Chapter 171


    Ethan just shook his head at Erica, "I''m good, I won''t be able to sleep even if I go back now, I''d


    better stay in the ward. Don''t worry, I can take care of her."


    Seeing Ethan so insistent, Erica breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "In a few hours the doctor


    will do the rounds, they might arrange for Izzy to have an IV, you need to take good care of her."


    Ethan nodded in response and Erica tucked Ines in, feeling reassured, she left.


    When Ines woke up, she found her hand being held by a warm hand, a touch that she was familiar


    with.


    Opening her eyes, she saw Ethan looking at her with concern, "Ethan, howe you''re here so


    early?"


    "With such a big thing happening to you, of course I had toe early. Do you feel ufortable


    anywhere?" Ethan caressed Ines''s face.


    Ines shook her head and gave him a reassuring smile, "I''m good, feeling much better now."


    Ethan frowned, which Ines didn''t like. She reached out to touch his forehead, but identally pulled


    her wound, causing her to wince in pain.


    "Izzy, don''t move. Just lie down and rest." Ethan reprimanded her, holding her down gently. Seeing


    her like this, he felt extremely distressed.


    "Then you stop frowning. How many times have I told you, frowning makes you look old." Ines


    red at Ethan.


    Ethan, unlike his usual self, didn''t get angry at Ines'' agement, instead heughed. In a good


    mood, he nodded, "Alright, I won''t frown."


    Ethan''s reaction made Ines want tough, but considering her wound, she held it back.


    Ethan kissed her hand, "Are you hungry? I can have some food brought over."


    "I''m not hungry, I don''t have much of an appetite right now. I''ll let you know when I want to eat."


    Ethan nodded, his eyebrows furrowing instinctively, but remembering Ines'' words, he held back.


    Inesughed, "Alright, Mr. Meyer, it''s not like I''ve contracted some incurable disease. You look so


    down in the dumps, it''s making me ufortable. Can you cheer up a bit?"


    "You''re like this, how can I be happy?"


    "What am I like? I think I''m quite lucky. I''ve been talking about wanting a baby recently, but thinking


    about it now, it''s scary. If I had this ident while being pregnant, I probably wouldn''t be able to


    save the baby. So this is the best oue." Ines tried tofort him.

    Ethan stared at Ines, and after a while, he rxed, "You really know how tofort yourself."


    Ines shook her head, "Our lives are already full of unhappiness. If we can''t figure out how to live our


    lives well, then wouldn''t we be even more miserable?"


    Ethan knew Ines was saying this to keep him from feeling sad and guilty. Feeling her good


    intentions, Ethan tried to rx, "Mrs. Meyer is right."


    At ten in the morning, due to the Meyer family''s status, the head surgeon and relevant experts


    personally came to check on Ines. After re-examining her wounds and finding nothing abnormal,


    they reassured Ethan, "Mr. Meyer, don''t worry. Mrs. Meyer is doing well. There''s no infection at the


    wound. After a few days of IV and stitches removal, she can be discharged."


    Ethan nodded, "She doesn''t want to eat anything right now. Will it affect her condition?"


    "It''s not a big problem. The patient may not want to eat due to emotional changes. Try to feed her


    some easily digestible liquid food for these three days. After discharge, give her some blood


    enriching foods, take care of her body, and she can recover as before."


    The doctor''s conversation with Ethan was in front of Ines. She couldn''t help but ask, "Doctor, will my


    condition affect my ability to have children in the future?"


    "Mrs. Meyer, don''t worry. It won''t have any impact. You just had a spleen injury, it did not hurt your


    uterus, it won''t affect you at all." The doctor replied with a smile.


    Upon hearing the doctor''s words, Ines waspletely relieved.


    As soon as the doctor left, Aaron arrived. He was surprised to see Ethan, but nodded at him and


    walked into the hospital room. He put the nutritional supplements on the cab, "Izzy, are you


    feeling better?"


    "You don''t have to worry about me, I''m not in any serious condition, and I don''t feel ufortable."


    Aaron nodded, saying gently, "That''s good."


    Ethan saw that it was hard for Ines to talk lying down, so he patiently adjusted the bed and helped


    her sit up slowly on the pillows, then left the room, giving them some space.


    Ethan''s behavior surprised Aaron. He knew Ethan''s character well, his possessiveness was strong.


    The fact that he could do this showed that he had learned to respect Ines. Ines knew that this was a


    way for Ethan to show respect. He was a person who knew how to appreciate others. When it was


    time to give back, he would do his best. Aaron saved her, so he was willing to do this.


    Ines nced at Aaron''s arm, but he was wearing clothes, so she couldn''t see anything, "How''s your


    arm?"


    Aaron shook his head, "It''s just a minor wound. Nothing to worry about."


    "Well, try not to get it wet and avoid spicy food, as they''re not good for your wound''s recovery." Ines


    instructed earnestly.


    Aaron smiled, he liked Ines'' straightforward concern, "Ok, I''ll keep that in mind."


    Their interaction reminded them of the time when they were working together. Whenever one of


    them was unwell, the other would always show concern. But they were not nagging types, they


    didn''t say much, but the sincerity in their words made the other feel it clearly.


    "Thank you," Ines said out of the blue. She knew that if Aaron hadn''t been by her side today, her


    injuries would have been much worse.


    "Izzy, we don''t need to get all mushy on each other," Aaron looked at Ines seriously. "Don''t get me


    wrong, I''d say the same to Ethan or anyone from the Meyer family. It''s not like I''m treating you as


    some outsider, this is just how I express my feelings. Don''t overthink it." He''d been so considerate


    of her despite her previous coldness, and she really appreciated him for that.


    "By the way, what''s the scoop with the firm?" Ines still had thew firm on her mind.


    "The SFC formallyunched an investigation into Huner Corporation this morning. The firm is also


    the subject of the investigation. The situation is not optimistic, and it will go bankrupt sooner or


    later."
