After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

You really think I’m throwing coquettish glances for the blind to appreciate?

Was that tomato juice drunk in vain?

Giovanni Nanni guessed what was happening and stepped in to help Huang Kaiwen out, saying, ”Taking photos is fine, but as you can see, Kevin is seriously injured and after we get back, we must strongly condemn the attacker.”

The two reporters were nodding their heads like pecking chickens.

They took their cameras and vigorously snapped photos, even giving special attention to the ”bloodstains” on Huang Kaiwen’s clothing.

Felt like enough was enough.

Tom Hanks performance mode activated.

Huang Kaiwen shakily tapped on the stretcher, drawing everyone’s attention.

His hoarse voice said, ”No, don’t blame him, players... getting injured is part of football, no, don’t blame him.”

After saying it,

Huang Kaiwen’s head tilted to one side.

No more sound.

”Kevin!!!”

Bodyguard Neo aggressively pushed the two reporters off the vehicle.

The ambulance wailed as it rushed in the direction of the hospital.

...

”Why are you crying, you saw the checkup results, I’m fine, aren’t I?”

Huang Kaiwen hugged the young lady with tearful eyes and softly comforted her.

But the young lady just cried without saying a word.

Huang Kaiwen was really at his wits’ end.

How about you just change into black and put on a veil while you’re at it?

Huang Kaiwen had no choice but to hold the young lady and let her cry it out.

About half an hour passed,

before the young lady finally stopped crying.

”How about you stop playing football?” the young lady suggested with reddened eyes.

Her throat was hoarse from crying too much.

Huang Kaiwen was both touched and amused.

So, am I supposed to live off a woman for the rest of my life?

Retiring now would be too early, even the guys on Hupu typically retire at 35.

”Stop joking!”

Huang Kaiwen firmly patted the young lady and said, ”If I don’t play football, what else can I do? If a person just stays idle, they become useless.”

Besides,

he only plays one or two matches a month.

An annual salary of 6 million euros, plus a bunch of endorsement contracts, meant he could make more than 20 million euros a year.

There’s no job as easy and lucrative as this besides football.

”But you keep getting hurt when you play, and I don’t want you to be injured,” the young lady stated stubbornly.

”It’s fine, honey, look, I’ve always recovered from every injury,” Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

”What if next time you get hurt and can’t recover, then you’ll end up crippled!”

Huang Kaiwen felt a chill run down his spine.

The young lady made a very reasonable point.

But you can’t always reason with women.

Huang Kaiwen hugged the young lady tightly and rubbed his stubble against her cheek, saying, ”If I become crippled, you can take care of me.”

”I will take care of you!”

The young lady huffed, clearly emotional.

Her nasal voice was higher than the alcohol content of Jiang Xiaobai.

Huang Kaiwen quickly grabbed two tissues from the bedside table, wiped her nose, and joked, ”See, are you dirty?!”

The young lady slapped Huang Kaiwen’s arm, buried her entire face in his chest, and rubbed vigorously in vexation, saying, ”I think you’re the dirty one.”

The two laughed and horsed around for a while.

They were both hungry.

Fortunately, the private hospital had a dedicated chef.

They ordered some food, and there was even a decent vintage of red wine.

After a rest, Huang Kaiwen and Barbara freshened up and prepared for bed.

There was a knocking at the door.

Knock knock.

Huang Kaiwen couldn’t help but frown.

On second thought,

this late at night, whoever it was, they must have had a reason for knocking.

”Come in,” Huang Kaiwen said.

As the hospital room door slowly opened,

a travel-worn face appeared.

Seeing Huang Kaiwen sitting up in bed just fine,

Kaka’s eyes widened, and the things in her hands clattered to the floor.

The next second,

Kaka rushed towards Huang Kaiwen with delight, exclaiming, ”Kevin, you’re okay!”

Huang Kaiwen smiled and patted Kaka on the shoulder, seeing the young lady pouting and sobbing, he said, ”No crying!”

Unexpectedly, with that remark,

Kaka looked up a bit sheepishly, wiped the corner of her eye, and said, ”I’m not crying, just got sand in my eye.”

Huang Kaiwen wrapped an arm around Kaka and sat down, embraced the young lady with the other arm, and asked, ”It’s past midnight, how did you get back here, Ricardo?”

Kaka was just too awesome.

Even after the private jet had left, she managed to return to Milan City.

Kaka said with her sunny smile, ”I wanted to give it a try, so I flew to Berlin; to my luck, there was a flight from Berlin to Milan.”

The young lady listened and visibly grimaced.

Huang Kaiwen sighed deeply.

In just a few words, he could feel Kaka’s hardship.

Truly worthy of being his good brother.

”What about the others?”

”Everyone’s at the hotel, waiting to come back tomorrow.”

”Ricardo!”

Huang Kaiwen, massaging his temple, said, ”Although I wasn’t injured, the situation was really dangerous at the time, and that foul was way out of line, don’t you think?”

”Yeah!”

Kaka nodded earnestly, ”He did it on purpose.”

”So, he should be punished, right?” Huang Kaiwen asked.

”Yes! Fahrinhearst must face severe punishment.”

Kaka nodded again in agreement.

”Now that you’ve said that, I feel relieved. After discussing it with Barbara, we’ve decided not to leave the hospital just yet. Don’t tell anyone else about my condition, you should understand what I mean.”

”Got it, I understand.”

”Alright then,” Huang Kaiwen stood up and fetched some toiletries for Kaka, adding, ”It’s the middle of the night; there’s no need for you to go home, just sleep here, there’s plenty of space.”

Kaka took the toiletries and went to the bathroom.

When she came out, she saw Huang Kaiwen lying in the big bed cuddling with Barbara.

Then she noticed the blanket on the sofa.

Kaka felt she might have been too hasty in agreeing to stay.

The next morning,

Kaka quietly left the hospital room.

Though she hadn’t heard any strange noises,

the atmosphere in the room didn’t seem quite right for her.
