Susu accepted the cloth pouch and said with a pang of pain, "I'll give it to Tianyi. You can go about your business with peace of mind."
After Ai Yifeng left, Susu sat there feeling empty again. She gently brushed over every ornament and every piece of paper on Tianyi's desk, each bearing his trace.
She empathized with how he must have worked day and night at his desk, which had given Aoxiang its current strength and allowed her and the children to live a stable life.
She tightly clutched a pen he had used, praying that heaven would allow him to recover.
Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the landline number, she knew it was from the private hospital.
Her mind buzzed, terrified that something had happened to Tianyi.
"Mrs. Qin, when can you come back?"
Susu heard the voice of the nurse in charge of Tianyi's ward and said tremblingly, "I'll be back soon. Is my husband, is he alright?"
"Oh, Mr. Qin just woke up and is insisting on being discharged," the nurse said. "We can only try to appease him. Please come quickly and persuade him."
"Okay, I'll be back at the hospital right away." Susu stood up abruptly, unable to believe it. Tianyi had woken up, he had woken up!
She immediately rushed to the private hospital.
Upon arriving, she parked the car at the hospital entrance and ran to Tianyi's ward in one breath. She saw Tianyi sitting on the hospital bed, roaring angrily, "Send me back immediately! I don't want to stay here!"
Doctors and nurses were trying to restrain him by the bedside, patiently explaining to him, trying to get him to lie down.
But he wouldn't listen. He tried to get out of bed, but because he couldn't see, his foot hit the low cabinet beside the bed.
Susu felt a pang of heartache watching him. She held back tears and tried to make her voice sound natural and cheerful, "Tianyi, be careful!"
Hearing her voice, Qin Tianyi quieted down for a few seconds. However, he quickly reacted, his eyes widening as he looked towards her, still trying to pretend he could see.
"You're here. Take me back, there's still a lot of work to be done at the company."
The doctors and nurses all looked at her. "Mrs. Qin..."
"It's okay, you can all go out. I'll take care of him," Susu said with a smile.
The doctors and nurses withdrew. Susu quickly walked to the bedside and took his hand. "Honey, I know everything. Don't worry, I've already presided over the important meeting at the company today..."
Tianyi shook off her hand and said irritably, "What day is it today? Even if I can't return to Aoxiang for now, what about Xiao Anjing? Where the hell is he!"
Susu didn't mind his temper and held his hand again. "He's gone abroad, trying to bring a neurosurgeon to Lancheng."
Tianyi pushed her away again excitedly. As he waved his hands, unable to see, one hand accidentally hit Susu's shoulder. He roared, "Why did you make decisions for me without consulting me! I won't have surgery, and I don't need him to invite any experts! Tell him to come back, tell him to come back to me!"
Saying that, he tried to get out of bed again. He kicked away the cabinet blocking him, stood up, and fumbled his way out of the ward.
Susu, disregarding everything, hugged him tightly, crying, "Tianyi, Tianyi! You can't get so agitated. Do you know how dangerous your condition is right now?"
"I'm fine. I'm in good health. Nothing is wrong," Tianyi no longer tried to break free. His tone softened slightly. "You and Anjing shouldn't listen to the doctors' nonsense. I'm just temporarily dizzy, and my inability to see is also temporary..."
"This isn't temporary. You were in a coma for three days and three nights, and now that you've woken up, you still can't see!" Susu said, sobbing uncontrollably. "Do you dislike me and the children? Are you abandoning us... Didn't we promise to be together forever? You want to leave me..."
Tianyi's heart ached, and he calmed down. He said in a low voice, "How could that be?"
Susu took a deep breath and said, "If that's not the case, why did you hide it from me? Why won't you cooperate with the doctors and get treatment? Why?"
Tianyi was speechless for a moment and hugged her tightly.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I was afraid that even with surgery, it would be hopeless. I just wanted to arrange everything for you while I could still move normally... Even if I'm gone, you can still live well..."
Susu quickly pushed him away and covered his mouth with her hands, not letting him say any more. She shook her head frantically, "Don't talk nonsense! You'll be fine! I don't need you to arrange anything for me, I just want you to stay with me forever!"
Tianyi reached out his hands, searching around, wanting to grasp her. "Silly girl, even if we can grow old together, one of us will always leave before the other. If I leave before you, isn't it right to arrange things for you first?"
"No, no! Why are you so selfish? I won't let you go before me. Only I can go before you." After saying that, Susu couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Tianyi's hands searched around in the air for a long time, but still couldn't touch her. He said anxiously, "Don't be sad. Let me hug you."
"No!" Susu wiped away her tears and said, "If you don't lie down obediently in the hospital bed, I'll never talk to you again and run far away. You won't find me."
Saying that, Susu forcefully rang the ward door, pretending she was about to escape.
Tianyi panicked, like a headless bee, and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
Seeing him about to hit the wall, Susu grabbed his arm tightly and said angrily, "Why are you running? There's a wall in front of you."
Tianyi finally caught her and pulled her tightly into his embrace again, saying domineeringly, "Try to run away, and I'll find you even at the ends of the earth!"
Susu wiped her snot and tears into his embrace and asked, "Then will you be obedient and cooperate with the doctor?"
"Yes, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say." Tianyi finally compromised.
Susu said fiercely again, "When Anjing brings the specialist, you must have the surgery."
"Okay, if my wife says it's necessary, then it's necessary." Tianyi indulged her, feeling his chest clothes had become wet. He said with distaste, "You're using my clothes as a tissue. How disgusting! Hurry up and change them for me."
Susu stood up straight and lightly punched his chest. "You deserve it. Do you know how frightening it was when you hid this from me!"
She scolded him, but still helped him back onto the bed, sat him down again, and went to get him a clean shirt to change into.
"You just woke up. How do you feel? Lie down and rest for a while longer."
Tianyi took her hand voluntarily and said, "Except for not being able to see, I feel fine. I don't want to lie down anymore. Is this a hospital? Am I in a ward?"
"Yes, in a ward. This is a private hospital. Anjing said he brought you here for an examination once."
