Chapter 20 - She Can Only Depend on This Male Nurse Now (2/2)

The man froze and the next second, a harsh voice said, “Miss Xu, I’m Fu Chen.”

She frowned with doubt and thought, ‘Is he really Fu Chen?’

The hospital staff came quickly. The window was broken and the floor was covered with splinters of glass. So Xu Zijin had to move to another ward.

She felt uneasy in unfamiliar surroundings. Although she tried her best to hide her nervousness, she couldn’t restrain herself anymore when Fu Chen was about to leave. She caught his arm and refused to let him go.

“Please don’t go…” Xu Zijin couldn’t stop trembling, as her voice was full of panic. “Don’t leave me alone.”

She knew it was ridiculous to ask this male nurse, who was almost a complete stranger to her, for help. But after death of her parents and child, she had no one to turn to, no one to talk to. Now she had no home, no family and nothing. The only person she could turn to for help was Fu Chen who always treated her kindly.

Fu Chen turned around and looked down at her. She looked weak and fragile with her eyes wide open in horror, which needled his heart. He gently patted her on the back and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I just want to get some medicinal liquid from the nurses. You grazed your knees just now. The scrapes should be treated in time.”

Xu Zijin lowered her head, her long hair falling around her shoulders. The shadow masked her face. Her knuckles were white as she gripped a corner of his coat.

Fu Chen gave a helpless sigh, sat down beside her and reached out to press the call bell placed alongside the bed.

The nurse quickly came to the ward. She applied medicine on Xu Zijin’s knees and told Xu Zijin some dos and don’ts before she left the ward.

There were only two people left in the ward.

Fu Chen led her to the bed, helped her lie down and tucked her in. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down. “Close your eyes, and have a good sleep. I will always be there for you.”

‘Really? He will always be there for me…’ she thought to herself.

She felt the familiar breath of Fu Chen. His harsh voice miraculously soothed her and gradually exorcized her feelings of panic and terror.

Xu Zijin finally regained her composure but by then she was no longer sleepy at all.
