Chapter 47: Chapter 47: If I Knew He Was Here
Not only had both elderly gentlemen left, but Xiao Kai had also been called away by the old gentleman.
Thus, Mu Lingyun was left alone in the ward, keeping Ji Luochen company.
It was a high-end ward with only one bed, not only clean and sanitary but also very particular in its decoration and arrangement.
There was even a vase of flowers on the table.
Mu Lingyun couldn’t understand why the doctor had asked her to talk with Ji Luochen, in order to stabilize his condition.
In her view, Ji Luochen’s condition had already been stable, hadn’t it?
Because he was lying in the bed at that moment, sleeping very soundly.
She sat by the bed, resting her head on her hand as she watched Ji Luochen, noticing his breath was light and long, and except for his handsome face being a bit pale, there seemed to be nothing amiss.
She subconsciously extended her fair index finger and carefully traced the contours of his face, from the tip of his nose to his thin lips.
Back in Another World, after she had stolen his Imperial Seal, she felt too ashamed to face him, so no matter how much she wanted to see him, she didn’t dare to go to Wangji again.
And when she had searched through all the medical texts in the world and had a reason to see him, she could not find him anymore.
After that, she had read all the medical texts and searched throughout the seven nations but still found no trace of him.
She asked all the people she could at the time, including Xiao Kai, but not a single one knew of his whereabouts.
It had crossed her mind that he might no longer be alive, but she was unwilling to believe it.
Later, when her body was at the end of its strength and she couldn’t hold on any longer, she chose to return to this world.
She had thought she would never see him again in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, he was here.
If she had known earlier that he was here, she would have returned after completing her task—why endure hardships in Another World?
“Knock, knock, knock—”
As she was reflecting, there suddenly came a knocking sound from outside the ward.
She walked over to open the door and saw a middle-aged woman, standing at the doorway with a multi-tiered lunchbox in her hands.
“Who are you?” Mu Lingyun asked, puzzled.
It had been so long since she had seen the two old gentlemen or Xiao Kai, but instead, an aunty turned up, which was truly bizarre.
“I am the Ji family’s housekeeper; the elderly gentleman asked me to bring you some food. May I come in?” the aunty asked.
Mu Lingyun stepped aside to let the aunty in.
The aunty spread out the lunchbox on the table, displaying a total of five dishes, one soup, and a bowl of rice.
“The elderly gentleman said they had to go back first due to an urgent matter, and Xiao Kai was urgently called back as well. So they’ve asked you to take care of our young master here. The elderly gentleman said that once the young master recovers, he will definitely thank you properly. This is the food the elderly gentleman asked me to bring you; you can just eat and put it aside. I’ll come to deliver breakfast tomorrow and take the lunchbox back. I’ll be leaving now, thanks for your hard work,” the aunty said and then left.
Mu Lingyun was somewhat speechless.
She could not help feeling that these two old gentlemen were not reliable at all.
Could there be anything more important than their grandson’s health? It was one thing for them to leave, but to take Xiao Kai with them, she really didn’t understand what they were thinking.
But no matter, it was the same to her to watch over Ji Luochen here.
She glanced at Ji Luochen and saw that he was still sleeping very peacefully, and with his good looks right before her, she felt quite the desire to eat something.
So she picked up the chopsticks and leisurely started eating.
She didn’t expect that just after a couple of bites, her phone rang.
She picked it up to see, and it was actually a call from Zhai Yuewen.
“What’s up?” She answered the phone, lowered her voice, and asked a question before she carefully stepped onto the balcony.
