It was around midnight by now. Li Xiaolu and Zhu Qian were s.h.i.+fted into their own ward which was adjacent to each other. They were still unconscious due to the effects of the drug. Zhang Ziyi and Li Yifeng were in Li Xiaolu"s room while Lin Hoaming and Lin Mochen stayed in Zhu Qian"s room. Long Xun was outside the hospital waiting in his car. He very much wanted to see how Li Xiaolu was but he couldn"t muster the courage to go visit her because it was all his fault that she was in that condition right now. Also, there were other people present with her so he knew that he had to wait until midnight to go see her.
While he was waiting in his car, he ordered one of his men to get some information regarding Li Xiaolu"s condition. While his men arrived, Long Xun got the news that Li Xiaolu was alright and fine.
At that moment, he felt that all of the weight was lifted up from his heart. He finally took a breath of relief. Now all he wanted was to go and look at her.

After midnight, Long Xun finally got his chance. He quietly sneaked inside the hospital and walked towards Li Xiaolu"s ward. From the information, he got from his men, Li Xiaolu"s brother and Zhang Ziyi were inside the room.
Zhu Qian was present on the adjacent side. At this moment he didn"t care if she was alive or not. There was complete silence inside the hospital with only a few people around. On reaching Li Xiaolu"s ward, he threw a glance at the adjacent ward where his enemy was residing.
Shaking his head, Long Xun entered Li Xiaolu"s ward. Inside the ward, he saw his queen sleeping quietly. There was an IV tube attached to her right hand while her whole left hand was wrapped in plaster.
Long Xun"s heart ached as he saw her. She looked so pale, so fragile. How could he? He began cursing himself. All of this was because of him.
On the other side of the room, he saw Zhang Ziyi and Li Yifeng sleeping on the couch. He walked towards then carefully and he quickly took out a device from his pocket and placed it on their neck. This was a special device that would make anybody sleep for a little longer without being disturbed by anything or any noise.
After doing that, he walked towards the bed and sat down beside Li Xiaolu. Looking at the pale and fragile face, tears gushed out of his eyes. "I"m sorry...." he cried.
At this moment he couldn"t stop the tears that were coming out of his eyes. It was all his fault. What if something happened to her? He was so close to losing her forever?
Just thinking about that he cried. Isn"t it ironic? He thought that he would never hurt her. But today because of him she is here.
"I"m sorry..." Long Xun as he took Li Xiaolu"s hand and placed it in his hands. Placing a light kiss on her plan, he apologized, "I am so sorry, Xiaolu. Because of me, you are hurt. You know when I was small and when I held you for the first time in my hands, you were so little. That time I made a promise to myself that no matter what happens I will always protect you. No matter what happens I will never hurt."
"But look what happened today? You are hurt. I am so sorry that I failed to keep my promise to you. Will you forgive me? I was so scared when I saw the news of you being in that accident. I was so afraid at the thought of losing you but you are safe. You are fine."
"Thank G.o.d, you are fine." Long Xun smiled but then looking at her arm he frowned, "It must be hurting right? I"m so sorry."
He cried holding Li Xiaolu"s hand. Li Xiaolu who was sleeping on the bed felt that somebody was holding her hand. She could hear the sound of somebody crying. Who was it?
What happened?
Who was crying? Why?
She wanted to look at the person who was crying but she couldn"t open her eyes. She heard that person saying something but then she couldn"t hear what he/she was saying.
Was it Zhehan? Why was he crying? Why couldn"t she open her eyes?
"Zhehan..." She called out in a low voice.
When Long Xun heard Li Xiaolu"s voice he looked to suddenly. "Xiaolu..... are you awake?". Looking at her, he realized that she wasn"t awake. She was calling Zhehan"s name in her dreams.
" Zhehan....."
Li Xiaolu called again. For the first time in his life, Long Xun didn"t feel bad because she was calling Zhang Zhehan"s name. Instead, he was angry at Zhang Zhehan for not being here when Li Xiaolu needed him the most.
What kind of a husband was he?
His wife is in the hospital, calling out his name and he"s nowhere to be seen. Then he suddenly remembered that Zhang Zhehan was on a business trip. And as much as he knew that guy, Long Xun was sure that Zhang Zhehan was on his way back.
Caressing her palm Long Xun comforted, "Xiaolu don"t worry, Zhehan would be arriving here. "
As if Li Xiaolu heard what he said, she didn"t call for Zhang Zhehan again. Long Xun knew that he couldn"t stay for long as the hospital and also the people sleeping who were sleeping on the couch would be soon getting up, so he got up.
"I wish you recover soon and then punish me for hurting you." Long Xun said as he bend down to place a kiss on her forehead. Just as he was about to kiss her forehead, he paused. Taking her hand he placed a kiss on her palm, looked at her sleeping face for a while and then he was gone.
