In fact, since Lu Dingning came back, he has been looking towards the operating room frequently, it's hard for Shu Zhilan not to notice that the child is worried about something.
"Really?" Lu Dingning seemed calm, but in fact, after she heard from Shu Zhilan that the bullet might threaten Zong Jize's normal life in the future, the crease between her eyebrows never healed.
Also because he was worried about Zong Jize in the operating room, Lu Dingning didn't even take a bite of the creme brulee that Shu Zhilan asked William to find for her.
After waiting for more than an hour, the door of the operating room finally opened.
After Dr. Mei Lin said that she treated Zong Jize well and there should be no problems in the future, Lu Dingning, who had been squatting at the door of the operating room just now, disappeared.
Because she had already gone to the side of Zong Jize who was pushed out of the operating room.
At this time, Zong Jize's anesthetic had not passed, and he was in a comatose state, while Lu Dingning was holding his injured hand tightly, and was taken to the ordinary ward just like that.
But that scene made both Shu Zhilan and Dr. Mei Lin look worried...
Zong Jize had just finished the operation and was still not awake, so he needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a while, so Lu Dingning asked William to escort Shu Zhilan back to Smith Manor, and asked him to tell Old Smith that she had taken Jules Port. It can be regarded as a satisfactory explanation to Old Smith.
As for herself, of course she stayed with Zong Jize and took care of him.
When Zong Jize woke up, Lu Dingning was staring at him in a daze, so she noticed when Zong Jize moved.
"How do you feel?" Lu Dingning stepped forward immediately.
"It's okay." The anesthesia has passed, so Zong Jize doesn't feel so good now.
But when he woke up and saw Ning Ning's face, Zong Jize felt that the pain seemed to have eased a lot.
"You are not allowed to act like this in the future." Lu Dingning's words smacked of reprimand. But she didn't let go of Zong Jize's hand.
From this point, Zong Jize could guess that his Ning Ning loved him dearly.
But if God gave Zong Jize another chance to choose, Zong Jize felt that he would still use his body to block the bullet for Lu Dingning when he found out that old Clive shot at Lu Dingning.
Because losing Lu Dingning is equivalent to losing the whole world to him...
"Will you drink water?" Zong Jize's complexion was not so good, which made Lu Dingning very distressed. So after Lu Dingning said this sentence, he directly skipped this topic.
But Zong Jize, who was being asked, just stared at her, Lu Dingning, without saying a word.
"I'm asking you something! What are you looking at me for?" Lu Dingning, who waited for quite a while before Zong Jize said anything, was visibly agitated.
"I just think you're pretty, and I want to take a closer look." When Zong Jize said this, he never took his eyes off Lu Dingning.
But what he said made Lu Dingning's expression unspeakably awkward.
Because Zong Jize, whom Lu Dingning was familiar with, was quite a restrained person.
During the time they were together, they had done a lot of intimacy, but so far Lu Dingning has not heard any love words from Zong Jize.
But after being shot today, this man who doesn't talk much about love suddenly said these things, which made Lu Dingning wonder whether the part where this guy was shot today was mistaken by Dr. Meilin, it should be the brain.
But considering that this guy had just finished the operation, Lu Dingning didn't pay attention to his abnormality, and just got him some water and liquid food according to Dr. Meilin's previous instructions.
"Ningning, tell me about your past." After the meal, Zong Jize who was lying on the hospital bed muttered again.
To this, Lu Dingning only said: "It's time for you to sleep."
After all, Lu Dingning just felt that her past was embarrassing and had nothing to say.
And Zong Jize seemed to know that she was deliberately changing the subject, and dragged her who was standing to one side to sit beside his bed.
"I slept a lot today, and I can't sleep now. Ningning, tell me about your years in Country F..."
There was a little hope in Zong Jize's eyes.
He knew that Lu Dingning didn't like those pasts, but he still wanted to know something, as if in this way he could participate in those years before Lu Dingning.
And Lu Dingning, who heard Zong Jize's words, lowered his eyes for a while.
The overly long eyelashes were like two small fans, blocking her eyes and making her look a bit dim.
She didn't speak, and Zong Jize followed suit, waiting patiently.
I don't know how long it has been like this, but when Zong Jize was about to give up and asked him to turn off the lights in the ward and sleep together, Lu Dingning finally spoke out.
"When I first came here that year, my mother had been working in a small town, and I was sent to a nearby grandmother's house. There were several male grandchildren in the grandmother's house, and they always bullied me..."
When Lu Dingning said this, he kept the posture of lowering his eyes as before.
She thought that this should be able to cover up the sadness in her eyes, but she didn't know that her tone, which was obviously hoarse than before, had already leaked her emotions.
"Later, my mother met Old Smith, and then they planned to get married, and my long hair was cut into this ghostly way. Later I learned from my mother that she knew that I was The granny’s house is always bullied by boys, so I hope I pretend to be a boy temporarily so that I don’t have to be bullied.”
But when he was talking about this, Lu Dingning suddenly let out a chuckle: "But my mother doesn't understand, what really makes me bullied is not my gender, but my hair and eyes are different from people in this country. Same……"
There was a trace of sadness in that provocative laughter.
When Lu Dingning was talking about this, Zong Jize seemed to see a miniature version of her pitiful appearance hiding in the corner after being bullied, and the scene of her secretly crying because her beautiful long hair was cut off.
"Later, I plundered everywhere in order to inherit the Smith family, and I didn't even let go of my stepbrothers, so I became a frightening stepson!"
As for how she plundered other people's things and fought for the succession with her stepbrothers, Lu Dingning still didn't mention a word.
But Zong Jize, who heard Lu Dingning's hoarse voice that didn't look like hers, already realized that for Lu Dingning, it was really cruel for her to recall that period of the past.
So when Lu Dingning said this, Zong Jize had already used his uninjured arm to press Lu Dingning to his side and lay her face against his chest.
"Ningning, all this is over. From now on, you will no longer be alone..."
In the years to come, regardless of life or death, he, Zong Jize, will be by her side.
