Dr. Lin, after checking Shu Ning's case, told him that Shu Ning had undergone a kidney transplant about half a year ago. The cost of this operation was very high, and adding to the later stages of care, it was impossible to do without five hundred thousand dollars. At that time, Shu Shu was just a student who had just graduated from university. Where did she get 500,000 yuan from?! At that time, Shu Shu even wanted to haggle over a thermos with him.
Her only option was to get Liu Ziye to help her, and that was when her grandmother gave him the marriage order.
She was not a moneygrubber. She had proudly thrown the extra money in his face, she had fought with him over the extra pay, she had run all over the mall to buy a high-cost recorder just to save up to a hundred dollars. He knew very well what sort of person she was.
He might be angry during the chaos, but after calming down and thinking about it during the traffic jam, he was pretty close to it.
Ling Qiao held her hand, her cold little hand still trembling slightly. "If you want to say something, say it. If you want to say it, I'll listen."
Shu Shu looked at him in disbelief. How could he … Are you determined to divorce me and not want to hurt me?! Ling Qiao, ah, Ling Qiao, if you're like this, I won't even be able to hate you anymore. Let me hate you, even if I hate you. In that case, I won't feel so bad if I leave you.
Ling Qiao patted her shoulder as if he was coaxing a child, "If you don't want to say it, then don't. Why don't you leave the porridge for now and wait for the hot bath before eating it?"
Ling Qiao took the paper cup from her hands, but she did not let go. He asked, "This porridge, is it for Tang Siqing?"
"..." "Yes, I went to see her. She said she wanted to eat."
Shu Shu pushed forcefully, causing the porridge to spill out and stand on Ling Qiao's shirt. His chest was wet and sticky.
Ling Qiao did not blame her. He silently placed the paper cup to the side, then silently turned around and walked towards the washroom.
The sound of water inside abruptly stopped. When Ling Qiao came out again, he took off his dirty shirt and warm underwear, only putting on a bathrobe.
"Hurry up and wash. The water is ready."
Shu Shu closed her eyes and turned her head to look in the other direction. Such a gentle and considerate Ling Qiao really made her anxious. She was afraid that after being treated with such gentleness, she would have to face a divorce agreement.
"Shu Shu, what are you thinking about? If you want to ask, ask. If you want to ask, ask. It's not what you think. "
"Then what?" She proudly raised her head and looked at him. Ling Qiao, Ling Qiao, say it, don't be afraid of me being sad, don't tell me you want me to say it?!
"That's right, I admit that I was indeed in a mess during the first few days after she came back, and even more so, I wouldn't deny that I once loved her. However, that was all in the past. The person I love now is you."
Shu Shu bitterly smiled, perhaps, too many sad feelings, listening to everything is sad, now his sweet words, seems to have not made her as happy as before.
"Hehe, forget it. This is just a scam. If your Ling Family wishes to sue, you can sue me for cheating the marriage. After that, this marriage will not count."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that we were going to sue you for cheating on the marriage? Who said that our marriage didn't count? Could it be that you've been lying to me for the past six months?"
Shu Shu could not answer, how could it be fake? She slowly fell in love with him, carefully protecting this relationship. She was prepared to confess everything to him.
Ling Qiao smiled faintly and sat beside her. He reached out his hand to stroke her back and pulled her into his embrace. There were many things that did not need to be said clearly, and he understood them all.
She leaned over and kissed her, kissed the space between her eyebrows, kissed the tip of her nose, kissed her tears. The bitter taste of salt seeped into the taste buds, and he kissed her lips again, willing to share all the salt with her.
Shu put her hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but he was too strong for her to resist.
Ling Qiao pulled her hand away, allowing her to hug his waist. Then, his hands returned to the back of her head. He held her face, but no matter what, he could not kiss his enough.
Shushu slowly fell. If they were destined to be separated, he would let her love him enough tonight. She opened her lips to greet him.
Touching her cheek, touching her neck, Ling Qiao was sure that she had a fever.
"Wife, you're so hot. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Shu Shu shook her head, but she felt tired. She was so tired that she couldn't feel any discomfort anymore.
Ling Qiao unwillingly let go of her, "Don't take a bath, you should get a good night's sleep first. You must be tired. If the sun is up and your fever still does not subside, you should go to the hospital."
He said it in such a domineering way that he began to undress her and then put her to bed with him. He wasn't afraid of being infected. He held her tightly, afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
Shu Shu didn't have the strength to argue with him. It didn't matter if what Tang Guqing said was true or not, or what Ling Qiao was thinking, she really didn't have the time to care about it. They could do whatever they wanted.
Although he was lying down, Ling Qiao had not slept for the entire night. Too many things were stuck in his chest, making him unable to fall asleep. His wife who was in his arms was having a fever and was getting hotter and hotter.
