You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 63 Part 2

The nurse came in to give Xu Yin the shot and stayed by the bedside to comfort him until he calmed down. The nurse turned to leave and saw Ruan Yu’s hand. She called out in shock: “Miss, your hand……”

Just that moment, Xu Huaisong and Tao Rong had rushed over to the ward. They probably had seen the panicking hospital staff on their way to the room and hastily ran over.

Tao Rong was stunned by the mess in the room and stood frozen at the door.

Xu Huaisong immediately saw the blood on Ruan Yu’s palm. He hurriedly stepped forward, without even asking about his father, and pulled Ruan Yu out of the room by her uninjured hand: “Nurse, please come take care of her wounds.”

Ruan Yu hadn’t recovered from the earlier chaos yet and didn’t come to her senses until after being led away a few steps. “Go take a look at your father. I’m alright……”

Xu Huaisong didn’t say anything but kept leading her to the treatment room while lifting her hand to check it. The blue veins on his forehead were pulsing.

The nurse followed them into the treatment room, turned on the light, pulled up the curtain, and brought over the tools. She put on gloves and disinfected the tweezers while telling Ruan Yu: “Sit on the bed. It’ll hurt a bit, bear with me. Come, give me your hand.”

Ruan Yu sat down on the edge of the bed and only then began to feel the prickling on her palm. The moment she handed her hand over, she grit her teeth and turned her eyes away.

Xu Huaisong stood right next to her. He used one arm to rub circles around her shoulder and the other hand to cover her eyes.

The nurse slowly pulled out the shards of glass from Ruan Yu’s flesh and skin. Ruan Yu kept hissing from the pain. Her eyelashes were quivering and repeatedly brushed against Xu Huaisong’s palm.

Xu Huaisong held on to her even tighter and lightly patted Ruan Yu’s back: “It’ll be over soon, soon.” Five minutes later, the nurse put down the tweezers. Xu Huaisong asked: “Have all the shards been pulled out? Please check again.”

The nurse checked Ruan Yu’s palm again to make sure and said: “Don’t worry. It’s all clean. I’m going to disinfect it, bear with me again.”

Ruan Yu nodded. She put her cheek tightly against Xu Huaisong’s abdomen. The moment the disinfectant touched her palm, she trembled all over and tears began welling up in her eyes.

Xu Huaisong also shuddered. After a moment of silence, he put his own hand next to Ruan Yu’s mouth: “Bite me if it’s too painful.”

Ruan Yu shook her head and though in pain, said with a smile: “Then you’ll have to get rabies shots.”

Xu Huaisong knew that Ruan Yu was trying to lighten the mood and continued the conversation: “Nurse, do I need to get rabies shots after getting bitten by a little rabbit?”

The nurse laughed and also joined in: “Rabbits are rodents. Usually there’s no need to get rabies shots after being bitten by rabbits. Actually, I’m the one who needs to get some digestive tablets after being fed so much PDA.”

Xu Huaisong replies with a laugh: “Then we’ll pay for the medicine.”

Ruan Yu was amused by the exchange. By the time she was reminded of the pain, her palm was already bandaged up.

The nurse put away the tools and gave them instructions about when to change the dressing and what not to eat before pushing her cart out of the room.

Xu Huaisong sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked down to carefully lift up her injured hand and gently touch it. He then looked up to say: “Sorry.”

“It’s me who should be saying that. I didn’t take good care of your father…… It was because he saw Wei Jin’s case on TV and lost control……”

Xu Huaisong nodded: “It’s alright. It’s quite common for him to lose control like this. It’s because the new caregiver is not used to the situation yet. Back in the US, usually the caregivers could calm him down without even using tranquilisers.”

“Aren’t you going to go and check on him?”

Xu Huaisong shook his head: “The doctor’s there and my mom also needs a moment like this to be alone with him. They will call us if there’s anything.”

Ruan Yu suddenly realized: “You even play tricks on your own mother.”

There was a faint smile on Xu Huaisong’s face but he didn’t respond to Ruan Yu’s comment. It looked like he was still feeling for her: “Does it still hurt?”

Ruan Yu shook her head: “It’s alright.”

“Sorry to trouble you so much.”

“What’s the trouble? Your family is also my family.”

Something flashed in Xu Huaisong’s eyes. After a moment of silence, he replied: “En.” Then he kissed her forehead.
