Chapter 199 Now

Yu Chen"s eyes slowly opened. The soft light was blinding so he immediately closed them again but inside the room, he could hear some commotion, letting him know that he wasn"t alone.

"Boss!!! Don"t close your eyes again. Please, open them, open them again!!" the voice was deafening. He knew that the one talking was none other than Gu Wei. Why was he so loud?

"C"mon boss!!! I said open then again!!! Yang Jin, should I shake him?! What if he falls into a deep sleep again?!"

"Calm down, Gu Wei."

"But Yang Jin! He finally opened his eyes. We should keep him awake!!! I think it"s better if we help him up now and shake him or else he might fall asleep again!!!"

Yu Chen"s brows creased harder. Gu Wei"s thunderous voice was really annoying. He wanted to tell him to shut his mouth but for some reason, he found it hard to speak; his throat was dry.

"Kyuu, drag this man out of here and wait outside." He heard Yang Jin"s voice and then the room was quiet again.

Yu Chen finally opened his eyes. He could now see men in white coats surrounding him.

"Yu Chen, how are you feeling?" Yang Jin asked when Yu Chen attempted to rise. "Please stay still Yu Chen. You"ve been in a coma for four months so we still need to examine your body."

What the doctor said made Yu Chen"s eyes narrow. What did he say? Four months? He"s been comatose for four months?

The memories began flas.h.i.+ng in his head. As the doctors fussed around him, Yu Chen started to remember that they were on their way to Snowflakes village when they encountered an accident. He remembered that he s.h.i.+elded Xiaolei before everything turned dark. Xiaolei… that"s right, where was his Xiaolei?

The machine hooked up to him started beeping erratically, causing the doctors to look alarmed.

"Yu Chen, calm down. This will be over soon. Wait a bit please." Yang Jin said and thankfully, Yu Chen didn"t attempt to rise anymore as he impatiently waited for the doctors to finish what they were doing.

"W-where"s Xiaolei?" he finally asked after drinking a sip of water. His expression looked troubled and his heartbeat didn"t calm down.

"Don"t worry about her. Miss Luo is alright. She just left for work."

Yu Chen relaxed as soon as he heard Yang Jin"s rea.s.surance.

When everything was finally done, Yu Chen insisted on getting up. The doctors were surprised when he managed to move by himself.

After the doctors finally left, Yu Chen"s men entered one after another, all looking extremely emotional upon seeing their big boss finally awake.

"Boss!!! You"re finally awake!!!" Gu Wei sobbed like a little child, but Yu Chen only looked at him for a while before he turned to Yang Jin.

"What happened that day?" he asked and the man started telling him about what happened after that accident.

"If not for Miss Luo, we didn"t know if you were going to make it alive. She was the one who called Mr. Zaki. She knew that he had an AB negative blood type so she quickly asked him for help. We were blessed because Mr. Zaki happened to be nearby as well. Everything settled down since you fell into a coma. The company and everyone are all in good condition. We were all waiting for you to wake up."

As Yang Jin"s words died down, Gu Wei b.u.t.ted in.

"But Miss Luo is not in a good condition, boss," he said and Yu Chen immediately looked at him anxiously.

"What do you mean?" he asked, extremely worried.

"Boss, you have no idea what Miss Luo has gone through every day since you fell into a coma!" Gu Wei replied with a very emotional tone. "She has been working too hard every day, coming home very late at night and always falling asleep right here in this chair talking to you. The thought of you not waking up again must be d.a.m.n hard for her. She"d been living with you in this hospital since we brought you here. That"s her bed." He pointed to the small bed across his and Yu Chen felt his already aching heart squeezing even harder in pain.

"Did you hear what she said to you this morning before she left?" Gu Wei asked. Yu Chen fell silent for a while before he shook his head.

Gu Wei brought out his phone and hesitantly gave it to him. "I happened to be here when Miss Luo was crying. I am so d.a.m.n touched by her words and I found it very painful to watch her like that so I secretly filmed her. I know you couldn"t hear her so I decided to film her. Because I"m kind of angry, I want you to see it for yourself and reflect on the pain you caused her! I know it"s not your fault but it"s still your fault for making her wait." Gu Wei sounded like a mother scolding her son for unintentionally hurting his girl.

He then pushed everyone outside the room to give Yu Chen some alone time.

Upon the door closing, he finally tapped on the video. He saw Xiaolei"s back as she sat on the chair right next to his bed. Her face buried in her palms as she bent forward, leaning her forehead on the edge of his bed.

"Tell me… what should I do for you to wake up? Tell me please, I will do anything…"

As Yu Chen watched her cry and heard the anguish in her voice, the pain in his chest kept intensifying. He felt every single word she said go straight to his heart and the pain he felt was unbearable. He didn"t know that while he was sleeping, she was suffering like this. He didn"t know that she was this hurt because of him.

"… it"s not working. I can"t stop missing you and it"s killing me. I really want you to wake up now."

The video finally ended. Yu Chen raised both his hands to his head. He tugged his hair hard as he bent down. He stayed like that for a long time and then, he weakly removed all the things that were hooked up to him and climbed out of his bed. He wobbled as soon as he stood up and almost fell. Gladly, he managed to support himself by holding onto the bed.

He waited for a while before he tried to lift his feet and stepped forward.

He wanted to go see his Xiaolei NOW… or else, this pain in his chest would kill him.
