279 The heart wants what it wants (1/2)

''I…''

''I…''

The both of them said at the same time. Jin Yue glanced at her for a second. ''You should go first. ''

Xin Yong did not argue with him, she just continued. ''I'll go see the doctor to know when if are able to go in now. '' she said and walked off, not waiting for his reaction.

Jin Yue could not explain how he felt. That was the first statement she had made to him that wasn't a scream. Although he couldn't say that she had forgiven him, it was a great improvement. A smile widened his lips.

After a moment, Xin Yong returned with a nurse and a doctor, who walked into the ward and checked on Liling. After a moment, they came out.

''You are free to go in now, but the patient needs some quiet until she wakes. When you are ready, you can come in for the prescription. ''

The doctor smiled and walked away, the nurse trailing behind. When they left, Xin Yong pushed open the ward and entered followed by Jin Yue.

As she approached Liling, she started having flashbacks of the child she lost. It was painful, and knowing that you are the one who killed your baby, would be brain chattering. She prayed Liling would be strong enough to take it.

''I'm sorry. ''

Just at that moment, as though they were thinking the same thing, Jin Yue apologized. One thing he was sure of was the fact that Xin Yong would not scream at him there because Liling needed some quiet.

Xin Yong was pulled back from her thoughts by Jin Yue's statement and she lifted her gaze to look at him briefly.

His head was bent low and he looked sad and distressed. For a brief moment, she felt like pulling him close and hugging him tight, but she dismissed that thought as soon as it came. Why was she feeling sorry for him?!

''Jin Yue, this is not the right time for that. ''

She replied curtly, not looking at him again. Jin Yue nodded but didn't reply.

They sat down, looking after Liling for a while, when it was past twelve, Jin Yue left the ward. When he stood up, he did not say a word to her, he just left.

As soon as he walked out the door, Xin Yong turned to glance at the closed door. Just now he was sitting beside her, she hadn't realized that she missed him so much until he left. It was crazy but then she couldn't control her heart__ the heart always wants what it wants.

She had thought he left because he was busy but after a moment, he returned. When Xin Yong heard the door pull open, she didn't glance back, she knew his footsteps enough to know it was him.

''This is for you. ''

Jin Yue stood by her side for the longest time before stretching out his hand. His voice was a bit shaky and the way he fondled with the take away bag, showed that he was nervous.

He went out to get something to eat and he had even gotten for her. She felt her heart softening and she immediately tried to harden it back but at that moment it had a mind of its own.

When Jin Yue saw her staring at the bag, he cleared his throat;

''I saw that you've not eaten anything since morning and I felt you might be hungry…''
