Chapter 237 Anything close to this

Walking to where he was, she said," Yes doctor? Is everything alright?" "Yes. The patient refused the nurse assigned to him and he said that he prefers your company," he said and a smile spread on her lips. "Okay. I will go be with him. Thank you," she said before walking away towards the direction of his room.

Reaching the door, she opened and looked inside to see him looking at her. She closed the door behind her and walked to him.

"Were you leaving?" he asked. "Yes. The doctor told us that you were going to sleep in company of a trained nurse," she said.

Looking at him, she asked," Where are you hurting?" "Everywhere. My head, my heart, my whole body," he said. "I'm sorry. I just wish that I could take away part of your pain at least," she said. "You can." "How?" she asked. "If you kiss me," he said. She smiled and said," Even in this condition you're able to joke around." "I'm not joking." "Well, first tell me. Why did you want to kill yourself Jin Liwei?" she asked. "It was an accident," he said. "You're lying. Your assistant told us everything. Do you know how worried I was? If not for our b... " "Our what?" he asked. "Nothing. If not for the little hope I was left with then, I would have done something crazy already." "I'm sorry," he said. "You would have called me yesterday night before doing anything. I'm sure things would have turned out different." "Forgive me," he said. She took a while to say," Okay I forgive you. But promise that you will never do anything close to this again, ever." "I promise," he said.

As she was making way to the spare bed, Jin Liwei said," Sleep here with me." "You're sick. There's no way we can share a bed."

"Please," he said making space for her as he pushed himself back. "I might hurt you."

"I insist," he said and she walked to the bed before climbing on it. When she laid beside him, she faced him and said," Are you sure that you will be comfortable?" "More than ever," he said and she nodded.

With their faces so close to each other, they could feel each other's breath on their skins.

Looking into his eyes, she whispered," You really gave me a scare. I don't ever wish to experience anything close to this." "And I promise you won't ever," he said.

"I'm so exhausted," she said when she felt her eyes turn heavy. She has been up and down and stressed the whole day that she hadn't gotten a moment to rest. "You can sleep, it's okay," he said. "But I should be taking care of you," she whispered before saying," I will take a nap for just ten minutes, okay?"

"Go ahead," he said and he saw her close her eyes.

Not long after, he heard her lightly snore and he realized that she was indeed tired.

He covered her properly and took her in his embrace. He was glad that his plan had worked out perfectly and was able to hold her again like this.

Opening her eyes, Li Fei scanned the room and remembered that she had slept in the hospital and with a patient. Yawning, it was then she realized that her head was resting on his chest and she got up immediately. "Oh my God! Why didn't you wake me up?! Did I hurt you?!" she asked looking at him worriedly.

"Not at all. How was your night?" he asked. "I don't even know. I didn't wake up at all until now. What time is it?" "I don't know. Your phone has been ringing," he said. "I'm so sorry. Did it disturb you from your sleep?" she asked as she fetched it from her trouser pockets.

Checking, it was her mother and she remembered that she didn't inform her about his waking up. Calling her, she picked up," Mom, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you." "It's okay. How is he?" "He woke up." "Yeah, Liling told me. How is he feeling right now?"

"Not bad. I guess he will be fine," she said.

"That is great news. I will call you back," she said before hanging up. Not long after, she got a call from Jiang. Talking and assuring him that everything was fine, she hang up.

She looked at him and said," My family sends regards. They wish you a quick recovery." He nodded and she got off the bed then walked to the bathroom.

On coming out, she told him that she was going to fetch her bag. When she left, he hurriedly stood up and went to the bathroom then came back on the bed and ordered breakfast for the two of them.

Coming back, she had a bath and a change of clothes.

By the time she came back to the room, she found that breakfast had been delivered.

"Can you eat by yourself? Or should I feed you?" she asked. "I can't eat by myself," he said.

Sitting with him on the bed, she started feeding him as she asked," Why didn't you wake me up? I told you I wanted to sleep for only ten minutes." "You were so tired that you were even snoring," he told her. "I don't snore!" "Of course you do," he said and she glared at him. "I hate you," she said as she fed him a big portion of food.

"And I love you," he said after swallowing the food and he added," Even if you snore."

Before she could retort back, the door was opened and his parents came in.

"Li Fei, you're already here," said Ms Jin. "Yes. I came very early," she said. "Thank you so much for taking care of him," said Mr Jin. "How was your night son?"

"Not bad," he replied. He wondered what they were doing here, this early in the morning.

With his parents presence, Li Fei found it hard to feed him and she escaped by excusing herself to the bathroom. Ms Jin took her seat and said," Let me feed you." "I'm full mother," he said. "Are you sure?" she asked and he nodded.
