Chapter 1054: Chapter 1055: Suddenly Rembering Her
The illness seed to be fierce. Before the attack, he could endure the headaches, but once it struck, he fell down, and his whole being felt as if all his strength had been drained.
He had already called out twice, but the sickroom was quiet, with only himself in it.
Shouldn’t Qingie be here?
At first, ng Chaojun thought she might have stepped out to the restroom or sothing, but after waiting for a long while with nobody coming, his mouth felt so dry that he was very uncomfortable.
“Is anyone there? Doctor? Nurse?”
It was on his third shout that soone finally ca in.
“Oh, Alliance Officer ng, you’re awake?”
ng Chaojun recognized the middle-aged woman; she was a maid from the Duan Family, helping Duan Feian and the others with the housework, known as Sister Lian.
“Sister Lian, where’s Qingie?”
“Oh, her? She went ho to get so clothes for you.”
Ho to get clothes for him? Did that an he wasn’t going to be discharged today and had to stay in the hospital?
“Pour
a glass of water,” ng Chaojun said, enduring his thirst.
Sister Lian replied and went to pour him water. But upon reaching the table, she exclaid, “There’s no cup here? Alliance Officer ng, wait a mont, I’ll find a cup for you.”
Sister Lian took a full ten minutes to return.
By that ti, ng Chaojun’s mouth was so dry that he didn’t have a drop of saliva left. And his chest felt so congested that he thought only a cup of hot water might provide so relief.
When Sister Lian ca back and poured him a glass of water, she reached out to help him sit up to drink, but her hand imdiately retracted.
“Oh my, if Miss Qingie saw
helping you like this, she wouldn’t be pleased. Alliance Officer ng, you better sit up and drink it yourself.”
ng Chaojun wanted to give a wry smile but couldn’t.
There had been a ti before when he had twisted his foot, and Sister Lian had helped him up, which Qingie saw, and she sulked with him for a while.
Back then, he found her quite adorable, thinking that a woman being a little possessive and jealous was all because of her desire to claim him, all because she loved him too much.
Not like ng Xinian’s mother, who would only laugh it off, unconcerned even when others told her they saw him getting close to a female team mber.
ng Chaojun was taken aback for a mont.
Why did he suddenly think of her?
He hadn’t thought of her for a long ti, didn’t want to think about her.
He tried to support his heavy body to sit up, but his arms were weak, and he struggled, unable to sit up on his own.
Just then, soone walked in and slipped their arm behind him, helping him up while also propping up the pillow to allow him to lean back.
ng Chaojun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a nurse, and looked up to thank the person, but when he raised his head, he saw Chiang Xiao’s face.
He was stunned.
“Do you want so water?” Chiang Xiao asked.
ng Chaojun nodded blankly.
Chiang Xiao glanced at Sister Lian and the cup in her hand, then took out a military canteen and a cup from the bag she carried, poured half a cup, and brought it to his lips.
“Drink.”
Her tone was sowhat cold.
Although still feeling slightly awkward, ng Chaojun drank the half cup of water from her hand.
As the water went down his throat, it was refreshingly cool, instantly soothing his parched throat.
“Another cup,” he couldn’t help saying.
“Just half a cup,” Chiang Xiao said expressionlessly.
“Chiang Xiao, you…” ng Chaojun was a bit annoyed, were they only letting him drink half a cup of water?
Sister Lian muttered, “I’ve got water right here, now I have to pour it again.”
“You have water, why didn’t you give it to him to drink?” Chiang Xiao already knew this woman was the aunt left to take care of ng Chaojun, as Duan Feian had ntioned, and she wasn’t pleased with her either.
