Chapter 18 : Don’t Leave Me
“...” Critically injured? He did not have an affective psychiatric disorder?
“A bullet went through my head at that time. I was on the brink of death. But I was lucky, the bullet did not take my life, but it fractured and penetrated my skull.”
Seeing Zhong Nuannuan’s mouth gaping in shock and she looked very worried, Chi Yang explained quickly in case she despised and wanted to leave him, “I recovered completely after two surgeries. It’s just that I would still get headaches when the weather changes or it gets gloomy.
“But these are nothing. I am healthy. As long as you’re willing, I will use my healthy body to continue living this life with you. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the military base to look up my information and my physical condition. Since I can still stay in the base and be the instructor and director-general of the special forces team, I think it’s obvious what my physical health’s like.”
“...”
“...”
Chi Yang was so stern and strict with his words that Zhong Nuannuan felt helpless hearing all that.
Did he think that she was going to leave him?
“Nuannuan, I am fine. Don’t leave me because of this, okay?”
He did not want to scare his future wife away with such a medical condition just as she was starting to feel good about him.
If he did not have her, he would not feel anything, but he would try hard to make her like him and in the end, fell in love with him.
However, he could not accept the fact that his wife would despise him and leave him for such a reason just after she had accepted him, and they were about to start their happy lives.
There were a lot of cases like that in the military base. The women would leave the soldiers or call off their marriages after they got injured or disabled in battle.
He was afraid that he would be abandoned.
Zhong Nuannuan’s heart pained with Chi Yang’s words.
This man was like a god in front of her. As long as she did not mention breaking up or divorce, he would stay with her humbly and carefully. He had stayed with her like that for six long years.
Releasing her seatbelt, Zhong Nuannuan turned around and put her arms to hug Chi Yang at his waist. She buried her face into his chest, feeling the warmth of his chest and his strong heartbeat, only then she calmed down and promised him.
“I won’t! I won’t abandon you! No matter what you become, no matter what illness you get, I will never abandon you! I was just worried about you and I wanted to face your illness together with you.”
Zhong Nuannuan’s word startled Chi Yang.
Her face was in his chest, so she did not see Chi Yang’s unfeeling cold face broke into a smile because of her words.
Zhong Nuannuan was worried sick about him. She regretted exposing him so early and airing his weakness out in front of her.
It was her fault for being so impatient.
His illness only went out of control after six years. And now, it was just the beginning.
There were still six years left. She could open him up slowly and let him trust her and believe her completely. When he finally treated her as his, she would start healing him.
After she was sure of her thoughts, Zhong Nuannuan said, “When you could not control the steering wheel, I was worried that you’re not feeling well so I asked you. You have to tell me if you’re not feeling well.”
Chi Yang caressed the head that was buried in his chest. She was so tame and his gaze on her was gentle. “Alright.”
Afraid that she would not believe him, he added, “It wasn’t an outburst that caused the accident just now. It was because you touched my hand so suddenly. I was excited and did not pay attention to where I was going, which then caused the accident. This will not happen again.”
“We’ll stay together forever, so please don’t get so excited.”
“Alright. Nuannuan, I’m sorry I scared you.”
Zhong Nuannuan shook her head. “I wasn’t scared. I was just worried about you.”
She had finished asking what she wanted to ask. She remembered that Chi Yang had something to say and removed herself from his arms. “What did you want to say to me?”
