The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 855 - 870: This Kind of Heartache Really Hurts

"In a sealed wooden box?" Zhong Li repeated the sentence with a grim expression.

Gu Nanxi has claustrophobia. Zhong Li had seen how uncomfortable he was in an elevator. Now that he’s been kidnapped for such a long time, Zhong Li couldn’t imagine how he endured it.

Moreover, the kidnappers took him without leaving any signs of beating. They just locked him in a sealed wooden box, clearly knowing he had claustrophobia.

"Xiao Xi, Nancy has claustrophobia. Is it really okay for him to remain unconscious like this?"

Zhong Li deliberately lowered her voice; she didn’t want more people to know about this.

"The nurse will push him to the ward later, and once the IV is set up, I’ll be monitoring his condition constantly."

When the nurse wheeled Gu Nanxi out of the examination room, Zhong Li instantly began to cry, feeling as if a dagger had pierced her heart, sharp and painful.

She held Gu Nanxi’s slightly cool palm, her throat as if stuffed with cotton, making her unable to speak.

The nurse pushed Gu Nanxi into the ward and set up the IV before leaving.

Han Xi glanced at the watch on his wrist; it was already past three in the afternoon. "Sis, I’ll go out to buy some food. No one has eaten yet. If anything happens, just call the nurse."

"I know, you go ahead."

After Han Xi left the ward, Zhong Li went to the bathroom, got a warm towel, and walked to the bedside to clean the dirt off Gu Nanxi’s face and hands.

"Please wake up soon, okay? I’m really worried about you, and I’ve been crying all this time..."

Zhong Li’s tears fell onto the back of Gu Nanxi’s hand, her throat aching painfully sour.

After cleaning his face and hands, Zhong Li sat on the chair next to the bed, leaned over, and kissed the corner of Gu Nanxi’s lips. "Please don’t make me sad, okay? It really hurts my heart like this. Please wake up soon and don’t keep sleeping."

Zhong Li was truly afraid of losing him. They had just gotten together, and there were so many things they hadn’t done yet.

......

Han Xi returned after packing some food from a restaurant near the hospital. She brought a portion to Qi Weidong and checked on Yu Lu’s condition before carrying the food back to Gu Nanxi’s ward.

"Sis, have something to eat first."

Han Xi put the food on the table, looking at Zhong Li with concern.

Zhong Li raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, seemingly lost. "I’m not hungry. You eat first."

"You should eat something. You’ll wear yourself out before brother-in-law even wakes up. If he knew you were like this, he’d be heartbroken."

Zhong Li gently caressed the back of Gu Nanxi’s hand with her fingertips, unable to stop her tears. "Maybe if he feels heartache, he’ll wake up faster."

Seeing Zhong Li’s sadness, Han Xi really didn’t know what else to say to comfort her.

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Qi Weidong supported Yu Lu as they walked in. "Daughter, my good child, you need to eat well to have the strength to take care of Nancy. Otherwise, he will worry, and so will I."

Zhong Li turned around, staring at Yu Lu in disbelief, and then rushed into her embrace. "Mom, you finally remember me."

"Child, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gotten sick, much less forgotten you... I’m sorry, it’s mommy’s fault."

Yu Lu gently patted Zhong Li’s back, her weak voice choked up and barely audible.
