Chapter 985: Chapter 985: I Like You (70)

Zuo Yue hugged him too tightly. Xu Chengfeng slowly frowned and was about to put her back on the bed, but she hugged his neck and refused to let go.

Xu Chengfeng frowned and said coldly,””Zuo Yue, I’ve warned you before. Stop messing around.”

“I’m not messing around.” Zuo Yue had just woken up from a nightmare and was very happy when she saw him. That was why she did not distinguish between reality and dream for a moment and kissed him instinctively.

But now that she was awake, she did not regret it at all. Even if she was about to welcome Xu Chengfeng’s disgust and unexpected storm, she had enough of holding back those emotions. She wanted to like him, tell him, and share her thoughts with him…

The girl’s clear and firm voice made Xu Chengfeng’s face turn cold. He immediately pulled her hand away and placed her back on the hospital bed. Then, he turned around and left.

“Uncle, every time you turn around and walk away, is it because you can’t win against me, or do you want to deliberately avoid something? You can tell that I like you, right?”Zuo Yue suddenly knelt up on the bed and said anxiously as she stared at his back.

Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and suddenly looked at her coldly as if he was looking at a monster.”Take back your love. I’m your uncle, not a man you can casually like. I won’t argue with you because you’re young, but Zuo Yue, this is the last chance I’m giving you to be willful. Lie back down and don’t move around!”

Zuo Yue bit her lip and turned around to get off the bed. She did not care if she had the strength or not. She ran behind him and wanted to hug him. Xu Chengfeng turned around the moment he felt her running in. He took a step back to avoid her outstretched hand and looked at her coldly.”Nonsense!”

“Uncle, I like you! I really like you!” Zuo Yue stood where she was and saw the coldness in his eyes. Suddenly, she was at a loss.” I wanted to control myself, but I couldn’t. I don’t know how I fell in love with you, but I had no choice. It’s the kind of love between a man and a woman, not the kind of affection…”

“Enough!” Xu Chengfeng’s expression was cold.” It seems that your mother didn’t make a wise decision to hand you over to me. I’ll ask her to come and pick you up tomorrow. It’s up to her whether she wants to change schools or someone else to take care of you. I won’t care about you anymore!””

Xu Chengfeng immediately turned around.

“Uncle!” Zuo Yue did not expect that her confession, which she could not control for a moment, would really force him away. She was so frightened that she quickly pounced over to grab him.

However, Xu Chengfeng walked too fast, as if he was avoiding her like a viper. Not only did Zuo Yue fail to pull him, but the moment he walked out of the door, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

“Ah…”

“Uncle…Don’t go…”

Xu Chengfeng was about to close the door when he stood outside the ward. He did not turn around to look, but he could hear Zuo Yue’s current condition.

She did not have any stamina at all. It would be strange if she did not fall.

The veins on the back of his hand that was holding the door handle gradually bulged. He endured it and finally closed the door mercilessly.

When he walked to the nurses ‘duty room nearby, Xu Chengfeng told the nurse about Zuo Yue’s condition and left immediately.

The nurse was a little confused. Didn’t Mr. Xu always care about his niece? Why didn’t he go back to help the little girl when she fell? Instead, he only asked them to go over. Moreover, Mr. Xu left in the middle of the night. His attitude seemed so cold and scary…

However, the nurse was still afraid that something had happened to the patient. She quickly ran to Zuo Yue’s ward and pushed the door open. She saw Zuo Yue lying on the ground without moving, as if she had fainted. She immediately shouted and hurriedly went forward to help her up.

..

The next night, Xu Chengfeng, who had not appeared in the hospital for the entire day, received a call from the hospital.

“Mr. Xu, Miss Zuo has been unconscious since last night. She has a high fever and is in a coma. Her condition is a little serious. The doctor is giving her a specialist consultation. There is no one else in the hospital now. When can you come and take a look? Miss Zuo has not woken up yet…”

Xu Chengfeng put down the phone and was silent for a long time. He got up and walked to the French window of the CEO’s office of the technology company. He looked in the direction of the private hospital from afar and the light that was always on in one of the windows.

*****

When Zuo Yue woke up again, she felt that someone was using a cotton swab to wet her mouth. She thought that her uncle had returned. She did not know how long she had slept, but she still turned her eyes.

“You’re awake?” After Xu Yuan gently moistened her dry lips, she said with heartache,””How did you get so sick? If Chengfeng hadn’t called me last night to tell me that you had been sick for many days, I wouldn’t have known that you were lying in the hospital.”

Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan, who had come to Boston at some point in time, in surprise. She slowly looked around, but there was no sign of Xu Chengfeng.

“Stop looking. Your uncle has been very busy recently and doesn’t have time to come over and take care of you. That’s why he informed me last night. I rushed here overnight. You’ve been sleeping ever since we arrived. Now that you’re finally awake, are you trying to scare me to death?”

Xu Yuan poured another glass of water as she spoke. She helped Zuo Yue sit up and fed her,””Drink some water. I really don’t know why you’re so sick. It’s fine if you have a fever, but you’ve even developed pneumonias. It’s fine if you have pneumonias, but now it’s severe pneumonias.”

Zuo Yue’s eyes darkened as she explained in a low voice,”” A few nights ago, I suddenly felt like I’ve gained a lot of weight, so I went to the school’s sports field to run. I sweated a lot, and then I was exposed to the cold wind. That’s all…”

“Fat? Are you still considered fat like this? Then why did you ask those who were really fat to live?”Xu Yuan was angry and heartbroken as she helped her lie back down.”You’re already thin enough. Now that you’re sick, you’ve lost even more weight. What are you thinking?”

Zuo Yue did not explain. She only looked at the many more needle marks on the back of her hand. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said,””Mom, did Uncle say that he will be busy in the future and won’t have time to take care of me, so he doesn’t want to take care of me anymore?”

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment.” I didn’t hear him say that. He only called me last night to tell me about your illness. It’s considered informing me. After all, I’m your mother. It’s his responsibility and human nature for him to inform me when you’re so sick. It has nothing to do with whether or not he wants to continue taking care of you.”

“Didn’t he say that he won’t care about me anymore?”Zuo Yue did not know how pale her face was, but she was obsessed with this question.

Xu Yuan furrowed her eyebrows.” Zuo Yue, I asked Chengfeng to take care of you. I only asked him to help me look after you occasionally, but he doesn’t have to be by your side all the time. He’s not someone who has much free time to begin with. He has already taken care of you for so many days. Now that I’m here, I only have something to do. Don’t overthink it.””
