Chapter 1298 Silence Here, But Better Than Sound

• Jeffrey Xander was genuinely scared by Su Zihan's recent experience. It was a different kind of nervousness compared to the mistakes he made as a child or the tricks played on him by his fourth uncle. This feeling was unfamiliar yet impossible to ignore. It was as if an invisible force was pushing him into an unknown and urgent territory, leaving him trembling with fear and restlessness. It was like falling from a great height, desperately reaching for something to hold onto but finding nothing.
• This feeling was unsettling for Jeffrey Xander, who was used to being in control and challenging himself as a doctor. Today's experience shattered his calm and made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. The moment he entered the room and saw Song Wenhua lying in a pool of blood, his heart raced with fear. He was afraid that he would witness the same situation again, something he couldn't bear.
• Even though it was later confirmed that Su Zihan was safe and sound, the lingering fear remained, refusing to dissipate. It wasn't until he held Su Zihan in his arms, feeling her presence, that the uneasiness in his heart was somewhat comforted. Before meeting Su Zihan, Jeffrey Xander believed he had empathy disorder and resigned himself to a lifetime of loneliness. But he never expected that a woman could become his weakness and make him question his own resilience.
