CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 551: HAN YI IN DANGER

He promised her they would grow old together; he wouldn’t leave them.

As long as he has a breath left, he will definitely wake up.

Doctors always say the worst scenarios just to scare people; she doesn’t want to listen. She chooses not to believe them.

She firmly believes Han Yi will wake up.

They arrived at the army hospital and brought Lin Wan into Han Yi’s private ward. He still had an oxygen tube in his nose.

His eyes, always deep and bright enough to see through everything, always so tender upon seeing her, were now tightly shut, silent and still.

Lin Wan had never seen Han Yi so lifeless before, as if he might leave at any moment.

Walking closer, she saw he hadn’t shaved for days, his face was covered in beard, and he looked emaciated.

Every time he returned from a mission, Han Yi would be a bit thinner, but he had never been this thin.

The always strong and powerful Han Yi, who supported a world for her and their daughter, was now lying there quietly, without a trace of vitality.

Lin Wan glanced a couple of times, feeling pain in her heart, a feeling that left her uncomfortable.

Xiao Wang stood aside, awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Saozi, you can stay here and talk with Captain Han first. I’ll arrange accommodation for you."

Lin Wan turned her head this time and said, "No need, Xiao Wang. I won’t stay at the guest house; I’ll stay at the hospital for these days, no need to trouble yourselves."

"Saozi, you can accompany Captain Han during the day; we have guards to take care of him at night. It’s exhausting for you to stay day and night."

"It’s okay; there are two beds in the room; I can sleep here at night." Xiao Wang saw Lin Wan insist and didn’t press further.

He just mentioned he would go to make a report to the district leaders and then return.

Lin Wan let him go.

When the room was left with just Lin Wan, she finally put down her bag, sat by Han Yi’s bed, touched his gaunt cheeks, felt his temperature, and sighed softly.

"Didn’t you say you would be extra careful each time? How come you’re so severely injured this time?" Lin Wan said, carefully lifting the blanket to check the injury on his thigh.

He’s wearing a vest with two hearts and large shorts. The left thigh is bandaged tightly, hiding the depth of the wound.

With June arriving, the weather here is likely a few degrees warmer than in S City. There is a ceiling fan in the room, but Lin Wan wasn’t sure if Han Yi could handle the breeze, so she didn’t dare turn it on.

She got up, found a basin and towel under the bed, went out to fetch a basin of warm water, wrung out a hot towel, and wiped Han Yi’s face and body to help cool him down.

The hospital room was deathly quiet for a while, Lin Wan stared at Han Yi’s unmoving eyes. She was somewhat afraid, afraid that Han Yi would never wake up again.

From the time she came back to life until now, many things have changed; she feared Han Yi’s fate might also follow suit.

Calming herself, Lin Wan held Han Yi’s hand and gently talked about recent family trivialities into his ear. Mostly about Little Star’s upcoming first birthday, "Our daughter will be one year old soon. When you left, you said you’d come back to celebrate her birthday, but now it’s almost the end of the month. If you don’t wake up, you’ll be breaking your promise," as Lin Wan spoke to Han Yi, the attending doctor came in, nodded and smiled slightly at Lin Wan "You’re the patient’s family, right?"

"Yes, Doctor, how is my husband now? Why didn’t he respond even after I spoke with him for so long?"

"The patient’s hand moved last night. He may wake up today. His physical exhaustion was extreme, and he was severely wounded, so he might wake up once his body recovers enough." The doctor patiently explained.

"Oh, I see, thank you, Doctor. Sorry to trouble you."

"It’s my duty," the doctor replied while checking Han Yi’s wound.

Only then did Lin Wan see a bullet-sized wound; it looked small, but the doctor said the bullet went deep, hitting a major artery, and he had lost a lot of blood at the time.

Lin Wan felt a pang of fear clutching her chest, unable to fathom what Han Yi had gone through.

After the doctor finished his rounds, he reviewed Han Yi’s wound recovery, saying they could remove the stitches in three days.

Removing the stitches signifies good recovery, which is encouraging news for Lin Wan.

Not long after the doctor left, an orderly led several leaders in.

Lin Wan unexpectedly met two familiar faces, Mei Lang Jun and Sister Mu Qing. This time, the mission was assigned by Mei Lang Jun, the captain, with Han Yi as the sniper, and Mu Qing was in the communication group. They were here to support a task for a strike team. This time, they captured several mob bosses.

There were many collective commendations; both Han Yi and another partner, as snipers, performed outstandingly, playing an irreplaceable role.

Included was a big shot that fled from S City to here. Their achievements this time were indeed significant. So aside from Han Yi being injured, they’re staying here for a few more days to receive local commendations.

The leaders spoke some comforting words to Lin Wan and specifically praised Han Yi for his outstanding performance.

From the leaders’ speech, Lin Wan learned that the mission was initially accomplished when suddenly a child from a nearby resident’s home appeared in the ambush zone. Han Yi got injured while saving the child.

The leaders expressed that the upper management was very concerned about Han Yi’s injury, determined to use the best medicine and doctors to ensure Han Yi’s complete recovery because he is a rare talent and they cannot afford to lose such a promising individual.

This time, the leaders specially chose to arrive when the family was present to confer Han Yi with a first-class commendation and recognition for his bravery.

In the cramped hospital room, the leaders and the soldiers involved in the mission stood formally and solemnly, witnessing this unique commendation ceremony.

Mei Lang Jun, as the mission’s captain, looked at Han Yi in the hospital bed, saluting with red eyes at the scene.

Lin Wan stood by the bed, watching all this, her eyes were red, yet they brimmed with pride.

Ai Yi, wake up quickly, wake up to see your comrades, wake up to see everyone worried about you. Look at me.

After the commendation, the leaders kindly shook hands with her, asking her to feel reassured as they had already briefed the hospital leaders. The hospital currently places great importance on Han Yi.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, smiled, swallowed the sourness in her nose, and bowed deeply to everyone, saying, "Thank you for your concern."

With the leaders present, Lin Wan didn’t have much chance to chat with the two of them. Seizing the gap, Lin Wan hurried over to greet them.

"Brother Junzi, Sister Mu Qing. How come you’re here?"

"Han Yi went on the mission with us this time, but there are still some matters to handle here, so we haven’t left yet."

"Indeed, fortunately, the mission location is near the hospital." Mu Qing was behind the scenes then, but she heard from those who returned, saying that Han Yi got covered in blood later. She visited the site herself; there was quite a large bloodstain, which gave her quite a scare. Had the hospital not been nearby, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable...

Lin Wan furrowed her brow, glancing back at Han Yi, understanding what Mu Qing meant.

Injuring the major artery, the situation could only be imagined. She should feel grateful, whether it was Han Yi’s timely hemostasis or the proximity to the hospital; otherwise, she may never have seen Han Yi again.

Mu Qing soon realized she misspoke, surely causing Lin Wan to worry again, promptly comforted her, "It’s all in the past, don’t worry anymore, now Han Yike entirely relies on your care," then whispered in Lin Wan’s ear, "Remember to keep a close eye on your Han Yi, alright?" Pointing discreetly in one direction.

Standing in that direction, it was none other than Yang Ting or whoever else. This person was truly persistent, bumping into them everywhere. How could someone of her caliber get into the hospital?

No one knows who brought her in; aren’t they afraid she might cause fatality?
