"I've had enough. You should eat some too. You must have been exhausted these days and need some nourishment."

The woman's concern made Chu Xing's mouth rise silently and reveal a smile.

"I bought two servings. Don't worry, you are weak and need to eat more. Have another bowl."

Song Mai felt a little relieved after hearing him say this.

She was indeed hungry, and the chicken soup tasted delicious, stimulating her taste buds and whetting her appetite.

It didn't take long before the chicken soup was finished.

"Are you full?"

Song Mai touched her round belly and felt very comfortable.

"full."

The conditions in this ward are great, the bed is comfortable and the food is delicious.

If it weren't for the pain in her shoulder wound, she would have almost felt like she was on vacation instead of recuperating.

After dinner, Chu Xing gently helped her move her hands and feet.

She hadn't moved for a week, and now, except for the injured arm, her legs and feet were a little stiff.

Song Mai looked at Chu Xing taking care of her so considerately, and the smile on her lips never disappeared.

【Maybe this is the feeling of happiness...】

After a while, Jiang Jibai came over to change her medicine.

Because of her weak body, the wounds were healing but very slowly.

Jiang Jibai repeatedly told her to eat more supplements, saying that only by eating more good things could she get better quickly.

After changing the medicine, Jiang Jibai left. Chu Xing sat at the table next to him and worked with his notebook. Song Mai didn't know if it was because she was dizzy from eating too much or what. She had slept for many days, but at this moment her eyelids were still fighting with sleepiness.

"Get some sleep. You are weak and need more rest."

The man said with concern.

"how about you?"

She looked at Chu Xing with some uneasiness.

Although what happened last time has passed, she was inevitably frightened after experiencing that. She felt very uneasy as long as she was in Zicheng for one day.

"I'm right here, don't be afraid, I won't leave."

Song Mai felt relieved after hearing this and closed his eyes obediently.

She felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.

The woman's breathing was very light, and in the quiet room Chu Xing could clearly hear her even breathing.

This reassured him.

"Buzz-"

The cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and Chu Xing quickly picked it up. He glanced at the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and quickly walked out of the ward.

"what's up?"

Just as Mr. Chu was about to speak, he heard his grandson's cold tone and immediately became angry.

"How dare you talk to your grandfather, little brat?"

"what happened?"

Mr. Chu was preoccupied with his own affairs, and he didn't care whether his grandson was polite or not, and said anxiously:

"I just went to Yunxing, and Xiao Lu said you weren't around these days. I heard you took Maizi on a trip? And you said you didn't like her, but I've never seen you take any girl on a trip. It's obvious that you like her, but you're still being stubborn. You have to admit it now, right? Your grandpa has a good eye for people, right?"

"Will I have a great-grandson when you guys come? You two should hurry up. Traveling makes you feel good and the quality of the baby you give birth to is also high. Oh, and you have to take good care of my granddaughter-in-law and don't let her get hurt. If anything happens, I won't forgive you."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't let your imagination run wild, just enjoy your old age."

Mr. Chu was so angry at Chu Xing's attitude that he jumped up and down:

"You little brat! I'm your grandfather, and you're so disrespectful. I heard from Xiao Lu that you've been gone for a long time. When do you plan to come back? I haven't seen Maizi for a long time. Come back and see me as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while."

Hearing this, Mr. Chu immediately sensed something unusual in his grandson's attitude.

"Why? What happened? Did you make Maizi angry? Did you bully her? She's such a good girl, don't bully her without knowing what's good for you. When you come back, I'll settle the score with you on her behalf!"

Chu Xing pinched his brows tiredly.

"No, don't talk nonsense."

"what happened?"

Chu Xing was a child raised by Grandpa Chu, and he knew his grandson very well.

Although Chu Xing was always aloof from others and rarely expressed his emotions, he still noticed that something was wrong with him.

"It's nothing, I have something else to do, I'll hang up first."

Mr. Chu's tone immediately became heavy and extremely serious.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Xiao Lu. I don't believe he doesn't know either. I have plenty of ways to get him to tell me."

Chu Xing had no choice but to tell him everything.

When Mr. Chu heard this, he immediately exploded:

"What! Maizi is injured! How is she now? Which hospital is she in? I'll be there right now!"

Listening to Mr. Chu's loud voice on the phone, Chu Xing silently moved the phone away.

"The operation was successful and she has woken up. However, she still needs to rest from the wound. She just had a meal and is now asleep. Ji Bai is here and he will take good care of her. You don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Mr. Chu breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good that she's awake! The Jiang family's child is a very good doctor. I feel relieved to have him looking after her. You take good care of her. When she wakes up and has a chance to go to the bathroom, I want to call her and have a few words with her."

"okay, I get it."

"Don't worry, I'll go over to Yunxing from time to time. With Xiao Lu around, nothing will go wrong."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xing gently pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

The curtains in the ward were drawn, the lights in the room were dim, and the woman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her small hands tightly grasping the corner of the quilt.

As if she had had some terrible dream, she was trembling slightly, with tear marks on her face.

"Song Mai."

The man shook her gently, but she seemed to be in a nightmare, immersed in it for a long time and unable to wake up.

He was very worried and called her several times before waking her up.

The woman's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, hazy and full of tears.

She was gasping for breath as if she had dreamt of something terrible.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

He asked gently, trying to dispel the fear and anxiety in her heart.

She nodded gently: "I dreamed of that day..."

She didn't continue to say the rest, but Chu Xing already understood it all.

He held her hand. The woman's hand was as cold as ice and had no temperature.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over. This won't happen again. I'm here to protect you. Trust me, okay?"

Song Mai nodded slowly, and held his hand with her little hand, clasping it tightly, like a drowning person finally grabbing a life-saving straw.

"it is good."

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

The man's voice was tender and gentle.

He gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and his thin lips moved down, leaving a cool kiss on the woman's forehead, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart.
