Stealing Your Heart Chapter 353
“Instead of feeling dejected, why don’t you think of a way to remedy the situation?” Lin Xinyan encouraged him as she didn’t want to see him continue to mope.
Regret is useless because it doesn’t change anything. Besides, the hardest emotion to get over is regret itself.
Su Zhan raised his head and looked at Lin Xinyan. “What should I do now?”
He was really confused; he didn’t know what else he could do. All he could think of was the image of Qin Ya’s face being disfigured. It was seared into his mind – he couldn’t escape from it.
“You should go home and clean up first. I’ll look after Qin Ya,” Lin Xinyan replied.
Su Zhan hesitated. “What will happen if she’s willing to see me, but I’m not around?”
“Do you really think she wants to see you now?” She may be willing to do so if she’s not disfigured. However, she definitely won’t want to as of now.
If the same thing happened to me, I would definitely not want to see Zong Jinghao too. That’s how it feels like.
“Behaving like that doesn’t make things any better. In fact, you’re just torturing yourself. Do you think you will be forgiven just by moping around?”
Su Zhan grabbed onto Lin Xinyan’s sleeve in panic. “In that case, what should I do? How will she ever forgive me?”
“Forgive you?” Lin Xinyan sneered. “What would you do if you were in her place?”
Su Zhan was stumped because if their roles were reversed, he would definitely not forgive himself.
Not admonishing him further, Lin Xinyan consoled Su Zhan, “Go home first, I’ll talk to Qin Ya about it.”
Su Zhan knew how close Lin Xinyan was to Qin Ya. Therefore, he knew he still had a chance if she was willing to put in a good word for him. From the bottom of his heart, he thanked her, “Thanks, Xinyan.”
However, Lin Xinyan didn’t acknowledge him because she sided with Qin Ya more. If Qin Ya chose not to forgive Su Zhan, she would not persuade her to do so.
After sending Su Zhan away, Lin Xinyan checked with the nurse about seeing Qin Ya. The nurse then asked Qin Ya about it. As someone who had her face disfigured, Qin Ya’s emotions would likely be volatile. Therefore, it was imperative to seek her permission before seeing her.
If she agreed, they would arrange it accordingly.
While Lin Xinyan patiently waited, the nurse emerged from the ward. “You can go on in but don’t talk to her for too long. Keep it under ten minutes because her body is still weak.”
Lin Xinyan nodded. “I understand.”
The nurse led Lin Xinyan to a changing room and passed her a medical coverall.
“You will need to wear this inside the ICU,” the nurse explained.
Most people didn’t know how to put it on the first time. However, with the nurse’s help, Lin Xinyan settled into it in no time.
She was soon wrapped snugly within it. The reason she was required to wear it was to prevent germs from contaminating the ICU.
“Follow me, please,” the nurse instructed.
As Lin Xinyan followed the nurse into the ICU, all she could hear was the beep of the medical devices, nothing else. It made the atmosphere feel chilly and mechanical.
“Don’t talk too long,” the nurse reminded before leaving.
Standing by the door of the ward, Lin Xinyan hesitated for a while. A sense of uneasiness fell upon her as she didn’t know how to comfort Qin Ya.
If the same tragedy had befallen her, she knew she would be devastated beyond belief.
“Ms. Lin, why aren’t you coming in?” Qin Ya’s voice was weak. She couldn’t see Lin Xinyan standing by the door. Nevertheless, she still knew it was Lin Xinyan as the nurse had informed her of the woman’s arrival earlier. Besides, only Su Zhan or Lin Xinyan would come to see her anyway.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Xinyan walked in, pretending to be relaxed. “Hey, you’re awake.”
Qin Ya murmured softly in acknowledgment.
Lin Xinyan wanted to hold her hand. However, both Qin Ya’s hands were intubated, so she didn’t know how to do so.
