"If you survive, we won't get divorced."
Almost simultaneously, the sense of oppression and suffocation that had been there just now suddenly vanished completely. The weight on his body gradually dissipated.
It was like being liberated.
He woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, the glaring lights forced him to close them again. The pain in his body made him let out a dry groan from his throat.
"You're awake?"
Ning Anmiao, who had been dozing lightly beside him, opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yan lying on the bed.
The doctor had also said that "Ning Anmiao" had been immersed in the water for a long time, and there were symptoms of hypothermia frostbite on the body.
Therefore, any slight movement of his, as long as it pulled the muscles, would cause excruciating pain.
Even so, there was not much change in Lu Yan's facial expression. He just frowned slightly.
He never wanted to show his weakness.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Seeing Lu Yan wake up, Ning Anmiao asked with concern, "Do you want me to call the doctor over?"
Lu Yan opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he found that his vocal cords seemed to be torn apart, and he could only make a hoarse sound: "No need."
Just saying these two words made his throat feel like it was on fire, and it was extremely painful.
Ning Anmiao also noticed this. She got up and poured him a glass of warm water. Just as she was about to hand it to him, her hand stopped in mid - air. After a few seconds, she took it back.
"I'll feed you."
Ning Anmiao remembered the doctor's advice before. She took out a small spoon from the cabinet again and fed Lu Yan water spoon by spoon.
"Open your mouth."
Having never received such treatment before, Lu Yan was a little flattered. He uncomfortably wanted to take the spoon and drink by himself, but he couldn't even lift his arm.
He had to compromise.
Ning Anmiao noticed the fleeting struggle in his eyes. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips curved slightly: "Do you want to do it yourself?"
Lu Yan didn't say a word.
Ning Anmiao didn't expose him either. She just fed him spoon by spoon and said, "You have large - area hypothermia frostbite on your body. You won't be able to take care of yourself for the next few days."
"I've asked Assistant Song to take care of things at Xinghe. You can go back to work after you've recovered."
During the days when Lu Yan was in a coma, Miaomiao had handled things in an orderly manner.
This made Lu Yan very relieved.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his voice was too soft. Ning Anmiao couldn't hear him. So she had to put down the cup in her hand and lean over with her ear.
When she put her ear close, she heard two words. The voice was not loud, but it was very clear.
"Thank you."
Ning Anmiao's ears turned red. She sat back on the chair uncomfortably, her hands nervously folded on her legs, looking a little flustered.
Lu Yan took all this into his eyes. He watched Miaomiao's every move, and he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Miaomiao cared about him.
At the moment when he fell into the sea, he also thought he was going to die.
He even wondered if Miaomiao would blame him if he died.
Blame him for leaving her alone in the world and making her spend the rest of her life in the identity of "Lu Yan".
She would, after all, this could be considered ruining her life.
Originally, Ning Anmiao's life.
——
After drinking a few sips of water, Lu Yan's dry throat became a little moist, and he could barely speak.
"Miaomiao, I've made you worry."
His eyes looking at Ning Anmiao were soft, with indescribable joy.
Ning Anmiao pouted, her eyes misty. It was obvious that she was trying hard to hold back her emotions: "You deserve it. I don't care about you at all."
She was being duplicitous.
Lu Yan's heart seemed to be hit in an instant, and the last bit of hardness in his heart softened.
"Alright. If you're okay, I'll ask Assistant Song to come and take care of you. I still have to go back and draw."
Two days had passed since Lu Yan was in a coma until he woke up. Ning Anmiao had been guarding him for these two days.
He watched Ning Anmiao, who was deliberately putting on a straight face and about to leave. His eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pained look appeared on his face.
Ning Anmiao casually glanced up and noticed something wrong with his expression. She immediately put away the look on her face just now and asked worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable somewhere? I'll go and call the doctor for you."
"My heart hurts." His voice was soft, but his eyebrows were still tightly furrowed. It seemed that he was enduring the pain.
Heartache? Could it be angina?
Ning Anmiao was stunned. She looked at him a few more times, and a bad thought came to her mind.
She knew that her own body had always been very healthy; could it be that because of being soaked in the water for too long, some other diseases had developed in the body?
Remembering what the doctor had said before, that after the patient woke up, there might be other complications, she immediately became nervous.
"I'll call the doctor over for an examination."
Lu Yan watched Ning Anmiao walk out of the ward. His expression gradually returned to calm.
He didn't have a heartache at all.
He just...
wanted Ning Anmiao to accompany him more.
Soon, the attending doctor in charge of "Ning Anmiao" quickly came with a nurse. They did a thorough examination from head to toe, but found nothing wrong.
"At present, from the examination results, all of Miss Ning's indicators are normal, and there is no major problem with her body."
The doctor looked at the examination report and thought for a while: "Maybe because the coma lasted too long and the body has not fully recovered, there will be symptoms of short - term angina."
So that's it.
"Lu Yan" nodded, feeling relieved.
The doctor also instructed: "In the next few days, the family members should stay with the patient all the time. The damage caused by seawater frostbite to the human body is still very great, so we can't take it lightly."
"Okay." "Lu Yan" nodded in agreement.
After the doctor left, the little nurse in the ward just changed a bag of liquid and then left the ward. The room was left with only Lu Yan and Ning Anmiao again.
His throat still hadn't recovered, and Lu Yan's voice was still hoarse: "You don't have to worry about me. If you need to draw, just go back first. I'll be fine by myself."
When he said this, his voice was weak, and he looked extremely haggard.
Ning Anmiao stared at him for a few moments.
"Forget it. I'll ask Secretary Song to send the drawing tablet to the hospital."
Ning Anmiao compromised.
She comforted herself again and again in her heart. In Lu Yan's current state, it was even difficult for him to go to the toilet by himself. If someone else took care of him, wouldn't her body be completely exposed?
In this case, it was more appropriate for her to take care of him herself.
Seeing that she no longer shouted that she wanted to leave, Lu Yan's eyebrows relaxed imperceptibly.
"Miaomiao, I had a dream when I was in a coma." Lu Yan's voice was calm, "I dreamed of you."
"Yeah. What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that you told me that as long as I could survive, you wouldn't get divorced and would stay with me well."
"..."
Ning Anmiao was speechless for a while. She twitched the corner of her mouth.
Wasn't she just praying in her heart at that time? How did Lu Yan hear it?
Could it be that he could read minds?
