Chapter 422 - Another man who was broken by love (1/2)

On the way home, while they were in the car, DX kept playing with Little Monkey who was strapped into the baby car seat next to him. Previously, because he was constantly thinking about Kai Xin, he had never been able to play with Little Monkey for long.

Kai Xin smiled as she watched DX making faces at Little Monkey. She then took a good long look at him. DX's appearance had changed since the last time she saw him and it had startled her slightly. To her, the time had barely passed… But to him… The effects of her coma on him for the last three months were evident. His handsome, blemished free face now had a couple of crow's feet at the corner of his eyes, as well as deeper frown lines on his forehead. His hair had lost the beautiful shine that it had, and he was sporting some white hair as well.

Without knowing it, she leaned toward him and kissed him on the cheek. Surprised by her sudden initiative, DX smiled and looked at her as he asked, "What's that for?"

Kai Xin shrugged, "Nothing… Just that… I love you…"

He smiled and leaned to kiss her back. The only difference was that when he kissed her, it was on the lips. Placing a hand on her sunken cheek, he gently rubbed her cheek as he said, "I love you too...You've suffered much… I've to fatten you up as soon as possible…"

She smiled, "Look at yourself. I've to fatten you up as well…"

As she held his hand, she asked sadly, "Why didn't you take good care of yourself?"

DX shrugged, "I did… I just got too busy taking care of a lazy pig who won't wake up…"

Before she could retort, he kissed her on the lips again. He lingered there for a few seconds before murmuring, "I miss you so much… Don't ever scare me like that again…"

"Mhmm…"

At this moment, Little Monkey suddenly burst out in tears and DX immediately turned to her to comfort her.

Kai Xin watched as DX held the little bunny up for Little Monkey to play with and she joked, "Looks like I have a strong contender for your affection now…"

DX smiled and he took her hand. Kissing the back of her hand, he said, "You're always the number 1 in my heart…"

Kai Xin sighed contently as she watched DX continued to play with Little Monkey.

After Little Monkey fell asleep, DX turned to Kai Xin. He had kept something from her and he did not know whether he should let her know.

In the end, he decided she had the right to know. With an awkward expression, he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Your dad came for a visit…"

Kai Xin's eyes widened slightly but she did not let her emotions show. She did not expect him to come and visit. She thought that at most, he would be sending Kai An on his behalf.

Too afraid to put hope on it, she asked nonchalantly, "Did he say anything?"

"He wanted to talk to you privately…" said DX. He took out his phone and plugged in the earphones before handing it to Kai Xin.

Right after Mr. Zhen received news from his son about Kai Xin's condition, he went to the hospital immediately. When DX saw him, he had wanted to stop the older man from going in. In fact, when Mr. Zhen insisted to go in, DX had nearly punched the man. He did not want Kai Xin to be disturbed by the man who had abandoned her.

However, Kai An had pleaded for his father. Even An Qi Yan pleaded for her ex-husband as well… In the end, DX relented, but not before he planted a recording device in the room.

If Mr. Zhen dared to say anything inappropriate, even if he was Kai Xin's father, DX vowed that he would make his life miserable.

As Kai Xin looked at the phone and earphones with a confused expression, DX explained, "I was worried that he might say something mean to you when I'm not there, so I recorded the conversation… I think… I think you'd like to know what he had to say…"

Kai Xin stared at the items on her hands. With hands that trembled slightly, she placed the earphones into her ears.

....

On that day when Mr. Zhen came for a visit, there was an uproar outside Kai Xin's ward as DX shouted at him to leave immediately. DX's action had shocked everyone as they had never seen him in such a state before.

However, everyone understood where he was coming from. His beloved wife nearly died and there was a possibility that she might not wake up for a long time. Even his newborn daughter was still in the danger zone. With everything that he had to deal with, no one blamed him.

After Kai An and An Qi Yan pleaded for Mr. Zhen, DX relented. To give them some privacy, Jack, who was awake, asked his nurse to push him out of the room.

As Mr. Zhen stood inside the room with Kai Xin, he was scared to see his strong daughter lying on the bed, motionless. To him, Kai Xin had always been a strong child and to see her in such a state scared him.

He slowly made his way to Kai Xin. As he sat down on the chair that was right next to her bed, tears welled up in his eyes.
