Chapter 85: Consolation
Si Wan had been in a coma for one day and one night. Even the experienced Yue had no idea what went wrong.
She had no fever or internal injuries. All of her vital signs were normal, but she wouldn’t wake up.
In desperation, Yue called in the top medical team in Country C.
A rapid knock on the door awakened Gong Siming like a death warrant.
Gong Siming opened the door, showing his gloomy face and untrimmed beard, which startled Hua Er outside.
“President Gong, Director Si is in a bad condition.”
Gong Siming staggered and collapsed as if his soul and vigor had been drained. In a hurry, Hua Er supported the falling man.
“President Gong, if you collapse now, who will take care of Director Si?”
Hua Er’s words revitalized Gong Siming like a shot of stimulant.
Gong Siming hurried to Yue’s room and saw the doctor shaking her head helplessly.
“General, it’s not that I wouldn’t save her, I could hardly do anything given her condition!”
“How is that possible?” Yue asked anxiously.
“Do you know the reason for her coma?”
The doctor gave a hard look as if he was afraid of saying anything wrong.
“Just spit it, we are all women. What’s holding you back?”
At the sight of the doctor’s predicament, Yue asked impatiently.
Following a helpless sigh, the doctor said with distress.
“She must have been raped. There are signs of lacerations and inflammation on her private part. Her body is covered with bruises, but her vital signs are normal, and she isn’t running a fever. It’s most likely the patient wouldn’t wake up herself.”
Following the doctor’s words, Yue shot a fierce glance at Gong Siming who stood behind her. His face was now ghastly pale, and his eyes were as blank as those of a dead man.
“And this girl seemingly lost her virginity. Overwhelmed by the psychological and physical blow, she wouldn’t wake up. In this case, someone important to her might be able to awaken her soon, or she might remain in a vegetative state. The worst-case scenario is failure of vital signs.”
Hearing out the doctor, Yue went mad and punched Gong Siming fiercely in the face. Like a dead man, Gong Siming still fixed his eyes on the woman lying in bed.
Hua Er protected Gong Siming with his body. Under her fierce attacks, he got blood coming out from the corner of his mouth.
Gong Siming collapsed on the ground in a miserable state, but Yue showed no sympathy.
It was him who had hurt Si Wan, and the harm was fatal.
He was the initiator of all the pain and misfortune. Still, he had the brass face to feign pity.
“Get out!”
Yue suppressed her murderous intent and gnashed her teeth.
Gong Siming guarded at Si Wan’s bed and wouldn’t move.
“Mama!”
Yue looked at the little kid behind her with surprise. This was the first time that he had ever called her mom.
The little kid shook his head, seemingly stopping her from driving Gong Siming away.
She hadn’t expected that the kid should plead for Gong Siming.
“Gong Siming, pray that Si Wan will wake up soon, or I’ll hunt you down no matter where you go!”
Their friendship had lasted for decades. What a great rage would drive Yue to make such ruthless remarks.
Hua Er was impressed by Si Wan again. Should she have the ability to turn the Devil Incarnate against President Gong!
Sick of Gong Siming’s devastated look, Yue went to another room with the little kid.
At the sight of the unconscious woman, Gong Siming felt his life meaningless.
Back when Feng Ling fell into a coma, he was furious but didn’t think about following her to the other side. But now, he had the wish, and it was very intense.
Without a word, Gong Siming held Si Wan’s hand tightly.
He wanted to say something, but words somehow failed him.
What was the point of keeping such a Si Wan by his side?
He would rather see Si Wan enjoying happiness in another man’s arms than watch her lying lifelessly before his eyes.
However, Gong Siming couldn’t actually do that. He couldn’t imagine a life without Si Wan by his side.
“I am sorry!”
He sounded like a senile man, and the hoarseness in his voice was like from damaged vocal cords, which was quite disturbing.
It sounded like a scratchy old record.
Without doubt, as long as Gong Siming was around, Si Wan would be injured.
And her injuries were increasingly serious.
“As long as you wake up, I’m willing to die!”
His sobbing tone became stronger, and tears trickled down his cheeks, falling onto Si Wan’s hand.
Like a big boy, Gong Siming cried and howled.
Suddenly, the tender hand on his cheek moved and wiped off his tears.
“Ming, don’t cry!”
Her gentle and sweet voice wafted into Gong Siming’s ears.
With a start, he raised his head and saw a rueful smile on Si Wan’s pale face.
Just then, Yue came in with food and saw Si Wan gently wiping Gong Siming’s tears.”
“You grew a beard.”
Si Wan sounded feeble.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Um, if you don’t like it, I’ll shave now.”
He got up to shave his beard, but his clothes were tugged by Si Wan’s feeble hand.
Concerned about her vigor, Gong Siming sat back by her bed.
“I like it. No matter how you change, I still like you.”
He rested his head on Si Wan’s palm and couldn’t help crying.
“In my mind, Ming is the god of war in the army and an unparalleled existence. He is strong, brave, wise, and never cries.”
Wiping the tears off his face, Gong Siming showed his usual calm look as if everything was under control.
But he couldn’t stop his tears from falling.
“For you, I cry once and won’t do it again, okay?”
His whisper was as gentle as a spring rain awakening the hibernated earth.
“Then I promise that I won’t let you cry for me again!” Si Wan said with distress.
“No, no, for you, I can do anything.” Gong Siming responded anxiously.
Yue was left speechless. Gong Siming was so good with sugared words!
Why did he usually act so stubbornly and freakily?
Luckily, everything went in the right direction. Otherwise, she couldn’t anticipate what crazy things Gong Siming would do.
They were an example couple who loved and hurt each other!
This was so melodramatic!
“Mama!”
A childish voice snapped Yue out of the drama.
Si Wan wanted to sit up but feebly lay back down.
Gong Siming reached out to support the frail woman and let her lean against his body.
Si Wan gave a sweet smile at the little kid and opened her arms. Quite happily, the kid pounced down on her.
If Gong Siming wasn’t not supporting her from behind, Si Wan would have fallen backwards.
Yue was one step slower to check her son. The little kid had plunged into Si Wan’s arms.
With his slobbery mouth, he kissed Si Wan on the face.
Then, he gave an innocent and cute smile, which melted everyone’s heart.
All the unhappiness and gloom seemingly dissipated.
The sky cleared up after the rain. It was bright outside the window.
