"Doctor, how is she? When can she be discharged?" Yin Helian inquired anxiously.
"She's recovering well. She should be able to leave the hospital the day after tomorrow. However, she suffered significant injuries to her head and abdomen, especially internal bleeding in the abdomen. It will take some time to fully recover; at least a month of rest is needed. She must not undertake any tasks or exert herself for now."
"I understand, I won't let her overexert herself," Yin Helian nodded, appearing the picture of a considerate man.
"Miss He, your husband is really wonderful," the doctor praised.
Husband...
The sensitive and unique term couldn't help but draw her gaze to the person beside her. Yin Helian also looked at her in tacit understanding, a mischievous smile on his handsome face, shining brightly.
Feeling flustered, she averted her face...
"The medical examination is almost done. If there are any accidents, you can press the bell to notify us," the doctor said with an ambiguous smile, looking at the two of them before leaving with the nurse.

The hospital, bathed in bright sunlight.
Yin Helian helped Helan You walk on the grass.
"There's a bench ahead, let's sit down for a while," Yin Helian carefully helped her sit down.
"Ah, being hospitalized like this every day, I'm almost bored to death."
"It's okay, you can be discharged tomorrow," Yin Helian hugged her waist tightly, "But seriously, it's too dangerous for a woman like you to be a police officer."
"What's wrong with being a woman? Can't women be police officers? Don't look down on us women," Helan You made a fist gesture.
"Oh my, please spare me, madam police officer," Yin Helian made a scared expression, making Helan You laugh. But as she laughed, her mouth gradually turned bitter.
"Actually... I'm really scared," Helan You leaned back on the chair, her gaze blurred, "When I was a child, my biggest dream was to be a good police officer. That day in the fire, I lay helplessly in the room, really thinking I was going to die. I thought of my parents, Xiao Xun, and you. I was afraid... afraid of being burned to death." In that moment, she suddenly felt that she had been very naive before, running away from marriage or becoming a police officer, all were her own decisions, and she had never considered the people around her.
Now thinking about it, it's as if she's still shrouded by the grim reaper, invaded, trembling with fear all over.
Yin Helian looked at her earnestly. Now she was like a person who had completely taken off her strong mask. He could clearly see the panic in her eyes.
"But you're okay now," the pain in his heart made him completely rely on her body into his arms, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Lian...", pressed against his chest, feeling his heartbeat, the fear slowly dissipated.
She was really getting more and more dependent on him... After Ouyang Yu, she who no longer believed in emotions indulged herself to believe in a man for the first time, and this feeling didn't seem bad.
Her fingertips brushed his hair, her eyes closed, as if only they existed in this world.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, dazzling like a flower.

The hospital, the ward, finally discharged today, Helan You got up in a good mood early in the morning and folded clothes.
Hearing the door open behind her, she turned around happily, "You're back——".
"You don't seem happy to see me," Duan Xu stood at the door, looking at her suddenly frozen face, and said with a feigned relaxed tone.
"For someone who has been scheming against me from beginning to end, do you think I can be happy to see you?" If before he was a good feeling, now it is full of vigilance. Intuitively, this man is dangerous.
Duan Xu walked over and looked at her wary eyes and really wanted to laugh, "Perhaps we can regard our acquaintance as a fate, at least you saving me is the best proof."
"But with your skills, you didn't need me to save you, and nothing would have happened that night," thinking of her foolishly protecting her these days, she felt like an idiot being played in the palm of her hand.
"But in fact, you did save me, and you are a police officer, saving and protecting me should be," Duan Xu was not angry.
Helan You angrily threw the clothes in her hand, "So you mean that if I had been burned to death in the fire that day, it should have been."
"I stopped you."
"If you had saved me, I would be more grateful," Helan You did not notice Duan Xu's suddenly darkened eyes.
"Xiao You, you are not suitable to be a police officer," Duan Xu said seriously, "After this, you should know how dangerous being a police officer is, you may sacrifice your life at any time."
"You're persuading me to go back," Helan You turned her head, "Duan Xu, at most you just know my identity, you want to get benefits from the Helan family, you can tell them my news, why bother to find trouble with me."
"In your eyes, I Duan Xu is such a person," Duan Xu frowned, "Helan You, at least I hope you understand that I mean no harm to you, the fire was purely accidental."
"I believe this, but Duan Xu, you are really too hard to fathom, perhaps it has something to do with your profession, you can't let others easily see through your thoughts," Helan You zipped up the bag, "If you really regard me as your friend, I hope you don't inform my dad of my current location for now."
"Why?" Duan Xu was inexplicably displeased: "Because of that kid and that man of unknown origin?"
"You investigated me?" Helan You was really angry.
"I care about you," originally he thought she was just living alone, until the fire that day, a child and a man suddenly appeared, and that man seemed to have a simple identity from the outside.
