Chapter 143: I Love You, Don’t Leave Me#
Less than two hours after coming out of the observation room, Lu Siyuan woke up. He was awakened by pain from a nightmare.
“Ugh…”
“Lu Siyuan!” Wei Dong pressed down on the struggling man, picked him up from the hospital bed, and wrapped him in his arms. “What’s wrong?!”
The oppressive embrace made Lu Siyuan struggle even more uneasily, “Go away… don’t…”
Wei Dong clasped his hands and held him tightly in his arms, patting his back soothingly, “It’s me, Lu Siyuan! Open your eyes and look, it’s me, it’s me, I’m Wei Dong, I’m Wei Dong, open your eyes and look at me, I’m your Dongzi.”
“Ugh… uh ah… no…”
“I’m Wei Dong, Siyuan, open your eyes and look, don’t be afraid…” Wei Dong held him with one hand and pressed the back of his neck with the other, pressing him into his embrace.
Whether it was the familiar scent between his nose that soothed him, or the man’s voice that calmed him, he gradually quieted down, and he also woke up from that vortex-like dream.
“Dongzi… Dongzi, Dongzi… Dongzi… Dongzi, Dongzi…” He trembled and shrank in Wei Dong’s arms, murmuring in a low voice, as if confirming whether this person was Wei Dong.
Seeing Lu Siyuan like this made Wei Dong’s heart tremble. He thought he had seen this person’s fragile appearance, but he didn’t know he would see him in such shattered pain.
This resolute and forbearing person, if it weren’t for the extreme pain, would never show this appearance even if beaten to death.
His resolute eyes were filled with overwhelming heartache. Wei Dong trembled his lips and kissed the top of his hair, “I’m here, don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
“Dongzi… Dongzi…”
Lu Siyuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, clutching the man’s lapel tightly. That suffocating despair wrapped around him, dragging him down continuously, pulling him into that bottomless abyss, giving him the illusion that he would die in there the next moment.
If he were to die the next moment, could he greedily hold onto this man, hold onto this man whom he felt was the only one he could rely on, the only one who could give him warmth…
“I love you, don’t leave me…” From his hoarse throat, broken pleas were painfully squeezed out, “I love you, I love you, can you please not leave me…”
This person was his last salvation. Could he hold onto him tightly and not let go? Could he…
“Wei Dong… Wei Dong, don’t leave me.” The broken plea betrayed his despair and shattered his disguised fortitude.
Wei Dong gritted his teeth tightly and tightened his arms, the strength almost embedding the person into his bones. He would rather never hear this person say these three words in his life than hear them in this way.
“Lu Siyuan, I won’t leave you, never in my life!”
He would protect this person in his arms for a lifetime and never let go!
Never!
…
When Xi An and Lu Min received the news and rushed over, the doctor had already injected Lu Siyuan with a sedative and let him sleep.
“Siyuan! Siyuan—” Xi An pushed open the ward door anxiously.
Seeing her son on the hospital bed with a pale face, she was extremely anxious and looked terrible, “Son, Siyuan…”
“He’s asleep.”
“Is he okay?!” Xi An didn’t pay attention and asked casually.
“He’s fine now.”
Hearing that Lu Siyuan was fine, Xi An subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and was slightly stunned when she saw the person who spoke. This is?
“You are…” When Xi An asked, her gaze fell on the hands clasped together by the bed. Looking at the man’s appearance again, she almost guessed the identity of this man in her heart.
However, this person still exceeded her imagination!
“I am Wei Dong.” Wei Dong said lightly.
Xi An was stunned. Is it really him? Is this the person her son wanted to keep as a memento?
“I am Siyuan’s mother, Xi An.” Xi An nodded to him somewhat awkwardly.
She didn’t expect that the first time she met this person would be under such circumstances.
“Hello, Auntie.” Wei Dong nodded slightly to Xi An.
Judging from Xi An’s reaction, she should know about his relationship with Lu Siyuan.
