Chapter 228 - I Am Glad That You're By My Side Now.
Jin Villa
In the room, Xie Ming was laying on the bed with her eyes closed and hands placed on her stomach.
Her face was pale and sickly and her silky black hair which was now messy and dirty was spread on the pillow.
The doctor injected an antidote in her veins and after ordering the nurse to give her IV, he turned to look at Liwei who was standing and looking at Xie Ming's pale face.
His heart ached when the needle was injected in her veins. It was not that long since she woke up from the coma and again now she had to go through all this pain again.
It was all because of his ignorance. He failed to protect her.
' What's the use of being the most powerful man in the country, when I can't even protect my wife?' he sneered inwardly.
' A mere driver dared to kidnap his wife.'
The doctor came to Liwei and politely said, " Mr. Jin, we have given the antidote of the drug to Mrs. Jin. The drug that man has injected in her blood was very dangerous and fatal and if not treated then she would have lost her life after 24 hours."
" This kind of drug makes people's bodies weak and numb and unconsciousness is the most common effect. It works like a slow poison that comes into effect after 24 hours and can even take their lives."
Liwei's face darkened when he heard the doctor's words. He glanced at Xie Ming's pale face and dry chapped lips.
His heart ached even by imagine that he could have lost her today if they had not found her earlier.
The doctor noticed the glum change in Liwei's expression and consoled him, " But Thankfully, she has been treated early and was now fine. We had given her antidote and also giving her fluids so that she will be hydrated. Also, I have given some medicine. Please don't forget to give them to her."
" She has recently woke up from the coma, so her body is already weak and because of the trauma, her condition has worsened. I recommend that she will be given complete rest for a week. After a week, she needs to come for a check-up."
" When will she wake up?" Liwei asked with a worried expression obvious on his face.
The doctor looked up at him and said,? " We have given her antidote and it also contains sleeping medicine. She is sleeping right now as her body needs immense rest. She should be waking up by tomorrow morning." he said with a light smile.
" But make sure not to give her more stress and try to make her happy so that she would not think about bad things. Also if her mental condition seems unstable then you can also take her to the counselor or therapist because she had suffered great trauma."
" Though nothing major happened but the stress was enormous and some people could obtain serious diseases because of immense pressure and stress. Moreover, Xie Ming has already attempted suicide once so you need to give more attention to her mental health."
Liwie heard and understood every single word that the doctor said and nodded in understanding.
The doctor was right. Xie Ming must have suffered a great deal of stress and trauma because of this incident. In the past, she has already tried to take her life.
He needs to take more care of her. If she is sick than he feels pain in his heart. His heart hurts seeing her on the bed looking pale and sickly.
He never thought his feelings could be this deep for Xie Ming but when he didn't know her whereabouts, he was worried and so many assumptions came in his mind.
The last time when she fell in the swimming pool, he was worried about her but not to the point of breaking down. But this was the moment that seemed like an eternity to him.
Then the butler accompanied the doctor downstairs while Liwei looked at Yu Mei who was sitting beside Xie Ming's bed with her swollen eyes and glum face.
It was clear that she was crying earlier. When doctor Bai came to Villa earlier, they didn't know what happened but when Liwei got off the car with Xie Ming in his arms in that condition, her heart ached for her.
She can't even imagine her pain of being humiliated like this. As a girl, her body trembled to see the wounds on her body and her torn clothes. For Yu Mei, Xie Ming was like her elder sister that she has always looked up to and admired.
Liwei sighed and said, " You go downstairs. I will stay by her side."
Yu Mei's face fell when she heard his words. She wanted to stay here with Xie Ming but Liwei was driving her out.
Yu Mei wanted to say no but in the end, nodded reluctantly seeing his cold and blank expression.
" Master, should I get you some food? You must be hungry?" Yu Mei asked him while standing at the entrance of the room.
Liwei looked at her and shook his head in denial.
" No. You'll go. I will eat later with Xoe Ming."
Yu Mei widened her eyes in bewilderment." But Master I asked Mr. Gu that you ate your lunch because you were busy finding Miss? Then why are you refusing to eat. You know that it's not good for health to skip dinner."
Gu Shao has told her that Liwei has canceled the lunch meeting because he went to rescue Xie Ming and skipped his lunch and everything just to search for her. And even the doctor also told them that she might wake up only in the morning.
' Even now he wants to skip his dinner also.' Yu Mei looked at Liwei with a complicated gaze and wanted to say something when he glanced at her with his piercing gaze as if telling her to get out.
She sighed and silently went out of the room.
After Yu Mei went, Liwei sat on the other side of the bed and shifted towards Xie Ming with his legs on the bed and shifted towards Xie Ming.
He placed his hand on her pearl smooth face which was full of wounds and caressed them lightly. His eyes were gentle and soft while caressing her jade white face.
Her face was full of scratches and swelling on her forehead.
His fingers went to her dry chapped lips and caressed them. Her plump rosy moist lips were now dry and chapped with no color.
He bent a little and gave a gentle peck on her lips. Though it was just a little peck on her lips but it was as sweet as always.
" I am glad that you're by my side now." he lightly said against her lips.
