Chapter 376 All Settled (3)
The doctors and nurses were busy in the ICU for a while before they left one after another.Fu Nancheng sat motionless by the bedside, watching over her, his large hand gently enveloping her small one.
Her hand was still delicate and smooth, like fine silk, as if a slightly heavier force would hurt her.
Yet, a scar from a cut remained on her fair wrist, left from the last time she cut it to meet Jing Hao.
Xiao Mo... I seem to always make you get hurt...
Do you... regret meeting me?
His gaze traced her pale little face lightly, and he lowered his eyes somewhat self-mockingly.
She probably hasn’t had time to hate him, let alone regret...
Qin Zhaoran was a bit worried, walked behind him, and put a large hand on his shoulder: "Nancheng."
Fu Nancheng didn’t respond, just remained silent.
"When you have time, talk to her. Maybe, she’ll wake up."
"Okay."
Qin Zhaoran sighed softly, turned and left, leaving the ward to the two of them.
...
This vigil lasted for three days, until the morning of the third day.
The woman on the sickbed still showed no sign of waking.
Fu Nancheng remained by her bedside, his gaze on her, speaking to her softly.
"Xiao Mo... why are you still not waking up... it’s already dawn."
"You’ve been sleeping for so long, the sun is almost shining on your back."
"Did you hear the sound of the firecrackers outside? You’ve always been a light sleeper... can’t you hear such loud firecracker sounds?"
The sunlight outside the window was warm, carrying the warmth after the melting snow.
Through the window, the pale golden sunlight filled the bed, enveloping their figures, adding a touch of spring color to the pale ward.
At sunset, the sunlight turned from golden to fiery red.
Fu Nancheng turned to look outside the window, his heart heavy with suffocation.
It’s already the third day...
When the sun rises again, it seems to be the last deadline.
He got up and washed a towel, gently wiped her cheeks, his eyes filled with bloodshot falling on her little face, with a hint of longing.
"Xiao Mo... could you open your eyes and look at me again?" He spoke softly, with a hint of pleading.
She remained motionless, he gently lifted her hand and placed it on his face: "I’m so handsome, you wouldn’t want to leave me, right."
Silence still answered him.
"Xiao Mo, do you know? I’ve prepared a lot of fireworks, planning to set them off for you to see at night."
"The night at the villa is especially beautiful, the fireworks blooming in the night sky will light up the entire Nanshan Villa, multicolored fireworks reflecting on the sea, a dazzling spectacle."
"When you wake up, I’ll take you to see the fireworks, okay?" He spoke softly, but his voice was already hoarse.
"It’s already New Year’s so quickly, and you haven’t even said Happy New Year to me."
"Do you have any New Year’s wishes?"
"My wish... is for you to wake up soon..."
Looking at her little face, his gaze revealed a gentle tenderness, yet deeply buried an indescribable pain.
As night deepens, only a small lamp is lit in the ward, he still stays motionless by her bedside, having stayed awake for several nights, yet seeming unaware of fatigue.
In the blink of an eye, another night passed.
As the sun rose again, his complexion turned a shade paler.
"Xiao Mo, it’s morning, time to get up."
"What do you want for breakfast today? Let’s go home... I’ll make it for you, how about it?"
He spoke softly, seeming full of patience, but the grip on her hand tightened even more.
