After watching TV dramas all night, her eyes were already starting to hurt. The sky outside was beginning to brighten slightly, but the person on the bed was still lying there quietly.
Gu Qimiao turned off her phone and lay down on the caretaker bed. She closed her eyes to rest for a while. Just as she started to doze off, she heard a hoarse voice saying, "Water..."
She vaguely heard her own name as well. Gu Qimiao woke up with a start, quickly sat up from the bed, and saw Mo Ming with his eyes open, his lips moving. Gu Qimiao then realized it was not a dream and immediately ran out excitedly: "Doctor! Doctor! My brother is awake!"
She ran out so hurriedly that she didn’t notice the man sitting on the chair in the corridor. For as long as she had been keeping watch, he had been keeping watch too.
Only when Gu Qimiao led the doctor back did she see the man sitting on the chair. "Brother Yan Chen, when did you get here?"
Shen Yanchen stood up: "Just now." How could he possibly tell her that he had been sitting outside all night? Even he couldn’t believe he did something so foolish.
Without exchanging many words, the two followed the doctor into the ward together.
Gu Qimiao busied herself alongside the doctor, listening intently to every word the doctor said. Shen Yanchen watched all of this with jealousy, even wishing to be the one lying there, wondering if she would care for him the same way.
"The patient needs water, go get some."
Right now, her eyes were only on Mo Ming, completely ignoring Shen Yanchen. While she went to fetch water, he quietly left.
Back at the company, he vented his emotions on his subordinates. The entire meeting room was shrouded in a dark cloud, everyone too scared to even breathe loudly...
For the next two days, Gu Qimiao stayed at the hospital to take care of Mo Ming. After Mo Ming’s cranial surgery, his speech was still not very clear, and he spent most of his time sleeping, awake for very short periods. The doctor said this was normal, so Gu Qimiao felt relieved.
Shen Yanchen didn’t go to the hospital to add to his troubles either, but he started having insomnia at home every night.
He didn’t want to see her, yet he thought about her all the time.
Until the third night, when Gu Qimiao fainted.
When he received the call from the hospital, he rushed over immediately.
When he arrived, she was lying on the bed with an IV drip, already awake but looking a bit haggard.
He asked about her condition at the door, the doctor said she was just too tired recently and her anemia was quite severe, so she fainted. She would be fine after some rest.
Shen Yanchen walked in, she was looking at him, her lips parting as if to say something.
He sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked at her without saying a word.
Gu Qimiao hesitated before finally speaking: "Brother Yan Chen, I want to discuss something with you." She had been conflicted about this for days, wanting to tell him, but never seeing him.
He nodded slightly, "Hmm."
Gu Qimiao felt a bit awkward as she said, "Uh... Can I stay at your place for a little longer?"
After saying that, she looked at his expression but couldn’t see anything from it. Seeing him just staring at her, Gu Qimiao explained, "My brother Mo Ming will have two or three more surgeries, I don’t have much money left in my account, and the house can’t be renovated for now..."
"Do whatever you want." He suddenly interrupted her explanation, "Anyway, I haven’t changed the password, and having empty rooms is a waste."
Gu Qimiao was thrilled to hear this, feeling that her happiness could be extended...
However, what she didn’t know was that a certain cold-faced man was also quietly delighted in his heart.
