527 The Most Vulnerable
Lu Gan took a deep breath. His heart was heavy.
‘It felt like I’ve walked a long way…’
Suddenly, someone approached Lu Gan.
It was Song Ci.
‘Huh? Why is she here?’
Lu Gan was surprised, but he did not have the energy to show it. He just looked lonely and sad.
Song Ci could feel Lu Gan’s overflowing sorrow. She took a step forward and hugged him.
Lu Gan lowered his head and leaned on her shoulder. He rarely showed this side of himself.
Song Ci hugged Lu Gan tightly. Her heart was aching.
Neither of them spoke.
…
Feeling exhausted, Lu Gan went to sleep as soon as he got home. Song Ci was right next to him. She watched as he closed his eyes.
Lu Gan slept for more than twenty-four hours.
Lu Suo became anxious.
‘Why isn’t he awake yet?’
From time to time, Lu Suo would peek into Lu Gan’s room.
“Mommy, why isn’t daddy awake yet? He didn’t eat dinner yesterday and missed today’s lunch. What’s wrong with him?”
Song Ci patted Lu Suo’s head and said gently, “Your father is exhausted. Just let him sleep a little longer, okay? When he wakes up, he’ll have dinner with you. Don’t worry, I’m here. He’ll be fine.”
Lu Suo trusted Song Ci and nodded.
This scene made Lu Suo reminisce about the time Lu Gan was in a coma. Naturally, he could not help but worry.
“Mommy, you must tell me once daddy wakes up.”
“I will.”
Song Ci smiled and watched as Lu Suo walked away.
Lu Gan’s eyes were still closed.
‘He must be really tired…’
When Song Ci returned home, she was surprised to see Zhang Huan watching television with the children. Lu Gan was nowhere to be found.
Zhang Huan was also surprised to see Song Ci. He quickly helped carry her luggage.
“You’re done with filming? Or did you take a leave?”
“I’m on leave. The production team is changing locations, so I can stay for three to five days.”
Zhang Huan nodded.
“I’ll take you to him.”
Song Ci did not know what was going on, so she shook her head.
“No need. I’ll wait for him at home. I’m sure he’ll be back soon.”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan was very insistent.
“Let me take you to him. He might feel better with you around.”
“Did something happen to him?”
Song Ci was confused. They called each other every day. If something happened, Lu Gan would definitely tell her.
“I’ll let him explain.”
After saying that, Zhang Huan drove Song Ci to Lu Heng’s grave.
Song Ci spotted Lu Gan. The latter looked depressed, lonely, and sad.
‘Why is he here? Is today Lu Heng’s birthday?’
Song Ci was unsure. She only knew that it was not Lu Heng’s death anniversary.
Anyway, Song Ci walked over carefully. It took a while for Lu Gan to notice her presence.
Lu Gan’s eyes were filled with pain. He looked at Song Ci helplessly.
Song Ci immediately hugged Lu Gan, giving him the support and comfort he needed.
‘It’s a good thing that I came home.’
Song Ci kissed Lu Gan, who was still in deep sleep. Then, she cuddled beside him.
