Spare Me, Cold Uncle - C38

Chapter 38 – Mute with a slight tremble

Suddenly, a long arm wrapped around Shui Qingmo’s small body, and then pressed tightly against the man’s chest, the green stubble sticking on Shui Qingmo’s forehead, “Don’t be afraid, she will be fine, and you will be fine as well.”

This sound was like a promise, but why did his voice not only hoarse but also slightly trembling? Only then did she remember that he was sick today, and this look before even shaving proved how anxious he had come over. “Have you gotten better from the cold?”

“I’m fine.” Feeling that her mood had finally stabilized, he stroked her head with his large hand. “It’s my fault. I should have let her go home long ago, but she said …”

“I don’t want to hear the name Ouyang Lanlan.” She didn’t like it, really didn’t like it. As she sobbed, she leaned against his shoulder, and for some reason, the feeling of the sky falling down, where she was about to lose her mother, was slowly dissipating.

“Alright.” Mei Mutian no longer spoke, he only embraced her quietly. The sickroom was quiet, with the faint sounds of two people’s breathing and Shui Qingmo’s weeping.

“Aiya, apologies …” Suddenly, the voice of the nurse who reported Shui Qiugui’s condition to Shui Qingmo sounded. Shui Qingmo finally regained her senses, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and untied herself from Mei Mutian’s embrace in embarrassment. This time, it was her who wanted to say something but was unable to.

On the other hand, Mei Mutian was calm and collected, “Everything is normal, but occasionally there are signs of increased blood pressure.”

His magnetic male voice, combined with a calm expression, dispelled the awkward feeling in that moment. The nurse walked over and carefully checked Shui Qiugui’s indicators, and then said: “Tonight is very important, perhaps I’ll have to trouble the family to keep watch.”

“Sure, I’m fine with that.” Shui Qingmo finally opened his mouth.

“You don’t have to go to class tomorrow?” Mei Mutian questioned as he asked. Even in a place like a hospital room, with his chin full of green stubble, it was hard to hide the elegance hidden deep in his bones.

“Tomorrow weekend.” She had originally planned to go through the discharge procedures for her mother tomorrow and even planned to go back to pack a dumpling to celebrate her mother’s release from the hospital. Furthermore, the doctors had already arranged for her to be discharged today.

“Alright.” Mei Mutian did not say anything else, but it was clear that he did not have any intention of leaving.

The nurse went out, leaving him and his mother alone in the intensive care unit.

“Qingmo, you’re finally back. Why didn’t you pick up the phone when I called you?” Aunt Meng who went to buy stuff came back, the woman in her fifties looked like she had aged a dozen years, her face was haggard.

Shui Qingmo pursed her lips, she did not want others to worry about her, and this was one of the reasons why she did not want Ah Gan to come and visit her mother. If Ah Gan came and found Ah Gan, he would be able to guess what she was doing now, “Aunt Meng, I forgot to bring my phone when I went to the library to read.”

After he finished lying, Shui Qingmo felt Mei Mutian’s gaze on him, he thought he wanted to say something, but he did not say anything, only until Aunt Meng chattered for half an hour before she finally left and gave his mother to Mei Mutian. He then said to Shui Qingmo in a low voice: “You did not go to the library tonight.” He had sent people to search every nook and cranny of the Tian Zhong, he had only searched through every inch of the entire Tian Zhong, but he couldn’t find her.

As the night gradually deepened, the nurse on duty came in every hour to check on Shui Qiugui’s condition. However, Shui Qiugui was still peacefully sleeping, with not the slightest sign of waking up.

The infusion continued.

Shui Qingmo poured out the urine from the catheter, washed her hands and sat on the chair to hold onto her mother’s hand. She had been doing this the entire time tonight, so only by holding onto her mother’s hand would she be able to relax a little.

Mei Mutian went out. She did not ask him what he was going to do nor did he say anything.

The ward was extremely quiet. Shui Qingmo had been holding on because she was worried about her mother, but now, she leaned back in her chair and unknowingly fell asleep.

After a few minutes, Mei Mutian snuck in the door. The scent of tobacco mixed with a masculine scent quietly swept over Shui Qingmo’s world, and a blanket was placed over her. He gently rose to his feet, and Mei Mutian’s Eye Color shivered, then gently opened the front of Shui Qingmo’s clothes with his long fingers, and the clumps of bruises were so clear, that he once again lifted her sleeves, and the same purple color, and deeply furrowed his brows. He did not speak.

She opened her eyes for five seconds before she realised that she was accompanying her mother in the Intensive Care Unit. When she turned her head, the man was sitting quietly on the chair that she had sat on earlier, while she was sleeping on the sickbed beside her. He was covered with a thin blanket.

“Mu Tian, how is my mother? Did she ever wake up? ” Jumping onto the floor barefooted, he arrived beside Mei Mutian in two steps.

“Why did you wake up so early?” The man raised his head and looked over. He still had a face full of stubble, and it seemed as if he had aged quite a bit. Moreover, there was even a hint of dejection mixed within, making him look very manly.

“You haven’t slept?”

“Yesterday, I slept for a day, I wasn’t sleepy.”

She bit her lip. “Go to sleep. I’ll be watching my mother.”

“Qingmo, I want to transfer the academy to her.”

“Transfer? “What do you mean?”

“Although the medical treatment in River City is not bad, maybe in another hospital, the situation would be better.”

“No, I don’t want to leave my mother.” Shui Qingmo shook her head like a rattle drum. If her mother wanted to go somewhere else, she would have to separate from her mother.

“The provincial capital’s First Hospital isn’t that far from River City. As long as you miss your mother, you’ll arrive after driving for two hours.”

“But I can’t drive.”

“I can send you off, or you can learn how to drive by yourself, and that Bu Jiadi can be considered as my temporary loan to you for now.”

“Bu Jiadi? “You want to lend it to me?” Ten million yuan? With his relationship with her, he had no reason to lend it to her.

Hehe, since you got the chance to meet it, it proves that you and it are fated to be together, furthermore, I am just borrowing it from you, so when your mother gets well and returns to the River City, I will still take back the car.

His words seemed to make sense, but Shui Qingmo still shook his head, “If you don’t have a cheap car, you can just lend me one.”
