Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 449: I'll be back

One day turn to two then three. The gray sky above Imperial did not clear as rain continue to tipple down onto the ground.

Inside Imperial Military Hospital, people entered and leaves out the building. Madam Lu's figure walks through the busy hospital as she makes her way to private ward. In her hand were two bags.

Stopping at the door, she knocks on it then opens to enter. However, she couldn't help sighing inside.

"Tian."

In the room, Lu Tian sat unmoving beside his wife while holding her hand. He looked so fatigue and drained like an empty shell without a soul.

Never has she seen her son look so weak like this.

Walking over to the bed, she looks at Yue Ling and she faintly smile, but her smile held sorrow as it's been three days and Yue Ling has not woken up.

Taking a deep breath, she place her hand on Lu Tian's shoulder.

"I brought some food and change of clothes for you."

She place the two bags on the table near Lu Tian then walks over to the other side of the bed. She sits down on the empty chair and reach her hand to stroke her daughter-in-law's head.

"Her colors have returned."

When Yue Ling first came to the hospital her face was as white as a sheet of paper, but now, she was slowly returning to usual color. However, the only thing left is for her to return to her conscious.

She sighs a smile and looks at her oldest son.

"Tian, I can look after her. Go and get some rest."

The moment his mother came into the room, Lu Tian had no once look at her. His red eyes remained on his wife as he does not want to miss any signs of her waking up.

However, hearing his mother, he slowly shook his head.

"I'm fine."

Hearing his reply, Madam Lu sighs inside. She knows that he is forcing himself to stay awake.

The day before, Doctor Dong had informed her and Old Lu that Lu Tian collapsed. He had not once slept since Yue Ling was brought to the hospital and he didn't drink or eat anything.

Thinking this, Madam Lu felt more pain her heart. No mother ever wants to see their strong child look this way. So weak and they can't do anything.

*knock knock

Suddenly, a knock sounds at the door and Grandfather Ji enters the room. He smiles a small smile to Madam Lu in greeting before walking over to the bed to look at his granddaughter.

"How is she doing today?"

Lu Tian stares at his wife and shook his head in answer to the old man.

Heaving a sigh, Grandfather Ji takes a step closer to the bed to look at his granddaughter. He couldn't help but sigh again then turn to look at Lu Tian and his heart tinge in pain for him.

The soldiers have reported about Lu Tian fainting. They also said he has not once stepped out of the room nor has he slept.

Grandfather Ji stares at Lu Tian and he knows how the boy is feeling.

When his wife was admitted to the hospital, he couldn't sleep or eat too. Whatever Lu Tian is going through, he (Grandfather Ji) has been in his (Lu Tian) shoes.

However, looking at his granddaughter, he decides to give it a try.

"It's been three days, go get some rest. If you don't want to sleep, at least eat something."
