Chapter 448 I feel heartbroken
There was nothing unusual in his expression, and he didn't seem to care about the past at all.
"You didn't mention it because you thought I was your mother, so you couldn't bear to blame me." Mrs. Huo smiled bitterly, "But I can't forget how incompetent a mother I was. As I get older, the guilt and regret accumulate in my heart. The less you blame me, the more uncomfortable I feel."
"There is still a chance to make amends, right?" Huo Xilin said, "If you really feel sorry for me, be nicer to my wife and children in the future."
When Mrs. Huo heard this, her eyes softened: "Okay!"
It's not like she had never confessed to Huo Xilin before, but Huo Xilin's attitude towards her was always lukewarm. He always told her that things were in the past, he didn't care, and he didn't need her to do anything for him.
Mrs. Huo felt very sad when she heard these words. She knew clearly that the child had grown up and she had already missed the time when he needed her the most, so no matter what she said or did, it was meaningless.
She thought that she would never have the chance to make amends for her past mistakes in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, the child was willing to give her another chance.
And all of these are the daughter-in-law Xu Qingsui.
Old Madam Huo turned her head and looked at Xu Qingsui with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
"Mom, I'm a little sleepy. You and Aunt Wang go back first." Huo Xilin looked at the sky outside the window. It was already pitch black, and he couldn't help but order them to leave.
His injuries haven't recovered yet, perhaps because he hesitated to take the medicine, so he spends a lot of time sleeping and resting every day.
"Okay, call me anytime if you have anything. I'll leave first." After saying this to Xu Qingsui, Mrs. Huo left the ward with Aunt Wang.
"Would you like some water?" Although Xu Qingsui was asking Huo Xilin's opinion, his hand had already reached for the cup.
Huo Xi had a habit of drinking water before going to bed. Over time, Xu Qingsui remembered this habit of his.
"I don't want to drink water." Huo Xilin said.
Xu Qingsui was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "Why? Don't you drink water every time before going to bed?"
Today was so unusual, it was incredible.
However, when Xu Qingsui met Huo Xilin's resentful gaze, she actually felt a little guilty, and always felt that there was something wrong with Huo Xilin.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Xilin asked aggrievedly: "Don't you smell that I stink?"
"Ah?" Xu Qingsui came close to Huo Xilin, sniffed hard, and then said seriously: "No, there is no smell except the smell of medicine and disinfectant. Where is the stink?"
"Isn't the smell of medicine and disinfectant bad enough?" Huo Xilin said angrily, "Are you unwilling to wipe my body? Since I was hospitalized, how long have I not showered?"
Xu Qingsui almost forgot that Huo Xilin was a mysophobic person and was particularly fond of cleanliness.
It was really hard for him, he had been lying in bed for so long, and due to his injuries, he could not move or even take a bath.
"I'll get some hot water and wipe you." After Xu Qingsui said this, he got up and went to the bathroom, then took a basin and filled it with hot water.
Since Huo Xilin couldn't move, Xu Qingsui had to do everything herself. She carefully helped him unbutton his clothes, and when she saw his original abdominal muscles turned into muscular ribs, she felt very uncomfortable.
In just a few days, Huo Xilin has lost so much weight. Well, apart from eating some simple liquid food, the rest of his nutrition can only be maintained by intravenous drip. Even a body of iron cannot withstand such torture.
And all the suffering he was going through now was because of her. If he hadn't blocked the car driven by Qin Wei for her, he would be the one lying on the bed now.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingsui couldn't help but shed tears.
Feeling the warm tears falling on his skin, Huo Xilin panicked instantly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
He used the hand that could move to gently lift her face, stroked her face with his fingers, and wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "Don't cry, if you don't want to forget it, I just want to take advantage of you, I don't mean anything else."
If he had known that it would make Xu Qingsui cry, he would have held it back. Huo Xilin really regretted it.
Xu Qingsui shook his head and said distressedly: "Brother Huo, you have lost weight. It's not that I don't want to, but it hurts to see you lose so much weight in a short time."
"Silly boy, it's normal for people to lose weight when they are sick. After they recover and are discharged from the hospital, they will grow back after a while. At least we are all alive and well. Being alive is more important than anything else, right?" Huo Xilin continued, "Don't be sad. We have survived a disaster and we should be happy every day. Seeing you sad makes me feel bad. Do you want me to not be able to rest even when I am recovering from my illness?"
Xu Qingsui didn't know how to answer Huo Xilin's question. How could she not understand the truth behind what he said? But sometimes people's moods cannot be controlled by reason.
"Let me help you wipe your body first." Xu Qingsui wiped the corners of his eyes, and then tried his best to force out a smile that was uglier than crying. Afraid that he could not hold it back, he quickly broke free from Huo Xilin's hand, then squatted on the ground, took the towel out of the hot water, wrung out the water, and then carefully helped Huo Xilin wipe his body.
After we were done, we called medical staff to help change him into a set of clean clothes.
After finishing all these, it was already late. Xu Qingsui turned off the lights, leaving only a wall lamp on, and walked towards the accompanying bed as usual, but was grabbed by Huo Xilin: "Sleep with me."
"No!" Xu Qingsui refused without thinking: "Your injury hasn't healed yet. I'm afraid you might get crushed by accident at night. If you cause secondary damage, it will be troublesome!"
"But I can't sleep well at night without you by my side." Huo Xilin said pitifully.
Seeing Xu Qingsui hesitated and didn't speak, Huo Xilin continued, "Look, this bed is so big. You can just lie next to me. You will be fine. Why bother? You sleep very well at night and never move around."
"Really?" Xu Qingsui asked doubtfully.
She didn't know if she would move around when she fell asleep, because ever since she had been with Huo Xilin, as long as they slept in the same bed, every time she woke up, she would be held in Huo Xilin's arms, unless he got up earlier than her.
