The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1336

Chapter 1336: 651 Scheming Xiao Hen (First Update)_2

Last time she had bandaged him, he seemed to be able to react slightly to the outside world through his fingers, but the progress wasn’t as significant as today.

Gu Jiao could be certain that the Duke was improving.

Although she didn’t know whether his improvement was due to Miao Ruoxin’s treatment or something else.

But his physical and neurological reflexes were still very poor, a consequence of brain injury; whether he could speak again or fully recover was something Gu Jiao couldn’t yet determine.

Gu Jiao packed the used cotton swabs and silver needles in a separate purse, and after tidying the First Aid Kit, she planned to get off the carriage.

As soon as she moved, she felt a slight tug.

Looking back, it was the Duke’s trembling fingers that had somehow caught onto the hem of her clothes.

It was strange that she, who could easily push a door bolt out of place, was held back by such a trivial force.

She frowned curiously.

Then she looked at the Duke and asked, "Is there somewhere else you’re uncomfortable?"

The Duke could not speak; he just held on without letting go.

Gu Jiao gave him another check. His strength was nearly spent, his fingers were trembling, but he still clung on with his last bit of strength.

Gu Jiao didn’t quite understand this phenomenon; was it just an irregular muscle reflex?

After thinking for a while, she took a candy from the First Aid Kit, opened the Duke’s palm, and placed the candy in his grasp.

...

After the Cuju competition ended, the players left one after the other, and the spectators gradually dispersed as well.

Xiao Hen wasn’t fond of crowds, so when three female classmates suggested returning to the Academy, he let them go ahead.

"Strange, you were so eager coming here, so why aren’t you in a hurry to leave? Don’t tell me... you’re planning to secretly meet someone without us knowing?"

One of the female students asked gossiping.

Xiao Hen didn’t even glance at her and just carried on drinking his tea.

The female student pursed her lips, "Humph, he’s ignoring us. Let’s go!"

"And to think after sitting with her for a day our relationship would be different."

"As if she’d notice us."

The three of them muttered and rolled their eyes as they walked down from the stands.

Little Jingkong grasped the railing of the stands with both hands, pressing his little head against the gaps, sighing heavily.
