Chapter 142 You are the most important
The sudden hug and simple words made Xiaomai burst into tears. She no longer pretended to be strong. Her support was back. She snuggled tightly in He Lingting's arms and cried, "Uncle, grandma is sick. The doctor said it's a brain tumor. What should I do? I'm scared, but I can't do anything."
He Lingting hugged Xiaomai tightly. He could feel Xiaomai's body trembling. The little girl must be really scared. He could fully understand Xiaomai's feeling of fear and helplessness but having to face it bravely.
He Lingting loosened his arms, held the little girl's face with both hands, and gently wiped away the tears on her face. After not seeing her for a few days, the little girl looked much more haggard. He hugged Xiaomai again distressedly, kissed the top of her head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, grandma will be fine."
"Well, uncle, it's great to have you." Xiaomai said softly after calming down for a while.
"Silly girl, why didn't you tell me earlier?" He Lingting stroked Xiaomai's cheek again with heartache.
"I, I'm afraid of affecting your work. I don't want to be a burden to you." Xiaomai said hesitantly.
He Ting was both angry and amused when he heard this. He nodded Xiaomai's head and said, "What on earth are you thinking about? You are my legal wife, how can you be a burden? Don't you have any confidence in me?"
"I, no, I'm sorry, uncle." Xiaomai pouted and apologized softly, which made He Lingting's heart soften.
"Alright, don't do this next time. You must always remember that I am your husband, the man who will grow old with you and go through thick and thin together. Would you just stand by and watch me do nothing if something happens to me?"
Xiaomai shook her head and said, "No."
"That's right. So in the future, if something happens, you must tell your husband immediately. Don't force yourself to do it. Your husband will feel bad, don't you know?"
"Okay, got it." Xiaomai nodded obediently in response.
"Silly girl, you can never make enough money, but you only have one. If you are not happy, what's the point of having so much money? So you have to remember that you are the most important to me."
He Lingting's words moved Xiaomai to tears again. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"There's really nothing I can do about you. It's still early. Go to sleep while grandma is still here! Look at your big eyes, they're as red as rabbits." He Lingting glanced at the time and pulled Xiaomai back to the ward.
After hearing what He Lingting said, Xiaomai burst out laughing and said shyly, "You are the one who became a rabbit."
He Lingting pulled Xiaomai to the spare bed in the ward, took off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, kissed her and said, "Be good, go to sleep! I'm here."
Xiaomai slowly closed her eyes. Her backbone returned and she no longer had to bear everything by herself. Once her tense nerves relaxed, Xiaomai felt really sleepy and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
He Lingting saw that the little girl had fallen asleep and Grandma Jiang was also sleeping quietly. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He came from afar and took an eight-hour flight overnight just to get back because he was worried about the little girl. Now seeing that both the grandparents and grandchildren were fine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
More than an hour later, Grandma Jiang woke up and looked at Xiaomai sleeping next to her. She smiled with relief. She sat up and saw He Lingting sleeping lightly on the sofa. She was stunned for a moment, then she wanted to get out of bed to cover He Lingting with clothes. Before grandma got up, He Lingting woke up.
"Grandma, you're awake." He Lingting saw Grandma Jiang got up and quickly got up and walked over.
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't wake Xiaomai. She's been worried about me all day. Let her rest a little more." Grandma Jiang said softly, looking at Xiaomai with loving eyes.
"Okay." He Lingting also looked at Xiaomai deeply. It was not easy for the little girl. She was as young as a flower, but she had to endure so much pain.
"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" He Lingting asked Grandma Jiang.
"No, he was fine yesterday. I wanted to go home, but Xiaomai insisted that I be observed for a few days. By the way, Xiaoting, didn't you go abroad on a business trip? Xiaomai, why did they bother you to come back?" Grandma thought that it was Xiaomai who asked He Ting to come back.
"Grandma, I'll be back when I'm done. It has nothing to do with Xiaomai."
"That's fine, that's fine."
"Grandma, wash up first. I'll go see what the hospital has arranged for today."
"Okay, let's go!"
He Lingting glanced at the sleeping little girl again, then turned and left.
