Chapter 594: Chapter 2: Her Regret and Love, His Prison and Lock (Part 2)
Which little story should I tell?
"Once upon a time, there was a mountain..."
...
An hour later, in the bright and clean hospital room.
Chi Yu lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, still unconscious.
Suisui swiftly drank down a cup of water, then handed the empty cup to Gu Yuan, lifting her head and saying, "Mom, I still want water."
Gu Yuan took the cup, ready to fill it up, when Qiu quickly caught it from her hand: "Let me do it, President Gu, you sit and rest for a bit."
Qiu quickly returned with the water, at a temperature suitable for children to drink. He held it steadily with both hands and handed it to Suisui: "Here, little princess."
Suisui took it, giving Qiu a sweet smile with her beautiful eyelashes, her voice sweet: "Thank you, Uncle."
"You’re welcome, little princess."
The sweet voice reached Qiu’s heart. He rarely had the opportunity to see President Gu’s daughter. It had been so long since the last time, he almost couldn’t remember. He only recalled she was a little one just learning to walk, and now she could sweetly call him uncle, feeling the passage of time.
In those few seconds of Qiu’s reflection, Gu Yuan didn’t sit down to rest but walked to the bedside.
This cup of water, Suisui didn’t finish. She had already drunk one cup earlier. After drinking a bit more, her little belly was full. She politely handed the cup to Qiu: "Here, Uncle."
Qiu took it, and Suisui slid off the chair and walked towards the bed.
The hospital bed was quite high. Standing beside it, Suisui could just lay her hands flat on the wound. As she was about to reach out to grab Chi Yu’s hand resting nearby, her mom said, "Daddy needs to rest, don’t disturb him."
Suisui withdrew her hand, resting her chin on it and asked her mom, "But didn’t you say not to let Daddy fall asleep?"
The little girl remembered Gu Yuan’s instructions.
She was to keep talking to Daddy, not letting him fall asleep, so she had told a story the whole way about an old monk and a little monk, making her very thirsty.
Gu Yuan was also afraid of disturbing Chi Yu’s rest, and softly said, "Earlier, we didn’t know what was wrong with Daddy, but now we’ve confirmed he’s healthy, so he can rest."
This time, Suisui understood, lifting a finger and putting it to her lips: "Shh, Mom, let’s talk quietly."
Gu Yuan felt healed at this moment.
She came over and hugged her daughter, asking, "Are you hungry?"
Suisui touched her own belly. After drinking water, it was full, giving a feeling of fullness, so she shook her head at Gu Yuan: "Not hungry."
"Then let’s wait quietly for Daddy to wake up, okay?"
"Sure!"
Gu Yuan picked up Suisui and sat down on the fabric sofa in the room.
Qiu was still nearby, ready for Gu Yuan’s call.
But there was nothing for Qiu to do right now, and many things awaited him at the company, so Gu Yuan let him return to the office.
Qiu nodded: "Okay, President Gu, if you need anything, call me, and I’ll come right away."
After Qiu left.
The room seemed even quieter.
Suisui, because she couldn’t make a sound, played quietly for a while. Before long, she took off her shoes and lay down on the sofa, resting her head on Gu Yuan’s thigh. Once she lay down, she grew even sleepier, and after a few yawns, Gu Yuan gently put her hand behind Suisui’s back, patting rhythmically until Suisui couldn’t resist the drowsiness and fell asleep. Then Gu Yuan withdrew her hand and took a thin blanket draped over the sofa, covering Suisui.
She stood up, walked to the bed, and quietly pulled a chair to sit by the bedside.
Looking at Chi Yu’s serene sleeping face, her mind drifted to what the doctor recently said.
"He’s physically very well, even after all the tests, nothing was found."
"Wait for him to wake up, and check him again in a couple of days."
"It might be caused by high stress, leading to exhaustion. More rest and observation are recommended."
When the doctor asked Gu Yuan what might be causing the patient’s stress, her mind went blank, unable to answer.
Was filming a reality show exhausting? She didn’t know.
Was country life tiring? She didn’t know.
Did she give him a lot of pressure? She still didn’t know.
But for Chi Yu, it was the impact of mental stress.
What exactly is he enduring?
Gu Yuan dared not delve deeper into her thoughts, wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with her thumb.
...
This sleep of Chi Yu’s was exceptionally long and deep.
