The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 133

I regained consciousness bit by bit, and tried to open my heavy eyelids, but found that they were as heavy as lead and could not be opened. There was a buzzing sound in my ears, vague, and I tried to distinguish it, trying to grasp something.

"Luo Xue, how do you feel?" A familiar voice came into my ears, full of worry and fatigue. It was Zhong Shuhao. I tried hard to speak, but found that my throat was so dry that I couldn't make any sound.

"The doctor said you are too tired and need to rest well," another voice sounded with a hint of imperceptible coldness, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her." It was Zhong Yuxuan. His voice sounded calm, but it made me feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Brother," Zhong Shuhao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Yuxuan, "Leave this to me, you go and handle the company's affairs."

I felt that after Zhong Shuhao left, the ward fell into a dead silence. I tried hard to open my eyes, wanted to see Zhong Yuxuan, wanted to tell him that I was fine and asked him not to worry. However, no matter how hard I tried, my eyelids seemed to be sewn shut and I couldn't open them.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally felt a glimmer of light. I tried to open my eyes, but the scene in front of me made me burst into tears. Zhong Yuxuan, the man who was always full of vigor and vitality, was lying beside my bed at this moment. His hair was messy, and there was a layer of blue stubble on his chin. He looked much more haggard.

He held my hand tightly, his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, but he held back his tears and murmured over and over again: "Luo Xue, wake up, please wake up? I beg you, don't leave me alone..."

My heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, and it hurt so much that I couldn't breathe. I wanted to raise my hand, to smooth his frown, to tell him that I was fine, but my body seemed to be out of control and I couldn't move.

“I’m sorry,” I heard my own hoarse voice, “for making you worry.”

Hearing my voice, Zhong Yuxuan raised his head suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by worry. "How do you feel? Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll go call a doctor!"

I wanted to tell him that I was fine, but my voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the air. I fell into a coma again, and the darkness swallowed me. I felt my hand being tightly held by Zhong Yuxuan, and his body temperature was transmitted to me through his skin, making me feel a little warm and at ease.

I seemed to see a vague figure walking towards me against the light, anxiously calling my name, but I couldn't see his face clearly. I wanted to catch him, but I couldn't, and could only watch him get farther and farther away from me...

When I regained consciousness, I felt like I was trapped in a thick fog, and my body felt heavy as if it was filled with lead. I tried to open my eyes, but found that my eyelids were stuck to something and I couldn't open them. In my ears, Zhong Yuxuan's anxious calls and the regular ticking of the instruments intertwined, like a sad sonata, echoing in my ears.

I tried to respond to him, to tell him I was fine and not to worry, but my throat felt like it was burned, dry and unbearable, and I couldn't make any sound. I could only watch him, watching his face twisted with worry, watching his eyes redden, watching his hands tightly holding mine, as if I would disappear if he let go.

"Mr. Zhong, don't worry, I have contacted the best team of experts from abroad. They will be here soon. Miss Li will be fine." A strange voice sounded, with a hint of firmness and strength, which ignited a glimmer of hope in my originally desperate heart.

I tried to open my eyes to see who was talking in my ear, but my eyelids seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock and I couldn't open them. I could only hear the voice continue to say: "I am Lin Xiaofeng, a friend of Mr. Zhong. What you need to do now is to stay calm, trust the doctor, and believe in Miss Li. She will definitely get better."

Lin Xiaofeng? I tried to search for this name in my mind, but I found that I had no impression of this person. I only remembered the firmness and strength in his voice, which seemed to have lit a lamp of hope for me in this desperate darkness.

The next few days were like a near-death experience for me. I could feel all kinds of instruments working on my body, and I could hear the busy footsteps and low-pitched discussions of doctors and nurses, but I could not open my eyes, speak, or move. I could only lie on the bed like a lifeless puppet, at the mercy of others.

I felt that Zhong Yuxuan was always by my side, his hand never left mine, his body temperature was transmitted to me through his skin, making me feel a little warm and at ease. I heard him calling my name over and over again, his voice was hoarse and tired, but full of worry and love.

"Luo Xue, please, wake up, please?" His voice was trembling, with a strong nasal tone, "I can't live without you, you can't leave me alone..."

His voice was like a sharp knife, piercing my heart. I wanted to respond to him, wanted to tell him that I was fine, but I could do nothing. I could only watch him, watching his face filled with fatigue and despair, watching his eyes filled with bloodshot, watching his hair messy, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

I knew that I couldn't sleep like this any longer, and I couldn't let him worry about me any more. I tried to open my eyes, to give him a comforting smile, to tell him that I was fine, and that I would definitely get better.

However, my body seemed to be out of control. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open my eyes, speak, or move. I felt like I was trapped in a dark abyss, with no hope or way out...

I felt like I was trapped in an invisible cage, with everything in the outside world so close to me, yet so far away. I could hear Zhong Yuxuan's tired whispers, and feel his tight grip on my hand, conveying a reassuring warmth. But I also heard other voices, those cold, sharp, like the venom of a venomous snake.

"I told you, marrying a woman of unknown origin will cause trouble sooner or later!" A sarcastic female voice sounded, and I didn't have to guess hard to know that the voice belonged to Zhong Yuxuan's aunt, a woman who only cared about the family's interests and regarded me as a thorn in her side.

"That's right, Yuxuan, look at what you have done to your company now! It's all because of this woman!" another voice echoed, with undisguised gloating.

