Li Tingyan was utterly exhausted by the end, and Nianyang remained unresponsive. The silence drove him to despair as if the most important thing in his life was being slowly stripped away from his soul.
The pain was heart-wrenching.
He hung his head, and a tear rolled down, landing on Nianyang’s face. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly...
At that mont, the heart monitor beside them suddenly ca back to life.
The Doctor was overjoyed, "The patient’s heartbeat has returned, continue the transfusion..."
Li Tingyan quickly lifted his head and indeed saw that Nianyang’s complexion gradually regained its color. He didn’t dare to blink, fearing that if he did, he might lose her again.
It wasn’t clear how long they had been busy, but then the Doctor excitedly announced, "Fantastic, we’ve resuscitated the patient!"
Li Tingyan finally exhaled deeply, and a profound sense of relief followed by fear washed over him. He looked at Nianyang on the operating table with red eyes, feeling both grateful and overwheld.
Thank God, his wife was okay. She was okay. His heart began to beat again, his warmth returned, all his senses started functioning again...
And just then, Li Tingyan felt the hand he was holding move slightly. Nianyang weakly opened her eyes, and he felt his heart skip a beat. He leaned forward quickly to be closer, "Nini, you’re awake..."
Nianyang looked at Li Tingyan with a scattered gaze and kept looking for quite a while. Her lips trembled, and she then whimpered in grievance,
"Ayan, they wanted to steal my ring, the ring you bought . I wouldn’t give it to them, so they hit and tried to cut my finger off. It hurt so much, but I just couldn’t give them the ring..."
Hearing this felt like a knife was twisted in Li Tingyan’s heart.
Tears burst from Li Tingyan’s eyes, "Silly wife, it’s just a ring. If they wanted it, you should have given it to them. Why put yourself through such pain? It breaks my heart..."
Nianyang whimpered stubbornly, "No way, I can’t give it. There’s only one ring, and if I give it to them, I won’t have it anymore..."
Li Tingyan stroked her head and soothed her in a low, choked voice, "You’ll never be without a ring. I’ll buy you more. I’ll buy you a car full of rings so you can choose any you like..."
Nianyang suddenly started crying quietly, murmuring with infinite sadness, "But you said I’m not worthy, that you didn’t want to give it to . I picked it up myself. You don’t want anymore..."
"No, I didn’t say that. I could never not want you..." Li Tingyan rubbed the diamond ring on her finger, regretting it to the point of wishing he could kill himself. What awful suffering she’d endured to protect his ring.
Yet, he, this bastard, had said such terrible things!
He truly deserved to die; it should be him who is unworthy.
Such a good wife, one who cared so much about him, how could she be the indecisive woman he had imagined!
He had been so foolish, almost causing irreparable consequences.
Nianyang was so drained this ti; after uttering just a few words, she quickly fell back into a slumber and was moved to a ward.
Li Tingyan intended to stay with Nianyang, but he received a call from Xiao Wu, saying Ning Xia had returned and was packing to leave secretly.
"Bring Ning Xia to the holding room imdiately. Make sure she doesn’t escape. I’ll be right there!"
