Ghost Shadow strode towards An Zhiyuan’s Intensive Care Unit with large steps.
Head held high, chest out; his presence was as fierce as a rainbow.
The doctor named Bai was actually this kind of Bai doctor – they had never imagined it.
They never realized that their own daughter-in-law could be different, that she could protect them.
Upon entering the ward, Bai Xiao was seen preparing a basin of warm water, gently cleaning off the dried blood from An Zhiyuan’s body. His limbs, face, the bloodstains being removed bit by bit – it was tough work for Bai Xiao as An Zhiyuan remained unconscious, still not awakened from the anesthesia. The gaze of Dr. Bai upon An Zhiyuan was interpreted by Ghost Shadow and his group as a declaration of deep affection.
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this work? Let us do it, let us – just sit down and rest a while," they insisted.
Several burly men scrambled to help, pushing Dr. Bai aside. Hot water and fruit were placed before him, "Dr. Bai, you eat. Just stay by Captain An’s side, that’s enough. Whatever needs doing, just tell us. What are we here for? Specifically to take care of our captain."
This made Bai Xiao laugh and cry at the same time. What was all this about?
"Actually, there’s no need to be so polite. I can manage on my own. You all have work to do, so get to it. I’ll handle these things, and besides, An Zhiyuan is my husband – taking care of him is my duty." Bai Xiao felt pain for An Zhiyuan.
Who could have imagined Bai Mei would do such a thing, it was utterly insane.
She didn’t treat people like people. That’s why Bai Xiao truly wanted to lay hands on her.
Of course, she wouldn’t kill Bai Mei, but Bai Mei had better be prepared to spend her life in prison from now on.
She was ready to visit Bai Mei when she had the time, to let Bai Mei’s injuries worsen further, to wait for what life would bring her.
Dragging a frail and sickly body, she didn’t believe Bai Mei could have a fortable life in prison.
If it was a cycle of vengeance without end, then let it remain unbroken.
She did not believe in these karmic ties. Having seen through them in her previous life, if there truly was karma, Bai Mei and her ilk had already sown the seeds in their previous life – and she was here to reap the fruit.
"Sister-in-law, we don’t have any missions today, no training either. Let us do the heavy work, you just sit down!" Each of them was quick and efficient, smiling at Bai Xiao, their smiles as bright as the sun and as soft as a spring breeze.
"What on earth are you trying to do? Really, there’s no need for such politeness," Bai Xiao was still confused.
"Dr. Bai, those people are yours, right? You’re really something!"
Ghost Shadow couldn’t help himself; it was the first time he had encountered such a tough woman. In his eyes, who was Dr. Bai?
She was his boss’s wife, and in his mind, he believed he had met a true heroine among women.
It was then Bai Xiao realized: these guys probably saw her as a hero of Liangshan who stood up for the oppressed.
"I really don’t know those people! It was just a chance encounter – they stepped in to help. If it weren’t for them, Captain An and I might both be dead now." Bai Xiao lied through her teeth.
How could she not feel awkward, when these rades were indeed surrounding her with adoration? Try it for yourself, see if you can remain posed.
Ghost Shadow had more to say; he was eager to express his admiration for her, which flowed like the vast Yangtze River.
An Zhiyuan conveniently woke up, cooperating with his wife’s narrative.
He groaned softly.
Bai Xiao was at An Zhiyuan’s side in a flash, holding his hand.
"Big brother! Are you awake?"
Ghost Shadow and the others swarmed to the bedside.
"Captain, you’re awake!"
