Chapter 66 Don’t Be Afraid of Me
Ling Tianyi was with Xia Xiaoluo in the hospital, and his heart was suffering every second. Although the doctor has told Ling Tianyi for many times that the patient’s condition was stable after the examination. As long as Xia Xiaoluo didn’t wake up, he would be worried all the time.
The hospital was quiet these two days without any bothering from reporters or JCs. Of course, this was because of the power of Sir Ling. He dealt with it just by making a few phone calls. Moreover, Sir Ling also knew the affairs of Xia Xiaoluo clearly through his own channels.
Although Ling Desheng knew that all this was a misunderstanding, and Xia Xiaoluo was also a victim. But Ling Desheng has been in business all his life. He also understood the truth that flies did not bite seamless eggs. It was just because there were so many problems in Xia Xiaoluo herself, such as her birth, personality and so on, resulting in the situation today.
Ling Desheng couldn’t help feeling pessimistic about the future of the marriage between his son and daughter-in-law. He still believed that only a marriage between families of equal social rank could enable them to live happily forever. And Ling Desheng, a sophisticated and shrewd person, was dissatisfied with the Xia family and Xia’s Group behind Xia Xiaoluo.
Ling Desheng thought that since the public didn’t know his son’s marriage, he would simply keep it secret. If the young couple divorced one day, he would definitely select a suitable woman for his son.
Ling Desheng was a calm person. He would not say anything to anyone until he decided. Therefore, Ling Tianyi, who was in the hospital, did not know his father’s intentions. He just thought to himself that when the little girl wakes up, he would take good care of her. Maybe it would be a good thing to spend a lifetime with this little girl.
Hard work pays off. After Ling Tianyi spent 48 hours in the hospital, Xia Xiaoluo finally woke up. After an examination by the doctor, it was confirmed that Xia Xiaoluo was out of danger and could move to the public ward.
Ling Tianyi was relieved finally, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened.
“Darling, you finally woke up. It was great!” After Xia Xiaoluo was pushed into the public ward, Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hand and expressed his feeling with great excitement.
Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi. The first thing she remembered was not that Xia Jingru pushed her into the well, nor the darkness in the well, but that Ling Tianyi asked her to look for the evidence. However, when she looked around, only to find that the incomplete recording pen disappeared.
She lost the evidence, and she couldn’t give Ling Tian any explanation. So she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would blame her. She looked at Ling Tianyi carefully, with her eyes full of fear.
Ling Tianyi was shocked when he saw Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes filled with fear. He didn’t expect she thought him like this. He was her Patron God. Why was she afraid of him?
Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes hurt Ling Tianyi’s heart, which made him very painful.
“Xiaoluo, how do you feel? Is there anything wrong with you now?” Ling Tianyi tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible so that Xia Xiaoluo would not be afraid of him again.
“Record… recording pen!” Xia Xiaoluo said in a weak voice.
Ling Tianyi did not hear what Xia Xiaoluo said clearly, so he got closer to the mouth of Xia Xiaoluo. Before Xia Xiaoluo repeated it, a doctor came in.
Ling Tianyi stood up and asked the doctor, “You told me that she has been out of danger. Why is she still too weak to speak?”
“Manager Ling, don’t worry. Now the patient’s fever was gone and the inflammation of the injuries has been controlled. As long as she can eat something later, she will regain some physical strength.” The doctor said.
Ling Tianyi nodded. When he wanted to ask what Xia Xiaoluo said just now, Xia Xiaoluo fell asleep again.
“Manager Ling, the patient is out of danger, but she is still weak. It is not suitable for her to eat too much these two days. When she wakes up again, you can give her some porridge. We will observe her for two more days, if there is no serious problem, you can go home and have a rest. When she goes home for recovery, I suggest letting her eat more healthy food because she is too weak.” The doctor said. This time in the hospital, the doctor did a comprehensive health examination for Xia Xiaoluo and found that she was lack of nutrition.
“Okay, I see.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Well, Manager Ling, I’ll go out first. If you need anything, just press the beeper.” The doctor finished her words and left Xia Xiaoluo’s VIP ward.
When Xia Xiaoluo woke up again, it was evening. Ling Tianyi immediately took out warm porridge and fed Xia Xiaoluo. Ling Tianyi’s movements were cautious and clumsy, but containing all his concerns.
He Meishu saw this with great pleasure and smiled. Her son cared about his wife so much that they must be intimate with each other. She would continue to cook her daughter-in-law some healthy food. When her daughter-in-law got better, the young couple would be much more intimate, they would give her a grandson.
After Xia Xiaoluo finished her meal, Ling Tianyi wanted to talk to her alone. After all, before Xia Xiaoluo’s accident, they had had a very unpleasant argument. He wanted to eliminate the shadow caused by it.
