Chapter 404 – Without You, I’d Rather Die Than Live
Because Jiang Ruolan was pregnant, Jiang Yijun didn't take out a second cigarette and just put his hand in his pocket, indicating that he didn't want to answer her question.
But who was Jiang Ruolan?
She was already staring at him and clearly didn't intend to let this matter go. Jiang Yijun said in a neutral tone, "Cui Liuxian told me to play some scenes with her and to lead you and Xian Zihao away so that grandpa would not accept you. She then asked me to bring you away from here, to fulfill my wishful thinking."
Jiang Ruolan frowned. "You agreed?"
"Jiang Ruolan, we've lived together for more than 20 years. Is the Jiang Yijun that you know that much of a bastard?" Jiang Yijun glanced at her, sneered, and walked around her without looking back.
Since Jiang Yijun was able to say this, Jiang Ruolan knew that he had never changed. He was still the same handsome and righteous Jiang Yijun.
It would be a lie to say she was not happy. Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked at Jiang Yijun's back, her lips slightly curling up.
Jiang Yijun only took a few steps before he stopped. He turned around and looked at her before walking back towards her. Since he was 1.8 meters tall, he had to bent down and whisper in her ear. "This time, it was really Jiang Bingqing's doing. Cui Liuxian may not be involved, but she knows about it very well. You have to be careful. "
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. I just didn't think that Bingqing would be able to get in contact with people outside. The other day, Zihao said that even though she couldn't get out, with her position in the Jiang Family, it would be easier for her to get some people to go visit her." Jiang Ruolan said.
When Jiang Yijun saw that she understood what he was trying to convey, he said nothing more. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "I will go to the traffic police station now. I will tell you about the situation when I return."
"Alright."
Xian Zihao still hadn't woken up that night. The doctor came to check his condition. Because he lost too much blood, he needed time to recover. The wound on his shoulder and his back were under control, and although his head was badly injured, there was no damage to the brain or blood clots. They expected him to wake up by tomorrow morning.
After hearing the doctor's words, Jiang Ruolan did not plan to sleep the whole night. She stayed by the bed all the time, using a wet towel to wipe Xian Zihao's hands and body.
Although Xian Zihao was not someone with germaphobia, he always kept himself clean. Jiang Ruolan didn't want him to feel uncomfortable when he woke up later.
Around 11 pm, the hospital corridor became quieter. Only a few nurses on duty sometimes walk back and forth to check the patient. The night gradually became quiet, and Jiang Ruolan finally could not stand it anymore and leaned against Xian Zihao's bed and looked at him before closing her eyes.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly was awakened by a light noise, and because she was lying on the bed, she immediately sensed any movement from the bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Xian Zihao had woken up and was trying to get up.
"Zihao? Are you awake?" There was only a dim yellow light in this ward, and Jiang Ruolan could barely see Xian Zihao's handsome face. She was confused and thought she was dreaming, so she unconsciously opened her mouth.
In the end, the man on the sickbed, who was struggling to get up, couldn't help but look at her with a bit of contempt in his eyes. He glanced at her again with a funny expression and said softly, "Otherwise? Do you think I'm a ghost?"
Jiang Ruolan pinched her arm and looked at him blankly before her tears started to fall. It was unknown if they were due to pain or excitement, but when she heard his voice, she immediately stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll go call the doctor. They said that I should call them right after you wake up!"
However, Xian Zihao seemed to have some difficulty. He frowned and said, "Don't call a doctor yet."
"What's wrong? Are you in pain somewhere? Is your back hurt?" Jiang Ruolan stopped walking and looked towards the bed. She looked at him carefully. "Zihao, what's wrong with you? Tell me!"
"Don't panic, I've woken up, what else could happen?" Seeing her nervous expression, Xian Zihao smiled. Although his lips were pale, they remained soft and supple.
"Then … Should I get you something to eat? You have been sleeping for a long time and haven't eaten anything. You have depended on glucose these past few days. I will go out and see if there is still porridge in the restaurant nearby. Now, you can only eat liquid food, otherwise, your stomach won't be able to take it." With that, Jiang Ruolan picked up her coat in a hurry.
However, her wrist was gently grabbed by Xian Zihao's warm hand. He didn't seem to have any strength left, he just held her hand without using any strength. Jiang Ruolan then stopped and asked, "Do you want to eat something else? I'll buy it together. "
"It's already so late, and there's no restaurant open anymore." Xian Zihao sighed and laughed. "Stop torturing yourself. Even if you buy it, I can't eat it right now."
"You still have to eat! Should I call the doctor?" This was the first time Jiang Ruolan had encountered a pale and weak Xian Zihao. For a moment, she was confused about what to do.
This was far more serious than the night when he fainted from stomach problems. At the time, he was fine after resting for one night, but now, he had just escaped from the hands of the god of death. Jiang Ruolan felt like she was in a dream and both of her feet were floating.
Xian Zihao raised his hand and coughed softly. "Um …Ruolan."
"Hmm?"
"Help me to the washroom first …"
Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing. There were times when Xian Zihao felt embarrassed.
Jiang Ruolan carefully helped Xian Zihao out of his bed. Because he had just gotten up and hadn't eaten for a few days, he was weak and didn't have much strength, so he could only lean on her, but because she was pregnant, he didn't want to lean on her fully.
Xian Zihao slowly forced himself to walk. Jiang Ruolan put her hand on his waist and said, "The water in the private bathroom in this ward is broken, so I help you go to the bathroom outside. It's also very clean and not far."
Xian Zihao nodded and walked out with Jiang Ruolan's help.
Xian Zihao initially planned to enter on his own because it was a men's toilet, but Jiang Ruolan feared that she would not be able to hear it if he fell, so she took advantage of the lack of people in the bathroom to observe the situation carefully. After confirming that there was no one in it, she immediately supported him.
This was the first time Jiang Ruolan had entered a men's toilet. Xian Zihao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't stop her.
Not long after, they both returned to the ward. When they returned, the nurse on duty saw them, and Jiang Ruolan immediately asked the nurse to call the doctor on duty. A minute after they returned, the doctor on duty arrived.
"President Xian." As soon as the doctor came in, he politely walked over to Xian Zihao and helped him sit on the bed. After a thorough examination, he put down his stethoscope and said, "The wound on your back is not light, you need to recuperate carefully for a period of time."
Xian Zihao nodded politely. "Thank you for saving my life."
"President Xian, you are being serious. This is something that we should do. It is also our hospital's fortune to have you here."
Xian Zihao pursed his lips. The doctor knew he had just woken up and didn't have the energy to continue speaking, so he nodded and told Jiang Ruolan about the things she needed to pay attention to for the past two days before leaving.
When the doctor left, Jiang Ruolan rushed to Xian Zihao's side and held his hand tightly. "The doctor said you were fine. Finally, you were fine. I was almost scared to death!"
Xian Zihao looked at her with a comforting gaze and gently held her hand. "Stop crying, I'm fine now. If you continue to cry, my heart will ache again, hmm?"
"Xian Zihao, you can't do this again next time. If something really happens to you…Even if you were trying to protect our child and me, but without you, I'd rather die than live!"
"Idiot, why are you talking about dying and living? I just woke up. Are you cursing me?"
Xian Zihao's black eyes were filled with a gentle light.
