Ji Nuan couldn’t take back her hand. It wasn’t until she was forced to nod that Mo Jingshen let go of her.
After the meal, he came to apply the medicine on her hand. He made her sit on the sofa, held her hand, and began to apply the medicine. His movement was gentle as if he was afraid that it would hurt, but it surely ached when the medicine was applied on her hand. Ji Nuan endured the pain and didn’t groan but pursed her lips and looked at the man whose movement was incredibly gentle.
Knowing that she was unwilling to let him touch her, Mo Jingshen still patiently applied the medicine on her hand.
When Auntie Chen came out of the kitchen and saw this scene, she smiled and quietly went back into the kitchen so as not to disturb them.
“I can do it myself.” After Mo Jingshen applied the medicine on her right hand, he was about to do it to her left hand, but Ji Nuan reached out for the medicine in his hand.
The man stopped her. “Don’t move.”
Ji Nuan looked at him and didn’t speak but impatiently frowned. When the man finally let go of her hand, she immediately backed away to keep her distance from him.
Mo Jingshen slowly put the medicine aside. Seeing the women so far away from him, he frowned. “You don’t have to show your attitude all the time. I know how you feel. I’ll give you time.”
He could tell that Ji Nuan had actually forgiven him for what he did to her three years ago, especially when all the truth was laid before her, she had to let go.
But the divide that he made with his own hand still remained. She grew up alone these three years, and there had been many more indestructible things in her character.
She needed time.
Ji Nuan took a look at him, got up, and left without a word. She closed the door of the bedroom, without even looking back.
Mo Jingshen walked to the balcony in the living room and made a call, overlooking the view of the city. As soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Was Ji Nuan in the hospital for the whole two months when I was in a coma from that car accident three years ago?”
On the other side of the line, Qin Siting paused at the unexpected question and then answered, “She was in the hospital all the time except for the days when she was taken home by your mother, Ms. Wan Zhu.”
“What was she doing in the hospital every day?”
“She just waited. She had just had a miscarriage and was in poor physical and mental condition, but she had not shed a single drop of tear and was terribly calm. She just waited outside your ward every day. The doctor didn’t allow her to go in, so she just stood outside the room like a fool, without making any noise. When she was tired, she just sat on the chair outside the door for a while. Every time she saw a doctor come out of your ward, she jumped up and asked when you would wake up. She was like that day after day. In the end, as no one could be sure when you would wake up, even your parents had to go back to normal life and no longer stay in the hospital every day, but she still guarded outside your ward alone. Separated from you by a door, she could not get in, but didn’t leave.”
Feeling sorry for Ji Nuan, Qin Siting sighed. “You know better than anyone what kind of a person Ji Nuan is. Were you afraid that you couldn’t have the heart to divorce her, so you refused to listen to my words before you were going to divorce her?”
Mo Jingshen’s gaze fixed on a certain spot outside the window, and he remained silent for a long time.
Qin Siting. “What? Now Ji Nuan is having a wonderful life and no longer depends on you. Do you feel bad about the fact your woman is completely out of your control?”
Mo Jingshen: “…”
“Are you asking me this now to understand all the pain she had suffered? You were sleeping back then, so she had to bury all the regrets and sadness about the miscarriage deep in her heart because nothing is more horrible than the news that you would never wake up, but when you opened your eyes, the first words you said were that you wanted to divorce her without even giving her a buffer time. I can’t imagine how much she loved you that she tried to keep you by her side over and over again regardless of her dignity when you cold-shouldered her. At that time, she would still talk to everyone with a smile every day, as if your presence was her greatest motivation and with you by her side, nothing could beat her down. In the end, however, she still gave up and became desperate, and you were that butcher that murdered her hope!”
Getting no response from Mo Jingshen, Qin Siting sneered again. “Last time her friend gave birth to a baby in my hospital, we chatted. She didn’t even mention you and seemed not to be interested in you at all. I think it’s hard for you to get her back. Perhaps you can’t even get a chance to see her, can you?”
After a long pause, Mo Jingshen glanced at the door of the bedroom and said indifferently, “Yes, terribly hard.”
Qin Siting. “What’s wrong with you? You sound unhappy. Would you like me to come over and have a drink with you? Tell me where you are, and I can lend you my shoulder.”
Mo Jingshen answered flatly. “Ao Lan International.”
Qin Siting sneered. “You’ve been living there for the whole three years. Is your abandoned wife working in the MN Group or chatting happily with some man at a dinner party? I have to say it’s too late for you to play affectionate now!”
Mo Jingshen didn’t mind Qin Siting’s scorn. He hung up and turned his eyes to the shut door of the bedroom.
Ji Nuan had been sleeping these days. Now it was still noon, and she couldn’t possibly sleep, but she didn’t get out of the bedroom.
He threw his cell phone to the sofa and walked over without any hesitation. Then he twisted the knob to open the door. This was his apartment. Ji Nuan didn’t lock from the inside of the door because she knew it wouldn’t stop him, so he easily opened the door.
The curtains were drawn in the bedroom, and light fell in as soon as the door was opened. Ji Nuan, who was sitting on the bedside rug and in a daze, was startled, raised her eyes, and stared at the man coming toward her.
“What do you want to do?” She asked vigilantly.
Without a word, Mo Jingshen dragged her up from the rug and pushed her onto the bed.
“Mo Jingshen.” Ji Nuan frowned unhappily when he reached out to hug her, but the man remained quiet.
Ji Nuan was angry. “Mo Jingshen!”
“I said I would give you time, but it doesn’t mean that I allow you to sit on the ground with the air conditioner at 20 degrees. You haven’t recovered. Do you want to get a cold?”
Ji Nuan didn’t notice the temperature of the air-conditioner. She felt hot sitting here, so she picked up the remote control of the air-conditioner and pressed it casually. She didn’t expect that she’d set the air conditioner to such a low temperature.
What was wrong about sitting on the ground? She was sitting on a rug, not directly on the floor beside it, as she had been used to it when she could not sleep at night in England.
