Chapter 79 - ’m Looking For My Husband (2/2)

......

Ning Mufan comforted her with the suggestion that her husband wasn’t in this hospital. He would take her to treat her wound and then go to his place to rest for a while. Otherwise, even if she found her husband, she would be in no position to take care of him if she was unwell herself.

Tang Qiu felt depressed, but there was nothing else she could do. Her wound needed treating, and she was frightened, not to mention nursing a cold and a growing fever. She couldn’t persist in a futile search that yielded no signs of her husband.

Ning Mufan had her lean on him. “Let’s go to my villa, Qiu. You’re not in a good state now. If anything happens to you, at least I’ll be around to help you.”

Tang Qiu didn’t have any identification on her, nor her wallet and phone. She didn’t have the means to stay in a hotel, so she could only nod in acquiescence. When they arrived at the Ning family mansion, Tang Qiu took a shower, changed her clothes, and ate lunch. Her head was dizzy, making her uncomfortable. She lay on the sofa for a short rest.

“Don’t sleep here, Qiu. I’ll help you to the bedroom.”

With effort, Tang Qiu sat up and tugged at his arm. “It’s a good thing I met you, Senior. Otherwise, I would be at my wit’s end. Last time when we met in the library–I… I was too impulsive. I’m sorry…” No matter the circumstances, she shouldn’t have hit him.

Ning Mufan chuckled. “It must be fate that we met. Let’s go. You need to rest. It’s all in the past–I was wrong, anyway, acting so rashly and scaring you.”

He covered her with a blanket and murmured softly, “Sleep well. I’ll be right here. Don’t be afraid.”

Tang Qiu was a little embarrassed. “Sorry to trouble you. Senior. Please, don’t let me keep you from your work. I sleep quite soundly.”

Ning Mufan wanted to stay by her side, but he couldn’t tell her that. He nodded. “I’ll leave when you’re asleep.”

Tang Qiu closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

Ning Mufan knelt by the bed and watched her sleep peacefully. He smiled and wished that time would stop so he could savor this moment. He reached out to caress her forehead…

And was interrupted by a loud bang on the door downstairs.
