The man sitting on the hospital bed maintained his characteristically somber expression, but at this moment, it seemed he was fiercely suppressing something, rendering his face particularly ghastly, like the tense calm before a storm.
Unconsciously, the man's long, distinct fingers started to involuntarily grip and tighten on the edge of the blanket, with veins faintly bulging on the back of his hand.
Assistant Xue's gaze fell upon his own Boss, but upon seeing the unmitigated coldness on that handsome face, he felt his breath tighten. Yet, with a glance from Lu Jingchen, Assistant Xue knew he had to respond to Zuo Yuqing's question.
