CHAPTER 1035: CHAPTER 1035: TOMBOY OR GODDESS (1)

Moses gently shook his head, and the nurse came over, placing the tray in her hand on the table and picking up a small box from it.

"This is something we found in your clothes, which I carefully cleaned for you. I thought you might want to keep it as a memento. After all, it’s something quite special."

The nurse smiled as she opened the lid of the small box and handed it to him.

Moses turned his face to look, and saw that inside the small box were two coins with holes in them.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to take the two coins into his hand.

Fearing he might not understand what they were, the nurse promptly explained, "These were found in your coat pocket. To put it simply, you’re really lucky; these two coins happened to block the bullet heading toward you, reducing its forward momentum, which is why the bullet didn’t hit your heart, buying you precious time."

Moses clutched the two coins, raising his face to give her a grateful smile.

"Thank you."

One of these coins was given to him by Gan Tang, and the other by Gan Yuan.

The coin given to him by Gan Yuan, he had carried it with him for over ten years, and it had long been polished bright by his fingers, becoming a habitual object between his fingers.

Who would have thought that these two coins would be the ones to decide his life or death?

That night, the bullet happened to hit his chest, passing through the two coins he kept in the inner pocket of his jacket.

The coins had two holes pierced into them and had become somewhat deformed; it was these two coins that mitigated the bullet’s forward force, ensuring the bullet, though aimed at his heart, only grazed his skin without reaching the heart even a bit.

Otherwise, that night, not even God could have saved him.

Closing his fingers, he held the two perforated coins in his palm, gradually tightening his grip.

Years ago, he had thought Gan Yuan was his angel because it was through her that he altered his life’s trajectory.

Now he understood, it wasn’t just her but also Gan Tang; they both were his little angels...

And everything in this life should be seen as revelations from God, or perhaps, now he should rethink his life.

When he stands back up from the hospital bed, where should he go from here?

...

...

Surgical ward.

Will opened his mouth to accept a spoonful of soup awkwardly fed to him by Jessica.

Raising her hand to wipe his lip corner, Jessica took back the spoon, but the bowl was almost empty. Seeing him still looking at her with anticipation, she couldn’t help but frown.

"You’re still not full yet?"

"Of course not."

Rarely having her serve him so obediently, Will certainly wouldn’t let the opportunity pass.

"Pig! You sure eat a lot!"

Jessica scornfully cursed under her breath, placing the bowl down and standing up from the chair, "What do you want to eat, I’ll go buy it for you?"

Grumbling aside, she wouldn’t really ignore him.

Buy more?

Will glanced at the bowl on the table, quickly reaching out to stop her, "Never mind, it’s not necessary."

"How can that be, you’re in recovery now; you need to strengthen your nutrition to heal faster. I’ll be quick!" Jessica took her bag and was ready to leave.

"Jessica!" Will tightened his grip on her wrist, "Really, it’s fine, missing a few bites is okay."

"No way!"

"I am full."

"Didn’t you just say you weren’t?"
