The waiting time was the hardest to bear, and by the time Michelle came out of the operating room, it was already close to evening.
Lin Muhan let Uncle Fu bring the old man and the others back first. He quietly looked at the incredibly quiet Mi Xue on the sickbed.
The wind, blowing against the curtains, made a slight noise.
The setting sun shone through the glass onto the side of Michelle's face. Her hair was laid out casually, as if it were a beautiful painting. The only difference was that the hanging bottle had messed up the beauty of the moment.
"How long until she wakes up?" Lin Muhan asked Xu Yansheng who was standing beside him.
"She's afraid of pain. The anesthetic gave her a certain amount, so she'll need about an hour more." Xu Yansheng looked at his alloy watch.
Afraid of pain …
Lin Muhan thought about how he had always tortured her body and heart with every method possible in the past. This stubborn little woman would forever stubbornly bite her lips and not make a sound.
He thought she wasn't afraid.
So it turned out that she was just stubborn, and he had never understood it.
"I'm going to rest for a bit. Ring the bell when I wake up." Xu Yansheng swept a glance over him and walked out of the room.
Lin Muhan moved a chair over and sat on the side of the bed, as if he had not seen enough.
Time passed, but he didn't even change his posture. Only when his long eyelashes fluttered and his elegant eyebrows creased slightly did he ring the bell.
As expected, Mi Xue quickly opened her eyes. When she saw Lin Muhan sitting on the bedside, she was astonished.
"Better?" Lin Muhan asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Michelle answered vaguely.
"Tell me where you're feeling uncomfortable, and I'll have Ting Sheng check it out for you." Lin Muhan asked worriedly.
Mi Xue shook her head weakly. "I'm fine now, just ask Aunt Liu to come over. You still have to go to the company tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter."
Since he said so, Michelle could not say anything else.
"He woke up." Xu Yansheng pushed the door and entered, smiling as he looked at Mi Xue, "The situation isn't bad."
"This is not bad at all. She definitely doesn't feel well. Hurry up and check her." Lin Muhan said with a cold face.
Xu Yansheng looked at him in astonishment, then gave Mi Xue a series of tests, "I just finished the surgery, and it will still hurt, and because of the anesthetic, I might feel uncomfortable. You can't eat tonight. You can eat liquid food in the morning. "
After he said that, Lin Muhan closed the medical card in his hand, "I'm getting off work, you need a doctor."
Perhaps it was because she had just finished the operation, but Mi Xue's mental state was not very good. However, after a while, she woke up and fell asleep in a daze. In her dreams, she seemed to be having a bad dream, mumbling something in her ear that Lin Muhan couldn't hear clearly.
After half a night passed, when she finally fell asleep. Lin Muhan wanted to change her posture, but found that she was tightly holding her hands, and after slightly moving her hands, she immediately felt as if she had lost her most precious thing.
He sighed softly and sat down in his original position.
Early in the morning, Michelle woke up from her sleep. The white color in her eyes caused her to be stunned for a long time before she remembered the pain and suffering she had suffered yesterday.
Turning his head to the side, he saw Lin Muhan lying prone on the bedside, her tall and big body nestling in an incongruous manner, his hands tightly grabbing onto her hands.
The corner of his lips curled up slightly. His pale face had become more lively at this moment.
Quietly sizing up Lin Muhan's face from the side, the depths of his eyes had a faint green color, bringing with it some exhaustion. And the stubble on his chin, which was very different from his usual clean and concise appearance, was starting to emerge.
Of course, the most obvious change was the calmness on his face. He no longer had the coldness from waking up, which made people want to get close to him.
If only he could continue like this forever!
All his life …
Suddenly, Michelle had such hopes.
She gently turned her body, but in the end, she was still able to undergo surgery. The pain caused her to inhale a breath of cold air as she felt a slight tug on her hand.
"You're awake?" Lin Muhan, who was still in deep sleep a moment ago, woke up immediately. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"It's nothing, I just..." As the words reached his mouth, he felt awkward.
What was she supposed to say? She just wanted to go to the toilet!
It was as if he could see her awkwardness, but luckily he wasn't done yet, so Lin Muhan picked her up.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Looking at her nervous expression, Lin Muhan suddenly laughed and said, "You're already an old man and your wife, I've never seen that inch of yours, it's just going to the toilet, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
When Michelle, who was going to pretend nothing had happened, heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Soon, her face turned as red as a rich man's.
After placing her in the bathroom, Lin Muhan walked out and said, "Okay, call me."
She was even more embarrassed by his care.
When had they become so good?
When she returned to the ward, the atmosphere was different. Michelle turned around, unable to hide her embarrassment.
"Young mistress." The door to the ward was pushed open. Aunt Liu came over with breakfast, breaking the awkward silence in the room.
"Much better." Michelle smiled.
