Under the light, Qiao Jiusheng’s expression was clearly visible. Her beautiful face was covered in grief and panic.
Fang Yusheng’s heart ached. He gently rubbed the corner of Qiao Jiusheng’s eye with his left index finger. The agitated woman in his arms gradually calmed down. She also understood that what she had just experienced was just a dream. Qiao Jiusheng panted heavily in Fang Yusheng’s arms. She did not dare to look up or lower her head.
She was afraid that she would see something she could not withstand.
Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes were closed, and under her eyelids, her eyes moved slightly. Qiao Jiusheng’s throat moved up and down a few times before she mustered her courage and looked up at Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng was looking at her.
When their gazes met, Qiao Jiusheng was not confident. She grabbed Fang Yusheng’s arm and shouted, “Yusheng…” Qiao Jiusheng’s voice was especially hoa.r.s.e, like a piece of paper that had been cut by a knife. When the wind blew, it made a hoa.r.s.e sound.
Hearing her voice, Fang Yusheng’s heart ached even more.
“I’m here.”
Qiao Jiusheng did not dare to look down at her stomach. She looked at Fang Yusheng without moving her eyes. She asked him, “Is the child still here?” When she asked this question, Qiao Jiusheng was especially nervous. After asking, she stared at Fang Yusheng even more intently.
She would not let go of any reaction from Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng smiled.
His smile was very beautiful, and it also gave Qiao Jiusheng’s uneasy heart a place to rest.
Fang Yusheng picked up Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and slowly placed it on her abdomen. He told her solemnly, “Ah Sheng, the child is still here. You’re fine too.”
Qiao Jiusheng remained silent.
Her palm touched her bulging abdomen. After confirming that the child was really still there, Qiao Jiusheng heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great!” At this moment, the sharp-tongued Qiao Jiusheng could not find a word to describe her current mood.
It was a secret joy of regaining something she had lost. Those who had not experienced the pain of almost losing their child would not understand her current state of mind.
She thought that she would not be able to keep the child. When Qiao Jiusheng was pushed into the emergency room, she actually did not have much hope. However, in order not to let Fang Yusheng suffer too much, she did not dare to tell him the fear in her heart and had to comfort him instead.
Fortunately, the child was fine.
At this moment, the sky was still dark. Fang Yusheng had yet to change his clothes and was still wearing the clothes he wore during the day. He took off his windbreaker and the sweater inside was stained with some blood. He washed his hands, but the blood on his sleeves could not be washed away. Fang Yusheng’s fingers lifted his bloodstained sleeves and looked at his wrist.w.a.tch. He said to Qiao Jiusheng, “It’s only four o’clock.”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “Then it will still be a while before dawn.”
With that, Qiao Jiusheng frowned.
Fang Yusheng asked her, “Does your stomach or legs hurt?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I think I’m still bleeding.” She looked a little fl.u.s.tered.
She was still bleeding. This child…
“Wei Shuyi said that it’s normal. It’ll be fine after tonight. This is the residual blood being discharged.”
Fang Yusheng would not lie to her about such things. Hearing his words, Qiao Jiusheng was relieved. “My leg hurts.” She slowly raised her hand and touched her right leg, touching the bandage. Qiao Jiusheng wanted to cry. She said, “When I was in a car accident that year, this leg was also seriously injured. Later on, when I met you, you whipped me a few times and also injured this leg.”
She laughed self-deprecatingly at Fang Yusheng and teased herself, “Could it be that this leg wants to break up with me so much?”
Fang Yusheng’s face darkened and he quickly slapped her mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Seeing the nervousness and displeasure in Fang Yusheng’s eyes, Qiao Jiusheng stopped talking.
“Is it painful?”
Fang Yusheng got up from the bed. After Lisa and Chi Baoguang sent the children back, they sent them toiletries and clothes. Fang Yusheng found slippers, put them on, and walked to the other side of Qiao Jiusheng. He lifted the blanket and looked at Qiao Jiusheng’s thigh.
The bandage was wrapped around her wound, and the tattoo of the Monk and Rose was covered a little.
Fang Yusheng’s fingers landed on the red bandage, his eyes filled with heartache.
It was said that it was better for a pregnant woman to lie down. Qiao Jiusheng was injured and it was not convenient for her to lie on her side, so she lay flat. Naturally, she saw Fang Yusheng’s expression. She could tell that Fang Yusheng’s heart was aching for her. Her wound was clearly very painful, but at this moment, she did not feel that it was unbearable.
She told Fang Yusheng, “Don’t frown. It’s nothing. I’m fine.” When she was reborn in the car accident, her injuries were even worse than this time. This time, she was afraid because she was pregnant. It was not hard to say how unbearable the gunshot wound on her leg was.
Fang Yusheng knew that Qiao Jiusheng had always been a patient person. He had heard from Wei Shuyi that when Qiao Jiusheng found him back then, she had just finished her surgery. He had heard that when she was performing the surgery, anesthesia was not very effective on her. The fact that she could endure the surgery while being conscious meant that she could tolerate what ordinary people could not.
However, she was also born with flesh. How could she not be in pain? She just had to endure it.
“You have a baby in your stomach. I can’t give you some medicine. Ah Sheng, you can only endure it.” When he said this, Fang Yusheng’s heart was in pain. He wanted to bear all the pain for Qiao Jiusheng, but he could not.
He could only watch as she felt terrible. He could only watch from the side and could not share the burden.
Qiao Jiusheng waved her hand elegantly. “It’s a small matter. I can tolerate it.”
Fang Yusheng turned his head and looked elsewhere with a complicated expression.
Qiao Jiusheng knew that he was feeling terrible and did not want to continue this topic, so she changed the topic. “Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”
“Thank me for what?” Fang Yusheng found Qiao Jiusheng’s words baffling.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “If you hadn’t forgotten to take your wallet, I might have…” The word ‘death’ was already on her lips when Fang Yusheng suddenly glared at her fiercely. Receiving his warning gaze, Qiao Jiusheng pursed her lips and swallowed the rest of her words. She was silent for a moment before saying,” We’re lucky. ”
Fang Yusheng did not say anything and sat down by her bed.
“The other party should be coming for me,” Fang Yusheng suddenly said.
Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. The other party is clearly trying to kill me, not you.”
Fang Yusheng chuckled as if he was mocking something.
“What are you laughing at?” Qiao Jiusheng glanced at him.
Fang Yusheng stared at Qiao Jiusheng, his gaze so deep that Qiao Jiusheng found it difficult to breathe. Fang Yusheng said, “The other party is so cunning. It’s nothing to know that he killed me. Killing you is the greatest revenge on me.”
Qiao Jiusheng stopped talking.
Fang Yusheng meant that Qiao Jiusheng was someone more important than his life. Killing her was even more ruthless than killing him directly.
