When Lu Yanjue saw this, he immediately ended the call with Pei Yan and walked over.

Jiang Ruoli, lying on the bed, didn't know how long he had slept.

All she knew was that the moment she opened her eyes, her head felt as if it was about to split apart, and her body felt heavy as if it were being crushed by a huge rock, causing her extreme pain.

At this moment, a clear and gentle voice sounded in my ears.

"Don't move, you are still injured."

Then, someone gently held her shoulders.

Jiang Ruoli was dazed for a moment before he could see clearly the person next to him.

It’s Lu Yanjue.

That handsome face was full of concern!

Jiang Ruoli was a little confused at first. What was happening to him?

It was not until the dizziness and pain in my head faded away that I remembered what had happened before.

So now... this is in the hospital?

She soon saw the IV drip at the bedside and couldn't help asking, "Did...Mr. Count save me?"

Her voice was hoarse and weak.

When Lu Yanjue heard this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He raised his hand, took the cup, and fed her some water with a straw.

Then, he said softly, "No, a passerby found you, and I only found out later... I'm sorry for letting you go through that alone."

When Jiang Ruoli heard this, the dangerous situation he encountered at that time unconsciously emerged in his mind.

Her body shook subconsciously, but the fear in her heart remained.

Those speed racers attacked him like crazy.

At the moment of the car crash, she saw death so close to her!

Lu Yanjue saw through it, patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay now. I have people arrest those who hurt you, and I won't let any of them go. Don't think about anything else. What you need to do now is to recover from your injuries."

Perhaps it was the man's steady voice that made her feel at ease, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

Jiang Ruoli nodded.

She stared at Lu Yanjue for a while before she slowly spoke, "Mr. Earl, you don't have to apologize. This is not your fault... I'm just unlucky."

I was so unlucky that I happened to meet a group of criminals.

Seeing that she was like this and was still trying to comfort herself, Lu Yanjue felt mixed emotions.

He spoke almost gently, "It's my fault for not protecting you, but I won't do that again in the future. You just need to get better soon."

Jiang Ruoli was a little confused.

How come Mr. Count said 'you'?

Is that wrong?

She just thought he made a slip of the tongue and didn't think much about it. She just asked about her condition, "What is my current condition and what did the doctor say?"

Lu Yanjue said truthfully: "The car accident caused you to have a severe concussion, several broken ribs, and some scratches, and a lot of blood... However, it shouldn't leave any serious injuries. I will make you healthy again."

He didn't say anything about the child for now, wanting to wait until she felt better.

She is still too weak now, and I am afraid that if I tell her, she won’t be able to accept it and will be upset.

After Jiang Ruoli heard about his injuries, he had an idea in his mind.

Concussion, just stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, as long as there are no sequelae, it's not a big deal.

These scratches on the body are not a big deal. They just need to heal and should not leave scars.

But with broken ribs, I would need to lie down for at least four or five days, and it would probably take another two or three months to fully recover.

Jiang Ruoli didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Then...will I be late for the graduate school assessment next month? I'm sorry...I feel like I'm letting you down for all your help."

Jiang Ruoli felt like crying but had no tears when he talked about this.

That was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, but the opportunity was missed!

When Lu Yanjue heard this, he was obviously stunned, and then he found it a little funny.

It's already this time, why are you still thinking about this?

He really couldn't help it, so he bent his fingers, tapped her forehead, and said softly: "Why are you thinking about this? The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. You were injured this time, and your qi and blood are depleted. Is life more important, or is work more important?"

Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but whispered: "They are all very important!"

Scientific research is what she has been pursuing since she was a child, and it is almost as important to her as her life.

Lu Yanjue looked at her stubborn expression and felt helpless, so he said, "If you miss it, you will miss it. There will be more opportunities for assessment in the future. You don't need to spend this little time. With your ability, you will be able to get in sooner or later."

Jiang Ruoli thought so too.

But I still feel a little regretful in my heart. If it could be earlier, I would still like to do it earlier.

After all, I don't want to waste time.

But now that I’m in this situation, I can only wait until everything is ready before preparing for the assessment.

She hummed lightly.

Seeing that she was unwilling to give in, Lu Yanjue had no choice but to give in. “If you recover from your injuries obediently, I can consider giving you some special treatment during your recovery period. When I’m sure you have enough ability, I’ll let you enter the core area directly.”

Jiang Ruoli's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?"

Lu Yanjue smiled and said, “Yes, really!”

Jiang Ruoli immediately raised the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "You must keep your word and cannot go back on your word!"

Lu Yanjue smiled, and said helplessly: "Well, I said, I will never regret it!"

Jiang Ruoli was very happy.

Perhaps it was because of her emotional fluctuations, she felt dizzy, obviously the sequelae of a concussion.

She frowned instantly.

Lu Yanjue also noticed it and immediately asked: "How do you feel? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Ruoli closed his eyes and took a while to calm down before saying, "It's okay, I just feel dizzy and my abdomen... hurts a little... But it's okay, it's normal!"

"let me see."

Lu Yanjue was worried and checked her personally.

After checking, he confirmed that Jiang Ruoli was indeed suffering from sequelae, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He said softly, "If you are tired, just go back to sleep. I'll be here with you."

Lu Yanjue moved very gently as he leaned over to help her pull up the quilt and cover her.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the person beside the bed. He had a handsome face and gentle eyes. The way he tucked the quilt in for her was full of tenderness.

Compared with him, I don’t know how ugly I look now.

Why is it that he always sees me when I’m at my most embarrassing moment?

But every time, he was the one helping himself and taking care of himself.

How can you not be attracted to such a person?

Especially when I was hurt or feeling uncomfortable, I selfishly didn't want him to leave.

She longed for such warmth, and also longed for the sense of security that came from having him by her side.

It seems that as long as he is around, I don’t have to be afraid of anything and I feel especially safe.

Jiang Ruoli was struggling with himself in his heart, his mouth slightly opened, wanting to say, if you are busy, you can go and do your work, you don't have to stay here with me.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

"what happened?"

Lu Yanjue noticed her gaze and asked softly.

Jiang Ruoli came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, just... I feel a little uncomfortable."

Seeing her in so much pain, Lu Yanjue felt sad too.

But he couldn't help her share any of the burden, so he could only comfort her: "Then you should continue to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, the dizziness should be relieved."

Jiang Ruoli said "hmm" softly.

Then, close your eyes.

Lu Yanjue was beside the bed, helping her put her hands under the quilt.

The man's fingertips were very hot, with some thin calluses, and the warm temperature kept coming over.

Jiang Ruoli was in a trance and did something that even she herself did not expect. She suddenly hooked her fingers around his hand...