Ling Tianyi said to his mother He Meishu, “Mom, now Xiaoluo is fine and I will be with her. You are tired these two days. Go home and have a rest!”
“All right, I will take you breakfast tomorrow morning.”
“Unfortunately, the doctor says that Xiaoluo can only eat light food now, otherwise I will cook ginseng chicken soup for her.”
“Hey, my son, don’t forget your dad’s words. I will look after Xiaoluo during the daytime tomorrow, you must go back to the company and come back here after work in the afternoon. Otherwise, your dad will lose his temper. I can’t save you.”
“What’s more…”
He Meishu seemed to be a chatterbox. Even if nobody talked to her, she could also talk to herself. Ling Tianyi was impatient and said to He Meishu, “Mom, I know. I will go to the company tomorrow. Can you go home now?”
“Or, you both go home! I am fine, I’ll stay in the hospital by myself.” Xia Xiaoluo wanted to drive Ling Tianyi away because she got into trouble and did not dare to be with Ling Tianyi by herself.
“How can it be?” Ling Tianyi and He Meishu spoke with one voice.
“Xiaoluo, you are too weak now, and it’s better to let Tianyi stay with you. If you do not feel well, he can help you to call a doctor, right?” He Meishu actually hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could strengthen their relationships so that she could have a grandson as soon as possible.
“I can press the beeper when I need help in the hospital. In fact, I am really fine, you can go home to have a rest!” Xia Xiaoluo insisted on driving Ling Tianyi away, because she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would blame her.
Xia Xiaoluo’s refusal made Ling Tianyi very dissatisfied. He quickly stood up, “I will be here tonight, and I will go back when mother takes breakfast here tomorrow morning. It’s deal, there is no room for negotiation.”
There was no doubt that Ling Tianyi’s tone was firm. Xia Xiaoluo did not dare to contradict again and she had to shut up obediently. There was fear in her eyes again, which made Ling Tianyi very angry. He didn’t like the little girl to be so afraid of him.
“Mom, I will send you downstairs first.” Ling Tianyi said with a gloomy face. He saw He Meishu to the gate of the hospital and watched her get on Jie’s car before returning to the ward alone.
Xia Xiaoluo saw Ling Tianyi come back and immediately began to pretend to be asleep, but she had slept for a long time so she could not go to sleep at all. Although the eyes were closed, the eyeballs moved around under the eyelids and the eyelashes trembled slightly.
Ling Tianyi shook his head helplessly. Why did the little girl hate him so much? In these two days, he was too anxious to eat and sleep. But she didn’t know at all, and she wanted to drive him away, and then pretended to be asleep and refused to talk to him. Was the little girl still angry, because that day he was too rude to her?
Was she angry or afraid?
Or both angry and afraid?
Ling Tianyi didn’t want to be like this anymore. He hated the atmosphere. He had to untie this knot between them and eliminate the heart knot between them.
“Since you can’t sleep, don’t pretend to be.” Ling Tianyi said calmly.
Xia Xiaoluo’s eyebrows wrinkled, she really couldn’t pretend anymore. When she didn’t pretend to be asleep, it was OK. But when she pretended to be asleep and was unable to move, she felt itchy all over the body and wanted to scratch her head and face.
Xia Xiaoluo opened her eyes and scratched where she did not dare to scratch just now. And then she looked at Ling Tianyi sadly, “Darling, I am sorry. I know that I was wrong. I make you in trouble again. But I didn’t fall into the well on purpose. I promise that I won’t make you in trouble again in the future. Don’t be angry with me and forgive me once again, okay?”
“Ok!” Ling Tianyi answered without thinking.
Xia Xiaoluo’s apology just now really hurt Ling Tianyi’s.
He did not want to blame her. Since her accident, he has been expecting her to get better quickly. During this period, he was self-blamed, guilty and regretful. He didn’t want to blame her.
Now she was better, he just wanted to talk to her and untie the heart knot between them. However, when she said these things, it seemed that the relationship between them had been pushed aside again.
Ling Tianyi’s answer surprised Xia Xiaoluo. She could hardly believe her own ears. “Really? You will not punish me?”
“Yes, it is true.” Ling Tianyi gave Xia Xiaoluo a positive answer seriously.
Xia Xiaoluo grinned and the fear in her eyes nearly disappeared. Ling Tianyi liked her smile and he couldn’t help looking at her.
“But I haven’t found any evidence. Luo Xixi gave me a recording pen. I only recorded a little, but I can’t find it now.” Xia Xiaoluo looked around and her expression was very frustrated. In order to record more evidence, she ventured to follow Xia Jingru. She was pushed into the well by Xia Jingru and almost lost her life, but lost the recording pen finally.
