Chapter 1140: Every Second Is Torment for Him
Jingxi lay beside, looking at mommy’s somewhat pale face. His heart ached and he asked worriedly, "Daddy, when will mommy wake up? Is it very painful to have a cut on the stomach?"
Beichen Rui glanced at him, then at the person in deep sleep, and nodded slightly, "Mm, it’s very painful!"
...
Ye Xinluo woke up, it was already early morning. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced around at her surroundings. The air was filled with the scent of disinfectant, which she couldn’t quite tolerate and furrowed her brows slightly.
Her stomach was also in severe pain. As soon as she moved her fingers, the person sleeping at the edge of the bed was immediately startled awake, his eyes slightly bloodshot. His first words were directed at her, "You’re awake? Are you hungry? I asked Tong Ma to make some chicken soup for you. Just wait a moment, I’ll go heat it up in the small kitchen before you eat."
As he was about to get up, his hand was grabbed by her, and when he turned his head to look, Ye Xinluo was also looking at him, "Beichen Rui, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell?"
Moreover, his eyes were bloodshot and his hair was disheveled, a stark contrast to his usual neat and tidy appearance.
Ye Xinluo didn’t know that after she was taken into the operating room, every second was torture for him.
He blamed himself, hated himself, for not being by her side when the accident happened at home, feeling utterly useless.
Unable to protect his wife and child...
Later in the ward, he was busy taking care of her, not caring about his own state.
"It’s nothing, wait a moment, I’ll go heat the chicken soup."
"No need, I don’t feel like eating now."
Ye Xinluo frowned slightly, the wound on her stomach hurt terribly, sometimes even speaking loudly would hurt. She smiled faintly at him, "I just want to rest, don’t want to eat."
"Then just sleep."
Ye Xinluo said, "The hospital bed is quite big, don’t sit beside anymore, come over and lie down. Look at you, you’re almost unrecognizable now!"
Though not knowing what torment he had endured, seeing Beichen Rui’s bloodshot eyes pained her heart.
"Okay."
He walked to the other side, helped cover her with the blanket, gently leaned beside, worried about hurting her wound, he kept some distance.
Perhaps because his beloved was beside him, he quickly fell asleep.
Watching her sleeping face, he couldn’t help but reach out, gently caressed her, bowed his head, kissed her forehead lightly, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
...
Lan Shan brought Jingxi back to the villa, then drove home herself, already past one in the morning. Changed her shoes upon entering, she saw the TV in the living room was still on.
She was startled for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Still not sleeping, this late?"
Gong Shaoyu got up, turned off the TV, and walked to Lan Shan’s side in his home clothes, trying to grab her hand, but she discreetly dodged, moved a bit aside, rubbed her sore neck, and said, "I’m going upstairs, get to bed early!"
After speaking, she headed towards the stairs, but hadn’t taken a few steps when her body was suddenly lifted, hoisted onto someone’s shoulder.
Furious and anxious, she hit his back a few times, "Gong Shaoyu, what are you doing, put me down!"
"Be quieter, the maids are all asleep. If you want to wake them all up to watch, I don’t mind!"
Lan Shan was speechless and indeed said nothing more...
She watched Gong Shaoyu carry her back to the second-floor bedroom.
