754 Never! (1/2)

Since he didn't even look as he continued to scribble something on the notebook, tore the page, and asked the nurse to pass it to Xiu. The nurse did exactly as she was told and passed the paper to Xiu. Xiu took it with her right hand and looked at what he had written.

It read, 'Are you okay? Is it hurting?'

Xiu shook her in reply, ”Didn't I say it just now? It doesn't hurt anywhere. I'm feeling perfectly fine.”

He wrote again, and the paper was passed again.

- 'Liar.'

That was all written on the paper.

Xiu sighed out, ”Okay, okay. I'm not perfectly fine. But it's really not hurting. I promise.” She frowned and hurriedly asked, ”Why aren't you talking? I haven't heard your voice in years!”

Darren chuckled silently and wrote something.

- 'Years? It's been a little over a day, Sweets.'

Xiu read it and scowled, ”Regan, haven't you heard? One day feels like three seasons have passed.” She looked really sad as she continued, ”I truly feel like I slept for years. The only proof that I haven't slept for that long is that our baby is bean-sized.”

Darren closed his eyes to give them the rest for a minute.

”You didn't tell me, why aren't you talking? Did something happen?”

Darren took a deep breath and answered with a string of words.

- 'I've been calling you for so long but you didn't even turn back to look at me. After that much screaming, I definitely would lose my voice, no?'

Xiu's brows jumped up, ”Huh? When did you call for me? There is no way my Regan calls me and I don't turn around. Tell me when and where it happened?”

- 'In my dream.'

Xiu's eyes narrowed as she said, ”How dare my dream self not turn around at your call? Is she looking for a beating?”

Darren smiled widely at her reaction. He realized what he had been missing. It was her random remarks. And the look in her eyes that seemed to scream how much she loved him and what he meant to her. To be honest, the love in her eyes was beyond overwhelming but he would never want it any other way.

”It's okay to not talk for a while. In any way, I'm the only one who talks in this relationship. So, even if you stay quiet for some time, it'll work.”

Darren couldn't even argue with that statement. First, he would never argue with her. Second, she was indeed the one who mostly talked in this relationship.

- 'Yes, that's true. Only my Sweets can talk in this relationship. I'll just listen obediently.'
