Chapter 2 : Mom

Yue Li Lian’s eyes twitched as she heard him.’ Husband?! What husband?... Am I dreaming? I don’t think I know him...? Wait...Did I possibly forget something?’ she thought. Li Lian’s eyes froze at the man’s face, "Husband? W-Was I married? Did I forget something...?" Hearing the word ’Husband’ from Li Lian, the man’s cold face melted into a warm smile. Seeing his warm smile, Li Lian felt her heart tighten and clutched her chest in reflex. Her heart was filled with a warm and fluffy, cloud-like feeling. As if she had forgotten something, Li Lian suddenly stood up again from her bed and exclaimed. "Ah! My mom!". But because her body was still weak, especially her legs, Li Lian stumbled as she lost her balance. The man frowned in worry at the scene and held her hand to support her body. He made her sit down again on the bed with eyes filled with worry. "Mrs. Yue...Your mom is alright now. You were in a coma, it has been a year since the accident," He explains what happened in the past year slowly. ’I was in a coma for a year?!’ Li Lian’s expression turned dark as he heard him. "Like you, your mom is in a coma... However, in your case...The wound in your head was far worse, and if you were" The man stops his words, " his expression turned darker than black. Li Lian could see his hand had begun to tremble. "-If you had taken a second longer, you would have...died." He starts to shudder at his last word. Li Lian looked at the man in front of her. She could feel the deep sorrow from the man...sorrow and sadness... She understood instantly just how worried the man was, but she had never seen him before, and she didn’t remember him at all. Li Lian wanted to ask more questions about how he became her husband and who he is. Her mind was nearly filled with curiosity about this man. But she was more worried about her mother, so she stopped asking him questions and decided to ask him later after she checked on her mom. "How is my mom’s condition? Can you take me to my mom? I need to see her." "Okay, wait here for a bit, I will take you to her." After a while, a nurse knocked on the door and brought a wheelchair for Li Lian. The man carried Li Lian on his arm and put her slowly into the wheelchair. He holds her very carefully and gently, although his look was cold and expressionless, the way he treated her was utterly the opposite of how he looked. The man pushes the wheelchair carefully so she will not feel uncomfortable. Li Lian could feel his gentleness in the way he treated her, and each of his movements felt very tender. Li Lian looked around, and her eyes stopped at the hospital’s bulletin. ’Imperial Hospital’, her eyes widened when she saw it. TheImperiall Hospital is the most distinguished hospital in China, and most of the doctors in this hospital graduated from famous universities. Only distinguished cooperation people and high-ranking military people could enter this hospital. ’Except they’re filthy rich or they’re a high-ranking military people, how could I be here? Now that I think about it, my room is unusually big and the room interior was very elegant, it was a beautiful room that doesn’t look like a hospital room...’ Li Lian was absorbed in thinking, and without knowing, she had arrived at a hospital room. " We arrive, " said the man. Li Lian looked at the man as he opened the door with his left hand and a golden watch on his right wrist. ’So he’s left-handed,h u h’ unintentional,y Li Likepteep looked at the man’s movement and took interest in every little movement he made, and for some reason, her heart was unusually loud... When the door was open, Li Lian’s eyes fell on a woman in her 30s who slept peacefully on the hospital bed. Li Lian’s eyes were locked on her mother’s sleeping figure; unlike her mother’s usually bright and cheerful expression, she looked extremely fragile and thin. Looking at the sight of her weak mother. Unknowingly, Li Lian’s eyes turned red, and tears dripped down from her eyes as they fell to her peach-colored cheek. "M..Mom.." Li Lian sobbed with tears that couldn’t be stopped.
