Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Jian Han’s condition got worse and worse. She slept on the bed everyday and did not open her eyes anymore. She did not have the strength to open her eyes, and she did not want to open her eyes.
Zhou Dayuan would stay by her side every day and not go anywhere else. She started to not be able to eat her meals. Zhou Dayuan would create a variety of dishes for her as he prepared her meals. He’d personally feed her spoonful by spoonful. The woman was obedient. She would eat when he fed her, but she would vomit all of it up when she barely swallowed it.
Master Bill came over a few times to visit her. He would shake his head. With Jian Han’s condition right now, she was not suitable to undergo hypnosis treatment. Firstly, he was afraid that she would harm the child, and secondly, he was afraid that she would harm herself.
Master Bill said that Jian Han actually did not let go of her troubles these past few years. All of the worries inside her heart erupted together at this moment. He could only save people who had the will to live on. Jian Han did not have the will to live on, and even the G.o.ds couldn’t save her.
Jian Han did not like to bask in the suns.h.i.+ne. She could be said to hate it. Every time Zhou Dayuan drew the curtains open, she would wake up before she struggled anxiously in the bed. After that, for these two months, they spent half of winter in darkness. This bedroom did not get any ventilation or sunlight. It was so quiet that it could make anyone suffocate.
As the duo welcomed the two hardest months in their lives, the baby in Jian Han’s stomach turned six months old officially.
Jian Han was unable to keep her meals down. Zhou Dayuan would give her a vitamin solution every day. Every time he injected the needle, he would do it personally. He knew the fear, but this young fella was extra resilient. He was growing healthily when his mother was on the brink of death. This little fella was very healthy.
There was a night when Jian Han opened her eyes in a blur. Her head was in extreme pain, and her entire body felt uncomfortable. She stretched her small hand to touch the side of her bed. There was no one around.
She struggled as she sat up and kicked off the blankets to get out of bed. She did not put her slippers on, and stepped on the soft and firm carpet barefooted. She wanted to look for Zhou Dayuan.
As she took a few steps, she heard a soft sound come from inside the washroom, and she walked over to take a look.
The door of the washroom was open, and Zhou Dayuan was standing before the sink to wash clothes.
The man was dressed in a thin green sweater. He matched it with a pair of dark coloured trousers. He was always like that. His clean and simple pairing made him look fas.h.i.+onable and handsome.
There was a small pink bucket on the side of the sink. He took her undergarments in his hand as he washed them. The bubbles seeped out from the gaps of his hands. There was a dim amber light in the washroom, and it made his quiet figure look so lonely and long.
Jian Han looked at him and felt that her face was wet. She stretched her hand out to touch her face, and her face was covered in tears.
She had been crying for some time now.
At this moment, Zhou Dayuan looked over. The man froze completely when he saw her out of bed. He threw the clothes in his hands as he washed his hands simply. He lifted his long legs and strode over. “Why did you get out of bed. Aren’t you cold being barefooted? What are you going to do if you get a cold?”
He picked her up and started to bring her to the large bed.
Jian Han lay back down on the bed. He stretched his hand out to cover her up with the blanket. His eyebrows were tightly knitted. His gentle voice chided her a little as he said, “Just call out for me if you want to do anything. I was was.h.i.+ng the clothes just now. I will go downstairs later to cook for you. We will try to eat a little. You will…”
His voice came to a complete stop because a soft, warm finger came to his tightly knitted eyebrows. Her warm voice rang out in his ears. “Hubby, don’t frown.”
Zhou Dayuan froze entirely before his dark gaze fell onto her small face.
What did she call him?
Hubby?
Zhou Dayuan was unable to express the feeling that he felt inside his heart. Should he be happy? No, he was not happy at all. Her condition right now was going from bad to worse. How could she remember him now?
Her heath that took a good turn was probably similar to…a momentary recovery before death…
Jian Han slowly stretched out her two small hands. She touched his handsome face before she lifted her eyebrows up. Her eyes were full of pain as she said, “Hubby, why did you lose weight? You didn’t even shave your moustache.”
He still looked like what she remembered him to look like, but he’s really lost so much weight. All of his features were sunken, and his smooth jaw was covered with stubble, as if he had not shaved for a long time.
Zhou Dayuan stretched his hand to caress her small face. His fingers lovingly brushed against her supple skin. He came to her forehead, and he kissed her slowly. “Wifey…”
“Yeah.” She curled her lips up into a smile and acknowledged him. She put both arms around his neck as she hugged him tight.
Zhou Dayuan kissed her forehead all the way to her face. He had not kissed her for a long time now. He did not dare to do so. He was afraid that she would not like it. He controlled himself for a long time, and at this moment, he still could not control himself.
He searched for her soft and fragrant red lips as he kissed her gently.
Jian Han fluttered her thin fan-like lashes. She gently closed her eyes as she reacted to him in an inexperienced way.
At this moment, the sunset glow from the ceiling light spewed onto both of their bodies. They did not say anything at all while they hugged each other tight and kissed. Jian Han opened her mouth and allowed him to barge in gently, and they stuck to each other.
They did not know how long they kissed for. Zhou Dayuan let go of her. He buried his head in her tender neck, with one of his muscular arms curled around her shoulders as he pressed her in his embrace. The strength that he used was so great, it was as if he wanted to press her into his bones.
“Wifey, don’t leave me, okay?…” He unudged her tender skin with his nose. He looked just like a pitiful little beast who was acting cute by its master’s legs. “Wifey, I don’t know what I am supposed to say. Actually, I do not have the right to say anything… With regards to the matter regarding Dad and Mum, I am very sorry. I thought of compensating you. I can give one life up in exchange for two lives, but I treasure my life… I have a wife now. I have a son already. I struggled so much to have a family. I obviously can stretch my hands out to touch bliss. I really treasure my own life very much…
“Wifey, I also treasure your life and our son’s life. Our family of three are all connected by blood, we cannot do without a single member… I know that I am really very selfish. The matter regarding Dad and Mum, other than being sorry, I do not know what else I can do…”
