My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 849
Chapter 849: Don’t Make Things Difficult For Him
The doctor sent Leng Mu to the hospital ward. Leng Zhiyuan stood outside the door as she looked on quietly. Her ears could not stop ringing with what the doctor said…
In a vegatative state…
He had to lie down in bed for the rest of his life…
Till this moment, she still felt that all of this was a joke that the Heavens were playing on her. Everything was all fine yesterday, and that night in the study, her father was still seated down on the office chair. Her father did not ask much of her, and he only wanted her to be happy and safe. Her father even said that in his entire life, it was not hard on him, and everything was good as long as she and Older Brother were doing well.
But in a blink of an eye, father was lying down on an icy cold bed just like that.
Father would not open his eyes again and would not smile at her again. Father turned into a vegetable. Actually was…what the difference…between…this and death?
A layer of moisture appeared on her eyes quickly, and maybe in the next second, her tears would come falling down.
At this moment, someone appeared by her side. Zhou Yao handed a tissue over to her as he hoarsely said, “Cry if you feel like crying.”
Leng Zhiyuan quickly turned her head over to the side. She controlled the moisture in her eyes. She did not take the tissue, and she was unable to cry out loud. She could not cry. She still had many things to take care of.
“How did this happen?” she asked him.
Zhou Yao’s hand was still frozen in mid air. Actually, he did not want to hand the tissue to her. He wanted to stretch his hand out to touch her face. He wanted to embrace her and allow her to lean against his shoulder to cry, but he did not dare to.
He took the tissue back silently before he parted his thin lips and said, “Dad’s appearance was an accident, and now, the situation is in a mess. When we go back to T City, Dad will probably be locked into the national medical centre, and what will follow is a series of investigations. The Leng family, the Zhou family, no one will be able to escape.”
The national medical centre…
Leng Zhiyuan knew that place. That place did not see the sun often. There were three layers of barricades inside, and many of the people living there were mentally ill patients.
Leng Zhiyuan lowered her eyelashes. She was gentle and firm as she said, “I will not allow my father to live in that place.”
Kids are supposed to take care of their parents in their old age. Her father was already almost 60. She would never allow Dad to live the rest of his life in that place.
As for those investigations…
“When will we go back?”
“Probably the day after tomorrow…”
“Oh, the quicker, the better.” Leng Zhiyuan turned around and left.
“Zhiyuan!” Zhou Yao stretched his hand out to grab her slim wrist as he said, “Let’s have a chat…”
Leng Zhiyuan closed her eyes. A layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. Her legs went soft, and she slid down to the floor.
Zhou Yao quickly pulled her into his embrace. He was such a muscular masculine man, and at this moment, his gaze was full of fear as he said, “Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, what is wrong?”
Leng Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes. She was not feeling well as she raised her eyebrows, and she said, “I am fine…”
She struggled as she tried to stand up.
The next second, her world spun around. Zhou Yao already picked her up into his arms.
He kicked the door open and placed her down on the soft bed. Leng Zhiyuan felt pain in her stomach. There was a feeling of something pulling downwards. She stretched her hand out to touch her stomach for a while.
“I will go and get the doctor.”
“No need!” She quickly stopped him from doing so as she said, “I will be fine after I get some sleep.”
Zhou Yao stopped. He sat on the chair by one side as he said, “You can sleep. I will protect you.”
Leng Zhiyuan was silent for a while before she turned around, and her back faced him as she slept.
Zhou Yao looked at her back profile. He licked his dry lips as he slowly said, “Zhiyuan, Dad is already like this. Any more explanation would be in vain. I do not have any explanations, but, sorry…”
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything, and it was just as if she was sleeping.
It was already late at night. Zhou Yao stood up. He pulled the blankets on the bed and covered her lightly dressed body. The woman’s face was very pale, and there were a few strands of hair on her clean face. It made her seem extra frail and pitiful.
Zhou Yao gazed at her deeply. His expression was full of pity. He stretched his hand out slowly and wanted to use his fingers to touch her face.
But he did not manage to do so. Leng Zhiyuan, who had her eyes closed, ducked away.
Zhou Yao’s hand forze, and he quickly took his hand back as he said, “Have a good rest. Good night.” He retreated back to the chair.
That night was extremely slow compared to the ones in the past. One of them was in the bed, and one of them was in the chair. They were actually so close to one another, but it seemed that they were so far away.
…
The next afternoon, the group rushed back to T City.
They just reached the main lobby of the airport, and Leng ZHiyuan saw Leng Hao standing in the distance. Leng Hao was dressed in black. Ah Chen was together with a group of men in black standing behind him.
“Older Brother.” She quickly stepped forward.
Leng Hao had a look at his younger sister from head to toe, and he asked, “Are you hurt?”
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head and said, “No.”
The staff members lifted Leng Mu over. Leng Hao quickly stepped forward. He bent over and softly called out, “Dad! Dad!”
“Older Brother.” Leng Zhiyuan greeted him gently as she said, “Don’t call him anymore. Dad…will not wake up.”
Leng Hao slowly stood up straight. His defined mixed features became dark. He did not seem to show much emotion on the outside, and he told Leng Zhiyuan, “Don’t worry, medicine has gotten so advanced now. They will definitely cure father. Ah Chen, send Old Master to the hospital…”
At this moment, Zhou Yao stepped forward first and said, “Older Brother.”
Leng Hao looked over at Zhou Yao. He curled the corners of his lips as he said, “Why, Major General Zhou, can’t I bring my father away?”
“Older Brother…”
“Don’t call me Older Brother!” Leng Hao controlled his volume as he growled out softly. The green veins on his forehead were all popping out as he said, “We have this sentence for people in the industry; people with blood relations cannot kill one another. When you touched my father, did you think of Zhiyuan or not?”
Zhou Yao’s handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted together. It was still the same thing. He did not have an explanation. That bullet was shot by Xiao Zhi, but if Xiao Zhi did not shoot, both him and the other Flaming Forces soldiers would have died. Even if Xiao Zhi was not there, he would have taken action.
But Leng Hao was also right. His father-in-law was his relative. His heart hurt, and he felt guilty.
Dealing with work matters properly and his feelings were on two opposite ends, and actually, he did not have any choice.
Leng Hao glared at him before he ordered, “Ah Chen!”
Zhou Yao took another step forward and said, “Older Brother!”
Both men’s gazes crashed into one another in mid air. Sparks flew in all directions. Leng Hao’s gaze was sinister and fierce, and Zhou Yao was reserved and painful.
At this moment, Leng Hao’s gaze changed, and he prepared to strike.
“Older Brother!” Leng Zhiyuan stepped forward immediately. She blocked the two men as she said, “Don’t make things difficult for him. This is his responsibility!”
Leng Hao quickly looked over at his younger sister. It had come to such a point, and she was still defending this man?
“Are you still behaving like this?” He hated that she was not bold enough.
Leng Zhiyuan ducked away from her older brother’s gaze as she quietly said, “If you guys start fighting now, we will not get anything good out of it. We can’t hand dad over to others, but the method that we choose should not be to snatch him but for others to send him over. The situation is very tense right now. Dad’s identity is sensitive. The Leng family will definitely get dragged in. Older Brother, you still have many things to do. Don’t pull yourself inside when you have yet to complete a single task.”
Leng Hao clenched his fist and controlled the anger inside his chest. The Leng family had already experienced disaster, and at this time, he could not end up in trouble himself.
