Ning Yichu forced a curl of her lips. Fan Yuke's nose felt sore. She couldn't bear to see her like this, so she turned her back and said, "Stop laughing. Laughing is uglier than crying. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you tomorrow!"
"good."
The door was closed and Fan Yuke left the light on for her.
Ning Yichu thought about it and called Chen Bao.
The other end quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, Mommy?"
Hearing the word "Mommy", Ningning and Doudou, who were already awake, could no longer sleep. They scrambled to get their phones, "Mommy, Mommy! Brother, I want to talk to Mommy on the phone!!"
The babies are all very sensible. They know that the adults are probably busy, so they didn’t take the initiative to ask for phone calls to disturb them.
The phone was handed to Ningning, and her clear, lark-like voice came out, "Mommy, Doudou and I miss you so much! We're at grandma's house now. When will you be back?"
"Daddy and I still have some things to do, so you guys should rest at home first, darling..." Ning Yichu concealed the pain in his eyes.
Ning Ning also heard something wrong in her voice and whispered, "Okay... then Mommy, you have to take care of yourself too. We'll wait for you to pick us up!!"
"good."
Doudou also came to the phone, "Mommy..."
"Baby Dou Dou..."
"You guys should go to bed." Suddenly, Chen Bao's voice came, followed by a rustling reminder, "Okay, let's stop here for today's call. Mommy still has things to do."
He persuaded the two babies, answered the phone, opened the door and walked to the corridor, his tone a little heavy, "Mommy...how is Daddy okay?"
These two words made Ning Yichu's heart sink.
She tightened her fingers and said with a fake smile, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry. He should be back soon."
Just him, not "us".
Chen Bao keenly sensed this slight estrangement. He was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Mommy, no matter what decision you make, I will always support you."
"……good."
After finishing this phone call with my three darlings, the dizziness of the nightmare was finally dispelled.
The new caregiver was arranged by Mo Boyu. Ning Yichu drank some porridge and snacks, and felt much better. Thinking of the person living next door, his eyes flickered slightly, but in the end, he did not move and closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept very restlessly that night.
She had frequent nightmares and woke up almost three or four times an hour.
Her dreams were either about the explosion, Ning Qingwan's screams of pain, or her instructions... These mixed with her previous memories made her have a splitting headache when she slept.
At three o'clock in the morning, the nurse had already fallen asleep.
Ning Yichu stood up carefully without disturbing her and pushed open the door of the ward barefoot.
The incandescent lights in the corridor were bright, and there were people walking around in front of the nurse's desk. There was no other sound in the hospital except for a few suppressed coughs coming from other wards from time to time.
Ning Yichu walked towards the next ward.
In the intensive care unit, there is only one window for visiting.
Various complicated instruments were inserted into Li Lingyang's body. He lay sideways, and his tall figure made the originally spacious bed look narrow.
There were one or two scars on the man's handsome face. His phoenix eyes, which were usually dark and calm, were now tightly closed, without the usual sharpness and murderousness.
Ning Yichu described his distinct outlines in his mind one by one.
The curve of his lips, the straight bridge of his nose, the smooth jawline...
With his hand resting on the glass of the ward, Ning Yichu's eyes were deep and heavy, with a hint of greed.
"A Ling..."
She cried out softly, a look of loss flashed across her eyes, and she turned back to the ward.
The next morning.
When Ning Yichu opened his eyes, he felt someone pressing on his hand, and it felt heavy.
She didn't sleep well last night, and now she has a splitting headache. She can't open her eyes wide, and can only use her other arm to block the glaring sunlight in confusion, "Yu Ke..."
She thought it was Fan Yuke, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest first? Why are you here again?"
Ning Yichu realized something was wrong when she didn't get a response. She subconsciously looked over and saw the man's pair of silent, deep, cold eyes as black as ink.
"Chu Chu." Li Lingyang's lips were pale, but he still mustered up his energy and held her hand tightly. "Are you okay? Are you hungry?"
As soon as I said this, I realized my throat was very dry and my voice was hoarse.
Ning Yichu was on the verge of tears. She pinched her palms tightly to prevent herself from losing composure. She avoided Li Lingyang's caring eyes and said, "...Why are you here? You just had surgery and need observation."
"Chu Chu." Li Lingyang softened his voice, "Don't look away from me."
Ning Yichu felt very heartbroken.
On the one hand, she knew that Ning Qingwan’s death had nothing to do with Li Lingyang. On the other hand, Ning Qingwan’s screams that night and the guilt she felt had been tormenting her.
She didn't know how to face Li Lingyang...
Seeing him like this, Ning Yichu felt even worse.
She wanted to pull her hand away, but Li Lingyang held it too tightly...
"Chu Chu!" Li Lingyang hugged her tightly without saying anything. The man's tall figure was trembling slightly at this moment.
He pressed Ning Yichu's back to prevent her from breaking free. "Chuchu, I'm sorry. I didn't think calling the police would lead to this. I'm sorry... Can you forgive me?"
Ning Yichu could no longer hold back her tears, and tears fell one after another, "A Ling... She's dead! She's really dead! No matter how much I don't believe it, there's nothing I can do! I clearly, I could have saved her!"
