Chapter 213: 213. Stay by her side without leaving

"Don’t move, Qiao Xu, your wound is about to split open."

He spoke softly, his voice hoarse, as he leaned in close to her ear.

Qiao Xu seemed not to hear him, tears welling up more fiercely in her eyes, and her lips repeating the same phrase over and over—

She hated him.

"Qiao Xu!"

"Lu Moqing, Lu Moqing..."

She cried bitterly, a sight he had never seen before. Sober, she was always cold and aloof, always looking down on others with disdain.

This time, when he took away their son from her, it seemed as if he had robbed her of all her faith.

Lu Moqing frowned, a twinge of guilt rising in his heart.

After a while, he spoke softly to the emotionally out-of-control Qiao Xu, who was asleep. "Alright, I’ll give the child back to you. I won’t take him away. Just lie down and don’t move."

Though she didn’t acknowledge his words Qiao Xu didn’t make a fuss, and her intense emotions gradually subsided. Her expression also softened somewhat.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, her head throbbed like it was about to explode, the pain unbearable.

The right part of her forehead ached even more, as if the skin had been torn apart by sharp forceps, causing her to let out an involuntary moan.

She raised her hand to cover the throbbing pain and heard a deep, familiar male voice, filled with concern, above her face, "Are you awake?"

Qiao Xu’s motion suddenly froze, and her slightly closed eyes widened in surprise. They met the deep, sharp gaze of his eyes, and she was in a stupor for a long time before finally snapping out of it.

It wasn’t until Lu Moqing’s voice came again, "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor," that she came back to her senses.

In the dim light of the ward, Qiao Xu could see her pale reflection in his eyes, as well as the bandaged wound on her forehead, which looked extremely jarring.

"Lu Moqing?"

Her voice was hoarse and confused, not understanding why Lu Moqing would be in front of her and what was happening to her.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lu Moqing said in a low voice, "You got drunk and had a car accident on the road."

His answer made Qiao Xu’s eyes widen in surprise, and she sat in bed, unable to remember how she had gotten into an accident.

The pain in her forehead came in waves, and she couldn’t help but furrow her brow, gently touching the wound and letting out a few pained moans.

Looking at her like this, Lu Moqing felt a pang of pity and couldn’t help but say, "The doctor said you have a mild concussion. Lie down and rest, and don’t move too much."

Lu Moqing’s words made Qiao Xu pause, and as she looked at him again, there was a complex, icy expression in her eyes.

Had Lu Moqing been by her side the whole time?

Was he trying to take her child and then play the good guy in front of her?

Lu Moqing sensed the sudden coldness in her eyes, and felt a shiver in his heart, guessing what she might be thinking.

The next second, Qiao Xu said, "Thank you for tonight. It’s very late, President Lu, you should go back."

Watching her, Lu Moqing suppressed the loneliness and slight pain in his heart, and after a moment, laughed coldly. "You’ve become quite adept at burning bridges."

When she was drunk, she was as docile as a child, but the moment she sobered up, she wanted him to leave.
