My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 468 449

Li Lian’s eyes at once went shaky. She hated when she had to hear news of her loved one from others as it always turn to where she found out how her family members are in danger.milk Jun Wei took in her expression and immediately held her hands. If one thing he was to hate the most in the entire world is that he cannot stop the misery and pain Li Lian felt but he knew lying or pushing the issue to her would only further cause her pain which Li Jun Wei knew would make her suffer more.

“Let’s get back to our room and take a seat,” and Li Lian nodded. Li Jun Wei signaled Violet to leave for now and resume her report. Vacating to the bedroom, Li Lian took seat on the bed and she graced herself for what to come.

“Who are we talking about?” she asked, trying to be tough when she speak but her worry and anxiety could be heard.

“Your grandfather. I talked with Shun and Shin this afternoon and they told me that by chance they had overheard the Old Master and Kei’s discussion. There they heard that grandfather is ill,” Li Jun Wei had spoken slowly and it hurt his heart to see how Li Lian’s expression turned from worry to shock and sadness. It was like her not to let tears to dribble from her eyes but the fear didn’t stop causing her to cry.

“What illness is it? Is he in a critical state?” Li Lian questioned, finding the cure was the best option, “Is there any medicine to heal him?”

Li Jun Wei placed his hand over her back, slowly saying, “It’s a lung illness. Apparently your grandfather had the illness for years and three weeks ago he fell to a sleep longer than two days.”

“Oh god,” Li Lian closed her eyes as she whispered, her body felt weak and she was thankful she wasn’t standing now or else her knees would go weak and she would slumped on the floor. “What about the medicine?” Li Lian looked at him with hope and he hated to destroy her hope as it was the same as stabbing his heart with blade. When Li Jun Wei shook his head, Li Lian leaned forward, burying her face on his chest.

Due to the extreme shock, tears didn’t materialize from her eyes, but the fear and surprise cause her hands that clutched over Li Jun Wei’s clothes tremble like leaves. “Why didn’t grandfather tell me this? Is it because he didn’t want to worry me?”

“He must have thought so,” Li Jun Wei answered, comforting Li Lian by hugging her closer.

“I don’t understand. H-He should have told me this and I would have…” Li Lian drawled her words and suddenly a look of startle came on her face when something dawned in her. She looked up to meet Li Jun Wei’s eyes, “I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Is this why grandfather agreed for me to leave the family? But I don’t want that. I don’t want to be separated with him,” Li Lian’s words stuttered as she was rattled by the news. Fear of losing another person haunt her mind. “I’m so stupid, How can I not notice grandfather’s pain?” Li Lian pursed her lips. It had been years since the Old Master had the illness yet it was only now did she know about his illness. How could she be occupied by many things that she overlook the closest people around her?

“You are not going to separate from him,” Li Jun Wei answered, bringing her attention. Even though tears didn’t dribble from the corner of her eyes, his thumb went to brush under her eyes, “What do you want to do Li Lian?” Li Jun Wei questioned while looking back at her eyes, “I know there are many things that you wish to do for your grandfather but tell me what you want the most right now.”

“And what will you do?” Li Lian questioned, her delicate voice always brought him happiness but now it cause him to feel pain on her behalf.

“I will grant all your wish. Whether it’s to save him or find any cure for him. All you need is to tell me the words. For you I will do anything even if it means I would have to turn myself into a demon,” Li Jun Wei showed her a smile at the end of his words. “That’s why tell me what you wish now.”

Li Lian’s lips gape, words try to fix itself on her lips but she couldn’t voice out her wishes as there were many that she wished for, “I wish for him to be alright and safe. I also wish to meet him,” and after telling what she wishes for, the dam of her tears finally broke, letting clear droplets to trickle over her pink cheeks.

“Okay,” Li Jun Wei answered, he rounded his hand over the back of Li Lian’s head, giving her his most tender voice that would put her at ease, “If that is what you wish, I will do everything I could to help your grandfather. Including meeting him and for that to happen we will need to finish the people who have been hunting for your life once and for all,” said Li Jun Wei; his eyes that were calm and gentle while pacifying Li Lian’s mind was poured with touches of evilness as he spoke his last sentence. “Be at ease, Li Lian. Everything will be alright.”

Li Jun Wei’s words had always work like magic. When Li Lian felt at her lowest level, his words would be enough to drive her back with motivation and hope. She rounded her hand on his neck, pulling him closer, “I’m a little scared,” she whispered, it was her first time exposing her fear and anxiety about the future that raise again upon hearing her grandfather illness.

First it was her foster mother who she had regarded as a very close older sister, then it was her grandmother and now her grandfather. People around her get hurt and Li Lian felt fear for it. Li Jun Wei could understand her pain if he would have been on her shoes, he knew he would feel as much anxious of the future as she did.

“I’m here, nothing will come to hurt you or people around us as long as I am with you and I won’t leave you. Stay strong Li Lian, everything is okay,” and Li Lian nodded, she let her tears continue to drizzle her face. Everyone had a side in the, they didn’t want to show. After the accident Li Lian hated showing herself as weak as it reminded her of what happened when she is weak; she will lose people dear to her and die.

Li Jun Wei was the only place for her to feel calm and at most serene. She lifted her face when her tears stopped and pulling his neck with her hands that she circled around his neck, Li Lian leaned forward for a kiss. After shedding tears, Li Lian who didn’t want to continue and wallow in sadness said, “You are my knight in shining armor.”

Li Jun Wei chuckled, “And my princess, what would you like me to do for you now?”

“Tell me more about what happened in Japan,” Li Lian asked, brushing away her sadness for now. Li Jun Wei had always admired her strong self that was even stronger than him in many occasion. It was why Li Lian had always pulled him in, reminding him of that day when they first meet. It is a shame Li Lian doesn’t remember it now, but he knew she would soon.