My heart was chilled. It turned out that during the time I was unconscious, Zhong Yuxuan not only had to endure the pain of losing me, but also had to face the attacks from the family. I tried hard to open my eyes and tell them that it was not my fault and that they should stop blaming Zhong Yuxuan. However, my body seemed to no longer belong to me. No matter how hard I tried, I could not move at all.

"Enough!" Zhong Yuxuan stood up suddenly, his voice low and full of majesty, "Luo Xue is my wife, my family, I will not allow anyone to slander her!"

"Yuxuan, you..." Zhong Yuxuan's aunt wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Zhong Yuxuan's cold eyes.

"I tell you," Zhong Yuxuan looked around at everyone and said firmly, "I will not give up Luo Xue, nor will I give up our children. I will protect them in my own way, no matter what the cost!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, like he was taking an oath, but more like he was encouraging himself. I knew that for me and the child, he would do his best.

In the next few days, I felt like a small boat drifting in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time. I could feel Zhong Yuxuan's anxiety and fatigue. He stayed by my side every day and refused to leave for a moment. I knew that he not only had to take care of me, but also had to deal with the company's affairs and face the pressure within the family. His pressure can be imagined.

I wish I could share some of his burden, even if it was just a little bit. However, I could only lie in bed like a useless person, unable to do anything. I could only watch him running around for me and the children, watching him become thinner and thinner, watching his face filled with fatigue and exhaustion...

I secretly made up my mind that I must get better soon, for Zhong Yuxuan, for myself, and for our unborn child. My consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, as if I was struggling in endless darkness. I heard Zhong Yuxuan on the phone intermittently. He lowered his voice, but his tone revealed a frightening fatigue and weakness.

"Shuhao, how is the company's shares going? ...Okay, I get it. No matter what, we must do it as soon as possible..." He paused, his voice as rough as if mixed with gravel, "Luo Xue's condition is not good, I need money..."

My heart sank suddenly. Was he going to sell his shares in the company for me? A sour feeling came over me. I tried hard to open my eyes, but I could only feel the heaviness of my eyelids in vain.

"Yuxuan, you can't sell anymore!" Zhong Shuhao's voice was full of worry, "You have already sold most of your properties and cars. If you continue like this, your financial situation will be in trouble!"

"I can't care about so much anymore," Zhong Yuxuan's voice was full of determination, "As long as I can save Luo Xue, I'm willing to give anything!"

I felt his hand trembling slightly, and a cold fear passed through his fingertips and spread throughout my body. My Yuxuan, the business elite who was once full of vigor and ambition, has now been dragged down by me. Is my existence really just constantly dragging him into the abyss?

In a daze, I heard some sporadic conversations.

"Boss Zhong, this is the information we found about that mysterious man..." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was very low, and I could only vaguely hear some key words, "underground transactions...foreign forces...very dangerous..."

My heart skipped a beat. Could my coma be related to that mysterious man? Why would Zhong Yuxuan take such a big risk to investigate him?

"I understand. I will handle this matter personally," Zhong Yuxuan's voice was as cold as ice. "You continue to investigate secretly. If there is any situation, notify me immediately."

In the darkness, I seemed to see a flame burning in his deep eyes. In that flame, there was anger, worry, and... a trace of unspeakable sadness.

Just as I was trying hard to grasp that ray of light, a piercing alarm suddenly exploded in my ears, accompanied by the doctor's exclamation: "The patient is in critical condition! Cardiac arrest! Prepare for rescue!"

My world, at that moment, was completely plunged into darkness...

Darkness, endless darkness, like sticky ink, wrapped me tightly. I tried hard to breathe, but it felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain.

"Luo Xue! Luo Xue!" I could faintly hear Zhong Yuxuan's anxious call in my ears. His voice was far away, yet it seemed very close. It was as if he was desperately trying to grab me and pull me out of this dark quagmire.

I wanted to respond to him, wanted to tell him that I was here, but I couldn't make any sound. My consciousness was like a lone boat, drifting in the storm, and could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.

"Mr. Zhong, you can't go in!" A strange voice sounded, with a bit of anxiety and obstruction, "The patient needs absolute quiet now..."

"Get out of here!" Zhong Yuxuan's voice was filled with anger, and then I felt a powerful force surrounding me, and his warm embrace pressed against my cheek, with a slightly moist touch.

"Luo Xue, hold on, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere..." His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

I wanted to reach out and touch him, to tell him that I was okay, but my body seemed to be out of control and I could only let the darkness swallow me.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt myself being gently placed on a soft place. The surrounding was filled with the smell of disinfectant and the ticking sound of instruments. All of this made me feel strange and scared.

"Doctor, how is she?" Zhong Yuxuan's voice sounded again, with a hint of fatigue and worry that could not be concealed.

"Mr. Zhong, the patient is in a very bad condition now," the doctor said solemnly. "She was already weak due to excessive blood loss, and this sudden cardiac arrest made things even worse. We are doing our best to rescue her, but you also have to be mentally prepared..."

Cardiac arrest? My heart sank suddenly, and a cold fear spread through my blood and spread throughout my body. What happened to me? Am I really going to die?

I don't want to die. I still have a lot of things to do. I haven't figured out my life story, I haven't found the person who hurt me, and I haven't been with Zhong Yuxuan...

"No, no, she will be fine..." Zhong Yuxuan's voice became a little flustered, like a muttering, or like a prayer.

I wanted to speak, wanted to tell him that I was fine, but my eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead and I couldn't open them.

My consciousness gradually blurred, and I seemed to see Zhong Yuxuan's anxious face magnified in front of my eyes, and then everything returned to darkness...
