Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the hospital and the doctor felt relieved because there was nothing serious and Xia Xiaoluo would recover in several days.
Although there was nothing serious, the doctor told everything about Xia Xiaoluo’s health to Ling Tianyi carefully. There were some scratches on her neck and some bundled bruises. What was more, Xia Xiaoluo caught a cold a slight fever because she had stayed in the utility room without an air conditioner, just wearing a swimming suit and a wet bathrobe.
“I know, even though there is nothing serious, you must give her the best treatment because I hope that she can recover as soon as possible.” Ling Tianyi said coldly and then he sneezed.
He was wearing a bathrobe and his swimming trunks because he was so anxious about Xia Xiaoluo that he forgot to change clothes. The bathrobe was totally wet and he couldn’t stand it even though he was strong. The doctor realized it, so he said to Ling Tianyi immediately, “Manager Ling, it seems that you also caught a cold, so you’d better take some medicine and have a good rest.”
“Xiaotong, take some dry clothes for Manager Ling or buy high-quality pajamas in the mall.” The doctor ordered the nurse and then said to Ling Tianyi, “Manager Ling, I know you are strong, but please take care of yourself well.”
“I see, give me some medicine that won’t make me sleepy because I will look after her tonight. I want her to see me when she wakes up at midnight.” While speaking, Ling Tianyi kept looking at Xia Xiaoluo in bed tenderly, which surprised the doctor a lot.
“OK, I will.” The doctor went out after that. Ling Tianyi was still looking at Xia Xiaoluo and he was worried that something more serious would happen to her again.
It was the second time that made him feel so scared. The first time was when Xia Xiaoluo almost died due to Xia Jingru. At that time, he made up his mind to protect the poor girl carefully. However, he failed. His sweetheart had been taken away during the period when he went to buy something to eat. His sweetheart had suffered much due to his negligence.
“Darling, help me, I’m so scared…” Xia Xiaoluo murmured in the dream.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo was looking for him when she was frightened in the dream, Ling Tianyi was a little comforted, because his sweetheart would depend on him and ask him for help when she was in danger. Ling Tianyi liked it, but he didn’t protect her well.
“Relax and take it easy. I’m here with you.” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo’s hands, trying to warm her.
“Darling, I’m so scared!” Xia Xiaoluo continued to murmur in her dream. Seeing this, Ling Tianyi also lay on the bed and embraced his sweetheart, “Don’t worry and have a good sleep. I will protect you!”
Being half-asleep, Xia Xiaoluo took Ling Tianyi’s arm tightly and then fell asleep at ease.
Seeing that Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were lying together intimately, the doctor and the nurse who brought dry clothes and medicine didn’t know whether to come in or not.
Seeing that there were some people outside, Ling Tianyi waved to them to let them in, “Just leave those things here.”
“OK, Xiaotong, put the clothes on the bedside table for Manager Ling.” The doctor said to Xiaotong, who had just graduated. Seeing that they were lying together intimately, Xiaotong became very shy and hid behind the doctor immediately with a reddish face after putting those clothes on the bedside table.
The doctor was accustomed to it, after all he was more than 40 years old. He gave the medicine to Ling Tianyi, “Manager Ling, you should take it at once.”
“Xiaotong, bring some water!” The doctor ordered the nurse again. Xiaotong wanted to leave, but she had to do that bashfully.
“It will not make me sleepy, right?” Ling Tianyi asked the doctor again.
“No. Please don’t worry.” The doctor pointed at the beeper beside the bed, “Manager Ling, please press it if something happens and we will be here soon.”
“Okay, you can leave now.” Ling Tianyi said.
They left and Ling Tianyi kept embracing Xia Xiaoluo after taking the medicine. Wearing wet swimming trunks, he was afraid that he would make the bed wet as well, so he intended to change his clothes. However, Xia Xiaoluo held one of his arms tightly, so he had to take off his swimming trunks and take the new pajama trousers on with one hand.
But the sheet was wet despite his carefulness.
He pressed the beeper and a lot of medical staff came immediately.
“There is nothing serious. The sheet is wet. Please change it for me.” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the sofa and continued to embrace her.
Ling Tianyi didn’t take Xia Xiaoluo back until several nurses changed the new sheet and quilt.
Ling Tianyi kept his upper body naked because he was not able to change clothes with Xia Xiaoluo taking one of his arms tightly. He tried to warm Xia Xiaoluo with his body and Xia Xiaoluo’s face looked better.
