Huo Shao Ting could empathize with her feelings because she had experienced darkness.
He himself had also experienced darkness, and fully understood that feeling of anger.
"I just want you to protect yourself. I'm here for you, not just them."
As the couple was talking, there was a knock on the ward door.
An Feiran: "Rong."
"It's sister."
Rong Dai was pleasantly surprised and quickly got up from the bed.
"Sister is like me, we... Shao Ting, so I couldn't tolerate it yesterday."
She explained to him.
Although Huo Shao Ting had mentally prepared himself earlier, he was still shocked upon confirmation.
If it was an isolated case, he could accept it.
But with so many instances, wouldn't that cause chaos?
However, this was not the time to discuss this, since these were Rong Dai's family members. He couldn't show them such an attitude.
He got up, put on his coat, made the bed, motioned for Rong Dai to rest on the bed, and went to open the door.
An Feiran's injury was on her shoulder blade, and she had undergone surgery overnight, but it didn't prevent her from getting out of bed and walking around.
The moment she woke up today, she wanted to see her younger sister.
After so many years, spanning two different eras, she couldn't bear to wait any longer.
Before yesterday, she had been holding back, even at the scene, she didn't dare expose herself.
But Rong still recognized her, and she didn't even dare to call her "Rong." After all, it was the bond of kinship that allowed Rong to recognize her.
"Mr. Huo."
An Feiran knew Huo Shao Ting was there, so it wasn't unexpected that he answered the door.
Huo Shao Ting looked at her, a strange glint in his eyes.
It seemed like some things could be explained...
"Elder sister, please come in and sit down. You're injured."
Rong Dai grew anxious seeing the two of them blocking the ward entrance.
It was only then that Huo Shao Ting made way, allowing An Feiran to enter. Seeing that Rong Dai was unharmed, she finally felt relieved.
"Never be so reckless again. No grudge is worth more than your life, understand?"
An Feiran caressed Rong Dai's hair with one hand, her gaze as gentle as before.
Rong Dai leaned into her embrace, obedient like a little girl: "I understand, elder sister."
"This isn't a suitable place to talk. Let's continue at the hotel."
Huo Shao Ting also had many doubts in his mind. Seeing the sisters wanting to have a private conversation, he spoke up to stop them.
An Feiran glanced at Huo Shao Ting. She knew this person, of course.
She just didn't know much about him. She knew him from what he had said.
She didn't know how he had been in the past three years either.
"But elder sister is injured..."
"The wound is well-treated, and there's a traveling doctor with me."
An Feiran shook her head, unwilling to take her eyes off Rong Dai for a moment.
After so many years apart, the sisters had so much to talk about.
"Then I'll go check on Song Xuechun first."
Rong Dai nodded, then got up from the hospital bed.
An Feiran accompanied her to see Song Xuechun. Yesterday, if the shot hadn't hit Song Xuechun, it would have been aimed at Rong Dai's head.
Song Xuechun's injury was much more severe. Although she had been rescued, she was still lying in the ICU, with Zong Che keeping watch outside.
"You must let me know when she wakes up."
Looking at Song Xuechun through the window, tubes inserted all over her body, An Feiran still felt guilty even after killing Shi Ning.
Zong Che nodded, and the sisters left the hospital with Huo Shao Ting and returned to the hotel.
After entering the hotel, Jing Cheng carefully inspected every nook and cranny. Only then did Rong Dai pull An Feiran's other hand and sit down: "Elder sister..."
"Before Ms. An and my wife talk, there's something I should explain first."
Huo Shao Ting interrupted Rong Dai and took a photograph from Zhang Assistant, handing it to Rong Dai.
