The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 454 - 422: This Person is Malicious

Qin Xia, Madam Chu, and Qiao Yuxian rushed hurriedly to the hospital.Qiao Yuxian sat in the passenger seat, watching the dazed Qin Xia and Madam Chu.

Madam Chu, after finishing the call at the Chu Mansion, said Chu Zhengran had woken up.

Qin Xia was first stunned, then immediately called the hospital to confirm it.

The hospital said the same thing, Chu Zhengran had woken up.

But even so, both Qin Xia and Madam Chu were somewhat bewildered, even in disbelief.

Since Chu Zhengran had shown some response last time, his condition hadn’t been good these days.

His physical functions had declined, and the doctors had spoken to them, discreetly explaining Chu Zhengran’s situation.

In just a few days, he suddenly woke up.

They were both very excited but didn’t dare to be too excited for fear that things might change if they were.

The drive, which usually took an hour, was done in forty minutes to the hospital.

Upon getting out of the car, Qin Xia and Madam Chu hurriedly walked toward the ward.

Outside the ward, Madam Chu pushed the door open, and Qin Xia closely followed behind, nearly stepping inside before retreating.

Qiao Yuxian stopped as well, looking at Qin Xia, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Qin Xia’s face was pale, slightly breathless from the fast walk, and her hands were trembling quite a bit.

She glanced inside the ward, then grasped Qiao Yuxian’s arm, her lips trembling as she said, "You, you go in for me first. I, I don’t dare."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her reddened eyes and said, "Are you okay here?"

She was a bit worried that Qin Xia might not be okay on her own outside.

Qin Xia opened her mouth but made no sound, eventually just nodding.

Qiao Yuxian entered the ward.

She came out after just three to five minutes.

Qin Xia stared intently at Qiao Yuxian and asked, "Really awake?"

The ward was too large, the bed too far inside; Qin Xia was too anxious. She could only see people inside but couldn’t hear what they were saying.

She only felt a continuous buzzing in her ears.

"Awake," Qiao Yuxian said.

Qin Xia looked at her blankly.

Qiao Yuxian quickly added, "Really awake. The doctors examined him, and everything is normal. He is normal, not confused. His thinking is normal, and he was just in there cursing Gu Yanjing as having a black heart."

Qin Xia stared at her, repeatedly going over Qiao Yuxian’s words in her head, then suddenly lost strength as if drained, her legs nearly giving way beneath her.

Qiao Yuxian caught her in time, saying, "The doctor said that once he’s awake, there’s nothing to worry about. Just some rehabilitation afterward."

Qin Xia nodded, took a while, and finally said, "Good, good. Awake is good, it’s good that it’s alright."

Qiao Yuxian supported her to sit on a chair outside.

This period had Qin Xia’s nerves stretched too tightly, and suddenly relaxing, she appeared very weak.

She leaned back into the chair, her gaze lowered, saying nothing.

After a while, Qiao Yuxian said, "Not going in to take a look?"

Qin Xia’s lips moved as she said, "Wait a while."

Qiao Yuxian sat with Qin Xia outside.

After another while, Qin Xia seemed restless, randomly bringing up a topic, asking, "Why curse Gu Yanjing?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, paused for two seconds, and said, "Maybe... because he deserved it."

"Huh?" Qin Xia was puzzled for a moment.

"Uh..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment about what she heard in those brief three to five minutes inside and how to tell Qin Xia.

In that short period, besides seeing Madam Chu cry and hearing doctors talk about Chu Zhengran’s condition, she heard Chu Zhengran and Madam Chu complain about Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing stopped Xiao Zhe at the hospital.

He met Xiao Zhe, not only dissuading him from taking Qin Xia away but also extinguishing Xiao Zhe’s thought of meeting Qin Xia.

Xiao Zhe had just arrived in the Capital City today, met Gu Yanjing once, and bought a ticket to return.

After dealing with Xiao Zhe, Gu Yanjing came to the ward to accompany Chu Zhengran.

When he arrived at the ward, he sat in the chair by the bed and his first words were, "Your family is about to be split up by relatives. Your mother and your wife are facing it for you."

After saying this, a moment later, Gu Yanjing coldly said, "Xiao Zhe came today. If you don’t wake up, Qin Xia will be taken away by him."

Gu Yanjing’s tone in both sentences was quite cold, even with a bit of temper.

It seemed he was angry because Chu Zhengran hadn’t woken up.

So the tone in those two sentences wasn’t pleasant.

But not long after he said this, he saw Chu Zhengran’s eyes open.

Gu Yanjing’s pupils slightly contracted, and for an instant, as if fearing it was an illusion, he didn’t move.

Until Chu Zhengran’s eyes slowly turned towards him and moved his lips, saying, "So you just watched my wife elope?"

His voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, and he spoke very slowly.

But Gu Yanjing heard it clearly.

He looked at Chu Zhengran, and after a moment, stood up, placing his hand on his shoulder, saying, "Zhengran?"

Chu Zhengran smiled weakly.

Gu Yanjing quickly pressed the call button on the bed, his usual indifferent expression somewhat tense. He called Chu Zhengran’s name, talking to him, afraid he would fall asleep again.

So the first person Chu Zhengran saw upon waking was Gu Yanjing.

He kept lamenting to Madam Chu that it was Gu Yanjing’s words that had poisoned him into waking up.

...

After about ten minutes, Gu Yanjing and Lin Huai Shu came out.

Qiao Yuxian stood up, looking at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing walked to her side, patted her gently on the top of her head, and said to Qin Xia, "Zhengran is looking for you."

Qin Xia raised her head to look at him, paused, and said, "Okay."

After responding, she still didn’t move. She glanced at Lin Huai Shu’s red eyes and lowered her gaze again.

After another while, without saying a word, she stood up and walked toward the ward.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her back with a heart full of pain.

Gu Yanjing squeezed her hand gently, saying, "It’s already getting better."

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, curved her eyes into a smile, and said, "Yes, it will all get better."

Qin Xia entered the ward, and every step from the door to the bed was particularly tense.

She was afraid it was all a dream, that walking in might wake her up, and everything would return to the way it was before.

She walked step by step, saw Madam Chu sitting by the bed and Chu Zhengran lying on the bed.

Madam Chu had just cried, her eyes red, the tears in her eyes not yet dry.

Chu Zhengran’s eyes were also slightly red, holding Madam Chu’s hand, gently comforting her.

Seeing Qin Xia come in, Madam Chu looked at her.

Qin Xia stopped where she was when Madam Chu looked over.

Madam Chu glanced at her, then at Chu Zhengran, and said, "You two talk. I’ll go ask the doctor what you can eat."

"Okay," Chu Zhengran replied.

Madam Chu patted his hand, got up, and walked out. As she passed Qin Xia, she lightly patted her shoulder.

Qin Xia stood in place, her eyelashes slightly trembling. Even after Madam Chu left, she didn’t move, just stood there looking at Chu Zhengran.

Seeing her in a dazed state, Chu Zhengran smiled and said, "What? Don’t recognize me anymore?"