"I've cooked some congee for you, you and Young Master can eat while it's still hot." Aunt Liu hastily took the items out from the thermal insulating box.
She hadn't eaten anything yesterday, so she was already starving. However, after making a slight movement, the pain was unbearable, so she could only lie back on the bed.
"Don't move!" Noticing her actions, Lin Muhan's gaze darkened.
Mi Xue eagerly looked at the bowl of congee in front of her. The room was filled with a sweet smell. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and said pitifully, "I'm hungry."
"Ting Sheng said that the reason why you have appendicitis is because you ate too many spicy dishes yesterday. Lin Muhan continued to ask.
"My stomach wasn't feeling well yesterday. I was planning to go for a hot water drink, but I didn't expect that the water dispenser in the tea room would be broken. I drank a glass of ice water." Michelle only felt unlucky.
If he hadn't drunk that cup of cold water, he probably wouldn't have been cut by the knife.
Lin Muhan caught onto the message within her words and unhurriedly shook the bed, he then pushed the dining chair in front of her and brought up the congee, along with two light dishes.
Mi Xue's fingers moved as she tried to grab the spoon. However, she accidentally pulled on the spoon again, causing her to grimace in pain.
Looking at the delicious porridge and the dishes that could not be eaten, Michelle felt even worse.
As Lin Muhan sat on the edge of the bed, he scooped up a spoonful and blew on it. Michelle sighed, was this person even a little compassionate?
Bad!
This is bad!
The next second, she couldn't say it anymore.
Lin Muhan passed the finished porridge to Mi Xue and said softly, "The porridge is a little hot, be careful!"
Michelle's jaw dropped. This was too shocking!
Her chin was about to fall off!
Aunt Liu was the same, was this still the young master that she knew?
"What's wrong?" Lin Muhan saw that Mi Xue did not react and frowned as he asked her.
Michelle finished the porridge in her spoon and smiled in embarrassment. "Nothing, thank you."
Lin Muhan did not respond, he gave some side dishes to Mi Xue and repeated his previous action.
Sweet, overflowing.
When Aunt Liu saw the two being so close and friendly, she laughed and quietly moved to the side and put away the things she brought with her.
For one meal, I'll let you have me and you get me.
It was only until Lin Muhan left for the company that Mi Xue finally woke up from her beautiful dream. She could not help but ask Aunt Liu, "Am I dreaming?"
"Young Mistress, it was really Young Master who fed you." Aunt Liu laughed and said, "You should have noticed the change that Young Master has gone through recently. I think Young Master really wants to live a good life now."
Towards such a change, Aunt Liu, who was used to Mi Xue's suffering, was naturally very pleased and secretly happy for her.
Michelle smiled bitterly.
He being nice to her was only because of her grandfather, and it just so happened that they were at odds.
"This is the first time I've seen Young Master feed someone, Young Mistress, even though the child …" Only then did Aunt Liu notice the sorrow on Mi Xue's face. She thought that Mi Xue was talking about her child and immediately patted her mouth. "Look at my mouth!"
"I'm fine." Michelle felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were the ones who lied about the child.
Aunt Liu did not continue speaking and only packed everything up. Not long after, the old man came over and looked at Mi Xue from head to toe, catching Xu Yansheng who had just gone to work, and asked her a bunch of questions.
"Where's the brat?" The old tutor swept his gaze over the unhappy questions.
"Young Master went to work. He stayed with Young Mistress all night last night, and he even fed her before he left." Aunt Liu immediately spoke of Lin Muhan's situation as if he was offering a treasure.
The old man was very happy when he heard this, but he still reproached with a cold expression on his face, "My wife is already so ill. Why would she go to a company? It's not like she can't go without him."
"Grandpa, the company still has a lot of things to deal with." Mi Xue cleared up for Lin Muhan.
Seeing this scene, the old man was naturally happy, but he quickly said with concern, "Xue Xue Xue, it's okay if the child is gone. The most important thing is to take care of his body. Take advantage of this time to recuperate, otherwise, his body will suffer."
"Grandfather, actually …" Seeing the old man's concerned look, Mi Xue couldn't bear to lie anymore. But thinking about the matter that Lin Muhan had caused, she couldn't help but change the topic, "I got it."
"Rest well. I still have things to do, so I'll head back first." The old tutor sighed, a hint of sadness on his face.
Michelle knew that it was definitely because of her uncles and aunts. She couldn't bring herself to speak of matters regarding her elders.
After the old man left, there was only Mi Xue left in the ward. Thinking of the scene that morning, she couldn't help but smile.
Not long after, a sound came from outside the door. Mi Xue thought that it was Aunt Liu and did not take it to heart.
However, when the door of the ward was pushed open, the sound of her high heels hitting the floor made a "Da Da Da" sound. Only then did she realise that it was not Aunt Liu.
When she raised her head and saw who it was, her good mood vanished like smoke into thin air. She coldly said, "What are you doing here?"
