Chapter 493: Private Doctor
Rui controlled himself from getting near to Cali as much as he could, but he would often check on her in her room whenever she was asleep with the help of Nanny Shine and Grandpa Lua. He stayed near her, cradled her hand and caressed her cheeks sometimes, hoping very soon she will regain her memories and recognise him.
’I miss you too much, Cali,’ he mused as he stared at the sleeping girl. She was doing well and there was a significant improvement in her health and her recovery was very fast. In three more days, Dion would discharge her from the hospital so she could continue to recuperate in her house.
Grief filled his entire body at the thought that she would not stay in his house to recover where he could monitor and take care of her closely.
He gently touched her cheek as tears fell from his eyes. "I really love you too much, Cali..." he whispered, his heart in his cracked voice. He wanted to kiss her and hug her, but he controlled himself.
Even being close to her was a luxury for him now, he didn’t want to let go of this luxury also if she woke up finding him hugging her or very close to her. He knew there was still a long road to travel before she would recognise him as someone close to her.
He was sitting there engraving her beautiful and innocent face in his eyes, as he knew after she would be discharged soon.
Rui at the same time would be gone for a long time before returning and meeting her again. His expressions froze when Cali suddenly opened her eyes.
"Doc?" she mumbled in her sluggish voice.
"Oh yeah, I’m checking the temperature. It’s normal." Rui stressed and retracted his palm from her cheek.
