Chapter 310 - 304: Recovered and Returning Home_1
"Wife, wife, how have you fallen asleep again? There won’t be any more trouble, will there?" Zhao Erhu saw Lin Yue fall back to sleep and, although he was concerned, he didn’t have the heart to wake her up seeing how exhausted his little wife looked; he sat quietly by the bed and watched over her.
Perhaps due to the severe side effects of the Soul-piercing Needle, Lin Yue slept for a full three hours before waking up again. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Zhao Erhu’s smiling face, she gave him a sweet smile in return with a gentle bend of her eyes and brows.
When Zhao Erhu saw Lin Yue’s sweet smile, he felt even more joyful. Regardless of whether his little wife still remembered their past or not, at least her impression of him wasn’t bad, "Wife, you’re finally awake. You slept for so long, I was afraid you’d fall into a coma like before. Now that you’re awake, I can finally relax."
"Did I sleep for a long time? What happened? Let me think." Lin Yue let Zhao Erhu help her sit up, recalling the push from behind on the back mountain when she went looking for Sanlang, the fall down the slope, the all-too-real dream, and then that pain, sharp and true.
As she remembered every detail, Lin Yue felt a sudden sense of guilt when she looked at Zhao Erhu. In that dream, her heart was set on being with Qin Lang, casting this man, who had been so good to her, to the back of her mind – it was entirely inexcusable. Seeing how gaunt and haggard Zhao Erhu had become in his care for her, she realized how worried he must have been while she lay unconscious; she couldn’t bring herself to meet Zhao Erhu’s gaze. She truly had no face to see him, love really was blind, wasn’t it? Especially when it was unrequited, that was the reason she was so reckless in her dreams. She felt deeply sorry to this man.
Seeing Lin Yue like this, Zhao Erhu thought she really had forgotten about their past and was afraid of him, which pained his heart. Nevertheless, his tone became even gentler, carefully comforting Lin Yue, "Wife, don’t be afraid. I know you might not remember the past, but I am your husband, and I will treat you well for a lifetime, taking care of you. Please, don’t be afraid of me, alright?"
With Zhao Erhu saying this, Lin Yue’s head hung even lower, filled with an unbearable sense of shame, determined to be doubly good to this man in the future.
"Wife, wife, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell, or is it something else? If something is bothering you or you can’t make sense of it, please don’t hold it in and tell me." Zhao Erhu was a bit panic-stricken, seeing Lin Yue like this; he desperately hoped nothing was wrong. If Lin Yue didn’t respond, he thought he might have to go find Jiang Ziqi to check on her.
