"I'm sure that she'll ask for you to let her participate once she wakes up if she really do want to stand by your side in this part of the world."
Long Ying squinted his eyes but he didn't answer. He knew that it was true that it was hard for those who lived in underworld to know someone who lived normally. Their enemies would surely use that person as their weakness.
And in this modern world where it was rare for most people to get involved in bloody battles, just the sight was enough to turn ordinary people crazy.
"I don't want to drag her to my world."
She deserved to stay under the light.
What Long Ying wanted was to see Yu Yan to stand brightly under the light and proved her real capabilities. But marrying her put the woman in difficult situation because the connection with him instead brought danger to her. Having to live a cruel life would be too much for a young girl like her..
He didn't want to restrain her.
If his existences only become a hindrance to her, he would rather protect her from the darkness once more and not stay by her side.
"Ask her what she want first. Anyway, I'm just here to say hello as my supervisor is watching me tightly. If you ever need any help, you can call me and I'll do my best to help you." Han Kuai narrowed his eyes. "But if you're waging war against one of those….ugh, you know who, don't drag me into the battle as I don't want to die yet."
"Got it." Long Ying reached to his pocket, itching to grab a cigarette. But he knew that Yu Yan didn't like it and the doctors had told him that he was not allowed to smoke near a patient. Taking a deep breath, Long Ying entered the hospital room once more. He paused in his movement for a moment and glanced to the other room.
The room beside this was the place where An Lin stayed. The operation was successful but An Lin was also still in deep sleep and hadn't regained his consciousness. Right now, San Xia and An Luo were waiting in his room while Lan Huo was guarding the two rooms outside.
"It's been a day." San Xia looked at An Lin on the bed. Her usual playful tone had gone and replaced it was a solemn one. "When will he wake up?"
"The doctor said that he'll most likely wake up this afternoon." An Luo patted his wife. He was unable to sleep either last night because his younger brother and his Boss's wife were both in coma. What if they couldn't wake up? That was something he most worried about.
Even if the doctor had reassured them, he still felt ill at ease.
San Xia pursed her lips, feeling annoyed. She looked at An Lin on the bed. Even though she always quarreled with the other party, she never wanted to see An Lin in critical condition ever. The banter she had with An Lin were all only on small things and they would never truly want each other's demise.
Looking at the man on the bed, San Xia really wished that An Lin could wake up. Even if he made fun of her right afterwards, she promised that she would not beat him up.
"Wake up. I promise that I'll not beat you up for the entire month starting from now as long as you wake up." San Xia gritted her teeth. "You annoying little brother, why do you have to make us so worried huh?"
An Luo sighed and pulled his wife to the seat. He was also tired but he wanted to wait until his brother was awake and his situation was confirmed. It was only after he was sure that he would be willing to rest.
Slowly, he walked to the other room and opened the door. Long Ying was standing there, looking as tired as him.
"Boss, how's Madam?"
"She's still sleeping."
"I'm sure she'll be fine, Boss. Please eat something first." An Luo forced a smile on his mouth.
He might dislike it when Long Ying and Yu Yan were spreading their loves and forced them to eat dog food. However, he was also happy when he saw Long Ying happy with his wife. Seeing Long Ying right this was… very heartbreaking.
Long Ying was silent.
"Boss, Madam will not like it if she wakes up and see you not taking care of your health." An Luo added, using Yu Yan to make Long Ying wanted to move.
"Bring the food."
"Yes, Boss!"
Long Ying sat down on the sofa, looking at Yu Yan. Even while he was eating, he would check on Yu Yan every few seconds. He hoped that she would wake up and tell him how stupid he was to be so worried of her.
Time ticked.
Long Ying didn't know how much time had passed when he heard shouts from the other room. He slowly walked to the door that connected the two rooms and saw An Lin screamed.
"Sister in law, I'm awake! I'm awake! Put away those knives! How in the world do you even bring knives to the hospital?" An Lin seethed. He couldn't believe that the first thing his sister in law said to him when he woke up was a threat!
San Xia roared back, "Damn you! Do you know how worried I was when you sleep for so long? I'm already thinking that you will not wake up at all!"
"Bullsh*t! I'm perfectly healthy! Do you really think that I'll die so easily?" An Lin countered.
An Luo grabbed his wife's hand and slowly removed the knife from her finger. He knew that she always carried several knives with her, but this was truly not the correct time for her to use it. His movement was gentle and very patience.
He glanced at his younger brother. "Since you're awake, I'll go to rest now."
An Lin was speechless.
"Why the hell do you even wait for me if you just want to rest?" An Lin asked in annoyance.
"You're going to reopen your wound," Long Ying said calmly. "When we return back, you'll stay to guard the mansion for the time being,"
An Lin was speechless once more.
The task to guard the mansion was one that was usually given to the members who didn't really have good result in fights. However, if it was the mansion where Long Ying was staying, they would surely put the best of the result since Long Ying didn't want to let anyone harmed his wife.
"Which mansion, Boss?"
"Wherever I stay. Call the doctor, San Xia. Tell them that An Lin had woken up and need their attention."
"Yes."
San Xia pulled the button and called the nurse with it. Not long afterwards, the nurse and doctor came in. They gave check up on An Lin and determined that he was fine. He only needed rest and that the operation was proved to be successful.
"Wait, can I practice martial arts again after I recover?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry about your movement being hindered. However, you need a period of a week before you can start to exercise lightly again. Before that, it's advised that you didn't have any strenuous activity yet."
"A week?" An Lin was surprised. He thought that he would have to rest for a longer period of time than this.
The doctor nodded. "The one who did your operation is a very capable doctor whom Mr. Long called over. Thanks to his operation, you can recover faster and the medicine he prescribes to you is also a very good one."
As he was saying that, the doctor's tone even had a tinge of envy. It seemed that whatever medicines that the surgeon assigned to An Lin, it was all very top notch and would help him to recover faster.
"That's great!"
San Xia glared at An Lin. "If you dare to more around before your wounds heal, I'll personally deal with you."
"I won't! I won't!" An Lin lamented that his family members were really ruthless with him. He had just woken up but they kept on threatening him. Couldn't they say nice words occasionally?
What he didn't know was that San Xia silently wiped her tears when An Lin didn't look. She was so glad that some dust entered her eyes and forced her to shed some tears. If An Lin were to caught her, she would never ever admit that she was crying because of him!
There was only too much dust around here!
San Xia turned around. "Since you're now fine, I'm going to watch over Madam. You can rest here alone and call Lan Huo if you need anything."
An Lin was utterly speechless once more. He already knew that his brother was a cold person who would even beat him black and blue but why did his sister in law had to be this way too?
