Chapter 209 Seeing Him One Last Time
Chapter 209 Seeing Him One Last Time
I quickly reassured him, "Don't worry about it, nothing's wrong. I'll tell you everything when you feel better, okay?"
"Everyone is hungry now, let's eat first."
Compared to Lin Qiuran, Wu Qian's reaction was much calmer.
As she opened the lunchbox for Lin Qiuran, she said, "What are you guessing? I told you long ago that President Song and Brother Zhang have a deep bond and won't separate easily."
Lin Qiuran was still a little uneasy and seemed to want to say something more.
But I turned my head away, opened my lunchbox, and started eating by myself, pretending I hadn't seen anything.
However, the food in the lunchbox really seemed to have been prepared especially for me; it was all easy-to-digest food that I like to eat.
I gripped the spoon tightly and silently chewed what was in my mouth.
However, after Wu Qian left the ward, Lin Qiuran told me something different.
He hung his head dejectedly. "God, you don't know, actually I knew everything while I was unconscious."
“I even clearly remember being in a car accident, and I might even become disabled. I injured my arm before, and now I’m disabled again.”
"I don't know how to face Xiaoqian. I even thought about ending it all so I wouldn't be a burden to her anymore. I even thought that maybe if I disappeared, Xiaoqian could find a better person and live a happy life."
"It wasn't until I heard you tell me this again and again that I realized how important Wu Qian and the child are to me."
"And you wanted me to wake up so much, so even though it was difficult, I chose to wake up."
"You idiot!"
I blurted out anxiously, "How can Xiaoqian and the child be okay without you? Only with you can they be happy!"
I was so angry at his silly ideas that I laughed.
But that's just Lin Qiuran, the Lin Qiuran who always puts others first.
He even brought up my relationship with Song Yafei. Since Wu Qian wasn't there, he spoke more bluntly.
"God, tell me, why did you get back together with Song Yafei? You were tormented by her before, how could you possibly make up with her!"
"Did she use some means to force you? What did she threaten you with this time, right?"
I looked at him without saying anything, but he seemed even more certain of his thoughts and struggled to get off the bed.
As a result, he forgot that he was a patient and accidentally aggravated his wounds, causing him to grimace in pain.
I quickly stepped forward to support him and stopped him, saying, "Don't move! You think your injuries are all healed just because you woke up."
"Don't overthink it. I did this voluntarily. Nobody forced me."
But Lin Qiuran looked me in the eyes and clearly didn't believe me.
"Why? What makes Song Yafei so special? Why do you have to forgive her again and again?"
"It's because of me, isn't it? You did this because of me."
His words were full of certainty.
I know things can't be kept secret forever; he'll find out someday.
I sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted his back. "Don't overthink it. You deserve it! And this time, Song Yafei is really different from before."
Lin Qiuran refused to give up; his eyes reddened. It was Wu Qian who suddenly came in and interrupted us; otherwise, continuing would have only led to endless arguing.
After Wu Qian came in, we tacitly avoided mentioning these things again.
Thanks to Wu Qian's care, I don't have to stay in the hospital every day.
At the restaurant, Song Yafei also hired a manager for me, and the restaurant is operating smoothly.
Everything seems to have cleared up after the rain; at least I can breathe a sigh of relief for now.
However, Song Yafei seemed quite busy; even when I returned to the villa, I rarely saw her.
Two days later, Wu Qian called me the night before and asked me to go to the hospital the next day to look after Lin Qiuran, as she was going to the airport to pick up her child and parents.
I went to the hospital early the next morning, but I didn't expect to see Miss Dong.
When I saw her this time, she looked much more haggard, and her eyes had lost their former luster.
He seemed to be in a state of dejection, having lost his former vigor and liveliness.
Although I felt reluctant and even quite emotional.
But I strongly oppose her appearing in front of Lin Qiuran again.
She didn't seem to intend to go to the ward to see Lin Qiuran on her own initiative. Instead, she stood by the window looking at me, as if seeking my opinion.
I came to her, and when I saw her again, my anger had vanished.
"What do you mean, Miss Dong? Didn't we agree never to see each other again?"
Ms. Dong forced a smile, revealing a faint hint of amusement. "The transfer agreement requires his signature."
She was even afraid I would kick her out, so she took the documents out of her bag and emphasized it.
“I didn’t come here to bother you. I just heard he woke up, so… I brought these over for him to sign.”
I guessed she meant she wanted to come see him, but she didn't say it explicitly, and I pretended not to know.
But I couldn't help reminding her, "I know how painful it is to give up on someone you love, but you should also understand how his family will survive if something happens to him?"
“He even told me that he was so desperate that he didn’t want to wake up again. Do you know what that means?”
"So I hope you can just let all of this go, as if you never met, okay?"
Miss Dong lowered her raised hand again, as if she had finally severed the last bit of hope between her and Lin Qiuran.
Ms. Dong spoke with difficulty, even revealing a helpless, bitter smile.
"Don't worry, I know there's never any possibility between us. I just wanted to see him one last time, is that alright?"
Her eyes were pleading as she looked at me.
When I saw her again this time, I felt that her aura seemed to have changed.
I couldn't bring myself to say yes, but I didn't refuse either.
Perhaps I ultimately lost because of my soft heart.
Seeing that I did not object, Ms. Dong composed herself and went into the ward.
I'm still a little worried because I don't know what Lin Qiuran is thinking.
When the ward door opened, Lin Qiuran mistook it for me and said without even looking up, "Tian, you're here! You know, I'm about to see my son..."
Halfway through her sentence, Lin Qiuran looked up and saw that it was Miss Dong, and was taken aback.
I saw that Lin Qiuran's eyes were filled with indifference and resistance when she saw Miss Dong.
Miss Dong, startled by her own setback, sat down in front of Lin Qiuran.
She looked at Lin Qiuran for a while, then hurriedly took the things out of the file bag.
She explained, "This is some compensation that I agreed upon with Zhang Tian, and I hope you can accept it."
Lin Qiuran didn't say anything. He accepted the things Miss Dong gave him, and unexpectedly, he stood up and slapped Miss Dong.
