Chapter 433: Chapter 430
Now she is his best friend’s fiancée.
His lips moved slightly as he was about to say something, but Lu Xiao lifted his hand, interrupting him.
He could tell that Lu Xiao was feeling quite heavy-hearted.
At the moment, Lu Xiao held one of Wen Xian’s hands and sat down on a chair beside the hospital bed.
He just quietly watched her. Even if Wen Xian had just come out of the emergency room, she was still beautiful, yet not in her usual bright and enchanting way. Now, she had a more fragile beauty about her.
His heart felt stifled and sore, but even more than that, filled with tender affection.
She was not pregnant. Her body was weak and cold, not easily conceiving, and it was the latter that pained him more than the former.
Because he knew what she had gone through.
From a young age, she lost her spleen and worked so hard in her acting career, enduring severe hardships to make a place for herself in this world.
And her body had paid a price for her health to some extent.
She appeared so strong on the surface, a tenacious, passionate wild rose, but in reality, she also had moments of vulnerability and helplessness.
And as he gazed deeply at her, the corners of Wen Xian’s eyes seemed to moisten slightly.
A single tear slid down from her eye.
But she still had her eyes closed, as if deep in sleep.
The slowly trickling tear, entering his field of vision, shook his heart. It felt as though a tear had been ripped in his soul, bleeding profusely.
He suddenly stood up, one hand bracing against the head of her bed, while the other gently wiped away the tear stains from the corners of her eyes.
When he held her hand again, he clenched it more tightly.
At this moment, Wen Xian’s damp eyelashes trembled slightly, and then, she slowly opened her eyes.
Her tearful, reddened eyes met Lu Xiao’s.
Their gazes locked, neither speaking immediately, yet their eyes seemed to convey a wealth of emotion to each other.
She had heard the doctor’s words just now.
Lu Xiao continued to gaze at her and after gently wiping away the tears from her eyes, he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her forehead and eyes.
His voice was gentle, “It’s alright, you’ll get better.”
The child was not a concern now; she would have one. Her health wasn’t good, but now was a good time for her to rest and recover after filming. She should nourish her body daily. She was still young, and everything would get better.
At the moment, he had been better off silent, but as soon as he spoke, the water brimming in Wen Xian’s eyes couldn’t help but fall. She wiped her face and clenched her little fists, trying to restrain the complex emotions in her heart, and responded with a faint hum.
She guessed she wasn’t pregnant, but she hadn’t expected to hear the doctor say that her body would have difficulty conceiving.
It suddenly reminded her of the times she filmed in pools during the winter while on her period. She thought she had been so dedicated and hardworking, but little did she know the price she would pay one day.
What if she never became pregnant?
She didn’t want to cry, especially in front of Lu Xiao, but in that moment, she couldn’t control herself.
After hearing the doctor’s words, she became fearful, worried that she really couldn’t conceive and that she wouldn’t be able to give birth to their child with Lu Xiao in the future.
She held back the sour complexity in her heart, turned her head away, not looking at him, and sniffed her reddened nose.
Her cheeks were coated with strands of hair dampened by tears.
