Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 991

Xiao Yiqing sat on the chair beside the bed and gently wiped her husband’s chapped and pale lips with a wet cotton swab. Lying on the bed, Mu Zigu looked at his wife and was in a daze for a long time.

When his wife finished, he reached out to take her hand and said, "Wife, I thought I would never see you again."

Hearing her husband’s words, Xiao Yiqing’s eyes turned red again, and said, "Husband, when I thought you would never wake up and leave me alone, I was so scared. I don’t know if I can still have the courage to stay in this world without you."

When Mu Zigu heard this, his heart ached. He held his wife’s hand tighter and said, "Wife, I’m sorry for making you worried and scared."

Xiao Yiqing shook her head and said, "Husband, I’m sorry for coming so late. I didn’t know you were so seriously injured. When you are at the brink of death, I still..."

She couldn’t help but feel guilty and ashamed when she thought that her husband was hanging on by a thread while she was still tending her small vegetable garden.

She was obviously restless those days, but she did not take the initiative to inquire about her husband. She was such a failure as his wife.

Seeing his wife blaming herself, Mu Zigu wiped his wife’s tears and said, "This is not your fault, why do you blame yourself?"

Xiao Yiqing lowered her head and said nothing.

Mu Zigu held his wife’s fingers and asked, "Wife, don’t you want to see me? I want to see you very much. It has been almost a month since I went on a mission. I miss you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing wiped away her tears and raised her head. She looked at her husband and said, "You are not allowed to be hurt like this again."

"I will try my best to protect myself for you," Mu Zigu promised.

After listening to her husband’s words, Xiao Yiqing finally felt comfortable and stopped crying. She brought a glass of water with a straw on it and asked, "Husband, do you want a drink?"

Mu Zigu drank some water and said, "Wife, I’m tired. Can you stay with me when I sleep?"

"Husband, I will stay with you when you take a nap," Xiao Yiqing said, pulling the thin quilt over her husband’s chest.

Not long after, Mu Zigu fell asleep. Xiao Yiqing stayed with him for half an hour before she went to the nurse’s counter to make a phone call to her parents.

When she reached the nurse’s station, she asked, "Hello, comrade, can I borrow the phone?"

It’s normal for a patient’s family to borrow the hospital phone to make a call, but they need to pay a fee.

"You can use it, but it costs a cent for five minutes," the nurse said.

Xiao Yiqing nodded and smiled, "Thank you, comrade."

Compared to the phone station price of two cents for a five-minute call, the hospital charged a lower fee.

After she dialed the Xiao family’s phone number, she waited a moment before the call was picked up. "Hello, this is the Xiao family house. What can I do for you?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Yiqing said, "Hello, Grandpa Wen."

Noticing the concern in the old butler’s voice, Xiao Yiqing felt her nose turn sore. Grandpa Wen treated her so well, much better than her own grandpa did. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