Such a meeting was not awkward for Wei Dong, but it was somewhat embarrassing for Xi An.
She didn’t know much about her son’s homosexual lover, and understood even less. Regarding the Chinese man, she had speculated many times from her son’s words, but she didn’t expect that when they actually met, it would be like this.
Within expectations, but beyond imagination.
“What happened to Siyuan?” Xi An sorted out her emotions and asked in a low voice, “Did the surgical wound not heal well?”
Wei Dong tucked the quilt for Lu Siyuan, “No.”
“Then what is this?” On the phone, she heard anxiously that her son was admitted to the hospital. She rushed over without asking for the specific reason.
“He was stimulated.” Wei Dong told Xi An the reason directly. This person shouldn’t carry this alone like this.
Xi An was stunned, “Stimulated?”
Wei Dong looked at the person on the hospital bed, his eyes full of heartache. When he looked up at Xi An, he restrained it again, “He met Han Biyao.”
Xi An frowned, somewhat puzzled, “You mean Siyuan fainted from stimulation after seeing his mother?”
“That woman is not worthy of being his mother.” A flash of killing intent passed between Wei Dong’s rough eyebrows.
Xi An was somewhat astonished. Listening to this person’s tone, does he know what happened to the Lu family back then? Who told him? Was it Siyuan? Did he actually tell this person about those painful past events?
“Before, this child has also met that person. Nothing like this has ever happened. What happened this time?” In these twenty years, as far as she knew, this child had met that person more than once, but how could such an accident happen this time?
Wei Dong shook his head. He also wanted to know what that woman said to this person that made him fall ill inexplicably.
Last time he knew this person fell ill when he woke up from a nightmare. Obviously, this time he was directly stimulated to have an attack on the spot.
Xi An shook her head. This child’s strength is rare. She heard her husband mention that this child, when going through the painful drug withdrawal back then, didn’t shed a single tear and endured it forcefully. Now he fainted because of stimulation. What happened in between?
Seeing Xi An’s confusion, Wei Dong narrowed his eyes.
“Did you guys never know that he also has a history of neurogenic shock?”
Hearing Wei Dong’s words, Xi An suddenly looked up at him, surprised, “Neurogenic shock?”
Wei Dong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. Sure enough, this person hid it from everyone and carried it alone again, “This was left from the accident back then.”
Xi An looked at her son on the hospital bed in shock and uncertainty. For so many years, none of them knew! None of them knew that this child also had this medical history!?
Neurogenic shock, shock caused by severe pain…
“…He never told anyone…”
Xi An covered her mouth, her eyes instantly red. She touched her son’s hair lovingly, “You silly child…”
Lu Min arrived just in time to hear Wei Dong’s words. She stood by the door, suddenly losing the strength to walk in. Leaning against the wall, she slid down and squatted by the wall, crying aloud in guilt.
How much did her brother carry for them?
But they didn’t know. They never knew how much pain the events of that year left him. They even enjoyed his protection for so many years…
How much do they owe him?
She even said he was cruel so stupidly and ignorantly…
He endured so much but never said a word. He carried this family alone, bearing the dirty truth of that year, yet she said such words to him…
Lu Min raised her hand and slapped herself hard. Squatting by the wall, she cried until she almost passed out.
Both she and her father suffered pain because of the accident back then, so they chose selfishness so calmly and naturally. Thinking they were hurt, they naturally felt they could re-plan and reorganize their lives.
The person who was hurt the most silently cleaned up this broken home, carrying all this with his scarred shoulders without a word, smiling and bearing everything. He fell ill with such a disease, and he even hid it from them for twenty years.
What right do they have, what right…
Xi An walked out. Seeing Lu Min by the wall with tears streaming down her face, she squatted down and hugged Lu Min in her arms to quietly comfort this self-blaming child.
Actually, she wanted to comfort and hug her son on the hospital bed more, because he really carried too much. It’s just that what he needs now is not her embrace. She, as a mother, cannot be his true reliance…
