Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 130

Shu Tian cast her eyes down, shook her head, and sobbed, "I don't know..."

This man had never mentioned a word to her. Even when he had just tried to explain it, he had never said anything about that. Proud as he was, he was still willing to do all this for her, and he even chose to hide it for fear that she would feel guilty.

"Miss Shu, I've never seen Mr. Li torture himself like this for the sake of any woman other than you. Nothing is more painful for Mr. Li than your departure." Having been working with Li Han for so many years, Zhang Bikun knew him very well.

Before Shu Tian appeared in his life, Li Han loved his work the most, but now he didn't want anything. He even gave up his meetings, regardless of however important they were, just for the purpose of finding her soon.

Zhang Bikun watched his despair and felt poignant.

"Mr. Li doesn't know how to express his feelings. Miss Shu, I hope you can be more considerate of his character. Please don't feel offended by my words ..."

"I won't." Shu Tian interrupted him softly and exhaled deeply. "Thank you for telling me. If you didn't, maybe I'll continue to blame him."

Communication between them was too scarce. He was not good at expressing himself, and her heart was too fragile.

"It was indeed an accident that night, but Mr. Li would never have an affair with Miss Jiang. I have already looked for her and you can ask her in person then." Zhang Bikun was afraid that she would continue to misunderstand and quickly explained.

Shu Tian wasn't in the mood to dwell on her misunderstanding now, as all she wanted to do was to go back to the ward and see if his fever had subsided.

After their sincere talk, Zhang Bikun left Shu Tian alone with him.

In the ward, everything was quiet except for the feeble sound of the humidifier. The man on the bed was pale and his lips were chapped due to the lack of water. The doctor said that he should not drink water yet and could only rely on the infusion to relieve his thirst.

Because of pneumonia, his breathing was a little dull, and even when he was lying, he appeared to be troubled by a strong sense of fatigue.

Shu Tian stood by the bed and watched. The longer she examined him, the more she couldn't bear her emotions. It seemed that he had not been in good health recently. It hadn't been too long after he had had his last fever, but this time his illness was even worse.

The incandescent light overhead shone on his face, where his brows furrowed slightly even when he was asleep. Shu Tian thought it was because of the light, so she turned around and was about to turn it off, but just as she took a step forward, her wrist was grabbed.

"Don't go."

A dry voice came from behind. She abruptly halted and turned her head to look. The man's eyes were closed and he did not wake up, but he grabbed her with his hand in which the doctor had inserted the needle.

Shu Tian was taken aback. Afraid that the needle would move, she quickly put his hand back on the bed. Then she wanted to let go of him, but he tightened his grip on her. "Don't go..."

Shu Tian felt as if she had been punched in the heart, a sour feeling swelling and pervading within. It turned out that... he was so insecure.

She squatted down and leaned her head against his hand. Her voice was soft as she coaxed, "I won't leave. I'll leave only when you wake up."

She cooed him with gentle words extremely patiently. Her comfort seemed to work, as the grip of his large hand on her gradually relaxed a little, and the blood vessels on it were not so tense.

Shu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the chair over with another arm with difficulty. She held his hand and sat down to wait.

Minutes ticking away, she was also exhausted after a few days of light sleep. Not long after, she leaned over and fell asleep beside the bed as well.

When Fu Qingtong heard of it and got to the hospital, it was already twenty minutes later. She anxiously asked the doctor for the ward number and rushed over. Zhang Bikun could not stop her. After all, she was Miss Shu's friend and he did not dare to offend her.
