Chapter 899: You Have Yet To Put On A Wedding Dress For Me
Inside the ward
Zhou Yao carried Han Xuan and placed her down on the bed, and the doctor with the big beard quickly came over to help her to do another check.
“Major General Zhou, the patient is doing fine, but in the future, we still need to avoid provoking her mentally, and we need to pay more attention to rest.”
Zhou Yao nodded his head.
The doctor with the big beard walked out.
“Older Sister Han, are you okay? You gave me a shock just now. Come, drink some warm water to warm your body up.” Xiao Xi handed a gla.s.s of warm water over to Han Xuan.
“Xiao Xi, thank you.” Han Xuan accepted the gla.s.s of water.
“Older Sister Han, you can never again do something so silly in the future. Everything is good now. You can be relieved as you recover and wait to be discharged, and the moment you are discharged, you will become the prettiest bride on earth. You’ll be Mrs. Zhou.” Xiao Xi was happy as she spoke.
Han Xuan took a mouthful of water and secretly looked over at Zhou Yao. The man was tall with long legs and leaned against the side of the wall. He was some distance away from her.
He’d already promised her that they would get married very quickly. Xiao Xi calling her Mrs. Zhou filled her heart up with sweetness, but this kind of sweetness froze the moment she saw the man’s gaze. Zhou Yao was looking at her. His dark gaze was fixed on her face without too much of an expression on his face, and it seemed to not have much warmth. He was very cold.
Han Xuan’s face became even paler at this moment.
Xiao Xi did not notice the interaction between them. She was still feeling unfair on the behalf of Han Xuan as she said, “Older Sister Han, just now on the rooftop, Miss Leng was going way overboard. How could she use those words to provoke you? I think that she hopes that you would end up in trouble. She is way too evil…”
Xiao Xi stopped speaking halfway because she sensed two gazes on her face. She raised her head up, and Zhou Yao had a sharp, cold gaze as he stared at her.
“Major General Zhou, I…” Xiao Xi froze.
Zhou Yao withdrew his gaze from Xiao Xi’s face. He stood up straight and glanced at Han Xuan as he said, “If you are okay, I’m going to head out.”
He parted his long legs and left.
Xiao Xi noticed that he left, and quickly yet softly told Han Xuan, “Older Sister Han, how can Major General Zhou still defend that Miss Leng? I just said something bad about her, and that is not alright…”
Han Xuan was squeezing her gla.s.s of water, and she hated that she could not shatter the gla.s.s in her hand.
Knock, knock. Someone was knocking on the door. Xiao Zhi walked inside. Xiao Zhi looked over at Xiao Xi directly as he said, “You have been stripped of your nursing license and have been fired by this hospital. You can leave right now.”
“What?” Xiao Xi was shocked, and she fearfully asked, “What mistake did I make? Why did they have to strip my license and fire me?”
“Because, the hospital does not need gossipy nurses.”
Gossipy?
Xiao Xi quickly understood what was going on. She shook her head and said, “I did not gossip. Don’t strip my nursing license. I tried so hard to go to university just to get the license… Older Sister Han, save me. You are going to be Mrs. Zhou now. Please ask for mercy from Major General Zhou on my behalf…”
Han Xuan noticed Xiao Xi’s behavior and quickly looked over at Xiao Zhi as she said, “Xiao Zhi, where is your Major General? I am looking for him. Xiao Xi has been taking care of me all this time. She is my friend…”
“Miss Han Xuan, Major General asked you to rest more, and you don’t have to worry about other matters.” Xiao Zhi made a gesture with his hands towards the outside as he said, “Someone come over. Drag her out.”
Two people came over quickly, and they dragged Xiao Xi out.
Xiao Xi was still shouting out loudly as she said, “Older Sister Han, save me… No, you are unable to save me. Only Miss Leng would be able to save me… Miss Leng, I know my mistakes, I would not dare to do such a thing again in the future. I am begging you to let me go…”
Xiao Xi’s voice got quieter in the distance.
Han Xuan’s entire body was shaking. Her chest was panting furiously. Zhou Yao was giving her a slap in her face by doing this. He did not have any care or other concern other than to protect Leng Zhiyuan.
Cras.h.!.+ She threw the cup that she was holding in her hand directly onto the floor as it shattered into many pieces.
“Where is your Major General? I want to see him! Right now, at this moment!”
Xiao Zhi looked over at Han Xuan. He was polite and distant as he nodded his head and said, “Major General said that the doctors have already done the check up for you, so for these few days, you should have a proper rest. If there are any problems, there are doctors in the hospital. I will also be here to take care of Miss Han Xuan. Major General is busy and has already left the hospital.”
What? He left?
He just left like that?
Han Xuan’s eyes turned red. She firmly grabbed her sheets. Zhou Yao, why did he have to treat her like that?
“Miss Han Xuan, I have already arranged for professional nurses for you. You can rest properly. I’m leaving now.” Xiao Zhi left.
“Hah, haha…” Han Xuan was the only one left inside the ward. She laughed out softly. Was she all alone now? Zhou Yao was gone, and even Xiao Zhi’s att.i.tude towards her was drastically different. Although she’d definitely gotten whatever she wanted, why did she feel that she was losing out instead?
She’d wasted that remaining value that she had left.
…
Zhou Yao went back to the room. He pushed the door open, went inside, and quickly scanned the entire room. The room was empty, and Leng Zhiyuan was gone.
She left.
Zhou Yao went inside and stretched his hand out to touch the table and clothes hanger before he sat down on the side of the bed…
Everything from the night before was still so vividly clear, and her warmth and fragrance still lingered in the room.
But…she left.
He saw a note left on the bed stand through his peripheral vision. He quickly grabbed the note to have a look. There was a sentence of cool, pretty handwriting on the note. It was just like her — Zhou Yao, I am leaving. Goodbye.
Goodbye…
She was saying farewell to him.
He could imagine the feelings that she felt when she left. There was definitely a smile on the corners of her lips. No matter whether he failed her or betrayed her, she could still be so calm as she told him, “Goodbye.”….
His mind was full of her small attractive face and also the way she looked when she was against his back as she spoke softly this morning. He had a strong urge. He wanted to give her a call.
He took his phone out of his pocket to have a look, and he dialled that extremely familiar number.
She would probably pick up, right?
She would pick up.
Ding, ding. The ringtone rang out once, and the person on the other end picked up, “h.e.l.lo…”
It was her voice.
He had many things to tell her, but when he heard her voice, he did not know where to start. He held the phone in his hand. His eyes were all red as he stood silent.
“Oy, Zhou Yao, is something wrong? Say something.” Her voice was very hoa.r.s.e.
He froze for a moment before he pursed his thin lips as he said, “Sorry…”
“Zhou Yao, you don’t have to apologize. If it were me, I would also make the same choice as you. I have long made preparations ever since I pushed you over to Han Xuan to do the blood exchange procedure, so you don’t have to feel burdened. This choice, is the choice that we made together. You did not let me down.”
“But…” Zhou Yao’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said, “Are we ending just like that? I do not want to end off just like that. This ending is so rushed..”
“Zhou Yao…”
“I do not want to end like that. I suddenly remembered that we have yet to have a wedding that truly belonged to us. We have yet to go on a honeymoon, and you have not…put on a wedding dress…”
