Leaning against the back seat, her mind was full of him and her sonâ¦
She was so afraid, afraid of being sent to the isolation ward and unable to see them for a long time, also of⦠their being infected by herâ¦
âMiss, we've arrived.âThe driver's voice pulled her back from her thoughts. After paying the fares, she got off the taxi with struggle and she could hardly stand on her feet.
The hospital is close at hand.
Itâs torturing to queue up for registration especially with her condition.
âXingchen?â
When she felt she was about to give up, a familiar voice with concern suddenly sounded.
She felt as if she were hallucinating.
Xu Yan trotted from 10 meters away.
Her eyes were blurred, she tried to answer him. In spite of her dry lips moving, her voice was so hoarse that she could not call his name.
âItâs really you!â Xu Yan looked at her with worry, âwhatâs wrong with you?â
Half of her face was covered by the mask.
But he could still recognize her at a glance in the crowd despite the fact that they had broken up for so long. This is amazing.
Xia Xingchen shook her head and her body looked a bit shaky. Xu Yan stepped forward and supported her, âAre you OK?â
â⦠You⦠Stay away from meâ¦" Xia Xingchen pushed Xu Yan away, âdonât stay too close to meâ¦â
Seeing her condition, Xu Yan frowned and directly lifted her to his chest without saying a word.
âHey! Xu Yanâ¦â Xia Xingchen struggled, âput me down, I may be infected with Wis!â
âDonât talk nonsense!â Xu Yan looked down at her and then continued firmly, âif you are really infected, I will accompany you.â
His scorching eyes almost pierced through her heart and she stunned.
The next moment, she suddenly got annoyed, beating him with fists, âStop it! Do you think itâs a cold-like illness? People infected with it may die! Xu Yan, put me down now! â
âSave your energy, I wonât let you go!â Xu Yan insisted.
Xia Xingchen felt warm in heart. She looked up at him â it was the first time that she had been so close to him since they separated five years agoâ¦
He has matured a lotâ¦
That innocent youth had transformed into a handsome man.
He's such a pretty man who used to be her most beautiful dreamâ¦
âFool! If I do infect you, I wonât feel at easeâ¦" Her eyes got misty.
He looked down at her, pulled the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly, "Xingchen, you know what? Now I think⦠I can accompany you at this moment⦠is already a luxury for meâ¦"
His tone was so gloomy and sentimental that she felt her heart twitched a little.
At this moment, she was unable to say anything more in his arms.
She stopped struggling, looked away and didn't answer him.
âI know a doctor here who happened to be transferred from the fever department recently.â Xu Yan continued in a soft voice, âyou can rest assured that no matter what the situation is, you will not be alone.â
âThank you, Xu Yan.â She didn't want to refuse his kindness anymore.
Especially when she was sick and vulnerableâ¦
âBy the way, why do you come to the hospital? Are you sick?
He laughed, âYou are concerned about me?â
Xia Xingchen denied deliberately, âIâm so sick now that I have no energy to care about you.â
He laughed more happily, âDonât worry, I just have a bad insomnia recently, so I come here to get some sleeping pills.â
As a matter of factâ¦
After coming back from the hospital that day, he hardly closed his eyes these two nights. Once he did so, he would always remember when she was with Mr. Presidentâ¦
Every scene would stab his heart.
It hurt so muchâ¦
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦
The hospital is a very troublesome place.
Xia Xingchen was asked to do one examination after another. With a heavy head and feet, she was unable to distinguish the directions. Fortunately, Xu Yan was here to help her.
He did a lot of things for her running up and down in the hospital, actually, he was even more nervous than she was.
When the nurse was drawing her blood, he patiently patted her back and comforted her gently. When she felt thirsty, he would fetch warm water for her but himself was too busy to take a mouthful of water.
After all these examinations got done, Xia Xingchen was called into the consulting room by the doctor. Xu Yan asked the doctor first, âHowâs it going? Has the result come out yet?â
âThere is one result coming out two days later. In these two days, the patient had better stay at home and not go anywhere. Everyone should keep her at a distance." The doctor advised and took a look at Xu Yan, âyou too, these few days donât stay so close to her .â
âI know that.â Xu Yan was afraid that Xia Xingchen would get upset, he looked at her with concern.
She pulled her mask tighter and asked in a soft voice, âDoctor, then⦠With my case, is there a high possibility of infection?
âYes. But now the result hasn't come out, no one can say that for sure.â
Hearing that, Xia Xingchenâs heart got cold, and the tears was accumulating in her eyes.
âIâll make a phone call.â She spoke to Xu Yan in a low voice, then went out and huddled in a small corner. Xu Yanâs worried eyes followed her.
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦
First, she called the presidential residence and asked the butler to answer the phone.
âMiss Xia.â
âMr. butler, please⦠Sterilize the whole house. Especially in the rooms of little master and Mr. President, donât miss any cornerâ¦â She spoke in a mute voice.
âWhatâs wrong, Miss Xia?â The butler was worried.
Xia Xingchen was afraid that the butler would tell Bai Yeqing and Xia Dabai, so she simply said, âDo what I say, remember, donât miss every corner. I have to make other calls, gotta go.â
Then she hung up without waiting for the butler to answer.
She contemplated for a while and opened the phone book, fixing her eyes on the number of "Future Husband".
She was really worried about himâ¦
Finally, she dialed the number.
In fact, she did not hold any hope that he would pick it up, because heâs always so busyâ¦
Butâ¦
This time, after the phone rang three times, he answered the phone.
He didnât take the lead in speaking, but just listened to her breath coming from the other end.
Xia Xingchen also listened quietly and her eyes became misty without a reason.
