Shi Su heard the footsteps but could not see clearly through the door. Thinking that it was her daughter, she opened the door and saw the man standing outside.
Shocked, before she had time to scream, she subconsciously took a step back. However, her foot slipped from her hurried movement, and she fell backward.
Jing Jihan subconsciously stepped forward to hold her up, but he overestimated the strength of his unhealed injured arm. As soon as he hugged the woman’s waist and pushed her out of the bathroom door with an instinctive backhand, Shi Su fell forward because of the inertia of his movements and her instability—
Thinking of the man’s injuries, she wanted to avoid him but still ended up slamming into his chest. She directly crashed onto the man, who had just woken up after five days of coma.
All this happened too quickly!
Jing Jihan really could not manage to hold her.
As they fell backward, the woman wrapped only in a bath towel pressed down on him, her head slamming against his chest, and her wet hair reaching his neck.
The sharp pain of falling to the ground felt like death again, and coupled with the force of Shi Su landing on him, Jing Jihan was unable to react at the moment. When he was falling backward, he had subconsciously reached out to hold onto the woman and clearly felt the bath towel around her body loosening. This meant that she was now lying on him without a cover…
His palm touched the warm and creamy skin of the woman.
Her delicate, white skin flashed before his eyes when the bath towel fell.
Jing Jihan turned his back toward the incandescent lamp and sensibly chose to close his eyes to ensure his safety amid the immense pain.
Shi Su quickly got up and hurriedly re-tied the bath towel around her. She grabbed her pajamas from his hand and quickly put them on. Regaining her composure, she looked down at the man on the ground, whose blood had drained from his face. Seeing that he had closed his eyes, she swallowed back the curse words she was about to spill.
“How are you? Are you okay?” Shi Su hurriedly helped him up.
Jing Jihan stood up with her support, but it was obvious that the fall had not been light. After steadying his breath, he replied hoarsely, “Your daughter is asleep on the sofa; I kindly helped bring your pajamas, but it almost cost me my life.”
She angrily helped him back to sit on the bed. “I didn’t know that it was you. When I opened the door and saw a man standing there, isn’t it already considered very good cultivation that I didn’t scream?”
The man glanced at her. “If I really plotted to do something bad, what’s the point of screaming?”
She did not bother quarreling with a seriously injured patient like him. Seeing his fragile appearance now, she knew that he did not have the ability to hurt her.
When she saw how pale and tragic his face looked, she leaned in and asked, “Are you really alright? Do I need to ask the old doctor from the clinic downstairs to come and see you—”
“It’s alright.”
Shi Su still felt uneasy and feared that his wound would bleed again. Reaching out to take a look, her hand touched his clothes, but the man directly grabbed her hand and said hoarsely, “No need to see; it’s all surface injuries. It doesn’t matter how much you look as we’ll just have to wait until everything is healed.”
Glancing at his hand, she quickly withdrew her hand. The man closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.
It was not surprising for a person who lost so much blood to get tired easily, not to mention how she had just ruthlessly crashed onto him.
Shi Su did not say anything else and just whispered, “Have a good rest”. Not caring whether he heard it or not, she walked out of the bedroom.
When she came out, she saw her daughter lying on the sofa, sound asleep, with a thin blanket covering her.
Her guard against the man was resolved at this moment.
No matter what kind of person he was before his accident, if he was so gentle and patient with a child, he could not possibly be bad.
She would let him stay if he wanted to. Anyway, he was severely injured and had no proof of identity, so he really had nowhere else to go.
She was about to hug Mianmian back to the room to sleep, but when she leaned over, she suddenly looked down at her pajamas and remembered the scene of falling onto the man in front of the bathroom door…
At that time, her bath towel had unraveled and fallen from her body. When she got up, he already had his eyes closed, so he probably… did not see anything, right…
