Imperfect Desires

753 Whole Different Level

"Mr. Salvay, you should really close your eyes now and rest. It's not convenient for you to tire your eyes like this. Your injury isn't small. Please, pay attention to it," said one of the doctors that come to check on him. The other two doctors were silent including the female doctor who seemed awfully too quiet.

"Yes, even if you don't feel like sleeping, please close your eyes," said the other middle-aged doctor.

But the young female doctor stayed quiet. She hadn't said a word.

As for why Dr. Ling was in a daze... She still couldn't wrap her mind around what she heard hours ago from Nora and Xiao Li. She still didn't know about the whole situation because she couldn't ask just anyone. Xiao Li won't tell her nicely and she didn't want to bring up the name of Meihui before Ying. Even if Ying had moved on, she still didn't think it was nice to bring up her ex-love rival.

But her curiosity was eating her up now!

Suddenly, they heard the nurse's voice from the other side, "Miss, are you awake? Let me call Dr. Philip." The nurse pressed a buzzer while Darren stared at Xiu whose eyelashes moved slightly.

Xiu had just opened her eyes but the light in the room made her close her eyes again instantly. She squinted her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. It was an unfamiliar place. It wasn't a hospital but it looked like one from all the sounds she could hear from the machines around her.

Almost instantly, Dr. Philip had come inside to check her condition. Xiu hadn't moved her head, she could only see the people standing beside her bed. Dr. Philip slowly and carefully examined her. Then he asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xiu shook her head slowly. But before he could continue asking, her dry lips parted slowly and she asked in a hoarse voice, "My husband? My baby?"

Dr. Philip smiled at her and pointed towards Darren, "Your husband right there."

Xiu immediately turned her head around and looking at Darren's face, her eyes softened and she lifted the corner of her lips to smile. Seeing that smile on her face, Darren paused for a moment before his own lips curved into a smile.

"And your baby is also perfectly fine," she only looked away when she heard a female voice and looked at the unfamiliar doctor. She was the gynecologist especially brought here for Xiu. "You can relax now."

Dr. Philip continued to ask her questions and even asked her to try moving around. "Now, can you lift your left hand for me?"

Xiu nodded and tried to lift her arm. However, even after using all of her strength, she couldn't lift it. Seeing how she was getting panicked, the doctor considerably said, "It's okay. It must have gone numb. No need to worry at all."

Xiu looked worriedly at Darren who had heard it but he offered a gentle smile and blinked his eyes. Xiu didn't know why he wasn't talking but she felt like his eyes were sending him a message. As if he was saying, 'It's okay. I'm here with you.'

That one look from him was enough to put her heart at ease. She didn't think about it again. Since the doctor said it'd be fine, it'd be fine. She didn't need to worry at all. Besides, her Regan was by her side. Nothing could go wrong.

With those words, she managed to convince herself easily and calmed down.

"You and the baby need a lot of rest right now," said the doctor to Xiu and instructed her strictly to not try to move around. Although Xiu wasn't happy about it, she still agreed.

She was lazy and she loved to sleep as well but she didn't like sleeping in this condition. She couldn't do it when someone was forcing her to rest. So unfair but she couldn't voice it out.

She pouted her lips and looked at her husband who lifted his arm and made a gesture of patting her head. As if he was patting her head, her pout vanished and it transformed into a content smile.

When all the other doctors left after, only Dr. Ling was left behind who had long been focused on the interaction between this husband and wife. They didn't even say a word to each other and yet they made her feel like she was intruding into something important. Something very personal.

The way her patient looked at the other patient made her feel strange. Even after the doctors left, these two hadn't exchanged a single word. They just continued to look at each other.

Dr. Ling at first had been thinking that her patient was weird for insisting on seeing his wife for this long. But only now she realized the other patient was just as weird. Because all she was doing was also looking at her husband.

When the feeling of being the lightbulb became too strong, Dr. Ling turned around in a daze and walked out but hesitated at the door before turned back to say, "Enjoy your date! I won't be intruding any longer."

That was definitely a feeling of a date. She could practically see pink bubbles in the air. Coming out of the room, she leaned against the door and patted her chest, "That made me feel like a single dog on a whole different level!"
