Prepare her mentally? What does it make her do?
From the very beginning until now, she had always heard the six words ‘be mentally prepared’, but she couldn’t do it! Can’t do it at all! She does not and should not do it!
She was greedy and wanted more than just one six months. She wants many, many six months …
Without saying anything more to the doctor, she pushed her way into the hospital room. He was lying on the bed, not waking up. But, at least, his breathing could be heard, ringing around. Even if, it was that light and shallow, it was enough to make her feel at ease.
Step over lightly and sit down on the edge of the bed. The line of sight, never want to move away from his face for a moment. Such a careful look, only to realize, compared to eight months ago, he really lost a lot of weight …
Heart, shivering.
What kind of torture and pain was he going through these eight months?
I don’t dare to imagine it, I just feel the tip of my nose sore, tears almost falling. But held them back, choking them back into their stomachs. Barely raising a smile, his fingers greedily traced over each of his still handsome features.
Thick eyebrows, always gently furrowed in anger.
The high nose, as always, attracted her …
Deep eyes, closed tightly at the moment, but she could feel the burning heat and depth of feeling when they were open …
Thin Lips …
Fingers, gently fell on the thin lips that had no temperature. She suddenly laughed shallowly, bursting into tears. The next second …
Suddenly bent his head and put his lips, gently, gently on it. That force, very light, as if the dragonfly pointing the water in general gentle, only afraid to startle the dream of him …
And yet, it’s so hard to pull away.
Just want to be this quiet close to him, closer … and closer … until forever …
…
When Jerry Xiao woke up, it was surprisingly already completely dark. Apparently, it was late at night …
He moved, aching all over. Fingers, tentative, moved, but blended nguyen from the warmth that filled his hand, and a gentle shiver ran through his body.
Bedside …
There was a figure lying on her back. She was asleep, but still holding his hand. That even breath, swept on the back of his hand. Jerry Xiao suddenly felt that the coldness of the night, in this instant gradually dispersed, on the contrary, the whole body warmed to the extreme.
He wanted …
There is nothing happier in the world than waking up and seeing her for the first time.
Even if, one day, he would have to leave, he felt happy.
Lift the covers and get out of bed. Carrying her whole person across the hospital bed. Instead of waking up, she followed the warmth of the quilt and burrowed into it. Jerry Xiao smiled at the scene and only felt contentment in his heart.
Laying down on his back afterward, he got under the covers with her under them, and then opened his arms to hold her entire body firmly against his chest.
The comforter with her in it …
Surprisingly warm …
The bed is not big, accommodating two people seems a bit crowded. Afraid that she might accidentally fall off the bed, he slightly turned on his side and tried to occupy as little space as possible, leaving a large area for her.
“Hmmm …” She was half asleep, feeling his body heat and scent, and opened her arms and wrapped them affectionately around his neck.
He smiled open, on her soft lips, printed a kiss. She seemed to be dreaming, and all of a sudden she came to laugh daintily, whispering, “Jerry …”
Hearing her call his name in his dream, Jerry Xiao’s heart shook, and the unspeakable feeling instantly rushed up his whole heart.
“You have to get well quickly … Not allowed to have anything …” she murmured in a daze, the sound, as if from a profound sigh, seeped straight into the deepest recesses of his heart, tugging at his heartstrings.
The tone was delicate and gentle, favoring a little dominance that made him feel used.
Between them, no, it should be him, going round and round, missing and missing again, only now finally getting back on this right track. What to do? He no longer wanted to let go at all …
This life is not enough, can he be more selfish and ask her for the next life …
Heart palpitating, he cupped her dazed little face and bent his head, steadying his lips on hers in a single bound.
====
All night long, each other slept well. I don’t know who was the first to wake up, but neither one got up, only to embrace each other more closely. Until, the door to the hospital room was pushed open and the doctor and nurse walked in.
The doctors and nurses couldn’t help but smile at the rare sight of such warmth, and it was only then that Zoey snapped out of it, collected herself, and hurried out of bed, her face flushed red.
Jerry Xiao lost his smile as he watched her shy and uneasy.
“Doctor, how is he doing?” Though she felt embarrassed, Zoey didn’t forget to ask anxiously.
“I’ll take a look first. Come, lie flat.” The doctor signaled Jerry Xiao, and, afterward, carefully examined. “The high fever has subsided. Pay more attention to rest in the future, your body is your own, don’t go tossing and turning.”
“Uh-huh. I’ll be sure to pay attention in the future.” As if, it was her who was being admonished, she assured very seriously. And then, not forgetting to glance at him, as if seeking his assurance as well. He smiled away, good as a child, and nodded, “I hear you.”
