This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yun Xi's eyes were filled with tears again, but she quickly held them back. She had already experienced life and death separation before. Right now, she was still most worried about Zhou Lin.
This time, it was her turn to protect Zhou Lin!
After Yun Xi tidied up, she walked toward the ward. She tried her best to hide her emotions. She must not add fuel to the fire at this time.
Yun Xi walked to the front of the ward and saw that Zhou Lin was already sitting by the bed. Seeing him pretending to be strong, her heart ached.
“Alright, everyone's exhausted tonight. Go back and sleep! I'll guard this place.” Zhou Lin said.
“Zhou Lin, you've been busy for the whole day. Why don't your brother do it instead? You can go and rest. If it really doesn't work, we can hire a nurse. We don't lack money.” At this moment, Qian Yun's heart ached for Zhou Lin, so she suggested.
“It's okay, sister-in-law. I still want to accompany dad personally.” Zhou Lin declined Qian Yun's good intentions.
When everyone saw that Zhou Lin's heart was so firm, they could only give up on the idea of hiring a nurse and leave the ward one after another.
“Yun Xi, I'll leave this place to you. We'll be leaving first and come back tomorrow morning,” Lin Yu said.
“Alright, don't worry. Go back and rest!” Yun Xi promised Lin Yu.
At this time, Zhou Lin still did not know that Yun Xi was already standing at the door. He was holding the Old Master's hand in a daze and only started to cry after everyone left.
At the door, Yun Xi's heart ached when she saw Zhou Lin's appearance. She secretly blamed herself for not coming earlier and also blamed Zhou Lin for not telling her. She hurriedly walked over and hugged Zhou Lin in her arms.
Zhou Lin was shocked by the sudden hug and temperature. When he realized that it was Yun Xi, he started to cry loudly.
At that moment, the armor he had used to pretend to be strong collapsed in Yun Xi's arms, revealing his original fragile appearance.
He had disguised his emotions for so long, but he did not expect them to be so vulnerable. A mere hug had failed him.
Yun Xi looked at Zhou Lin, who was crying in her arms, and she could not help but cry. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and wet Zhou Lin's white shirt.
“Don't worry, Zhou Lin, I'm here! No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side,” Yun Xi said as she touched Zhou Lin's head.
Zhou Lin did not reply, but he had already stopped crying. He buried his head in Yun Xi's arms, as if he did not want Yun Xi to see him cry.
After saying this, Yun Xi clearly felt Zhou Lin hug her even tighter, so she also hugged Zhou Lin even tighter. To Zhou Lin, Yun Xi's embrace was the place where he felt the most secure.
The two of them hugged each other tightly in the ward, giving each other warmth and courage.
After a long time, Zhou Lin finally raised his head and said to Yun Xi, “Thank you, Xixi. Thank you for being willing to stay with me.”
Yun Xi did not reply. She just looked at Zhou Lin with a gentle expression. Then, she left a kiss on Zhou Lin's forehead. She kissed him very carefully and gently. At this moment, Zhou Lin was her entire world.
“Xixi, you don't blame me?” Zhou Lin opened his mouth and asked.
“Blame you for what?” Yun Xi replied gently.
“Blame me for not telling you about this and not calling you.”
“Why would I blame you? I know you're doing this for my own good and don't want me to worry,” Yun Xi said.
“Xixi, thank you for understanding me.”
“However, next time you can't take everything on your own. Remember to tell me that you can't be the only one protecting me. You have to give me a chance to protect you too, okay, Zhou Lin? Promise me.” Yun Xi lowered her head and looked at Zhou Lin.
“Okay, Xixi, I promise you that I'll tell you the next time something happens. I'm sorry to have made you worry this time.” The two of them hugged each other tightly after they finished speaking.
“Zhou Lin, you must be tired after a long day. Go to the sofa and sleep for a while. I'll stay here.”
Zhou Lin was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes, so he agreed to Yun Xi's words. He went to the sofa next to him and lay down. Yun Xi thoughtfully covered him with a blanket and went to the nurses” counter to call the home phone.
“Sister, how is it?” It was Yun Yang who picked up the phone.
“Yun Yang, everything has been settled here. It's just that the Old Master's condition isn't optimistic. He hasn't woken up yet. Tell our parents not to go to work tomorrow morning and come to the hospital quickly!”
“Okay, sis, I got it. I'll definitely bring dad and mom over early tomorrow.” Then, he hung up the phone.
Immediately after, Yun Xi called Yun Qi to inform him about tomorrow's matters.
“Yun Qi, something happened at home, so I won't be coming to work tomorrow. I'll leave the production to you.”