The sky brightened slightly. He stood up and looked out the window. The entire world was white, peaceful and harmonious.
"Wife, Wife, wake up …" He had to take her to the hospital.
ShuShu opened her eyes in a daze. She fell asleep without saying a word, her eyelashes still wet.
He couldn't drag it out any longer. Ling Qiao hurriedly got out of bed, helped her put on his clothes, and even wrapped her coat around her. After the snow, the weather would often become even colder.
He died of an emergency, thirty-nine degrees eight, and burned unconscious.
Ling Qiao truly regretted not having brought her here earlier, thinking that she would be fine after a short rest. Thinking about how cold it had been last night, she had been standing or squatting in the corridor the entire time and had already suffered from the cold.
"Doctor, why aren't there any results from the antipyretic drugs? If we keep burning like this, we'll get into trouble, so we can think of another way to look at them."
The doctor touched Shu Shu's forehead, opening her eyelids to check, "President Ling, the antipyretic drug is not a miracle medicine, and it will take some time for it to work. How about this, let's try covering her with an ice bag, then take a look in half an hour."
"Alright."
Shuning was being watched by Dr. Lin. As soon as Shuning woke up, or as soon as something happened, Dr. Lin would notify him. He also hoped that Shuning would be alright, or at least that his son-in-law would call him mother, and he would swear to her that he would take good care of her daughter for the rest of his life!
The snow outside was very thick. Last night, it snowed for the night, and the morning was a bit lighter, but there was still no sunlight. The sky was still gloomy, as if the snow had not ended.
"Mommy, Mommy …"
Ling Qiao turned around and saw Shu Shu on the sickbed having nightmares again. He was calling out to his mother, but could not wake up.
It was cold to take off the ice bag and touch her forehead, but after a while it got hot again and he had to take the thermometer and stick it under her armpits. He had to measure it to see if it was going to come back.
He had never been so worried about anyone. He had not slept for two days and two nights. Even though he was usually in high spirits, he could not hold on much longer. As soon as his butt touched the chair, he felt sleepy.
As he dozed, head down and body forward, he woke up.
He took out the thermometer, which was 38 degrees Celsius. It was still burning, but fortunately the temperature had dropped a little.
Ling Qiao bent over her, gently touching her face, touching her chapped lips. "Wife, quickly wake up."
"Water... "Water, I'm so thirsty …" As if hearing his call, Shu Shu's eyelashes flickered.
Ling Qiao hurriedly poured a cup of water, helped her up and leaned against him as he held the cup and slowly drank from it.
After drinking the water, Shu Shu felt her body lighten, her eyelids lighten, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?"
Feeling that it was Ling Qiao's voice, she looked up and saw a familiar face smiling at her. Who else could it be but Ling Qiao? Right, she remembered that he had slept in his warm embrace last night.
"Wife, are you awake? Say something to me. " Ling Qiao carefully placed her down, then laid down on the ground beside the bed.
"What do you want me to say?"
As if a giant boulder had fallen from his heart, Ling Qiao smiled. "It's good that you're awake. Did you know that you had a fever last night?"
"No wonder I feel so hot …" He had a stuffy nose, a nasal voice, and a sore throat. "I still want to drink water."
"Alright."
Ling Qiao simply picked her up and sat her down. This way, it was convenient to drink water.
"What time is it?"
"Nine."
"It's 9: 30 in the ICU. I need to see my mother."
Ling Qiao stroked her messy hair and said, "If you want to go to the ICU to see your mother, why didn't you tell me? "Tell me, you can enter at any time."
"Then why didn't you let me in last night? I'm waiting at the door. I'd like to go in. "
Ling Qiao took a deep breath. This woman really did not care about anything else, he was concerned about her mother, "Last night seeing your pale face, I wanted you to rest. Moreover, your mother just finished her first aid. I'll let Dr. Lin watch and call me as soon as I can. If there's no call, it means your mother is fine. Don't worry. "
Shu Shu lowered her head, closing her eyes, tears flowing down her cheeks. "How could I not be worried? The doctor said that my mom will be fine for a few days. Even if I don't sleep or eat, I have to stay by her side. I don't have enough time to be filial. She's leaving. She was angered by me … Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! "
Ling Qiao patted her back, "Alright, alright, alright. It's up to you to keep watch, but you're still having a fever right now. At the very least, you should at least hang this bottle up, okay?"
Shu Shu looked up and saw that there was still more than half a bottle left. It would only take more than an hour. She lightly nodded her head and replied, "Alright." Her heart was filled with pain and sadness. Perhaps the reason why Ling Qiao treated her like this was because he pitied her. After half a year of living with his wife, in exchange for a little bit of pity, he would no longer care about her lies.
Shu Shu lay down and closed her eyes, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably. She felt a heartache. All the suffering and leaving would come at once, making her feel pain and suffering at the same time.