She then raised her lips slightly in satisfaction.
“Doctor, when can I be discharged?” Jerry Xiao asked. Jerry Xiao asked, and Zoey couldn’t help but frown gently, “You want to be discharged in a hurry?”
Isn’t it good for him to be healthy and get well again in the hospital?
Is trying to get out of the hospital faster.
Because …
He didn’t want to waste another minute in the hospital.
“If you’re going to leave, you can go ahead and get discharged now.” The doctor answered him.
Zoey looked worriedly at the other man, “Are you sure, doctor? But his body, it seems like he’s still very weak.”
“He is weak because of an old illness. There is nothing we can do about that. The fever has gone down, and if he remains here, it will only be a waste of the patient’s time.”
The heart, which had only just been stained with all that warmth of the morning, now ached violently because of the doctor’s cruel truth. Like a sharp steel awl nailed into the tip of the heart.
Can’t bear to see her worrying about herself like this, Jerry Xiao probed his hand over and held her’s. He comfortably wrapped the cold little hand into his palm. Comforting, the cold little hand, wrapped into the palm.
He wanted to tell her that he, himself, was fine …
He was fine anywhere as long as she was there.
“By the way, I heard from the nurse, did you leave last night before your shots were done? Let me see if the fever’s gone down for you.” The doctor turned his attention to her.
Zoey was about to say it was fine, but a voice beat her to it, “You have a fever too?”
His eyes burned into hers, and his hand was already reaching over, pulling her to him. “I’m fine, just a small cold. Now …”
Before she finished speaking, his hand covered her forehead. That warm palm, as well as the deep eyes that are full of concern, her heart gently throbbed, and the voice that came out was even softer, “It’s okay now, I didn’t lie to you, right?”
Indeed, the temperature was just right, not too cold or too hot. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was still unsure, “Let the doctor take another look at you.”
“Oh.” She nodded obediently, and the doctor helped her check her over briefly, “Well, it’s all recovering well. It’s just a small cold, no need for a shot, I’ll give you some medicine, go back and take it yourself. Sleep well, sweat out your body, and you’ll be fine when you wake up.” .
“Thanks Doc.” Zoey thanked her softly. The doctor writes a prescription as he talks to her, “Go get your discharge paperwork done, you can leave now.”
“Oh.” Zoey responded, and Jerry Xiao had already gotten up, grabbed the sheets at the foot of the bed, and said to Zoey, “I’ll go do it.”
“No way! You’re not well yet, lie down and rest. I’ll come back up to you when I’m done.” Zoey said as she tried to grab the bill payment slip from his hand. He held it up high and wouldn’t give it to her, “It’s just a bill payment, I’m not as weak as you think. You’re not well either, so stay here and be a good girl and wait for me to come back.”
Running errands is supposed to be what men do.
“You’re not allowed!” She was being a little bossy again. He was still so weak, so why was he trying to be so strong?
…
The doctors and nurses on the sidelines watched them come and go with some amusement. Such a picture is all warmth and warmth. It’s just a pity that in this deep love, in the near future, someone has to be the first to leave the scene …
Probably, also because of this, so, now they are so spare no effort for each other, afraid of each other have even a little uncomfortable …
“The way I see it, you guys should stop grabbing at each other and just do it together. Neither of you is as weak as the other thinks, and walking around a bit, as a walk, will do your bodies good.” The doctor kindly advised them.
The two men stopped scrambling, and, afterward, smiled at each other.
“Then it’s good to go together.” He raised the list in his hand, feeling that the doctor’s advice was really wise.
“Uh-huh.” She smiled and nodded.
The two walked out of the hospital room side by side. They were so close that their hands almost touched each other’s several times. The heat made Zoey feel a shiver, like electricity coursing through her heart. I’ve hugged, kissed, and even more intimately …
However, in the daytime, they actually became as careful with each other as they were when they first fell in love.
No, it should be that he is careful. Several times, he touched her hand, obviously wanting to hold it, but did not. Zoey was not in a hurry, lowered his head and smiled darkly, just let him like a fool to try, try, try again …
Finally …
The hand, finally, was held by him, firmly held in his palm. He thought, even if she struggles again, he will not let go …
The palms of each other’s hands, entwined together. She rippled a smile, a sweet, peaceful smile. Flipping her palms, she firmly clasped his back.
“Zoey.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you accept my apology?”
“… not yet.”
“And when is that acceptable?” There was something grim in his voice.
She was silent for a long time before she looked up at him, her eyes crystal clear, “I’ll accept your apology when you’re fully recovered. And, still willing to forgive you!”
