Chapter 702 - 714: Sleeping Like a Little Pig
"You should thank the person who donated blood. It’s rare to find someone so kind without leaving a name these days." The doctor smiled, taking off his mask and hat, and turned to walk outside.
She was frozen there.
The doctor’s words were like a cold shower, instantly extinguishing the happiness and joy that had just ignited in her heart.
She stood for a while longer, and Nangong Yaoling was pushed out from inside.
He was lying on the bed, receiving an IV infusion, with a head wrap and bandages, his handsome face lacked the usual dominance and sharpness, instead, it had a touch of gentle appeal.
Xia Xiaonuan stared at this face, still strikingly handsome despite the injuries, suddenly feeling a sense of surrealism. It was as if the person in front of her wasn’t the Nangong Yaoling she knew.
Nangong Zhongli and Nangong Feihong both rushed over, accompanying the doctor to escort Nangong Yaoling to the ward.
Zhong Li reached out and patted Xiaonuan’s shoulder, asking with concern: "My brother is fine now, why do you still look so worried? Are you too tired?"
"Yes, Xiaonuan, you don’t look well. You should go rest on the bed for a bit."
Nangong Yaoling’s room was a VIP room, with two beds, one for the patient and another for an attendant.
His bed was near the window, the other was by the wall next to her.
Nangong Feihong said this as he walked to the bed and helped her arrange the bedding.
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, glanced at Nangong Yaoling, then said: "You guys keep an eye on things here, I’ll go check on grandfather."
As she got up and walked to the door, Xia Xiaonuan suddenly felt dizzy and her body swayed slightly. Standing at the doorway, Shaochen quickly stepped forward, reaching out to take her into his arms.
"Xiaonuan!" Nangong Feihong rushed over: "Xiaonuan, what’s wrong?" He took Xia Xiaonuan from Shaochen’s arms, asking urgently.
Xia Xiaonuan’s mind was blank for a few seconds before she regained her senses.
She opened her eyes: "I’m fine..."
"Quickly help her rest." Nangong Zhongli said.
Xia Xiaonuan was helped to lie on the bed, Shaochen stood by her side, frowning and looking at her, suddenly becoming unusually silent, not saying a word from head to toe.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at everyone’s concerned gazes, possibly due to extreme fatigue, she unexpectedly fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up, it was already the second day, the sky outside was bright.
Ears filled with the sound of "thump thump" water, Xia Xiaonuan slowly opened her eyes, dazed.
Then she slowly turned, but was surprised to find that Nangong Yaoling was already awake.
In the bed across from him, he was watching her. Seeing her awake, a smile curved on his lips.
"You’re awake?" he asked.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly got up, walked to the bedside to look at him: "You... When did you wake up, why didn’t you call me?"
Nangong Yaoling’s face was still somewhat pale, due to the injections, his voice was hoarse as he said: "Seeing you sleep like a little pig, I didn’t dare to wake you." He remembered this woman had a serious case of grumpiness when waking up. If he woke her, she might get angry at him.
Actually, he saw her sleeping soundly and couldn’t bear to wake her. But his pride wouldn’t let him confess this to her, lest she mocked him.
His gaze fixed on her, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.
Especially given his physical weakness, his voice carried an unusual gentleness, making her heart start to flutter.
