The deep night lood, and Lin Banxia leaned tiredly against the edge of the hospital bed, her small face looking pale.
Huo Yanting had tried persuading her multiple tis to sleep on the bed with him, but she refused. Since Huo Yanting had a fractured leg in a cast, she was afraid of accidentally touching his injury. As a result, she chose to remain at the bedside instead of sleeping on the bed.
Huo Yanting could only ask Qi Han to set up a small bed next to them. Only then did Lin Banxia rest assuredly, hugging the quilt as she fell asleep.
Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo had already gone ho, leaving the hospital room in utter silence.
After sleeping for a few hours, Lin Banxia woke up and lifted her head, only to see Huo Yanting already asleep.
Under the dim yellow light, his facial features were distinct and exceptionally handso.
Lin Banxia stared at him vacantly, a turbulent wave of emotions surging in her heart.
A sense of foreboding hit her; she couldn’t shake the feeling that she would eventually have to leave him and their child.
If that really happened, what should she do? The thought alone would haunt her to death.
How could she bear to leave him? How could she possibly abandon their child?
While she knew that, with Huo Yanting’s future financial strength, their child would live a life of considerable comfort and affluence, there would still be the absence of maternal love. She hoped Mrs. Huo could take her place and shower the child with more love.
Letting out a soft sigh, Lin Banxia continued looking at the man’s face, unaware that she had already collided with a pair of deep, ocean-like eyes.
"What are you spacing out about?" The low, magnetic voice of a man interrupted her thoughts. She blinked, realizing she had t his tender, concerned gaze.
Lin Banxia quickly tucked away her lancholy and smiled, saying, "I’m looking at you. You look really handso when you sleep!"
Huo Yanting couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. "Really? Haven’t you seen enough yet?"
"Never enough. I could look for a lifeti, and it still wouldn’t be enough!" Lin Banxia said with heartfelt affection.
Huo Yanting’s thin lips curved into a slight smile as he reached out to gently touch her soft, long hair. "Banxia, don’t let your thoughts run wild, okay? I’ve already asked Qi Han to contact a well-known Taoist priest. Once I’m healed, I’ll take you to see him."
"Do you really believe I’m not making things up?" Lin Banxia couldn’t help but laugh, her heart warming.
Huo Yanting replied earnestly, "No matter what you say, I believe in you."
"Alright, then let’s go find the Taoist priest and ask about what’s been happening to . Honestly, it’s been puzzling for a long ti. I don’t understand why I’ve been able to traverse souls and return," Lin Banxia said curiously.
"Could it have sothing to do with the pear garden where you live?" Huo Yanting ventured, sensing the historical significance of the pear garden. Perhaps it truly held mysteries that defied scientific explanation.
Lin Banxia nodded. "I think it’s connected to the pear garden too. When I woke up, I was lying in the pear garden."
"Then let’s ask the Taoist priest to see if he can help resolve it!" Huo Yanting gently touched her small face and comforted her.
"I really hope he can help !" Lin Banxia said, filled with anticipation.
"Could it be that your grandparents, who cared deeply for you, are watching over you from the heavens? Maybe they saw your unhappiness and wanted to give you another chance at life, leading you to ?" Huo Yanting said tenderly.
"That must be it. My grandparents truly loved . When Huo Qinglin tornted to the brink of insanity, they must have seen it from heaven!" Lin Banxia found his words reasonable and firmly believed her grandparents were helping her from above.
"If that’s the case, wouldn’t your grandparents ensure that, now that you’re living a happy life, you won’t face further tribulations?" Huo Yanting said, full of hope.
"Let’s hope so. I hope that’s the result!" Lin Banxia pressed her small face against his palm, greedily absorbing the warmth of his touch. "Huo Yanting, maybe this world truly has things that science cannot explain. I’ve already decided to face it head-on!"
"I’ll face it with you!" Huo Yanting watched her nuzzle his palm like a kitten, so light and tender that it felt like a feather brushing against his heart. He couldn’t help but want to protect her, shielding her from all harm.
