Jiang Zheng's neck wound was treated promptly. He needs to rest and is expected to wake up tomorrow.

Cen hope didn't dare tell Yu Ping about this. If she and Jiang Guoliang found out, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, and might even come all the way from Jiangcheng tomorrow morning.

Jiang Zheng's two teammates were also present. After confirming that Jiang Zheng was out of danger, both grown men had tears in their eyes.

"Thank you, Dr. Cen."

This happened suddenly. They traveled from Jiangcheng to Beijing to cooperate with the Beijing police in arresting a suspect from another province.

Everything was going smoothly until the suspect suddenly put up a desperate resistance, which led to this incident.

Cen hope put her hands in her pockets, her eyes showing a slight weariness, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.

"It's what I should do."

Even if Jiang Zheng were just her patient, she would do everything in her power to save him, not just because he was her brother.

A gurgling sound suddenly came from my stomach.

Cen hope was immediately a little embarrassed.

She hadn't eaten dinner, and now that she was completely relaxed, hunger immediately surged up.

Jiang Zheng's two teammates also heard this and quickly said, "Dr. Cen, you go eat first, we'll take care of things here."

Cen hope glanced back at Jiang Zheng, who was still lying unconscious in the hospital bed with a bandage around his neck, and nodded in agreement.

Once I left the ward, all the tension in my body finally eased.

Only then did her hands begin to tremble.

No one knows the panic and fear she felt when she saw that the person lying on the stretcher was Jiang Zheng.

Fortunately, she managed to save him.

It was getting late, and she had long since finished her shift. With her two teammates in the ward, Cen hope felt a little more at ease. She planned to go back to Jingtang Garden to wash up first.

After all, I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and it's not a good idea to just keep going like this.

When we returned to Jingtang Garden, it was still early.

She took the elevator up to a quiet house, where food was still warm on the dining table, indicating that someone was waiting for her.

Cen Xi stood in the living room, looking back and forth with a puzzled expression.

Why can't I see anyone?

The thought had barely formed in her mind when she heard Ace's bark. It was perched on the balcony, very sensitive to her scent, and immediately became excited upon smelling it.

He ran over to Cen hope with a bouncy gait.

Cen hope is no longer afraid of Ace getting close. When Ace ran over, she subconsciously squatted down. Ace also obeyed and obediently lay down at her feet, letting her reach out and touch her head.

For some reason, Cen hope sensed a hint of ingratiation in its obedience.

Did Ace cause trouble?

As she was thinking, she saw Aunt Fang also come out of the kitchen.

She prepared some fruit for after the meal, intending to send it to Cen hope, but unexpectedly, Cen Xi returned on her own.

Aunt Fang quickly put down the fruit and desserts she was carrying and said in surprise, "Madam, you're back?"

Didn't we say we were going to stay in the hospital tonight?

Cen hope nodded: "I'll come back and wash up."

She'll most likely have to go back again, since Jiang Zheng is in the hospital in Beijing, and she's his only family member there. She's definitely worried about him.

"Why is Ace being so obedient today?"

While stroking Ace's head, she asked Aunt Fang curiously.

Aunt Fang was both angry and amused. She had caused a huge disaster tonight, so how could she not listen? If she didn't listen, she would be expelled from Jingtang Garden.

"It unpacked your entire package."

Aunt Fang explained that it took an hour to clean up the packages scattered all over the floor.

Cen hope then remembered that the package Yu Ping sent to her from Jiangcheng had indeed arrived today.

Since they're all old things anyway, there's no reason to get angry.

She playfully patted Ace's head, feigning displeasure, and said deliberately, "If you open packages randomly again, I won't give you any treats."

Ace blinked its big, round black eyes, obediently lowered its head, and let out two soft whimpers.

"Madam, your deliveryman has tidied up your bedroom."

Aunt Fang then spoke again.

Cen hope stood up. "Okay, I'll take a shower first, and then come out to eat."

After saying that, she walked towards the bedroom.

Aunt Fang swallowed the words she was about to say. She wanted to say that Mr. Shang was also in the bedroom, and after he put those things in the bedroom for her, he hadn't come out again.

She seems to be in a bad mood.

Judging from Aunt Fang's words, Cen hope knew that Shang Hanzhou was also at home at the moment, but she naturally assumed that, according to his habits, he must be in his study right now.

So much so that he pushed open the bedroom door.

She paused for a brief half-second when she saw the man sitting silently on the sofa.

He was in the bedroom?

The bedroom lights were off, but the light wasn't dim. The curtains weren't drawn, and moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft glow on the man's broad back.

His facial features were divided into two sides by the light and shadow, making his expression difficult to discern.

Cen hope's heart tightened slightly. She stood there for a while, then turned on a small light, which dissipated much of the dim atmosphere.

She stepped inside, but Shang Hanzhou didn't look up in her direction.

The atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Cen hope touched her nose, realizing she should give an explanation for her sudden return.

Thinking it over, she took the initiative to speak: "I'll come back and wash up."

As she spoke, she walked towards the bathroom, and as she passed the sofa, she continued, "Brother Jiang Zheng is injured and in the hospital, so I have to go to the hospital to take care of him later."

"And what about me?"

A deep, husky voice picked up where she left off.

Cen hope was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard.

What does that mean?

She was a little confused, so she looked down at him and finally noticed that, hidden in the dim light of the night, were his red-rimmed eyes.

...Did he cry?

Cen hope was somewhat uncertain.

Why would Shang Hanzhou cry?

She must have misread it.

She pursed her lips and continued patiently, "Brother Jiang Zheng is seriously injured. He is bleeding from his carotid artery and is still unconscious. He doesn't know anyone in Beijing and is lying alone in the hospital. I'm worried about him."

"I'll be taking care of him at the hospital for the next few days, so I'll be back a little later."

Every word she uttered spoke was of another person, the one she liked, revealing obvious care and concern.

Shang Hanzhou's hand, which was gripping the envelopes, suddenly went limp.

His eyes reddened again.

Jealousy consumed his reason and self-control.

He is her husband!

They are husband and wife!

The thread of reason snapped completely in his mind, and the pink envelopes he had clutched for hours and read over and over again finally fell to his feet.

Cen hope lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on the envelopes that were already crumpled beyond recognition, and his brain seemed to buzz several times in a row.

envelope.

love letter.

The love letters she secretly wrote to him, which she never dared to send, were now in his hands.

Has he seen it?

A strong sense of shame, mixed with panic, instantly overwhelmed me.

Cen hope's hands and feet were stiff, and her brain was numb. She didn't even know what expression she should make at this moment.

Did he realize that she liked him?

So she had this cold attitude from the moment she walked in.

She overstepped her bounds; they had agreed to treat each other with respect, but she deceived him from the very beginning.

Her lips moved uncontrollably up and down, and her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. She felt so uncomfortable and scared that she reflexively felt acid reflux in her stomach and wanted to gag.

What should she do?

What will he do?

"sorry."

She heard her own pale, weak voice.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her throat tightened: "I didn't mean to lie to you."

If possible, she also hopes that they can live a life of mutual respect and courtesy, just as they initially agreed.

She was too stupid; she didn't hide it well enough.

Cen hope turned her face away, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. She whispered, "If you're willing, we can get a divorce tomorrow."
