"Lin Qing." The man walked up to Lin Qing and called her softly.
Lin Qing did not speak, but lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly.
The man didn't say anything else, but just sat quietly beside Lin Qing. Xiaoke suddenly felt an inexplicable atmosphere surrounding her, making her feel like a light bulb.
But when Xiao Ke wanted to stand up, he caught a glimpse of the tall and straight Commander Mu striding towards him, with the lines of his chin tense and gloomy.
"Mu..." Xiao Ke was startled. When the word "Mu" came out of her mouth, she didn't know whether she should say it or not. The word got stuck in her throat and attracted Lin Qing's attention.
Lin Qing finally reacted and slowly raised his head to look at Mu Li.
"Still crying?" Mu Li saw the woman's tears before he walked forward. He hated tears.
Lin Qing had thousands of words he wanted to say, but his throat was stiff and he couldn't say anything. He could only stare at the figure that was pressing on him.
If she knew that the words she didn't say would make her lose the most important person, she would have said it even if her voice was hoarse. But at this moment, she just stared at Mu Li blankly, and stretched out her hand to him for a long time.
Mu Li did not hold her outstretched hand, but only wiped the tears from her face. When his big hand was about to withdraw, Lin Qing hurriedly grabbed his hand back and held it tightly with her two small hands.
"Mu Li..." She spoke softly and held the man's hand tightly, afraid that he would suddenly pull it away.
The gloom in Mu Li's eyes faded a little, and he wanted to ask Lin Qing if she still didn't believe him. Before he could open his mouth, the lights in the operating room went out, and the doctor took off his mask as he walked out of the operating room, his eyes sweeping across the four people at the door.
"Who among you is a family member?"
Lin Qing stood up and walked quickly to the doctor: "Her family members are not in City A. I am her friend." Lin Qing said thinking of the people behind him, "They are too."
The doctor looked around and saw Mu Li standing behind him. He didn't expect that the little girl in the operating room was related to Commander Mu. He saw that Lin Qing's eyes were slightly red, probably because she was worried about her friend: "She has been rescued. Your friend is lucky. Although the car accident was serious, fortunately no vital parts were injured. Send her back to the ward and you can go to see her later."
Lin Qingsong took a deep breath, and a pair of hands supported her shoulders. She turned around and looked into a pair of black eyes. She felt relieved from the warmth coming from Mu Li's palm.
It seemed as if everything would be fine as long as he was there.
In fact, Lin Qing didn't quite believe what Chen Qudong said just now. Even if what he said was true, how could he be sure that it was related to the ring? And if Lu Xiao went to meet Mu Li, she would definitely tell Lin Qing in advance and say something disdainful like your husband wrongly accused me of instigating you to retaliate.
When Lin Qing calmed down and thought about it carefully, the so-called truth was not so reliable. It was just that she had doubted Mu Li just now, and he was obviously angry.
The nurse and doctor pushed Lu Xiao out of the operating room, and the four of them followed him all the way to the ward. Lin Qing looked around and saw that it was a double room, and the other bed was empty. She thought it would be nice to be quiet like this, but she didn't know that this was specially prepared by the hospital because Mu Li had just ordered it.
It was already past nine in the morning, and the sunlight shone through the screen window, giving off a subtle warmth. Lin Qing sat by the bed, watching the tiny rays of light shining on Lu Xiao's face, who was still very pale.
The doctor said that Lu Xiao had a total of 27 injuries of varying sizes on his body, which showed that he was hit pretty hard. If Yinghao hadn't been in the city center, very close to the hospital and could be taken to it in a few minutes, no one could say what would happen to Lu Xiao now.
In short, just be alive.
Lu Xiao never woke up, and Lin Qing anxiously went to see the doctor again and again.
"Don't worry, he will wake up in the next two days." The doctor looked over Lin Qing's shoulder at Mu Li behind him. If it weren't for Mu Shao's instructions, they wouldn't have to put Lu Xiao in a safe place without making it look like he was being taken care of. They also had to seriously consider adding more medical staff.
Lin Qing was not aware of this. Thinking about how Mu Li had been hospitalized before, someone would come to the ward to check on him. He thought there was nothing special about this. But Xiao Ke pulled Lin Qing aside and asked secretly, "Did Mr. Mu say hello? It seems that the doctors and nurses don't come so often normally."
Lin Qing glanced at Mu Li standing outside the door, smiled and shook her head: "Probably not." If Mu Li really did this, she would definitely be very touched, but she also knew that Mu Li would not be so attentive to her.
Lin Qing and Xiao Ke agreed to take turns to take care of Lu Xiao, because Lu Xiao's family were not around, which made people a little worried.
After leaving the hospital gate, Mu Li stopped Lin Qing who was about to get into the car and asked: "Are you coming tomorrow?" When he was in the hospital, he had clearly told the doctor about his three meals a day. Why didn't this woman appreciate it
Lin Qing nodded persistently: "I want to come and accompany her." Perhaps because of the previous incident, Lin Qing felt more and more guilty towards Lu Xiao.
The next day, Mu Li sent Lin Qing over. Lin Qing was worried that Lu Xiao would have nothing to eat when she woke up, so she brought an exquisite insulated lunch box. Mu Li checked the time and went to the sixth floor of the main building. He asked Lin Qing to wait for him to have lunch together at noon.
