Zhilan, the wife. Newly wed, her husband has been injured on a mission, which could potentially affect their future life. As a woman, she could not possibly be burden-free. Therefore, although Chen Zheng could not guarantee how the military would manage He Teng, at least for now they needed to stabilize He Zhilan’s mentality, and not let this incident disrupt the couple’s life.

"I understand. Thank you, Comrade Chen Zheng. No matter what, he is my husband." He Zhilan understood Chen Zheng’s concern and expressed her position to reassure him, then she bid him farewell.

When she returned to the ward, He Teng was already asleep. The caretaker was gently rubbing his face and arms with warm water to remove the dried blood. Seeing He Zhilan come in, the caretaker spoke, "The nurse has gone to get medicine. The medicine applied earlier did not have much effect as the wound is still bleeding. After cleaning the wound, we will need to apply more medicine."

"I understand," He Zhilan nodded. "Uncle, I’m here now, you can go rest. I need to return to school tonight. I’ll need you to take care of him."

He Zhilan took the warm towel from the caretaker, and her actions were very gentle. It took a while to gently remove the blood from his face and reveal the original wound. His cheek near his ear was so hurt that it was almost impossible to see the original skin.

Chen Zheng’s words echoed in her ears repeatedly. Thinking about He Teng’s years alone in the military, He Zhilan suddenly felt unsatisfied. How great would it be to go back to the time before her family was lost in this life. That way, she could use another way to find He Teng and ask her family to provide him with more care in the military, so he wouldn’t have to work as hard.

He Zhilan’s eyes reddened with heartache. In this world, was there anyone more foolish than He Teng? Saving Lan Li time and time again?

But, it was precisely because she knew about He Teng’s past rescues of Lan Li that Zhilan understood why Lan Li held her in such disdain.

In Lan Li’s eyes, He Teng was not just a comrade, but also his lifesaver. Hence, from the moment he first saw her, he looked at her scrutinizingly, hoping He Teng would be well off and criticizing her as He Teng’s wife, hoping she could be a woman worthy of He Teng.

But it seems, she had disappointed Lan Li. Was it because in Lan Li’s eyes, she had become a vain woman that he thought she was not good enough for He Teng and could potentially hurt him?

He Teng slept for a long time, not even waking up for dinner. He Zhilan stayed in the hospital until after eight before leaving the hospital, fearing that if she returned to the dormitory late, the doors would be locked. As for He Teng, he did not wake up even when she left.

Bian Muhe also informed Zhilan that the longer He Teng rests, the better it is for him. The body self-preserves and recovers during rest, which reassured her.

"How come you’re back?" Back in the dorm, Jiang Biyun looked surprised when she saw He Zhilan. "How’s your brother doing?"

"Um, okay, he’s been sleeping most of the day," He Zhilan replied. "My brother won’t let me take leave to look after him. He insists that I come back to class. The hospital’s arranged a caretaker for him during the day and I’ll stay with him after I finish class. Then I’ll come back to school from the hospital early in the morning for class."
