Chapter 188 I Want You to Stay by My Side

The light in the first-aid room is off and they go to the door quickly.

A doctor comes out and says to Han Siqi: “Mr. Han, we’ve tried our best.”

Pale-lipped Han Siqi grips the doctor with a rush and then held by Ji Muxian.

“Siqi, calm down.”

Hearing that, Sun Qiubo cries more loudly, while Tian Xin stands there numbly, shaking her head and talking to herself: “Impossible, impossible.”

The doctor gripped by Han Siqi feels panicky, shouting: “Mr. Han, what do you want to do?”

Hearing the noise outside, other doctors run out of the first-aid room. When seeing the situation, they realize what’s going on at once. An elder and tall doctor apologizes and explains: “Mr. Han, you misunderstood. Miss Fu is fine. She is all right!”

Another shorter doctor glares at and scolds the doctor who came out before them: “I have told you many times not to say ‘We’ve tried our best’ to the patients’ families. It is easy to be misunderstood. You will not remember it unless you are beaten by them!”

Han Siqi loosens his grip and turns around, asking: “Zhengzheng is all right?”

“Yes, yes! Miss Fu is hurt originally. Besides, she is too exhausted and worried, so she is very weak. But she is not in danger. So long as she is nursed well, she will recover soon. I’m really sorry. Wu is clumsy of speech. Please forgive him, everyone.”

The taller doctor keeps apologizing and then criticizes Wu: “Apologize to Mr. Han now.”

All of them sigh with relief.

Han Siqi waves his hand impatiently, which means forgiveness: “Where is Zhengzheng now?”

The taller doctor answers quickly: “She has been sent to the VIP ward, but the patient needs rest now…”

Before he finishes, Han Siqi has stepped away.

Sun Qiubo wipes her tears and glares at Doctor Wu, complaining: “Even I want to beat you, let alone Han Siqi! You almost gave me a heart attack just now!”

Doctor Wu scratches his head, smiles embarrassedly with shrunk neck and dares not argue.

Tian Xian draws Sun Qiubo, saying: “Don’t talk nonsense here. Let’s go to see Zhengzheng.”

“Hum!” Sun Qiubo doesn’t forget to glare at Doctor Wu before leaving.

Han Siqi comes to the VIP ward in a hurry. The doctor just went out, and Fu Zhengzheng is lying on the bed motionlessly in transfusion through her hand.

Watching Fu Zhengzheng whose face is as pale as white paper, Han Siqi’s heart is broken. He sits on the bedside slowly, fondles a wisp of tousled hair on her forehead, tucks in the corners of her quilt, and then puts her hand in his palms.

Three others enter after him. They walk to the bedside quietly and looks worriedly at Fu Zhengzheng who hasn’t come to herself.

Sun Qiubo looks around and asks Tian Xin in a low voice with worry: “Tian, will Zhengzheng sleep like this forever?”

Tian Xin pinches her on the arm and scolds her: “Shut up! If you don’t talk, I won’t think you are dumb.”

Sun Qiubo moves aside with an injured expression and grumbles: “I’m just worrying about Zhengzheng.”

Ji Muxian frowns and says to Tian Xin: “Let’s go to see Xingxing. Don’t disturb them here.”

Tian Xin nods and draws Sun Qiubo away. They step out of the ward and close the door quietly.

The ward becomes quiet immediately. Han Siqi doesn’t move and just watches Fu Zhengzheng tenderly.

The warm sunshine streams in front of the bed and illuminates the ward.

“Siqi…”

Faintly hearing Fu Zhengzheng’s call, Han Siqi sits up suddenly and finds himself sleeping on the head of the bed.

“Siqi…”

When he looks up, Fu Zhengzheng is smiling to her.

Han Siqi holds her hand in surprise: “Zhengzheng, you revive?”

Then he notices her infusion has run out and the nurse removed the syringe needle when he was sleeping.

Fu Zhengzheng asks in a weak voice: “Siqi, how is Xingxing?”

“He is OK and has revived. Dad, mom and Tian are accompanying him. Don’t worry. Zhengzheng, are you hungry?”

Fu Zhengzheng looks weak, so he doesn’t tell her that the moment Fu Xing revived, he kept crying for his mother.

Fu Zhengzheng seems to sigh with a relief, shaking her head slightly and smiling. She tried to move aside, but when she just moves a little, she can’t help gasping.

Han Siqi supports her quickly and scolds her softly: “Don’t move! Don’t move! What do you want to do? Let me help you.”

“Siqi, lie here for a while.”

“I’m not tired. You lie here for a good rest.” Han Siqi points to the nearby bed and says: “I’ll take a rest there if I’m tired.”

“I want you to stay by my side.”

Han Siqi smiles at her words. He half kneels on the bed and lifts Fu Zhengzheng to move carefully. A little space is spared. Then he lies down sideways near her.

Fu Zhengzheng also wants to lie sideways and face to face with Han Siqi, but she hurts when moving, so she has to give up.

“Don’t move.” Han Siqi holds Fu Zhengzheng’s hand.

Thinking of Li Xiaomeng, she asks anxiously: “Have Li Xiaomeng’s whereabouts been found?”

