"No need to thank me. These are what we medical staff should do. We're just doing our bit," Dr. Chen said with a sincere smile.
"Still, thank you. Although I'd like to see you again, I hope it won't be in the hospital," He Ting knew the doctor was a kind - hearted person. After all, this was a military hospital, which was indeed somewhat different.
"Okay then! I wish you good health. Let's never meet again in this situation," the doctor didn't expect He Ting to be like this and smiled.
"Good health!" the other medical staff echoed.
"Thank you all!" An Ke looked at them curiously. These medical staff were unexpectedly cute.
"We're finally back. Are you tired? Go to the room and rest first. I'll tidy up here. Your body has recovered, but you still need to rest," An Ke looked at He Ting with concern and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He Ting knew An Ke cared about him, but he felt bad leaving all these things for An Ke to sort out. "No, you've been taking care of me all these days. I've seen it all. Let's go and rest together!" He Ting directly grabbed An Ke's hand and pulled her into the room.
An Ke originally wanted to struggle, but then gave up because she was really tired and needed a rest.
"Okay, but these will be your jobs later," she said.
He Ting laughed and stroked An Ke's hair. He felt that An Ke was becoming more and more relaxed in front of him. This discovery made him extremely happy.
He watched An Ke walking back and forth and couldn't stop smiling. He knew An Ke took care of him probably because she was worried about him.
This was already good enough. He was confident that he could make An Ke fall in love with him again. This was a good opportunity.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Just as An Ke was about to open it, He Ting stopped her.
"Don't move. I'll do it," He said and casually opened the door. Yuan Ping came to visit He Ting with some things. As soon as he saw An Ke, he just glanced at her and walked in.
An Ke knew he didn't like her, so she didn't go up to him. Instead, she went upstairs to really tidy up He Ting's room, leaving some space for them.
"Brother, how are you? I've finally found some time to come and see you. I feel really bad that I couldn't help you much," Yuan Ping said.
He Ting was speechless looking at Yuan Ping's complaints. He was just getting along well with An Ke, and Yuan Ping was completely ruining their progress.
"Just go. Don't come and bother me when you're free. I'm busy," He Ting pushed Yuan Ping, urging him to leave quickly.
Yuan Ping didn't expect He Ting to be so heartless. He had come to see him so eagerly. Well, as long as He Ting was happy.
"Brother, I hope you'll be happy," Yuan Ping left this sentence when he was leaving, which completely messed up He Ting's mind. Could a person like him ever be happy?
He Ting sat on the sofa blankly, lost in thought, not knowing that An Ke was as shocked as he was at this moment.
An Ke saw that there were many photos of herself under He Ting's pillow. They must have been often looked at by He Ting, as there were many marks on them. An Ke's mind was in a whirl.
Subconsciously, she opened the bedside table beside the bed and found a lot of sleeping pills, as well as many empty bottles. It was obvious that the owner had taken a great deal of them.
Only then did she truly realize that perhaps these three years had also been a kind of torture for He Ting.
Night fell. He Ting was full of thoughts and didn't know how to start. An Ke was the same. They sat opposite each other in silence.
"I'll go back to my room first," He Ting said and left.
An Ke nodded absent - mindedly and then suddenly realized that she hadn't put everything back in place. He Ting would surely know that she had seen those things.
An Ke didn't dare to delay and quickly followed He Ting upstairs.
"What are those on your body..."
It turned out that when He Ting returned to the room, he didn't turn on the light because he was used to groping in the dark. By the time An Ke came up, he had already taken a shower.
An Ke turned on the light and saw the hideous scars on He Ting's back. Those marks were not from ordinary injuries. He Ting had been self - harming.
She couldn't believe it. In her impression, He Ting had always been high - spirited. It turned out that he had also had a tough time in these three years.
"These are all the proofs of my love for you. I've been regretting every moment in these three years. I used to think your love for me was fake. I'm sorry, An Ke. I didn't deserve your love back then," He Ting originally didn't want An Ke to know, but he knew he couldn't hide it anymore.
Three years ago, he and An Ke loved each other deeply. But he was too over - confident and blind to see the love in An Ke's eyes. He only believed the information he had found.
He was convinced in his heart that An Ke was just trying to deceive his feelings, so he didn't hold back. But soon he realized his mistake and regretted it.
It was too late. Everything couldn't be undone. He was immersed in regret every day. In order not to go crazy, he started self - harming.
This could ease his guilt and help him remember better. "Now, this almost decaying me, do you still like me?"
An Ke didn't know what to say. Once missed, it was missed. No matter how much they said, they couldn't erase the mistakes He Ting had made to her. But could she really be heartless?
"Okay, don't think too much. Go to sleep," An Ke didn't answer. She left after saying good night.
During these days, although Bo Jinnian had been trying to forget An Ke by not looking for her, he still wasn't used to her absence.
However, he always reminded himself to get used to it. Fortunately, he had a lot of things to deal with this time and didn't have the heart to think too much.
Unfortunately, the busyness was short - lived.
He now had a long period of time to think about his relationship with An Ke. Should he choose to give up or continue to get closer to her?
Bo Jinnian had always been hesitant. An Ke was the only woman he loved. If he could give up easily, he wouldn't have fallen in love with her in the first place. But was it still necessary for him to persevere?
Now, he was about to return, but he still hadn't made up his mind. He was still a bit hesitant about whether to see An Ke or not.
"An Ke, have you been okay recently?" Bo Jinnian still couldn't resist. As soon as he came back, he habitually came to look for An Ke. At first, he felt a bit regretful.
