Chapter 1745: See You (2)
After a moment of silence, Qi Lei smiled and said in a low voice—
“Aren’t you worried about handing yourself over to me just like that?”
What if he did not achieve the result she had expected?
“Of course I’m worried and scared, but since it’s you, I’ll bet on it too. That’s why I have to keep an eye on you. But of course, seeing your well intentions, that makes me happy too.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not wait for him to finish his sentence and cut him off.
Hearing this, Qi Lei had to admit that she made him feel a faint joy.
“Have breakfast, once you’re done we’ll rest for a bit and then go over.”
Qi Lei did not say anything after that. After saying this, he lowered his head and continued to enjoy his breakfast. However, his handsome face revealed his happy mood.
…
Not long after breakfast, the couple headed straight for the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already past nine in the morning. There were many people at the hospital. Since it was the weekend, they were naturally busier than usual.
“Master Qi, Missus, we’ve arrived at the hospital!”
The car had just stopped when Yang Sheng, who was in front, came over to help open the car door.
Qi Lei got out of the car and very gentlemanly extended his hand towards Dongfang Liuyun in the car. Dongfang Liuyun put her hand into his and followed his lead as she slowly got out of the car.
“The doctor is still giving President Qi a checkup. Master Qi, Missus, shall we go up first?” Yang Sheng asked.
Qi Lei nodded and let go of Dongfang Liuyun’s hand. He put one hand in his pocket and walked forward unhurriedly.
Dongfang Liuyun watched his back as he walked past her and paused for a while before following him.
…
After entering the elevator and coming out, she turned around the winding corridor and followed Qi Lei all the way to the VIP ward. After a while, they arrived at a quiet ward door.
The door to the ward was open.
Standing at the door, she could still hear voices in the ward. Before she could regain her senses, the half-closed door was suddenly pulled open, and the doctor walked out.
It was Liang Jing!
“Doctor Liang, how is our President Qi’s condition?” Yang Sheng asked immediately.
Liang Jing flipped open the medical record in her hand and looked at it. Then, she looked up at Qi Lei. Her gaze soon stopped on Dongfang Liuyun who was beside Qi Lei. Her eyes lit up and she asked subconsciously, “Qi Lei, this is?”
“Dongfang Liuyun, my wife. Liuyun, this is Chief Physician Liang, my father’s attending physician and Zhou Zimo’s mother.”
Qi Lei gave a simple introduction.
“Hello, Aunty Liang.”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly greeted Liang Jing.
Liang Jing was stunned for a while before she regained her senses. Previously, she had heard Zhou Zimo mention the fact that Qi Lei was already married. She did not expect him to marry such a good woman!
Liang Jing could not help but feel a little happy. She smiled and said, “I see. Hello, Liuyun!”
“How’s my father’s condition?” Qi Lei looked into the ward and asked.
“Still the same. His body’s condition has recovered, but he hasn’t woken up yet. Today’s routine check-up shows that his bodily functions have returned to normal. If you ask me when he’ll wake up, I’m afraid I still can’t answer you.”
Liang Jing answered very sincerely, “The current situation is that his body has mostly recovered, but he hasn’t woken up yet. We’ve studied it in detail. It should be because he subconsciously doesn’t want to wake up, or because he can’t face the truth, so he hasn’t regained consciousness yet.”
Hearing this, Qi Lei’s expression froze, but he did not say anything after that.
He paused for a moment before walking over to the ward. Dongfang Liuyun followed him in.
In the ward, the nurse was helping Qi Qiming settle down. When she saw Qi Lei walk in, she bowed respectfully.
Qi Lei nodded and said calmly, “You may leave first.”
“Yes, Mr. Qi.”
The nurse acknowledged him before leaving.
Qi Lei slowly walked to Qi Qiming’s bedside and stopped. He looked down at Qi Qiming, who did not have any reaction on the bed. He was silent for a while before he spoke softly, “All this while, that’s the news I’ve been hearing. So, I really didn’t know if I should bring you here. Otherwise, this is the only thing you’ll be seeing.”
As he spoke, Qi Lei did not turn to look at Dongfang Liuyun. He continued to silently look at Qi Qiming on the hospital bed. There was a rare hint of melancholy on his handsome face, “Maybe this is God’s punishment for him. Many times, God is still fair.”
Dongfang Liuyun stood beside him and looked at Qi Qiming on the hospital bed for a while. She turned her gaze and quickly looked at him. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Do you really think that he’s paying his debt like this?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not think much of it. She glanced at Qi Qiming and then looked away, “How can you pay back the debt that you owe so easily? No matter what, he is the one who gave you life. Even if we don’t ask him for anything, we have to do our part. Do you really think that everyone should treat you well from the moment you were born? If you can think about it from another perspective and know that you’ll only get what you give, perhaps you’ll feel better.”
“Are you saying that I’m not open-minded by nature?”
Hearing Dongfang Liuyun say this, Qi Lei directly responded to her.
Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes at him and did not reply. Instead, she silently looked at Qi Qiming who was lying on the hospital bed—
Qi Qiming was not a stranger. She had more or less heard of his name among the upper-class circle. They seemed to have met him at some banquets, but they were not familiar with each other and did not have the chance to talk to each other.
She did not expect to marry into the Qi family in this lifetime. The person in front of her who was already very thin and had been lying on the bed was Qi Lei’s father.
Seeing him like this, he did not seem to be a demanding person, but who would have thought…
“Hello, I’m Dongfang Liuyun, Qi Lei’s wife. If you really care about Qi Lei, then please wake up with a strong heart. At least at our wedding, we won’t be denied the opportunity to serve you tea. If you think that you’re still a father, you won’t leave your child alone in this world. Right now, he’s all alone.”
Dongfang Liuyun bent down slightly and whispered into Qi Qiming’s ear.
After a pause, she continued, “Your son, Qi Lei, is a very outstanding person. I know that you actually care about him a lot. He’s not a person who will protect himself. You’re his father, and he has always needed you.”
Dongfang Liuyun lowered her voice to the point that Qi Lei could not hear her…
