Chapter 1050: Never Give Up
When Mu Anhan saw the scar on his head, her heart softened.
He had given so much for her, for the child.
Now that he was injured, he was ill, how could she still hold so many grudges against him?
She believed that one day, he would certainly get better.
She could now soothe him, comply with his wishes, and keep him away from the abyss of pain.
"I’m willing."
She nodded at him and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.
She was wearing such a beautiful nightgown, originally for him.
When her crystal-clear, jade-like skin was displayed before his eyes, without a trace of blemish, like a fine piece of mutton-fat white jade, it captivated his gaze.
Even after five years of marriage, Mu Anhan still felt a bit shy.
They hadn’t been this intimately together in a long time, especially at this moment, this intimacy was different than before.
When she saw the subtle change in his gaze, she felt it was worth it.
Gu Xiaozhan’s eyes were no longer bloodshot.
Seeing her beauty at that moment, his gaze completely changed.
She was pristine, without any traces left by another man, she was his.
He hadn’t touched her.
He was just observing her inch by inch with his eyes, missing no detail.
He seemed to be surveying his possession, forbidding her from being tainted by anyone else.
This feeling wasn’t pleasant.
Mu Anhan felt he was somewhat unfamiliar, yet familiar.
He was clearly him, yet it seemed like he wasn’t him.
She instinctively hugged her arms, only to be scolded by him: "Let go!"
She looked at him, somewhat alarmed, "Have you seen enough?"
"The back," he ordered expressionlessly.
Mu Anhan: "..."
Her heart was struggling.
On the one hand, she didn’t want to endure such humiliation, but on the other, she felt sorry for his condition.
She wanted to just leave, but felt it would be irresponsible.
If she completely obeyed him, she felt as if she were a plaything, at his mercy.
"I won’t say it again." The man’s anger seemed to rise again.
Mu Anhan got up, turned around, with her back to him, allowing him to proceed.
As his cold, temperatureless gaze fell upon her, she felt like it wasn’t the familiar him.
After who knows how long, she asked him, "Are you done?"
"Yes," Gu Xiaozhan answered.
Mu Anhan picked up the nightgown from the sofa and put it on, feeling so cold, instinctively curling up on the sofa, holding herself tight.
Even doing the most intimate thing with the person she cared about most, she didn’t feel the slightest happiness.
Instead, she felt a heartache, and her body was particularly uncomfortable.
But she knew, Gu Xiaozhan was also in a lot of pain.
To change all of this, she had to rely on her own efforts, and of course, most importantly, time.
Gu Xiaozhan opened the wardrobe, took out the clothes he needed to change into, and prepared to take a shower.
As he passed by her, he placed his shirt over her.
Mu Anhan looked at him in confusion, he pressed his lips tight, unwilling to explain, but the meaning was clear, she could wear his clothes if she was cold.
She looked at his workout clothes, soaked with sweat, now almost dry again, and said weakly, "Go take a hot shower first! Don’t get sick."
As the sound of water came from the bathroom, Mu Anhan curled up in a corner of the sofa, lost in thought.
She knew, only by becoming stronger could she overcome all of this.
The man in the bathroom, she couldn’t give up on either...
