Chapter 697: The Man Lowered His Head to Kiss Her Fingers, His Hoa.r.s.e Voice Low And Gentle
Mo Jingshen immediately threw the cell phone aside and held Ji Nuan’s hand firmly. Then he felt the faint movement of her fingers in his palm.
He hadn’t hung up and Atuta’s adoptive father’s voice rang. “Mr. Control, we can negotiate. Please…”
Mo Jingshen hung up and looked at the woman in bed with her eyes still closed, calling her gently, “Nuan Nuan.”
Ji Nuan’s finger twitched in his palm again. Although her movement was very faint, she was a thousand times better than she had been the other day when she seemed completely unconscious.
Mo Jingshen immediately sent for Dr. Wendell.
Dr. Wendell soon arrived, gave her another series of tests, and then nodded in relief. “Miss Ji’s life force and willpower are very so strong. She has never given up. Fortunately, her injury didn’t cause fatal harm. If she continues to receive treatment and recuperates for a period of time, there will be nothing wrong with her body, nor will there be any sequelae, but she has suffered from a subarachnoid hemorrhage in the brain. Although the operation is very successful, I can’t guarantee that she won’t bleed anymore. It is still impossible to predict in the short term when she will wake up, but her body has regained consciousness. Even if she does not wake up, after she recovers to a certain degree, she can be taken out to bask in the sun every day to enhance immunity and adjust her body to a healthy state.”
“What do you mean that it is still impossible to predict in the short term when she will wake up?” Mo Jingshen frowned.
“I mean Miss Ji has to count on herself. When will she wake up and whether there will be sequela after she wakes up? These questions will only be known when she wakes up. I think Dr. Qin has told you that although the subarachnoid hemorrhage in the brain is not fatal, it may compress brain nerves and affect her brain. But still, nothing can be known unless she wakes up.”
Qin Siting did say that her intelligence and brain may be affected and she would also have frequent headaches if the blood in her brain was not absorbed completely.
Now the question was when she would wake up.
After Dr. Wendell left, Mo Jingshen gazed at Ji Nuan’s fingers that had stopped moving and held them again.
After less than a month of suffering, he was already exhausted. But three years ago, Ji Nuan had been waiting for him to wake up for the whole two months, but when he finally woke up, he refused her approach.
He could imagine how desperate and sad she was, but she still tried her best to change his mind.
She must have been hysterically sad back then, although she looked calm on the surface.
For the first time, Mo Jingshen began to wonder if what he had done was really for her good. Now he would rather hold her in his arms after opening his eyes three years ago even at the expense of starting all over again.
The man lowered his head to kiss her fingers, his hoa.r.s.e voice low and gentle. “It’s all my fault.”
——
A month later, a flight from Los Angeles to Hai City landed at Hai City Airport.
Mo Jingshen held Ji Nuan sideways, walked out of the airport, and gently put her in the car. Facing the woman who kept her eyes closed and motionless, he whispered, “Good girl, we’ve arrived home. We’ve been flying for more than ten hours and now we need to go to Qin Siting’s hospital to have an examination first. If everything is ok, we will go back to Yu Garden. I’ve hired Auntie Chen and the other servants again. They will accompany you at Yu Garden.”
He held her in the car. Shen Mu who came to pick them up silently drove out of the airport.
Ji Nuan lay in Mo Jingshen’s arms without any struggle or movement. Although Dr. Wendell said she had regained most of her consciousness several days before they returned to the Hai City, she hadn’t woken up. Her gunshot wound had healed but her internal organs were badly damaged, so she couldn’t do strenuous exercise and needed recuperation for at least another few months.
Gunshot wounds are no laughing matter. Even in western war-torn countries or XI Base, few people could survive being hit in fatal parts of the body by bullets. Ji Nuan was shot in the neck, and it was a miracle indeed for her to survive the gunshot.
Everything took time.
It was not comfortable for Ji Nuan to recuperate in that cold hospital in Los Angeles.
So they chose to go back to Hai City, to her favorite place and keep her close to the people she trusted and loved.
When they arrived at Yu Garden, Auntie Chen and the other servants had been waiting for them. Seeing Mo Jingshen carry Ji Nuan out of the car, they hurried to greet them.
“Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo…” Before Auntie Chen returned to work at Yu Garden, she had asked what had happened to Ji Nuan, and she had been worrying about her since she knew that Ji Nuan was badly injured in Los Angeles and remained in a coma for more than a month.
Now she finally saw her but she was held by Mo Jingshen in his arms and seemed to be unconscious.
Auntie Chen’s eyes immediately turned red. “Madam…”
Mo Jingshen didn’t speak but carried Ji Nuan in.
Yu Garden had completely changed no matter its buildings or interior designs, but now it looked more suitable for the two of them to live than before.
Auntie Chen and the other servants hurriedly followed them in.
Mo Jingshen put Ji Nuan on the sofa and his fingers ran through her long hair.
But she still sat motionless on the sofa. He crouched down in front of her, holding her hand in the palm of his hand.
“Nuan Nuan, we’re home.”
——
After Ji Nuan was taken back to Hai City, Auntie Chen and the servants were taking care of her. Mo Jingshen who hadn’t come to the company for nearly two months finally began to work again.
However, he went home on time every day and didn’t partic.i.p.ate in any social intercourse but entrusted all of them to his subordinates and slept in the same bedroom with Ji Nuan every night. Auntie Chen and the servants fed her on time during the day and Mo Jingshen fed her water regularly and took care of her himself. Although she hadn’t woken up, she was in very good care.
Ji Hongwen and Xiao Zhenjun had both come to visit her but were stopped by Auntie Chen outside Yu Garden. No one was allowed to disturb Ji Nuan without Mo Jingshen’s permit. These days, only Qin Siting could enter Yu Garden from time to time, because as a doctor, he came to examine Ji Nuan’s body to see how she was recovering.
Other than that, no one had a chance to get close to Yu Garden.
