He thought that she was feeling uncomfortable somewhere.

He would look at her nervously and ask her where she was feeling unwell.

Lu Ning shook her head and looked at him. “I’m not feeling unwell. Bend your head down a bit.’

Huo Jinyan immediately bent down. He did not ask why and simply did as she said.

Lu Ning helped him sweep the remaining snow off his head.

She subconsciously opened her mouth to blow at his hair.

A warm breeze blew past Huo Jinyan’s ears.

Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment, but he still maintained his posture.

“Done.”

It was only when he heard Lu Nings voice that he stood up and looked at her.

Seeing that he did not move, Lu Ning raised her eyebrows in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her and smiled. How should I put it? Every time I see her, my heart flutters.

Before he could speak, someone suddenly rushed out from behind and hooked his neck.

Both of them were shocked.

Lu Ning subconsciously went forward to grab him.

“Hey!”

Before Xia Yu’an could finish speaking, the sound of Lu Ning tumbling from the wheelchair could be heard.

Huo Jinyan immediately went to help her up, but she still fell to the ground. Her face instantly turned pale, and unbearable pain flashed across her face.

Huo Jinyan frowned and quickly picked her up.

“Where does it hurt? I’ll look for a doctor!” He carried her and walked in quickly.

Xia Yu’an stayed where he was and belatedly guessed that he had gotten into trouble.

Chu Ting, who had arrived late to the scene, looked at Xia Yu’an. ‘Young Master Xia, why are you running so fast? 1 didn’t even tell President Huo that you are here; if he finds out that I brought you here, he’ll probably chew my ear off.’

Xia Yu’an turned to look at him, his expression frozen. “Well, maybe, we’ll all get chewed out.”

He had never seen Huo Jinyan so nervous. When the girl fell just now, he looked scared out of his wits.

Xia Yu’an shook his head in distress. If he had known earlier, he would not have surprised him like that.

Not only would he be scolded, but he would probably also be beaten up.

“When he hits me later, hold him back a little. I don’t want to be hospitalized on the spot.”

Chu Ting looked at him in confusion. “Huh?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of doctors and nurses rush into a ward.

Xia Yu’an turned around awkwardly and propped the wheelchair up, before pushing it to the ward.

A group of doctors and nurses examined Lu Ning.

Fortunately, it was nothing serious. She was just startled and hit her wound when she fell. It was inevitable for her to feel some pain, but it was not a big problem.

Huo Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, then sent them out.

When they passed by Xia Yu’an and Chu Ting, he went back into the ward without even looking at them.

He looked at Lu Ning with lingering fear.

“Does it still hurt?”

Lu Ning smiled at him and comforted him. “I’m much better. I’m fine.”

However, Huo Jinyan frowned and could not help but think about it.

When Xia Yu’an suddenly grabbed his neck just now, he could clearly see the fear in Lu Nings eyes.

He knew that Lu Ning could not forget something like that in such a short period of time, but he was afraid that she would always remember it and be afraid for the rest of her life. This seemed to have become her stress reaction; usually, she looked fine, but when she was scared, she would be even more frightened than before.

Gu Chen often gave her some psychological treatment in this aspect, but it was actually very ineffective. Lu Ning seemed to have sealed her heart and locked that memory In a box. she wanted to forget It, but every time she was frightened, the box would open by itself, and all the images would appear in front of her. These were out of her control.

Huo Jinyan looked at her calm expression and actually hoped that she would

cry..
