Shi Guang said many things to her sister till she laid sprawling on the bedside after she was done.
The rain outside had stopped for a brief moment before restarting, causing the air inside to feel moist.
Shi Guang’s phone rang–it was a message from Huo Zhan asking her why she had left without waiting for him and about things between her and Lu Yanchen, whether she really had a boyfriend now and that she really did not know that he had a fiancée.
Shi Guang did not know how she should reply everything through text, and could only tell him that she would explain things to him when they next met face to face.
After replying to the text, she reached out with her hand to comb her hair that had fallen in front of her face to sweep them behind her ears.
It was getting late now–she ought to get going.
As she was getting up, she caught sight of a finger of her sister that had been lying flat on the bed the entire time suddenly twitching!
Shi Guang’s eyes widened as she gasped out, “Sis?”
Moved! She had just seen her sister’s finger moving…! Her heart raced faster and faster. Afraid that she might have been seeing things, Shi Guang watched her sister’s face closely and discovered that her eyelashes had twitched slightly as well!!!
This time around, Shi Guang could no longer hold her emotions back as she tore the door of the ward open while shouting outside, “Doctor… DOCTOR!”
The dimly lit corridors of that level suddenly turned bright with all the lights switched on. All the doctors and nurses on the evening shift were summoned over by her.
“What’s wrong, Miss Shi?”
“My sis’ finger moved! I saw her finger and eyes moving!” As she said that, Shi Guang felt as though her heart was nearly about to pop out of her chest.
The doctor sped into the ward.
However, after running a battery of tests on her, he turned around and said to Shi Guang apologetically, “That was only a natural reaction. It only serves to say that there’s still a chance of your sister waking up, but it does not mean that she will wake up immediately.”
That ecstatic heart of Shi Guang’s from moments earlier suddenly sank rock bottom. She could not hide the disappointment on her face. “Or, must I wait till the operation is over?”
The doctor nodded his head and consoled her, “Don’t worry too much, Miss Shi! After all, the patient has been in a coma for 7 years now. The operation has been arranged for 3 months later. I’m sure your sister will be able to wake up thereafter.”
“Thank you, doctor!”
After sending the doctor off, Shi Guang stayed in the ward for a little longer. Before she left, she turned around and looked at her sister who was lying on the bed with tubes plugged onto different parts of her body and gave off a pained look.
Whoever came to visit would definitely not be able to tell that this was the genius girl of the yesteryears!
…
In the dark, quiet night, there were hardly any people at the nursing home. However, there were many taxis waiting at the entrance. Beneath a huge tree at the entrance, a tall figure of a man leaned against his car. Slightly surprised, Shi Guang walked toward him. “What are you doing here?”
It seemed as though he had waited for a long time now.
Lu Yanchen’s expression was indifferent as he spoke out, “I saw you get onto a taxi. Thinking about how I had asked you to wait for me earlier on, I followed you here.”
Shi Guang lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry! I had something on at the last minute.”
Lu Yanchen did not reply, merely looking at her with an indecipherable gaze. Shi Guang raised her head at him, unable to tell any changes from his expression. However, there seemed to be a little something hidden behind that gaze of his.
Only, she could not make out what that emotion was.
The winds howled out once more, seeming as though the rain was about to strike again. Lu Yanchen opened his car door. “It’s about to rain now… Get in first.”
This time around, Shi Guang did not hesitate or reject, merely boarding it silently.
*He’s really so tender towards her at times T_T*