It was late, so Ling Tianyi turned the light down and quietly looked at Xia Xiaoluo who was sleeping deeply. There were love, concern and cherish in his eyes.
Ling Tianyi kept awake to look after Xia Xiaoluo, worrying that his sweetheart would disappear again if he closed his eyes.
He thought that Xia Xiaoluo was so stupid that she was taken away easily. But he was not able to bring Xia Xiaoluo with him all the time. Although Xia Xiaoluo was safe this time, he didn’t know whether he could save her if something bad happened to her again. What’s more, he didn’t know what would happen to him if something wrong really happened to her next time.
Ling Tianyi thought that he must teach his sweetheart how to protect herself after she recovered. It was so lucky that his sweetheart, the careless girl, could live so long without anything wrong. In fact, something wrong did happen to his little wife. She delivered a wrong take-out, which was the start of their love.
“Darling, you should be smarter next time. Although I like your stupid behavior, I don’t want that something bad happens to you. So, be smarter, okay?” Ling Tianyi said to her and kissed her forehead even though she couldn’t hear.
Ling Tianyi’s cell phone was not there, so he took the cordless telephone in the hospital to call Yao Sheng. Ling Tianyi remembered his number, so he could call him without an address list.
“Crap! He doesn’t answer it!” Ling Tianyi threw the telephone away.
He wanted to ask something, but Xia Xiaoluo was asleep. He had to resort to Yao Sheng, but he felt something unusual after hanging up.
Shen Jiani had a serious stomachache but she was well after a few minutes. Then, Yao Sheng disappeared and it was Shen Jiani who took Xia Xiaoluo back. Ling Tianyi doubted that Yao Sheng might be involved.
But he abandoned the idea later because Yao Sheng wasn’t there. In fact, he called Yao Sheng to come and Shen Jiani was with him. It should be a coincidence.
Ling Tianyi thought that Yao Sheng must be making love to that dissolute woman, so he didn’t answer his call. He disliked Shen Jiani, but he would say nothing because Yao Sheng loved her very much. He didn’t care about anything as long as his sweetheart was safe.
Xia Xiaoluo drifted off into a fitful sleep and finally woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning.
“Darling, where am I?” Xia Xiaoluo asked weakly.
Ling Tianyi helped her to change a posture, “We are in the hospital. I am so worried about you!”
“In the hospital?” Xia Xiaoluo was confused. Ling Tianyi said to her, “You were kidnapped and I couldn’t find you. And you got fainted the moment I saw you. You always make me worried about you.”
Xia Xiaoluo suddenly thought of what happened and took Ling Tianyi’s arms at once, leaning on him, “Darling, I’m so scared!”
“Relax and don’t worry. We are in the hospital and I will be with you to protect you!” Ling Tianyi comforted Xia Xiaoluo.
“Okay.” Xia Xiaoluo felt warm and at ease in his hug. It seemed that she feared nothing.
“Darling, what happened? Why did you go with a stranger?” Ling Tianyi asked and felt a little annoyed due to her behaviors.
“Darling, that man came the moment you left. He pretended to fainted and asked me to take him to his room because he could hardly walk on his own. I knew that you would be worried about me when you came back, finding me not there, but I decided to help him because he was so weak.” Xia Xiaoluo said in a low voice as if she had made a big mistake.
“What happened later? How did he kidnap you?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“I followed him to a rest room and the door was locked suddenly. I couldn’t open it and he told me that I could get out through the exhaust fan. For fear that you would worry about me, I followed him to go through the pipeline.
“The pipeline?” I should have thought of it.” Ling Tianyi regretted. If he could have found it earlier, his sweetheart would have suffered less.
“We came out from another exhaust fan and it was a utility room. He bundled me and taped my mouth.” Xia Xiaoluo said with grievances.
“Fuck!” Ling Tianyi clenched his fists tightly.
“Darling, he said much to me. He is the son of the policeman who was about to retire. He is revenging!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“He must go to hell!” Ling Tianyi’s eyes turned red due to anger. He must punish the people severely who hurt his little wife, or he was not Ling Tianyi anymore.
“But it seemed that he and your friend who is a detective are friends, because your friend took him away.” Xia Xiaoluo said and Ling Tianyi was shocked, “What? Yao Sheng took him away?”
