Chapter 692: Chapter 692: I Won’t Let You Leave Me
Edie wished the light in the operating room could be turned off as soon as possible. But she was still so worried.
As minutes went by, the light in the operating was finally turned off. Edie heard the sound. She stood up immediately. She squatted for such a long time that her legs got numb. When she stood up, she almost fell down.
Noticing this, the nurse held her up immediately.
Edie rushed to the doctor and held his hands, nervously, "What’s his condition?"
"The bullet was inserted deeply into his back. His viscus was injured. But he has already gotten out of danger. But he still needed to be sent into ICU. We needed to do further inspection on him."
After telling Edie this information, the doctor turned around and left. The nurse pushed the crash truck to send Stuart into the ICU.
Edie followed them. The man’s face was pale and peaceful as if he wasn’t injured. He just fell asleep right now.
Then she changed sterile clothes and walked into the ICU with the nurse. She held his hands tightly and put his hands on her face. His hands were so cold that Edie couldn’t help herself trembling. She blinked her eyes. Warm tears poured out from her eyes.
His fingers felt her tears. He started rubbing on her face with his fingers.
Edie froze immediately. She looked towards Stuart in shock.
His eyes were still closed tightly. Edie couldn’t find any sign that he would wake up at present. He wiped her tears because of his habit.
He was still in a coma. But he did this because he has already done this for a long time.
Edie didn’t want to cry at the beginning. But seeing this small movement, she could no longer control her tears.
She cried so hard. His hands would move on her face to wipe her tears away, unconsciously, as if this had been his instinct.
Edie didn’t know what to say. She stared at him with her reddened eyes. She wanted to stop crying. Because tears would have blurred her vision, she wanted to look at him clearly.
At midnight...
Stuart got out of the coma and woke up. When he opened his eyes, he could smell the nosey disinfectant. He immediately realized he was in the hospital.
He wanted to get up. But he felt something on his arms. He raised his eyes, seeing Edie.
Edie didn’t know how long she had been crying. Her eyes were swallowed. Her eyelashes were still wet. Stuart could still see the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Even though she fell asleep, she was still anxious and nervous.
Seeing this, Stuart’s heart was tendered. He took his hands back and held Edie onto the bed regardless of the extreme pain on his body.
When Stuart held her onto the bed, Edie suddenly got so nervous. Her eyebrows were locked. She grabbed his clothes tightly with her little hands.
"Please...please wake up. Please recover. Don’t leave me alone. Don’t leave Laty and me. Please."
"What could I do...if you leave... Stuart...."
She kept murmuring his name. Tears oozed out from her closed eyes. It looked like she had a nightmare.
Hearing these words, his beloved wife said, Stuart’s heart was tendered instantly.
He wrapped her hands with his big hands, holding her into his arms. Then he said in a slight voice.
"I won’t let you leave me. Never."
He held her into arms and fell into sleep.
The next morning, Edie woke up quite early. She wanted to clean Stuart’s body. But when she woke up, she found something wrong. When has she gotten on the bed? Who was holding her in arms?
All of a sudden, she felt so scared that she didn’t even dare to take a breath. She started suspecting whether she was dreaming or not.
She struggled for a while. At this moment, she heard a voice.
"Sleep tight, baby."
Well...
She remembered Stuart was still unconscious last night...
Why could he speak now? Besides, his voice sounded clear, sweet, and sexy.
Was she dreaming?
If this was her dream,
She wished that she could live in this dream forever.
Her eyes were wet. She surrounded the man’s waist, burying her small face into his arms and asked carefully. She didn’t want to disturb the dream. She didn’t want to break the dream.
"Stuart, I must be dreaming. Otherwise, it is impossible for me to lie in your arms. Do you know you were covered all over with blood? You freak me out. How could a man still survive after losing those blood? Your feet and hands were all so cold. So it was my heart. I am so frightened that you would not wake up again."
Hearing these words, Stuart’s back froze. He didn’t move, letting her hug his body and cry.
She must freak out.
He held her body and rubbed her brain with her big hands, "I am fine now. Close your eyes. Imagine that nothing ever happens."
"When I wake up, could you stand in front of me, smiling at me? What nonsense am I talking about?" she laughed at herself.
It was her dream, though, she was already satisfied enough. She didn’t dare to ask for more. freёwebnovel.com
She thought it was impossible for Stuart to wake up again.
However, at the moment, Stuart started talking.
"When you wake up, I would stand in front of you, smiling."
Hearing these words, Edie raised the corner of her mouth and hugged him tightly. Tears of happiness fell down from her face.
Soon, she fell into sleep.
She almost broke down yesterday. She cried for such a long time that she felt so tired today. Therefore, she fell asleep soon this time.
At this moment, the nurse came into the ward. Seeing that he had taken off his oxygen mask and hung the intravenous drip on his hand, the nurse was so shocked.
This was so incredible. How strong was this man? He recovered so quickly, like an iron man.
The nurse wanted to give an injection to Stuart. But she saw a girl in his arms. It was his family.
She froze. As she hesitated what to do, Stuart started talking.
"Please be careful. I don’t want to wake her up."
The man fixed his eyes on Edie all the time while talking. His eyes were so gentle and full of love.
When the nurse gave him an injection, he didn’t even throw an eye on the injection. Instead, he kept focusing on the girl in his arms. He moved the hair on her forehead and covered her body with his quilt to protect her from the coldness.
"Sir, you can be transferred to the general ward."
"I know. But I want to wait here till she wakes up," Stuart said in a slight voice.
The nurse turned around and left. Stuart took his phone out to send a text to Deik. He asked Deik to prepare some digestive food for Edie. He thought Edie would be starving after waking up.
When Stuart called Deik, Laty was sitting next to Deik. She stood up on the sofa and took his phone directly.
"Dad, where is my mom?" she asked Stuart anxiously.
"In my arms."
"What....what...in your arms? What have you done to her?"
Laty asked Stuart angrily.
She got alerted immediately, like a crazy little beast.
"Sleep together for one night," Stuart confessed to Laty.
"..."
Hearing these, Laty wanted to hit her head against the wall. She wanted to burst into tears. They were so shameless. Stuart dared to say these words to her. So shame on him.
Did Stuart know the word "shame?"
Laty blushed for them.
As Laty didn’t know what to reply to Stuart, Stuart said.
"Wait for us. I need to sleep with your mother for a few minutes."
Then, Stuart hangs down the phone without any hesitation, regardless of how awkward his daughter felt at the moment.
He held Edie in his arms and fell asleep again.
