Gu Lichen answered the phone. After listening for a moment, his expression changed. "What did you say? Uncle Su is missing?""Yes. You know as well that he always asks patients to come to the clinic for treatments. He called me out of the blue today and said that he's going out to see a patient. It might take a long time, so he didn’t want me to worry. However, I can't get through to him when I call him!" Dr. Su's wife talked to Gu Lichen anxiously on the other end of the line.Dr. Su and Gu Lichen were very close and they saw each other a lot, so the Su family had Gu Lichen's contact information."See a patient?" Gu Lichen narrowed his phoenix eyes."Lichen, do you think Uncle Su was kidnapped because he offended someone?" Mrs. Su thought pessimistically.However, Gu Lichen thought the other way around.If Ling Yiran had not been taken away by Yi Jinli, today would have been when she needed to undergo the second treatment for her fingers!'Is it possible? Could it be Yi Jinli w
"Sorry, Dr. Su. I didn't expect... him to bring you here either," Ling Yiran said awkwardly.However, Dr. Su did not ask any more questions. After all, at his age, he naturally knew that there were some questions he should not ask.Therefore, he just spread out the tools he had brought with him and asked Ling Yiran to hold out her right hand.The various needle knives reminded Ling Yiran of the pain she felt the last time she had the treatment, and it made her tremble.Just when Dr. Su was about to insert a needle knife into the back of Ling Yiran's hand, Yi Jinli immediately grabbed Dr. Su's wrist. "What is this for?""Treatment, what else is there?" grumbled Dr. Su. He hated being interrupted like that during his sessions."If you're using needle knives for the treatment, why not anesthetize her first?" asked Yi Jinli as he frowned."If I anesthetize her, I can't get a clear reaction from her fingers. I need her most natural reaction for the treatment!" said Dr. Su.Yi Jinli
After all, she had scratched Gu Lichen last time."Let... Let go..." When Dr. Su was changing his needle knife, Ling Yiran said to Yi Jinli, "I'll end up scratching you when I’m in pain.""So what?" Yi Jinli raised his other free hand and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Gu Lichen can get hurt for you, but I can't?"Ling Yiran froze immediately. However, before she could speak again, Dr. Su's needle knife stabbed her again.'The... The pain is so bad…'All she could do now was clench her teeth and endure the pain.A new layer of sweat quickly broke out on her forehead again, which had just been wiped dry earlier. Beads of sweat kept running down her cheeks.Yi Jinli just stared at Ling Yiran. Her fingernails were constantly scratching and digging into his flesh because of the pain. However, he seemed to feel no pain even when there were obvious bloodstains on the back of his hand.Or rather, all he cared about was Ling Yiran right now.Her face was full of pain. She
He only knew that she had suffered a great deal in prison, but seeing her in such pain now gave him a better idea of what she had suffered.His heart was hurting, and it seemed that even breathing was painful at the moment.He had regretted coldly imprisoning her and even tacitly consenting to those people torturing her countless times, but not once was it as intense as it was now. Yes, he was full of regret.He crouched down, raised her hand, and kissed her fingertips. "I wish I had fallen in love with you before you went to prison."His breeze-like voice sounded as if there was a lump in his throat.How he wished he could reverse time. He wanted to appear in front of her before she went to prison. He would do everything in his power to clear her name and protect her from the slightest suffering.However, it was too late now.Ling Yiran looked blankly at the man kissing her fingertips.The warmth of his lips was felt on her fingertips.Her body seemed to be burning too."Y
He would never let her down!...Dr. Su was sent back to the Su family's house.Gu Lichen came to the Su family's house almost as soon as he got the news."Uncle Su, where did they take you today?" Gu Lichen had unconcealed anxiety on his face.Dr. Su could not help sighing as he looked at Gu Lichen. Speaking of which, it was the first time he had seen him so anxious in all the years he knew the boy.This anxiety was probably because of… "Is this because of that girl, Ling Yiran?"Gu Lichen's pupils shrank immediately. "Did you really treat Yiran's hand today?" he asked.Dr. Su said, "That's right! It's the first time an old man like me was blindfolded like that! A man was accompanying that girl all the time. His last name is Yi. Is that man Yi Jinli?"Gu Lichen pursed his thin lips. "Yes, it's Yi Jinli.""Then it looks like you've met your match," said Dr. Su. 'Falling for that girl Ling Yiran, the boy will suffer no matter who she falls for.'Gu Lichen asked, "Do you know
"Ah!" Ling Yiran suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.Nightmares? Nightmares again?She gasped, and a low elegant voice rang in her ears. "What did you dream about?"Ling Yiran jerked her head up and caught sight of Yi Jinli's face.She said, "No-Nothing! Why are you in my room at this hour?""I couldn’t sleep," he said, lifting his hand to dab the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. "You're sweating a lot. More than when you were receiving treatment for your hands during the day. Did you dream about your time in prison?"She stiffened immediately, and her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at him. 'He... knows?'"You were stammering when you were asleep, so I figured it out," he said. It was because he had partly figured it out that he felt even more guilty when he saw the helpless and pained look on her face when she was asleep. Hearing this, Ling Yiran smiled wryly. She had been nearby and heard him calling for his father and mother the last time he fell aslee
At the end of the day, his heart was still in love with her."Yiran, I hope you can cherish me and me alone. I'll cherish you more than anyone else..." Yi Jinli said as drowsiness gradually swept over.Holding her hand like this made him feel secure and satisfied.After a long time, Ling Yiran slowly turned her head and looked at Yi Jinli who had fallen asleep on the floor....Ling Yiran had no idea when she fell asleep. All she remembered was that she seemed to be watching Yi Jinli's face and as she watched on… she fell asleep?It was a good thing Yi Jinli was not in the room now, and that saved her some embarrassment.Ling Yiran got out of bed and washed up. She walked out of the room and went downstairs, only to find Yi Jinli in the kitchen preparing breakfast."You're awake. Breakfast will be ready in a minute," said Yi Jinli.She looked at him as he busied himself in the kitchen. During her few days here, he did all the cooking except when he had a cold, and that was whe
"In fact... it's not that you can't love me anymore. It's just that you're afraid I'll hurt you again, right?" Yi Jinli asked softly.She had a feeling that he had seen through her. Perhaps it was like what he said. She was afraid. She was so afraid that she dared not love again."Yiran, I won't hurt you again!" Yi Jinli restrained the charm in his eyes, leaving only seriousness.Slowly rising to his feet, he walked over to her while his eyes stared at her almond-shaped eyes. "You don't believe me?"She said, "Nobody can guarantee this sort of thing." "I'll make a vow if you still don't believe me.""There's no need to..."Before she could speak, he lowered himself and knelt on one knee in front of her. His face was solemn, grave, and showed commitment. "I, Yi Jinli, swear that if I ever hurt you in the future, I'll make it up to you by tenfold. If I make you cry, then the pain will hurt my bones and burn my heart."Her eyes were full of shock. She never expected him to kneel
