She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 823: Chapter 863: Get Well Soon

”I think my sister-in-law is very kind, a perfect match for our Captain.” Originally, Chen Yingjie didn’t think much of Sheng Ning, but since the Captain liked her, he would fully support it. This incident made many people recognize Sheng Ning’s excellence.

”You don’t need to say it; anyone with eyes knows. When will you bring a wife home, kid? You’re not young anymore; hurry up and get married.”

Speaking of this, Chen Yingjie closed his eyes and moaned weakly, ”I’m so tired. I need to sleep for a while. No, it hurts too much. Grandpa, go call the doctor to give me a pain relief injection.”

”No way, you can’t have painkillers. Bear with the pain; look at your Captain, he doesn’t do what you’re doing.”

”Then I’ll sleep for a while.”

”Mm! You sleep!”

Chen Yingjie sighed in relief, knowing Grandpa was certainly worried, deliberately speaking sternly to him. Yingzi had told her that Grandpa fainted upon hearing the news, and he felt guilty for making the elders worry. So he was holding on to reassure them.

Xu Qigang and Chen Yingjie’s injuries were so severe that they were mostly in a daze for the first three days, barely awake. Infusions and blood transfusions were almost continuous.

During this time, Sheng Ning went back to bring her clothes and toiletries. The hospital arranged the best ward, with everything except cooking available.

Sheng Ning slept next to Xu Qigang at night and quietly stayed with him most of the daytime. When nurses administered drips, she watched over him, and when the drips ran out, she called the nurses. She wiped his body, washed his face and feet morning and night.

Chen Huaying also took a month’s leave from school specifically to care for her brother. After much persuasion due to his age, Mr. Chen finally left the hospital.

After passing the seventy-two-hour danger period, Xu Qigang began to sleep less and could eat small amounts.

These days, Sheng Ning was exhausted, and for the first time in the morning, slept in a bit.

”Xiao Ning, you’re going to fall off.” His deep voice sounded beside her, and Sheng Ning suddenly opened her eyes. She felt very insecure these days, either worrying Xu Qigang might not wake up or that the drip would run out and not be replaced promptly.

”Doctor, doctor...” She instinctively called for a doctor, but a pair of warm big hands gently covered her mouth.

The smell of disinfectant mingled with familiar warmth, calming Sheng Ning as she saw Xu Qigang’s raised left hand, overjoyed.

”Your hand can move? That’s great!” She laughed foolishly, delighted.

A few days ago, Xu Qigang couldn’t move at all, and the doctor said it would take at least half a month to get out of bed.

”Quickly move in a little, or else you’ll fall to the ground.” Xu Qigang frowned, seeming rather displeased.

”It’s fine!” Sheng Ning liked to turn over in her sleep, often unknowingly ending up at the edge. She moved inward, half-lying, propping her chin with her right hand, staring at him without blinking.

”What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you happy?”

”No!” For the first time since childhood, he felt powerless, watching helplessly as his beloved woman was about to fall off the bed, yet he could do nothing. This feeling of defeat made Xu Qigang very unhappy; he needed to recover quickly.

Even though Xu Qigang said he wasn’t unhappy, Sheng Ning knew he was.

”What’s making you unhappy? Say it out loud to make me happy for a bit.” Her mischievous mouth uttered something she’d heard in her past life, resulting in her face being pinched by someone’s big hand.
