It was hard for Ou Ming’s arm to move. After Yu Lili helped him change into a clean pair of pants, it took a lot of effort on her part for her to change his top.
Ou Ming didn’t say a word throughout the process. Just when Yu Lili had finished fastening his last button, his healthy arm reached over and pulled her into an embrace.
Yu Lili was caught by surprise, but she soon submitted. She leaned against him and held him gently.
“Yu Lili.” Ou Ming’s voice was a little hoarse and sounded very low.
Yu Lili’s heart clenched. She tightened her arms around him. “Yeah, I’m here.”
“I want to be discharged from the hospital. Please find my parents,” he said.
“Discharged? How can you be discharged at this hour?” Yu Lili looked at his arm in the cast. Her brows knitted together.
“It’s fine. It’s not a big problem. Besides, we have our own family doctor at home. If necessary, we just need to call for him.” Ou Ming pushed her away gently. “Go on.”
Yu Lili took one look at him and knew that he was in very low spirits. This was the first time she had ever seen Ou Ming in this state. He was defeated and resigned. Gone were his self-confidence and charisma. He did not even appear calm and collected any longer.
This incident had had a huge impact on him. What Ou Ming had lost was not merely his sense of sight.
Yu Lili felt as if her heart were being squeezed by something. She looked at him intensely and murmured her consent before heading out of the room.
But, she didn’t exit. Instead, her steps slowly backtracked. Her feet moved slowly and lightly until she was facing Ou Ming.
Ou Ming’s ears were perked up. When he found there was no more sound to be heard, he relaxed. He reached his arm out to feel the area at his back. He stretched out his hand toward the headboard of the bed. Instead, his hand came in contact with a thermal bottle, which was sent tumbling to the ground with a resounding crash.
Yu Lili was about to rush up instinctively, but she paused in the middle of her actions.
Ou Ming slowly shrunk his hand back. He was soon feeling around the headboard again.
What is he looking for? Yu Lili wanted to ask him, but she didn’t dare go forward.
Ou Ming felt around for a while. When he couldn’t find what he was looking for, he positioned his hand back in front of him. He laid on the bed looking defeated.
He turned and faced his back toward the door. Yu Lili was unable to see his expression.
What is he up to?
The curiosity was driving Yu Lili crazy. She wanted to go up and help him resolve whatever it was that he needed help with. At the same time, she was worried that she would break his heart.
Yu Lili stood rooted to the spot for a long while. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard the sound of heaving breaths. She turned to look and saw the figure under the covers trembling. It wasn’t to a large extent, but it was clearly visible.
He is crying?
When Yu Lili realized this, she felt her heart shatter. The pain radiated all the way to the back of her eyes. Warm tears came pouring out. She didn’t dare to stay. She walked out quietly, opened the door, and closed it silently.
On the bed, Ou Ming suddenly stiffened. His eyes were closed, and he didn’t move.
Yu Lili walked out and made her way straight to Wen Fenglin’s room. Ou Huojin and Jiao Ziqing were both present. When they saw Yu Lili enter, they were both a little surprised.
Yu Lili took a look around and then called out respectfully, “Uncle. Auntie.”
Following that, she looked toward Wen Fenglin and asked, “Is Uncle Wen feeling any better?”
