He murmured softly, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.
Little Yueyue sat on the other side, quietly watching over her mother.
Xiao Ying's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she were about to wake up. Both of them held their breath instantly, watching her slowly open her eyes.
At first her eyes were blank, but after focusing, they showed surprise.
"Comrade Li...? Yueyue?" Her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
"Yes, it's me." Li Da suddenly felt his eyes welling up. "Don't talk, just rest."
Xiao Ying turned her gaze to her daughter, who was sitting on the edge of the bed silently shedding tears, and gave her a comforting smile, "Mom, it's okay... don't cry!"
Little Yueyue held her hand tightly, but upon hearing this, she quickly let go, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said, "Yes, Mommy, I won't cry!"
Xiao Ying smiled weakly, then looked back at Li Da with a questioning expression.
"Yes, you saved me?"
Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to see a familiar figure running towards her, with a look of panic, helplessness, and anxiety on his face that she had never seen before.
"I just got back and saw that you had been knocked over by a car, so I took you to the hospital with Dr. Bai."
Yesterday, Comrade Lin, Dr. Bai, and Grandpa and Grandma Bai were there to take care of you.
Li Da knew what she wanted to ask. "I've reported it to the police, and I've provided the license plate number. Now we just need to wait for their results."
Xiao Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and gently closed her eyes.
Just when Li Da thought she had fallen asleep again, she suddenly whispered, "Thank you..."
Those three simple words caused Li Da's heart to clench painfully.
He didn't want her to thank him; that would seem too distant.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "No need to thank me. I'm back this time... and I don't plan to leave again."
Xiao Ying opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Little Yueyue glanced at her mother and Uncle Li, knowing that the adults had something to talk about, and quickly got up. "Mom, I'm going to find the doctor."
Her mother had asked her before if she would like Uncle Li to be her father, and at that time she knew that Uncle Li had taken up residence in her mother's heart.
Of course, she also really likes Uncle Li as her father. He always brings her gifts when he comes back. He is gentle and considerate, and most importantly, he is very good to her mother. This has been the case for years.
Seeing Xiaoyueyue leave, Li Da mustered his courage and gently took her hand: "When you're better, I have something to tell you."
He didn't say what he was saying, but Xiao Ying's ears turned red.
She nodded slightly, already guessing what he was going to say, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
She knew best what was happening in her own mind. She also knew his attitude; even if he didn't say anything, she planned to have a proper talk about the future when he came back.
Outside the window, a gentle breeze rustles through the lush green treetops.
Li Da knew that from this moment on, his life would take a completely new turn. And this time, he would never let happiness slip through his fingers again.
The two looked at each other silently.
Not long after, the doctor came and examined her.
"The recovery is going well. I'll have injections at the hospital for the next two days, and then I can get my medication and go home to rest."
"Thank you, doctor!"
