Chapter 47 There is no turning back
There was a heavy rainstorm in London late at night, and the flowers in the courtyard were beaten into the soil.
In the ward, Ji Wan was lying on the bed waving his hands randomly.
Amidst the roaring thunder, she returned to that rainy night...
In Ji's old house, there was a frail woman lying on the bed in the bedroom. Her body was so thin that only skin and bones were left, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were dry.
"Mom, don't leave me, I beg you, don't abandon me and dad..."
As a girl, Ji Wan knelt in front of the bed. She took Ji's mother's hand and put it close to her face.
Warm tears fell on the back of her hands one after another, and there was a glimmer of light in Ji's mother's eyes.
Her fingertips moved slightly, as if she wanted to help her daughter wipe away her tears.
This subtle movement was captured by Ji Wan. She looked at her mother with tears and joy, while pressing the call bell desperately with her other hand.
"Wan Wan, it's useless... don't cry, be good..."
Ji's mother looked at the face in front of her, her vision gradually blurred, and she knew very well that her state was returning to the light.
I was holding on to this breath just to wait until I saw my daughter for the last time. Now that I saw her, my wish was naturally fulfilled.
The hand she was holding suddenly lost strength, and Ji Wan's pupils shrank. She called her mother eagerly, but she never got a response.
The purple lightning outside the window lit up the sky, and also illuminated the face that was sleeping forever on the bed...
"Mom! Don't leave me!"
A heartbreaking cry and majestic thunder sounded together.
The door of Ji Wan's ward was opened by someone, and Fu Wei quickly stepped forward while watching the man trapped in the nightmare.
"Wanwan...I'm here, I'm always by your side."
The gentle male voice penetrated the thunder and reached Ji Wan's ears. Her eyelids moved slightly, breaking away from the nightmare.
When she opened her eyes, it was darkness. During the healing period, the gauze on her face could not be removed.
But there was a familiar aura surrounding her body. She clutched the clothes of the person in front of her tightly, and a hoarse voice escaped from her throat.
"Lin Ji?"
She was a little afraid that this was a dream within a dream, after all, the sound of the thunderstorm never stopped, exactly like in the dream.
"I'm here."
Fu Wei gently held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, and his hand touching her back comfortingly.
"It'll be fine when you wake up. It's just a nightmare and it will pass..."
Ji Wan didn't speak, just leaned quietly in his arms.
The closeness of the body made the strong heartbeat more obvious, and Ji Wan's heart slowly calmed down.
"Lin Ji..."
She whispered his name, and even though her voice was still a little hoarse, it was less powerless.
Fu Wei lowered his eyes and looked at the person close at hand. Complex emotions surged in his deep eyes, but they quickly disappeared.
He wished that the person Wan Wan was calling was not Lin Ji, but his real name.
But once this lie started, there was no turning back except to cover it up with more and more lies...
"I'm here."
His response was simple and powerful. Ji Wan breathed a sigh of relief and moved to get out of his arms.
"I'm awake now, thank you."
Fu Wei smiled helplessly, just throw it away after using it?
I don't know whether to praise her for her safety awareness and sense of distance, or to lament that she is really a heartless and unjust woman.
"Then I'll go back first. If you need anything, just call me. I'll always be there."
Fu Weili got out of bed, and he handed the initiative into Ji Wan's hands.
The sound of the door opening sounded, and there happened to be a sound of thunder on the horizon, and purple light illuminated the entire ward.
She couldn't see it, but she was still frightened by the thunder, and the cold wind blew in with the Wan calmed down and fumbled to get out of bed.
It was probably because of the heavy wind and rain that the unlocked window was blown open.
Just as her feet were about to hit the ground, they were held by a pair of warm hands. Ji Wan was stunned, a little at a loss.
"Is it difficult to learn to ask people for help? I don't know who I learned it from if I like to show off my strong character..."
Lin Ji's gentle and reproachful voice sounded in front of her, making Ji Wan's face turn red.
Fortunately, after stopping Ji Wan from getting out of bed, Fu Wei turned around and re-locked the window that had been blown open by the wind.
He moved a chair and sat in front of the hospital bed.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you tonight."
There was a trace of perceived distress in his voice, and Ji Wan's words of polite refusal were stuck in his throat.
There was lightning and thunder, and she really needed someone to accompany her...
"Wanwan, do you want to hear the story?"
Lin Ji's voice sounded in the darkness, and Ji Wan's head tilted towards the direction from which the voice came.
"Can you still tell stories?"
"I never told you, you are the first."
Fu Wei's fingertips searching for the story paused for a moment, and then he smiled.
It’s not a bad thing to try…
The sound of thunderstorm accompanied Lin Ji's gentle narration, and Ji Wan's frown gradually relaxed. She actually got a good night's sleep on the night of thunderstorm.
When he woke up again, Lin Ji had already left.
Xu Jia was sitting by the bed sorting out information. He noticed her awakening and joked.
"Are you awake? It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly. In the environment like yesterday, I was worried that you might have nightmares."
"Um……"
Ji Wan's voice sounded a little guilty. She was indeed having a nightmare, but she fell asleep inexplicably later.
"Hey, Dr. Xu is here, do you want to have breakfast together?"
Fu Wei yawned and came to Ji Wan's ward. The door was not closed, so he simply stood and asked.
"Didn't you sleep well yesterday? You have two panda eyes. Do you want me to see a doctor?"
Xu Jia raised her eyebrows and looked at the dark green eyes of Fu Wei with some disbelief.
"No, I just have insomnia occasionally."
Fu Wei declined, his eyes glued to Ji Wan.
Ji Wan, who felt the gaze, silently pulled up the quilt and wrapped herself up.
"I'm not hungry, you go and eat..."
Ji Wan, who was hiding under the quilt, was a little confused. Could it be that she was really interested in Lin Ji?
Once the thought emerged, it was out of control, and Ji Wan's ears turned red visibly...
Ji Wan was serious about her own intentions, while Shen Yufei was sitting in a cafe on the pedestrian street, looking for chess pieces that could be used for her.
Fu Wei knew Shen Yufei, so she could not appear at Marigold Nursing Home openly.
So if you want to ruin the relationship between the two, you need someone to do things for you.
There are many people coming and going on the pedestrian street, performance artists, street singers...
Shen Yufei quickly targeted beggars on the street.
She was a young girl with blond hair and blue eyes, who was very suitable for getting close to Ji Wan.
Doesn’t this woman like to put on a caring face?Then you have to take good care of the gifts you give...
