Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 129
The figure he called was sitting on the bed while leaning his back. He did not look up or spared a glance for him. One of his eye wrapped in bandages. His torso was full of blisters and tearing and … Ling Huansheng stared fearfully the thin blanket which covering Ling Feng’s legs looked out of balance. He looked back at his brother’s face. His one fine eye staring blankly.
“He has been like this since he woke up a week ago.”
Unexpectedly the woman in the room spoke. Either to him or to his father.
“At that time, we heard a big bang and gunfire in our western region. When we arrived at the scene, we found several people lying with gunshot wounds and some destroyed by grenades. Within ten people we found, only he that we could save.”
The room fell into silence. “He … departed with his team.” Ling Tian’s voice sounded far away.
“So why does he look like that?” Ling Huansheng averted his eyes. He was unable to see Ling Feng’s current state.
“I’m sorry … maybe it’s also my fault. After the operation, he asked what happened. I tried to explain it as smoothly as possible. However, he fell into shock and when he woke up, he were already like this.”
“He doesn’t even respond to me.” Ling Tian wiped his face with his hands and sat down.
“I moved him here so he could calm himself.”
Mr. Tanaka and Liu Chen, who had been trailing behind, quietly withdrew. They were waiting outside, feeling this was not their place to interfere. Ling Huansheng strengthened his heart and sat next to him. He looked back at the woman at the end of the bed.
“Are you a doctor?”
She didn’t look like a doctor. His feelings also say this woman was not an ordinary woman. He caught a surprised expression as Mr. Tanaka looked at this woman.
The woman tilted her head slightly. She stared back at Ling Huansheng. “… and who are you?”
Ling Huansheng held his gaze as if he wanted to see the motives behind her interference here.
“Sorry … thank you in advance for saving Feng Ge. My name is Ling Huansheng, his younger brother.”
She murmured, oh, then bit her lip as if what she wanted to say next was very difficult. “It’s a relief that his family has found him. They don’t have a single thing to identify themselves …”
Of course the military in charge leaves behind everything that can get others to track them down when they get secret mission. Ling Tian swore at his head.
“… but … if you intend to bring him home, can you wait for a few days?”
Ling Tian and Ling Huansheng looked at her. She hurriedly added, with red cheeks. “Oh, I just want to observe him a few days before making sure he’s fine.”
Ling Huansheng looked at his father, waiting for his decision before expressing his opinion.
Ling Tian nodded. “Two days. After that we will take him and care for him in our land.”
“Well … two days are enough …”
Two days were enough to make Ling Huansheng realize this woman had special feelings for his brother. How come? Ling Huansheng saw how she treated Ling Feng with affection. She fed him and keep talking to him, even though Ling Feng didn’t answer.
Ling Huansheng was amazed, seeing how this woman painstakingly took care of Ling Feng. If only this woman knew his brother’s attitude, she would have run away.
He felt a little frustrated because in these two days there had been no significant progress. After watching Ling Feng finish his lunch, Ling Huansheng dropped his words.
“Feng Ge … Yueyue was kidnapped.”
“Ah…”
Ling Feng who showed nothing since he arrived there responded. His eyes searched for Ling Huansheng. The woman looked at Ling Huansheng curiously. Her forehead slightly wrinkled at the name mentioned. Ling Huansheng had no intention of explaining even though the look on the woman’s face was a misunderstanding.
“Zou Ci was seriously injured when it happened. And now he is still fighting between life and death in the hospital.”
Ling Feng’s eyes finally found his eyes. His body stiffened.
“…What?”
Ling Huansheng stood up and approached him. “Let’s go back. I’ll tell you on the way.”
Ling Feng looked at him longer. Then gradually averted his eyes. “No…”
“Huang Ge was attacked while in the hospital.” Ling Huansheng keep brought his news up. Ling Feng should immediately return to his old self.
“…What?”
“I was attacked while on my way here.”
Ling Feng observed his brother’s body. “You are fine.”
“Yeah … fortunately I’m not alone. But Yueyue and Huang Ge were attacked when they were alone.”
The glimpse of his two injured siblings made his aching heart ache.
“You must pull yourself together and face it. We will help you.” Ling Huansheng held his shoulders.
“How? How can I do it? I lost all five of my team members! How could only I be saved?!” Ling Feng finally blew up his feelings. He gripped Ling Huansheng’s arm. His unbandaged eyes began to turn red. The veins on his arms protrude. Ling Huansheng kept his voice from coming out so that he would not show the pain of Ling Feng’s strong grip.
“THEY DIED BECAUSE OF MEE!!! What should I say to their families who are waiting? That they died on a suicide mission? Because they followed their boss’s ridiculous orders?” Ling Huansheng remained silent. He did not know what to do. His brothers who have always been strong, however their condition, now breaking down. Not only his body, but his mental too. He couldn’t trace his proud and outstanding feeling anymore from him.
“Feng ge …”
“What should I do …? Ughhk …”
His tears slowly fell down like a waterfall. Ling Huansheng could only hug him silently.
