Though she was a patient herself, Shen Ruo voluntarily became a caregiver, as Gu Kai's injuries were more severe than hers. She would come every day to chat with him, care for him, even though her caring was limited to peeling apples for him, pouring water.
But just doing these simple things for him made her very happy and content.
Gu Kai didn't refuse her care either, lying in the hospital bed chatting with her about anything, occasionally reading the newspaper, handling documents. Their lives together were very harmonious, so harmonious that it seemed problematic.
After recuperating for nearly half a month, Shen Ruo had almost fully recovered. Gu Kai, having a robust constitution, had also healed by fifty or sixty percent, able to get out of bed for walks, managing his own daily needs.
That day, as usual, Shen Ruo came to take care of him, peeled an apple for him, and couldn't help but say, "I have something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead."
