Chapter 741 - Many Things Happened In The Past That You Didn’t Know Of (1/2)

Ou Luoxi slowly walked forward, looking at the two people snuggled together on the corridor bench. Xia Xiaofu’s mother had taken a severe blow, and it was as if she had instantaneously become older. Her eyebrows were knitted as she closed her eyes to rest.

Xiao Xuyan was curled up in her Grandma’s embrace. She was huddled in a small ball which was a normal posture of self-protection after experiencing a serious shock. Her eyes were also closed.

Ou Luoxi looked at her little face in a daze. It was carved out of the same mold as her mother’s. His daughter…

He slowly extended his hand to touch Little Xuyan’s cheek.

Xia Xuyan woke up instantly. She had not been asleep at all. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of hedgehog-like defense. Seeing him, she immediately opened her mouth and firmly bit his hand.

“Young Master.” His underling was shocked.

Ou Luoxi waved his hand in dismissal. He looked down at Little Xuyan, who was biting him. His hand didn’t hurt. It was not even comparable to the wariness he felt in his heart.

He quietly let her bite him.

Just then, Xia Xiaofu’s mother woke up. “Little Xuyan…”

Xia Xuyan quickly let go of Ou Luoxi’s hand and then hid herself in her grandmother’s embrace.

At that moment, the operating room door opened. The nurse pushed Xia Xiaofu out, and the doctor followed closely behind.

“Xiaofu!”

“Mummy!”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother and Xia Xuyan rushed to Xia Xiaofu at once. Xia Xiaofu was lying on the stretcher looking very pale. She was still in a coma.

Ou Luoxi swiftly walked over to the doctor and asked in a hoarse voice, “How is she?”

The doctor took off his mask and wiped at the sweat on his forehead. “The operation is considered successful. Next, it will depend on whether she can make it through the 72 hour observation period. If she can wake up within three days, then her body will slowly recover. If she can’t wake up in three days, then the patient may possibly become a vegetable.”

Vegetable?

Ou Luoxi froze in shock.

…

When the doctor left, Ou Luoxi walked slowly to the door of the VIP intensive care room. He could see through the small window on the door.

Xia Xiaofu was lying on the bed in a blue and white striped gown. Her right wrist was wrapped in a bandage, her left hand was receiving an intravenous drip, and she was still wearing an oxygen mask.

Xia Xiaofu’s mother sat beside the bed and was constantly wiping her tears. Little Xuyan also looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. Because they need to be quiet in the ward, neither of them made a sound, but both of them looked forlorn.

Ou Luoxi did not know what he could do. His gaze lingered on Xia Xiaofu’s face as he imagined that his fingers were caressing her delicate skin. At the moment, he wanted to go in and hug her firmly, then pull her into his embrace.

But he could not.

Did she want to see him? Would Little Xuyan want to see him?

Probably, in the future, neither of them would want to see him again.

Ou Luoxi stood outside the door for a long time. He did not dare to move, and did not want to move. At this moment, accompanying them quietly has become the thing that he wanted to do the most in this life.

…

Two days passed, but Xia Xiaofu was not showing signs of awakening. Little Xuyan was quietly by her Mummy’s side most of the time. Her usual shining eyes had become dull.

Xia Xiaofu’s mother had become more and more haggard. She would walk two steps then stop and put her hand on her forehead. Ou Luoxi had been standing outside, looking in at the people inside for the longest time. He never left.

On the morning of the third day, Xia Xiaofu’s mother came out of the ward and said to Little Xuyan, “Little Xuyan, Grandma will go home to get some clean clothes. You haven’t bathed in two days. Stay here with Mummy and don’t run around.”
