Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1497: 1496 will definitely wake up

At noon, when An Lin and Mom An arrived at the hospital, Father Qin had just finished surgery and was wheeled into the intensive care unit.

Qin Mu, his mother, and Gu Kai were all in the attending doctor’s office.

Dad An and two other visiting officers were talking in the corridor. When they saw them rushing in, they briefly informed them about Father Qin’s condition.

“I’ll go to the office to find Ah Mu.”

An Lin arrived outside the office of the attending doctor, just in time to see Qin Mu and others coming out. Seeing her, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes, “An Lin, why are you back?”

An Lin glanced over him, looking past him to his mother whose eyes were red and swollen, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly, “Mom.”

“An Lin, Ah Mu said he didn’t tell you, so why are you back too?”

Qin Mu’s mother had evidently cried too much earlier, her voice was a bit hoarse, and the exhaustion in her expression reminded An Lin of the time when Qin Mu followed Wen Ran off a cliff.

His mother was just like this, crying her days away.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward, gently holding Mother Qin’s hand, and comforted, “Mom, don’t be sad, my dad will definitely wake up.”

“Yes, I also believe he’ll definitely wake up.”

Mother Qin said, tears uncontrollably sliding down, because of excessive blood loss, and the bullet being too close to the heart, although the bullet was removed, when Father Qin would wake up was unknown.

This result was sad, yet for Mother Qin, it was a kind of hope.

At least, Father Qin still had a chance to wake up, which was a thousand times better than when she received the call saying he was injured and in critical condition.

An Lin led Mother Qin a few steps away, taking out tissues to wipe her tears. Nearby, Qin Mu quietly watched An Lin, and only after she finished wiping his mother’s tears did he say, “An Lin, accompany mom back home, eat something first. I’ll stay here.”

“Okay.”

An Lin nodded, her voice gentle and calm.

At such a time, of course she would not be angry with Qin Mu, pursing her lips, she again said to Mother Qin, “Mom, let’s go home first.”

“Mom, you go back first, dad’s condition has stabilized, staying here with too many people is of no use.”

After An Lin and Mother Qin left, Qin Mu and Gu Kai went to the smoking area. Each lit a cigarette, taking a couple of heavy drags, exhaling smoke rings as if to expel the heaviness in their hearts.

“Ah Kai, what are the chances of my dad waking up?”

Although Professor Cheng had mentioned it earlier in the office, he still wanted to hear what Gu Kai had to say.

Gu Kai pursed his thin lips, his voice low and calm in the silent smoking area, “Ah Mu, you have to believe that Uncle Qin will definitely wake up. He’s not an ordinary man; he has incomparable willpower. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on.”

A trace of deep pain flashed in Qin Mu’s eyes.

He lowered his head again, taking a drag of the cigarette, his handsome facial features stained with a layer of stern coldness, a sharp ruthlessness flickering deep within his dark pupils.

The phone rang, and he stubbed out the cigarette he had only taken a few drags from, throwing it into the trash can, and with clearly defined fingers, he pressed the answer key, “Hey, Mo Xiuchen.”

“Ah Mu, how is Uncle Qin’s condition, has the surgery been done?”

On the other end, Mo Xiuchen’s voice came low and concerned. Qin Mu collected his emotions and calmly replied, “The surgery was very successful, but he had lost a lot of blood earlier…”

“I’ve booked a flight for six in the evening.”

“Mo Xiuchen, don’t come, my dad hasn’t woken up yet, and coming here won’t be of any use. I can’t go back to the company temporarily, focus on the company for now. Here, Ah Kai won’t be returning temporarily.”

Qin Mu glanced at Gu Kai beside him, and the latter nodded.

On the other end, sitting in his office chair, Mo Xiuchen hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Alright, then I won’t come over for now. When Uncle Qin wakes up, I’ll come. If anything happens, call immediately.”

As a good brother, when the other needs help, Mo Xiuchen is sure to do his best to assist.

“I will.”

Qin Mu’s voice carried a hint of warmth, and though he didn’t say a word of thanks, his heart was warm and touched.

After finishing the call, Qin Mu had someone take Gu Kai to eat, while he stayed at the hospital.

Standing outside the ward, he watched Father Qin in the ward for a while before his phone rang, and he stepped away to answer it.

It was a call from An Lin, saying she’d deliver food later. Qin Mu told her that Ah Kai had already gone out to eat, and asked her to bring less.

An Lin arrived quickly, bringing portions for two people.

“Why did you bring so much, didn’t you eat?” At the table in the lounge, Qin Mu frowned as he saw An Lin take out the food.

An Lin pursed her lips, speaking softly, “I ate some with mom at home; she’s really upset, so I comforted her for a while.”

“So, you didn’t eat either.”

Qin Mu’s words were no longer a question but a statement of fact.

Moreover, a trace of softness emerged in his gaze towards An Lin, and his heart was warmed. Even though An Lin wouldn’t forgive him because of the recording, once something happened, she still cared about him.

An Lin slightly curved her lips, a smile appearing at the corners, and she handed the bowl of food she had prepared to Qin Mu, “Eat quickly, with dad’s accident, mom is very sad, and all the forthcoming matters are on your shoulders, so eat more.”

“Mm.”

Qin Mu nodded, picking up the chopsticks and eating intently.

While eating, Qin Mu also spoke to An Lin about Father Qin’s condition. An Lin had heard some reasons from her father about the injury; Qin Mu spoke of the post-surgery situation.

“An Lin, these days, please take the trouble to accompany mom more, don’t let her come to the hospital in the afternoon, I’ll manage here.”

“How can you alone handle it? Let’s do this, you go back to sleep later, and come back at night to relieve me.”

An Lin knew that if she offered to come at night to relieve him, he would certainly refuse, so she proactively suggested staying in the afternoon to let him return.

“No need, you being here won’t help. There’s no knowing when dad will wake up.”

“You alone can’t do it either.” Even if she can’t help, even if no one knows when Father Qin will wake up, someone needs to be there.

Qin Mu has no siblings, so An Lin, as his wife, naturally has to share the burden for him at such a time.

“Of course, it’s not just me. Rest assured, someone will be here, I don’t need you.” Qin Mu curved his lips, offering a somewhat forced smile.

With this, he placed a piece of meat into her bowl, “Don’t just eat rice, there’s so much food, it’d be a waste if I can’t finish it alone.”

An Lin’s eyes flickered, lowering her gaze, and she silently ate the meat.

Qin Mu looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and softly said, “An Lin…”

An Lin heard the hesitation in his words and looked up at him.