“Not yet, but the police have found out the direction and she should be brought to justice soon.”

Fu Zhengzheng sighs for Li Xiaomeng: “She was so cruel that she even harmed a kid.”

“But we’re all fine now.” Han Siqi pinches her finger lightly.

“So long as Li Xiaomeng and her partners are not arrested, we can’t relax vigilance.”

“Darling, don’t think about it now. it’s more important to nurse your body well.”

“OK.”

Fu Zhengzheng turns toward Han Siqi with smile.

“Siqi, we were saved from death. A good fortune will certainly follow the escape. I hope we’ll always be safe in the future.”

Han Siqi puts her hand close to his face and says tenderly: “Of course. OK, don’t think so much. The doctor said you need rest.”

Fu Zhengzheng points to Han Siqi’s face and says with heartache: “Look at you. Your beard pricks my hand.”

Han Siqi says disapprovingly: “I already have a wife and a son, so it doesn’t matter to be messy. Well, don’t talk. Close eyes to have a rest.”

Fu Zhengzheng responds quietly. Then she closes eyes and doesn’t talk anymore.

She doesn’t know whether Yang Tao has found the coffer by following her.

Fu Zhengzheng knows her phone is exclusively used by the police in B City. Even if it’s powered off, it can be located.

Last night, they left Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort to Fengyu Pavilion under Li Xiaomeng’s instruction. Yang Tao would certainly trace them. Before powering off, she left message in the phone, telling Yang Tao to go to the deserted factory in the east of town to save them. Yang Tao didn’t disappoint her.

She really wants to sit up and call Yang Tao to make an inquiry, but…

Han Siqi is asleep.

Fu Zhengzheng slants her head slightly and looks at the sleeping Han Siqi affectionately.

“Rat-a-tat”, someone is knocking at the door quietly.

Han Siqi shivers all over and sits up with a rush.

The one that enters is Yang Tao.

“Yang Tao!”

Yang Tao comes over quickly and stops Fu Zhengzheng: “Don’t move. Lie down.”

Fu Zhengzheng smiles: “I’m not so fragile.”

Han Siqi frowns, puts a soft pillow behind Fu Zhengzheng, pushes away Yang Tao’s hand without showing his disapproval and helps Fu Zhengzheng to sit more comfortably.

Yang Tao steps back a little embarrassedly.

He felt Han Siqi’s strong jealousy when lifting Fu Zhengzheng into the ambulance in the deserted factory.

Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t notice it and asks anxiously: “What about Li Xiaomeng?”

“She died.”

Fu Zhengzheng is shocked: “Died?! How?”

Han Siqi feels shocked too and looks at Yang Tao with inquiring eyes.

“One hour ago, at half past nine, Li Xiaomeng’s corpse was found in a reservoir five kilometers away from the south of town. According to forensic examination, she died from being stabbed in the belly with a sharp knife and bleeding excessively.”

“Who killed her?”

“Not clear yet. The reservoir is just the place where her corpse is dumped, and the crime scene is not known yet.”

Fu Zhengzheng asks immediately: “What about the necklace?”

Yang Tao shakes his head: “Disappeared.”

“Disappeared? What about the coffer…”

Yang Tao sighs: “It’s also unknown whether the coffer has fallen into the wrong hands. Captain Ji has gone to search Li Xiaomeng’s house to look for possible clues.”

Fu Zhengzheng is very guilty: “I’m sorry. It’s all…”

“Stupid…” Finding Han Siqi is staring at him, Yang Tao swallows the word “girl” and says instead: “It’s none of your business. What’s most important is you and Xingxing are both safe.”

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue comes in with two insulation pails.

When she sees Fu Zhengzheng sitting, she runs over and asks: “Sister Zhengzheng, do you feel better?”

Fu Zhengzheng smiles: “Much better.”

“Great. My mom stewed gensing soup for you. Both you and Mr. Han can enjoy it.” Lin Xiaoyue lays out two bowls and spoons the soup carefully. “Sister Zhengzheng, don’t worry. I have asked the doctor. You can drink it.”

Yang Tao rises and takes his leave: “Zhengzheng, nurse your body well. I’ll see you again when I’m free.”

Fu Zhengzheng responds: “Please tell me in time if you get any news.”

“OK.” Yang Tao nods to Han Siqi and turns around to walk out.

“Brother Yang, let me see you off.” Lin Xiaoyue says worriedly while spooning the soup quickly.

Brother Yang?

Fu Zhengzheng looks at Lin Xiaoyue first and Yang Tao then in a puzzle.

Yang Tao feels a little embarrassed and smiles. He waits for Lin Xiaoyue to finish spooning and then steps out. Lin Xiaoyue follows him immediately.

Looking the empty ward door, Fu Zhengzheng asks confusedly: “Siqi, when did Xiaoyue begin to be so close to Yang Tao?”

Han Siqi is a little interested: “Isn’t it better that Yang Tao has a girl friend? Xiaoyue is nice.”

How can Fu Zhengzheng not know what he is thinking? She curls her lips towards him but feels happy at the same time.

The ward door is opened again, and Sun Qiubo enters in a flurry.
