Chapter 367: Testing the Waters

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Testing the Waters

This won’t do, it’s too passive!

Rather than this, it’s better to take the initiative to verify!

Xiaoqiao suddenly sat up in bed, then carefully got out of bed and walked to the guest room.

Approaching the bedside, she heard his heavy breathing. The air was filled with the scent of medicinal liquids mixed with the smell of blood, further clouding her judgment...

That man, he had a large scar on his lower back and hip area...

Earlier, when she was bandaging him, she didn’t dare to act rashly, but perhaps now, while he was asleep, she could...

Even if she were discovered later, she could explain that she was worried about his wound, so she came to check on it...

"Mr. Ren! Mr. Ren?"

After calling out a few times and making sure he was sound asleep, she slowly extended her hand toward him...

She pulled back her hand halfway, placing it on her chest, feeling her own heart beating furiously.

Since Xiao Nian left, things had been happening one after another these days.

From the train station all the way up to today’s events...

The sudden appearance of this father and son was too unusual.

And every single time, Mr. Ren’s timing was just too impeccable!

Both from China, with their children around the same age, and not denying that he was looking for his wife...

If Gu Hangshen’s deception was flawless, without a single loophole in his fabricated identity, that would make her more suspicious.

If it were Gu Hangshen, deceiving her would be a piece of cake, there was no need to make everything seem so coincidental.

The more he spoke the truth, the more unrestrictedly he asked questions that could even be considered sensitive, the more she was inclined to believe him.

His voice was different, the scent on him was different...

But, after all these years living together, her understanding of that person’s behavior and habits wouldn’t change.

The vague but persistent sense of familiarity, that unconscious letting down of guards, that sense of intimacy—even though she continuously told herself it was an illusion, she couldn’t keep deceiving herself...

Having dodged it until now, she could no longer tolerate the fear and doubt in her heart.

Her cleanly delicate hands clenched slightly and then relaxed, finally reaching out resolutely...

Gently, she pulled down the blanket, touched him, and then retracted her hand in shock.

Why was his body so hot?

Xiaoqiao instinctively reached out to touch his forehead and, indeed, it was burning.

He had a fever!

What to do...

Xiaoqiao felt somewhat troubled as she struggled with what to do next.

First, she had to confirm whether he was Gu Hangshen before deciding whether to save him or not!

If he wasn’t, then he was her lifesaver!

If he was, then why...?

If he was...

He had found this place, deliberately concealed his identity to get close, and even brought his son along, but what for?

And his son came with him!!!

This thought suddenly flashed through her mind!

Xiao Nian might truly be her precious child... Xiaoqiao felt overwhelmed by this revelation, pushing all other thoughts out of her mind.

So, in this moment, she completely overlooked Gu Hangshen’s purpose, feeling a blind hope that even if he were Gu Hangshen, it could be a beautiful thing!

Xiaoqiao reached out eagerly with her hands...

There it was, smooth, without any scars.

She judged the direction, correct, it should be on the other side.

Thus, Xiaoqiao leaned slightly and reached over to touch the other side.

However, the scar seemed to be lower down, in a very awkward position—was she going to have to pull down his pants to check?

With this thought, Xiaoqiao’s face turned red, her body temperature nearly matching that of the man with the high fever in the bed!
