Chapter 379: Settle Accounts (6)
"Jing Hao!" Xie Qinghuan’s heart tightened, she hurried forward to support him.His body wasn’t well to begin with, having forced himself to leave the hospital upon hearing news of Qiao Mo. He couldn’t possibly withstand such a punch at this moment.
Yan Jiu, however, couldn’t care less whether he lived or died, his peach blossom eyes full of malice as he said softly, "Jiang Jinghao, Qiao Mo was never yours. Something that can be taken away was never yours to begin with!"
Jiang Jinghao was slightly taken aback, staring at him absent-mindedly.
Xie Qinghuan also lifted her eyes to glance at him, meeting those deep, malicious eyes. Her heart tightened, and she silently helped Jiang Jinghao up without saying a word.
After a bout of clamor, the hallway returned to silence. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the door of the intensive care unit.
The glass window and door that were originally there had been covered with curtains, leaving no way to see what was happening inside.
...
Half an hour later, the curtain was finally pulled open. A few doctors were still handling the follow-up work. Qin Zhaoran was the first to walk out of the room.
Fu Nancheng’s gaze was fixed on him, his big hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
Qin Zhaoran looked at him and said softly, "The heart stopped just now, but there’s no further danger now. However, if she doesn’t wake up within half an hour, she might at any moment..."
Fu Nancheng’s heart seized, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
He reached out to steady himself against the wall, his eyes reddened, making no sound.
"Go inside and talk to her," Qin Zhaoran said softly.
He slowly took a step, the world spinning around him. He didn’t know how he managed to walk into the hospital room, but looking at the pale little face on the bed, he was overwhelmed with grief.
Outside the door, Jiang Jinghao and Xie Qinghuan wanted to follow in, but Qin Zhaoran stopped them: "Give him a little more time, you can go in after ten minutes."
Hearing this, the two of them could only stand outside the window, watching Qiao Mo without saying a word.
"Xiao Mo... please wake up, okay?" Fu Nancheng gently held her hand, his voice trembling slightly.
"I haven’t had the chance to tell you... haven’t had the chance to tell you how much I like you."
"Like you so much that I wish I could hide you away forever, wish I could give you all the best things in the world, wish that in your eyes, in your heart, there was only me..."
"In fact... I don’t even know how much I like you... but it’s just very, very much..."
If possible, Fu Nancheng would rather be the one lying on the bed at this moment, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as he wished, and it was Qiao Mo lying on the hospital bed.
Qin Zhaoran glanced at the time, his brows slightly furrowed, and after entering the room, he said softly, "Nancheng, give Xie Qinghuan and Jiang Jinghao a little time."
Fu Nancheng laughed softly and said, "Xiao Mo, don’t be afraid. I will always be with you, always, always with you..."
He leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her pale lips, a scalding tear slipping uncontrollably down his cheek, falling onto her face, he choked as he said, "I love you."
Jiang Jinghao rushed in with Xie Qinghuan’s assistance. Fu Nancheng gave him a vacant glance and turned to the window, gazing out, leaving the space by the bed to them.
But he didn’t see, at the moment he turned, Qiao Mo’s left index finger moved slightly.
...
Jiang Jinghao sat by the bed, looking at Qiao Mo whose face was as white as paper on the hospital bed. He opened his mouth several times but couldn’t speak.
"Xiao Mo... do you still remember the first time we met?" After a long while, his lips moved slightly, his voice very gentle.
"I was playing the guitar on the playground, and you walked past. With a pile of books in your arms, you bumped into someone because you turned your head to look..."
