Chapter 459 - took me so long (1/2)
Like the sky above did not agree with the heaven's decision in taking Yue Ling and Lu Tian's child, the gray clouds gathered together more than it already was, and rain poured down over Imperial.
Anger and sadness rumble as thunder cried and the sky weep in pain for the unfairness that befall them.
Yue Ling laid on the hospital bed, but this time it was not only her but Lu Tian as well.
After the man poured his heart out, she made room to let him lay down with her.
His arm wrapped around her waist as his head rested on her chest and use her arm as a pillow.
The moment Yue Ling woke up, she could see that he had not slept. Unlike his usual strong appearance, he looked so fragile like he could break at any moment.
Grandfather Ji told her that she had been in a deep sleep for seven days and throughout those days, Lu Tian never left her side but continue to whisper her name to her in hopes that his voice will guide her back to him.
She rest her head on the pillow and stares up at the white ceiling.
”Tian…”
She whispers his name as he answers her with a faint 'mm'.
”I'm sorry it took me so long…”
The tips of her fingers gently trace the side of his arm and she turns her head to look out the window. Unlike the clear blue sky in her dream, outside was gray and gloomy.
”I was in a far away place… A place I did not know, nor have I been to…”
Watching the rain trickle onto the window and slide down, a faint smile curl on her lip.
”In that place, I met our child… our child was a healthy boy and he looked just like you…”
She sighs a faint chuckle as she remembers the little boy in her dream. He looked exactly like the photo she saw at the Lu family house of Lu Tian when he was younger.
However, the corners of her lip trembles a smile.
”He had my eyes… the same exact color as mine.”
Her fingers continue to gently trace the side of his arm as her words continue.
”He wanted me to tell you that he is not mad at you.”
She looks down at him and she faintly smiles. The sound of his quiet breathing enters her ears as he was deep asleep.
Moving her hand, she place her palm on the side of his head and leans her head against the top of his head.
Closing her eyes, she nestles against him more.
”Our son guided me back to you.”
Lu Tian's eyes slowly open as he woke up from his sleep. Ever since his wife was admitted to the hospital, he couldn't sleep at all. Well, more like he didn't have it in him to sleep.
He was afraid.
Even when he blinks his eyes, he can still see the crash so vividly.
They have already lost their child, he cannot bare to lose her too.
However, he didn't know why, but as Yue Ling continued to pat his head, the tiredness inside overtook.
Subconsciously wanting to hold in her in his arms more, his eyes widen when all he could touch was the coldness of the bed.
He abruptly sat up and looks around the room in panic. His wife isn't here!
His heart clenched tightly with intense fear and he got up from the bed.
