Chapter 423: Chapter 423: It’s Good That You’re Okay (2)
The surgery took three hours, and for Ye Xinluo, those three hours felt like several centuries.
Before long, he was pushed out of the operating room. Standing up stiffly, Ye Xinluo looked at the hospital bed where Beichen Rui lay with his eyes tightly closed. Due to excessive blood loss and the lengthy surgery, his face was devoid of any color.
With trembling right hand, she reached out to touch his cheek, her lips quivering as she murmured, "It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay..."
The next moment, everything went black in front of her eyes, and she couldn’t hold on any longer, fainting on the spot... Before her eyes closed, she saw the crowd in the corridor rushing toward her with anxious faces.
Then came an endless darkness...
.
When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a white ceiling. The smell of disinfectant in the air made Ye Xinluo sit up abruptly, ready to throw off the quilt and get out of bed.
At this moment, the door of the ward opened, and Gong Shaoyu walked in carrying some white porridge. Seeing her attempt to get up, he quickly closed the distance and pressed her back onto the bed.
"Shaoyu, how is Beichen Rui? Has he woken up? Which ward is he in? I want to see him."
She rattled off a series of questions and tried to get up again. Gong Shaoyu stopped her and said, "Beichen Rui is fine; he’s already awake now. He’s in the next room. You need to eat something first, then I’ll let you see him."
Frowning, Ye Xinluo replied, "I don’t want to eat; I want to see him."
"No way." For once, Gong Shaoyu was unusually firm in front of her, giving her no chance to argue as he handed the bowl of porridge to her.
"The doctor said you fainted because you hadn’t eaten for a long time and were under stress. You need to eat something after waking up."
Seeing that she wasn’t taking the bowl, he continued, "If you don’t eat, I’ll feed you."
Hearing his words, Ye Xinluo came around, worried about Beichen Rui and eager to see him. She reached out to take the bowl from his hand.
That’s when she noticed her left hand was wrapped in gauze... Only after a while did she remember that her left hand had been grazed by a bullet... She’d forgotten about it because of Beichen Rui’s injury.
Setting up the table for her, Gong Shaoyu placed the bowl on it. Ye Xinluo used her right hand to pick up a spoon and took a mouthful of the porridge.
In her eagerness, her tongue got burned a little, but she frowned and endured it.
Seeing her like this, Gong Shaoyu pursed his lips into a straight line... "Girl, do you worry about him this much? Are you so eager to see him?"
... "If it were me who got injured today, would you care about me this much?"
Lowering his gaze, a hint of something flashed in his eyes but disappeared in the next instant.
She finished the bowl of food quickly, then looked up at him.
"Go ahead." Gong Shaoyu took the bowl and said powerlessly. The next second, Ye Xinluo threw off the quilt, and without even putting on shoes, dashed out of the room.
He was just about to call her back, but she had already disappeared before he could say a word.
At the door of the next room, Ye Xinluo stood there, listening to the doctor’s voice inside.
"Young Master Chen, your injury will heal with some rest. During this period, it’s best to eat some light food."
"Knock, knock, knock..." She extended her hand and knocked on the door.
Inside the ward, Beichen Rui was leaning on the bed, putting all his weight on his right side, his left shoulder completely immobile.
As he listened to the doctor’s report, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
