Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 137 Nearly Lost Her

Father Lee’s imagination ran wild seeing everyone expression. He fell to the floor with a thud on his knees and started prostrating on the ground knocking his head on the ground a few times, he kept muttering, “Yu Ling, I have failed. I have failed.”

The noise he made drew the attentions of others. Jade was first to realised a weary looking Father Lee, the glass shard no longer in his eye and was replaced by an eye patch. His leg was bandaged up nicely but now has blood seeping out slowly, likely he had pulled a stitch when he kneeled down and prostrate. She quickly rushed towards him and kneel alongside with him.

“Father, get up, please, you are hurting yourself. Derek is in the operating theatre for wound washout. He is alive and his hearing is all well but he injured both legs badly, they can’t permanently fix it yet and he is on an external device to keep his bones aligned. He will need a lot of therapy to be able to walk again. He refused to see me just now and I, I.. indirectly caused him to fall from the bed father, the surgeon is very angry and planning on banning me from seeing Derek, boo hoo hoo… Father, it’s my fault now he has to go for another operation. Boo hoo hoo.. Sob sob..”Jade spoke with such sadness.

April couldn’t help but shivered when the surgeon was mentioned. He was an elderly man but had an aura of a young person with power, he walked proud with a straight back and had a stern face. He came in shouting when he heard the patient he just operated fell down. If it wasn’t for the guards protecting Jade, Jade might have suffered a beating from the man.

Father Lee was stunned silly for a moment, Derek is still alive and his daughter in law had caused a havoc because of his silly son who loves to suffer on his own. Stupid son of his, when he comes out, I will deliver justice on Jade’s behalf, if not I’m not Lee Han Ting. He then coaxed the crying Jade. Finally, she stopped crying and fell asleep. All the crying and the worrying is taking a toll on her pregnant body. Commander Mak prepared lodgings for everyone and told April to rest because of her pregnancy, April did not hesitate to leave because she knew her sister has Uncle Lee to lean on and is in good hands.

Commader Mak did not ordered Jade to rest because knowing her stubborn nature she would wait till she gets to meet Derek. That brat is lucky to marry someone like her. After an hour or so, Derek was finally wheeled out from the operating theatre. He was still under sedation. Jade was still sleeping when he came out and Father Lee did not have the heart to wake her up just yet since Derek was still pretty much sedated. This time, he ordered the guards to carry her into Derek’s Room and laid her on the Murphy bed available in the VIP suite. He would not give his son a chance to chase his daughter in law away.

The moment Derek awaken, he started searching for a figure he missed dearly and nearly lost, he panicked because he could not see her around. Father Lee was amused by his son’s reaction. Derek did not even realise that Father Lee was in the room with him.

“She is not here. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see her, and now she had left, so are you happy now?” Father Lee decided to punish Derek for his daughter in law earlier distraught.

Derek kept silent and refused to talk, it was like he returned to the day his mother passed away. He cried silently. Father Lee approached him and took his hands. Derek was surprised by his father’s action, he stared at the old man only to realise that his father had sustained some injuries.

“Father, sorry your son is useless, I failed to protect you, my marriage, and myself. Your eye…” his words trailed off as he touched his father’s face and then it just dropped to his side. His voice was so hoarse and barely audible.

“Son, it was Father who failed you, this mess started from me, if I had dealt with my brother years ago, this would not have happened. I am grateful to still be alive despite blind in an eye, you should be grateful to be alive as well. This time, you are no longer the same ten years old boy, father was a fool back then, to let you heal emotionally alone, this time, you have me, plus you are a husband and a future father yourself. What matters now is being alive, because if you are dead, you can no longer enjoy the presence of the living”, said Father Lee.

Derek hung his head low filled with regrets. Jade is truly gone now, what is the point on living. Jade who just came out from the bathroom was stunned to see Derek looking so dejected. She rushed over nearly tripping, luckily a male nurse was walking in managed to held on to her to stabilise her and avoid her from falling. Derek looked up to see the commotion, his eyes almost popped out for two reasons, one his wife is still here, she had not left, he nearly lost her forever, seeing her standing there soothe his heart a little, number two, a good looking male nurse was holding her arm. Father Lee was enjoying himself at the side, had a smirk on his face.

“Madam, please do be careful, it is advisable not to run when heavily pregnant.” Said the male nurse politely and he quickly release his hand. He wanted to escape from the room fast, he could feel a murderous aura emitting from the guy on the bed, if gaze could kill, this gaze would definitely be one of it. Father Lee slapped the back of his son’s head and told him to cut it out and be thankful the nurse had intervene or else Jade might have fallen. Even if the nurse wasn’t around, the hidden guards who have stepped in to assist.

Jade was patting her chest from the near miss, why is it when it comes to Derek, she becomes a klutz? She focused her gaze on the man on the bed and coincidentally their eyes met. Everyone else retreated tactfully because they guessed this two need to talk privately to sort out their situation.

The nurse who came in to take Derek’s vital signs decided to give this two a moment, seeing the patient appeared well and not in pain, well, he appear to be in a different kind of pain.
