Chapter 459 took me so long
Like the sky above did not agree with the heaven's decision in taking Yue Ling and Lu Tian's child, the gray clouds gathered together more than it already was, and rain poured down over Imperial.
Anger and sadness rumble as thunder cried and the sky weep in pain for the unfairness that befall them.
Yue Ling laid on the hospital bed, but this time it was not only her but Lu Tian as well.
After the man poured his heart out, she made room to let him lay down with her.
His arm wrapped around her waist as his head rested on her chest and use her arm as a pillow.
The moment Yue Ling woke up, she could see that he had not slept. Unlike his usual strong appearance, he looked so fragile like he could break at any moment.
Grandfather Ji told her that she had been in a deep sleep for seven days and throughout those days, Lu Tian never left her side but continue to whisper her name to her in hopes that his voice will guide her back to him.
She rest her head on the pillow and stares up at the white ceiling.
"Tian…"
She whispers his name as he answers her with a faint 'mm'.
"I'm sorry it took me so long…"
The tips of her fingers gently trace the side of his arm and she turns her head to look out the window. Unlike the clear blue sky in her dream, outside was gray and gloomy.
"I was in a far away place… A place I did not know, nor have I been to…"
Watching the rain trickle onto the window and slide down, a faint smile curl on her lip.
"In that place, I met our child… our child was a healthy boy and he looked just like you…"
She sighs a faint chuckle as she remembers the little boy in her dream. He looked exactly like the photo she saw at the Lu family house of Lu Tian when he was younger.
However, the corners of her lip trembles a smile.
"He had my eyes… the same exact color as mine."
Her fingers continue to gently trace the side of his arm as her words continue.
"He wanted me to tell you that he is not mad at you."
She looks down at him and she faintly smiles. The sound of his quiet breathing enters her ears as he was deep asleep.
Moving her hand, she place her palm on the side of his head and leans her head against the top of his head.
Closing her eyes, she nestles against him more.
"Our son guided me back to you."
Lu Tian's eyes slowly open as he woke up from his sleep. Ever since his wife was admitted to the hospital, he couldn't sleep at all. Well, more like he didn't have it in him to sleep.
He was afraid.
Even when he blinks his eyes, he can still see the crash so vividly.
They have already lost their child, he cannot bare to lose her too.
However, he didn't know why, but as Yue Ling continued to pat his head, the tiredness inside overtook.
Subconsciously wanting to hold in her in his arms more, his eyes widen when all he could touch was the coldness of the bed.
He abruptly sat up and looks around the room in panic. His wife isn't here!
His heart clenched tightly with intense fear and he got up from the bed.
"Yue Ling?"
She was just here in his arms. Everything was so real and not some kind of dream.
"Yue Ling?"
Just as he was about to walk out of the room, the door to the restroom inside the private ward opens and Yue Ling steps out.
Lu Tian's legs went soft and he was barely able to stand up.
Yue Ling close the door and she looks at Lu Tian with a confused expression.
"What's wrong?"
She had only left to wash her face since she has been bedridden for seven days. However, seeing the pale look on his face and the way he was looking at her, she could already guess what he was thinking.
Walking over to him, she sighs smiles to him and wrap her arms around his waist.
"Tian, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."
Feeling her warmth transfer onto his body, he knew this was not was a dream. If it was, he wouldn't be able to feel her touch do vividly.
Wrapping his arms around her, he held her tightly. Resting his head on her shoulder, he swore inside he will never let her out of his sight.
After a long while, he reluctantly pulls away from her. Walking her back to the bed, he tells her to rest some more. Her body has not fully recovered.
As Yue Ling laid back on the bed, Lu Tian place the blanket over her body and sat down on the chair by the bed.
Never letting go of her hand, he part his lip to speak.
"If you need anything, let me know. If you have to get up, let me know."
He tightens his hold on her hand and his words continue.
"Only when I'm able to see you will I feel alive."
Hearing his words, Yue Ling felt her entire being soften. She knows that anyone in his position would react this way. If it had been her, she would have been afraid too.
Gently squeezing his hand that is wrapped around hers, she brings his hand closer to her lip and she place a kiss on his hand like how he would always do to her.
*knock knock
Just when she wanted to tell him that she won't go anywhere, a knock sounds at the door as it opens.
Both their head turn to look at who it was and to their surprise, it was Lin Hui and the members of Alpha Team.
Yue Ling had been wondering where here team was since she only saw Wolf Team, but seeing them now, she already knew why they did not appear until now.
Each person stares at Yue Ling with swollen red eyes before entering the room one at a time.
Seeing them, Lu Tian felt bitter inside as he still wanted to spend time with his wife, but knowing he can't be selfish, he stood up from the chair.
Placing a kiss on her forehead, he faintly smiles to her.
"I'll step out for a bit. Call for me if you need anything, I won't be far."
Yue Ling looks at him and returns a smile to him. She knows that he doesn't want to leave, but he respects her and her team, so he is willing to give them time.
As Lu Tian's figure exit the room, Ju Suo stares at her boss with moisten eyes. Like a child finally reunited with her mother again, tears ran down her eyes and she wails loudly as she runs over to the bed.
"Boss—!!!"
