Although the medical facilities at home were not bad, the equipment at the Mo Family Hospital was more comprehensive and a bit more advanced.
Grandpa Wu, although an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, couldn’t guarantee that his medical skills could solve all ailments.
Yu Siqiao hesitated for a moment but decided to take a shower anyway.
Yet in less than ten minutes, Yu Siqiao came back, now dressed in a set of loose cotton clothes, found for him by Ji Nan in Mo Shu’s wardrobe.
Yu Siqiao walked straight to Mo Shu’s side first thing.
Mo Shu’s face was very pale; her eyes tightly shut, and the sound from the heart rate monitor next to her beeped, seemingly a little slow.
Yu Siqiao sat down beside her bed and reached out to take her hand. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovelHub(.)net
Her hand, taken from under the covers, was soft but somewhat cold.
This temperature should not be that of a hand just removed from under the blankets.
It was then that Yu Siqiao abruptly realized the gravity of the situation. He clenched her hand tightly and said, "Wasn’t she all right this afternoon?"
Everyone also knew she was fine in the afternoon.
But now, suddenly, things changed.
Nobody could explain it.
Yu Siqiao held her hand and whispered, "Leave it to me here, Grandpa Mo, Grandpa Wu. You go rest for now, and I’ll send for you if anything happens."
"Yes, with Shushu not waking up, there’s no point in you staying here," Yu Jinggang said. "It’s better to go back and conserve your energy."
After a conversation, they finally coaxed the elders to leave.
A few of the younger ones were also forcefully sent away by Ji Nan and others.
Yu Siqiao held Mo Shu’s hand, his emotions extremely complex.
Yu Chen came over, offering a cup of water, "Have a drink."
Yu Siqiao didn’t move, instead saying, "You go back too. I want to be alone with her for a bit."
Yu Chen understood his feelings, placed the cup aside, and as he was leaving, suddenly stopped. He said, "Don’t overthink it. Princess Mo will surely wake up."
Yu Siqiao remained silent.
Yu Chen quickly had Ji Nan and the others taken out as well.
In the vast room, only Mo Shu and Yu Siqiao remained.
The entire space was so quiet that only the sound of the heart rate monitor could be heard.
Yu Siqiao held her hand and suddenly let out a soft, hoarse laugh, "What do you mean by this?"
Mo Shu, in her daze, seemed to hear Yu Siqiao’s voice.
The whole body was in pain.
Limbs, underarms, stomach...
"The one who should be angry is me, the one who should be throwing a fit is me, the one who should be feigning unconsciousness and playing dead should also be me, so what are you doing lying here?"
Mo Shu wanted to move, but it felt as though every nerve in her body was being tugged at, a pull on one affecting everything, every cell seemed to tremble.
"What do you see me as, huh?" Yu Siqiao bit his teeth and couldn’t help but squeeze her hand a bit harder.
Suddenly, the heart rate monitor beeped rapidly for a few moments.
Yu Siqiao startled, looked over at the monitor, and then his gaze turned wistful, "You keep pushing me towards Gu Wenjuan time and again, do you think that doing so is noble?"
The frequency on the heart rate monitor seemed to quicken again.
Yu Siqiao felt a rasp in his throat, and in a rough voice, he said, "Mo Shu, you really hurt me."
Mo Shu faintly heard this sentence, and her heart felt as if struck heavily.
Painful to the point of almost, being unable to breathe.
It wasn’t like that...
Mo Shu wanted to struggle, to speak, but she couldn’t move.
The low and rough voice of Yu Siqiao reached her ears, he said, "What do you see me as?"
How about letting the main female character wander back into the real world for a bit?
