Chapter 837 - 880: What’s Wrong with My Face?
Looking at the harmonious scene before him, the butler couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.To conveniently take care of Ruan Zhitong, Mu Beiting didn’t dismiss the butler and had him stay to lend a hand.
After returning to the ward with Mu Beiting, the butler saw Ruan Zhitong lying on the hospital bed at a glance and hurriedly asked with concern, "Sir, is Madam alright? What’s wrong with her face?"
"She’s fine!" Mu Beiting replied lightly, then sat down by the bed holding little Chu Yi. He gently touched Ruan Zhitong’s hand resting by the bedside with Chu Yi’s small hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as little Chu Yi’s hand touched Ruan Zhitong’s, her cute little eyebrows immediately furrowed into a frown.
Taking in Chu Yi’s expression fully, Mu Beiting gently kissed her little face again and softly asked, "What’s wrong? Did seeing Mommy hurt make you upset?"
Little Chu Yi did not respond, but her eyebrows showed no sign of relaxing.
Seeing little Chu Yi looking somewhat unwilling, Mu Beiting had to take back her small hand and held her soft little body in his arms to play with her.
Perhaps heeding little Chu Yi’s call, shortly after Chu Yi and the butler arrived, Ruan Zhitong’s fingers, resting by the bedside, started to move slightly.
Although he was holding little Chu Yi, Mu Beiting’s attention was always on Ruan Zhitong! When he saw her fingers move, he immediately stood up, handed Chu Yi to the butler, leaned over the bed, gently patted her uninjured left cheek, and softly called, "Anxin... Anxin...!"
At the call of Mu Beiting’s hoarse voice, Ruan Zhitong’s tightly shut eyelids lightly fluttered.
Seeing her eyes move, Mu Beiting’s lips finally revealed a long-lost smile, and his voice became softer and gentler, "Anxin, wake up! Anxin...!"
Under Mu Beiting’s continuous calling, her tightly shut eyes finally slowly opened.
The moment Ruan Zhitong opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Mu Beiting’s slightly haggard eyes.
Maybe because she had just awakened, Ruan Zhitong couldn’t quite discern the situation before her, and her eyes held confusion and disconnect!
Mu Beiting gently wiped her uninjured left cheek, softly asking, "Anxin, you’re finally awake! You finally woke up, how does your body feel now? Anywhere uncomfortable, I’ll call the doctor!"
Ruan Zhitong opened her lips, trying to speak, but couldn’t make any sound!
Seeing her trying to speak but unable to, Mu Beiting quickly said with heartache, "Don’t force yourself to speak. After being in the water for so long and not speaking for such a while, your throat must feel uncomfortable. Wait until it feels better to try speaking!"
Ruan Zhitong blinked her watery big eyes, as if trying several times, finally managing to make a sound, "Hus...husband...! Where am I?" But due to not speaking for a long time, her voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.
Mu Beiting softly asked, "Don’t you remember?"
"I... I...!" Ruan Zhitong looked at the handsome face so close to her, and slowly, the events at the ship’s restaurant began to surface in her mind.
She remembered meeting Su Yuexin’s mother at the ship’s restaurant, having a dispute, and then being pushed into the river by her! After falling into the river, she remembered nothing!
Ruan Zhitong said in confusion, slightly perplexed, "I... I remember, I think I was pushed into the river by Su Yuexin’s mother! I can’t remember anything else!"
Mu Beiting gently kissed her forehead, comforting, "Forget if you can’t remember! It’s all in the past now! You’re fine now, everything will get better! It’s my fault for not protecting you well!"
Ruan Zhitong reached out her hand, touching Mu Beiting’s handsome face that was so close, as if touching the most precious treasure in the world, speaking slightly excitedly, "It’s not your fault! No one could have known we’d meet her at the ship’s restaurant! Aren’t I fine now?"
This face, she hadn’t touched for thirteen whole years! Previously, this face only belonged to her exclusively! Later, it was taken over by Ye Anxin!
Now, she had finally succeeded in winning him back!
No matter the hardships she suffered in between, she didn’t mind. As long as she could have him back, she was willing to live even under someone else’s face.
Taking in her expression completely, Mu Beiting didn’t mind, thinking she was just agitated from narrowly escaping death and seeing him again.
"Lie down for a while, let the doctor examine your situation first!" Saying this, Mu Beiting gently pressed the red button above Ruan Zhitong’s hospital bed.
Soon, a doctor and nurse came in from outside.
Seeing the doctor and nurse enter, Mu Beiting stepped aside, expressionless, "My wife is awake, please check her current condition?"
"Alright!" The doctor nodded, walked to the bedside, and performed a series of examinations on Ruan Zhitong!
After completing the examination, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, smiling, "Mr. Mu, rest assured, since Madam is already awake, it proves she’s no longer in danger! However, she is very weak now and needs recuperation, and the injury on her face will also require some time to heal!"
"Injury on my face, what’s wrong with my face?" Upon hearing the doctor, Ruan Zhitong reached for her face, but unprepared and using too much force, touched the injury, causing immediate cold sweat from the pain.
Mu Beiting quickly pulled her hand down, softly saying, "Don’t touch it, the injury on your face hasn’t fully healed yet! It would definitely hurt to touch now!"
Ruan Zhitong tightly gripped Mu Beiting’s hand, urgently saying, "Mirror, husband, give me a mirror. I want to see what’s wrong with my face!"
"...!" Mu Beiting slightly frowned, without making any move.
Seeing Mu Beiting ignoring her, Ruan Zhitong lifted the quilt covering her and was about to get off the bed to rush to the bathroom.
Perceiving her intention, Mu Beiting firmly pressed her shoulders, putting her back to sit on the bed, and then gave a look to the doctor. The doctor glanced at the nurse, who nodded and walked out of the ward. When she returned, she held a mirror.
With trembling hands, Ruan Zhitong took the mirror handed by the nurse and then put it in front of her!
Upon seeing her reflection in the mirror, where her whole right cheek was swollen with scars of varying depths, she was first stunned, then shook her head, eyes wide open at her reflection, incredulously muttering, "Impossible, impossible, how could it be like this? Impossible? Why is it like this!"
Fearing she might react rashly, Mu Beiting approached the bed, held her trembling body, and nervously comforted, "Anxin, rest assured, your face will be fine. The doctor said as long as you take your medicine and apply the ointment on time, it will completely heal, it just takes a longer time!"