"Where are you going?" There was a nervous look in Lin Qing's eyes. She didn't know that Mu Li would come to see the doctor.
Mu Li rubbed his forehead: "Headache."
He just said it casually and didn't want to let Lin Qing know that he was receiving treatment. When Lin Qing heard it, she grabbed Mu Li's hand and said, "Is it the place where you had the surgery before? When did you start having headaches? Do you have headaches often?" Her series of questions left Mu Li speechless.
"It's okay, you can go up."
Looking at the smile on Mu Li's lips, Lin Qing was stunned. Although it was only a fleeting smile, it was the first time he smiled at her.
"You smiled." She lost the strength to move and just focused on looking at Mu Li. The hospital was crowded with people, and they happened to be standing at the intersection. People passed by them from time to time, but Lin Qing could not see them at all.
She only saw Mu Li's smile.
Someone accidentally bumped into Lin Qing when walking from behind. Lin Qing lost consciousness and leaned forward, about to fall. She swayed twice and was still unable to stand steadily. Her eyes went dark and she fell into a warm embrace.
Mu Li's chin just touched the top of Lin Qing's head. He didn't say anything, but just put one hand on Lin Qing's waist. The person who bumped into Lin Qing apologized repeatedly, and Mu Li frowned slightly and asked the person to go away.
Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.
"Mu Li?" After a long time, Mu Li still kept hugging her, and Lin Qing spoke softly.
Her voice was very soft. When she raised her head, she met the man's deep eyes. For a moment, she was stunned.
"Be careful next time." Mu Li let her go and straightened the wrinkled corners of his clothes.
"You said you had a headache just now..." Lin Qing was still thinking about this matter. In fact, after Mu Li was discharged from the hospital, she secretly went to the hospital to ask the doctor. The doctor said that he should pay more attention to rest and it is possible to have a headache occasionally.
There was a subtle flash of emotion in Mu Li's eyes: "It's okay. I'm going to see someone I know."
He didn't tell the truth after all.
Lin Qing just nodded when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
In the general ward of the inpatient department, Lu Xiao lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was still pale, and a tube was inserted into her arm with transparent liquid flowing into her blood vessels. It was really hard to get used to seeing Lu Xiao so quiet. Lin Qing wanted to see the Lu Xiao who was always outgoing and cheerful every time they met, instead of the one lying silently on the bed now.
People are really strange sometimes. They won't try desperately to keep something until they realize they are in danger of losing it.
Lu Xiao hadn't woken up by noon. Lin Qing checked the time, told the nurse a few words, and went downstairs to find Mu Li. Mu Li had sent a text message half an hour ago, saying that he would be waiting downstairs when he was done.
There were many people in the inpatient department, and from time to time people came to visit with flower baskets and fruits. Every day someone was injured, every day someone was hospitalized, and every day someone died. Lin Qing suddenly felt that death was the only thing that no one could stop, and there was not even a chance to resist.
Her heart suddenly ached inexplicably, and she became uneasy. Lin Qing looked back at Lu Xiao's ward. When she was about to go downstairs, she heard two young nurses passing by talking: "What is the relationship between the woman in bed 21 and Mr. Mu? I heard that Mr. Mu ordered a special care."
"Who knows? I don't think she is the type that Mr. Mu likes. But is it true that as the rumors say, Mr. Mu dotes on his wife?" Another young nurse shook her head while holding a stack of medical records.
21 is Lu Xiao’s bed number.
Lin Qing's footsteps paused slightly, her heart ached and she sniffed twice.
It turns out that he has always been by her side. Even without that memory, he is still Mu Li, and no one can change that.
Lin Qing's eyes curved up, and some kind of emotion suddenly released in his heart. What if those memories were gone? For them, what was important was not the memories of the past, but the present.
She didn't think much about it before, but now that she has figured it out, her mind is suddenly clear. She quickened her pace and couldn't wait to get to Mu Li. She wanted to give him a warm hug when she saw him. Even if he wanted to push her away, she would never let go.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing walked faster.
Opposite the No. 3 Inpatient Department was the main building. As soon as Lin Qing got downstairs, she saw a tall figure standing with his back to her not far away. She quickened her pace, wanting to appear in front of him in the next second. She took two steps but paused slightly.
A man stood opposite Mu Li, and the atmosphere between the two of them was as tense as a string. Lin Qing could only see Mu Li's back, and therefore the man opposite him. The smile on the man's face had an indescribable ambiguity, as if he was sure of victory.
This was an expression Lin Qing had never seen before. Although he was smiling, it made people feel cold from head to toe. Lin Qing couldn't guess what the man was thinking, nor did she want to guess. She calmed herself down and slowly walked behind Mu Li and took his arm.
"Senior." Lin Qing greeted politely.
Chen Qudong didn't know what Lin Qing saw. His smile had turned gentle and affectionate: "Lin Qing, how is Lu Xiao?"
Chen Qudong and Lu Xiao knew each other because of that time when Lin Qing was suddenly sent on a business trip by the company, but their relationship would not be so good. Lin Qing thought about it and replied: "I haven't woken up yet."
She saw that Chen Qudong's expression didn't change much.
