The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

During the conversation, only Long Jie noticed that the door to Zhenyi's room opened. He straightened up and waited for the doctors to come out and fuse back life into him. His heart raced frantically in his chest and his eyes keenly looked at the door, waiting for the doctor to come out and tell them that she was alright because now he would not accept any bad news related to her.  And as soon as it opened, he walked over and questioned, "Doctor, how is my wife now?"

He was ready to trade anything for her life. Anything. 

The doctor nodded as he removed his mask and looked at him with a complicated gaze. Truly, they had declared her dead in their heads as they could not find her heartbeat but like a miracle, her heart started beating again after shutting down for few seconds. They would not agree but it was their saving grace too. He knew what Xin Yichen was capable of doing to them if they were not able to save his daughter's life. 

The doctor had heard of such cases never had he ever imagined that in his medical career, he would be dealing with such a case. And that too of Xin Yichen's daughter. 

The doctors were not only afraid of Xin Yichen and Long Jie but mostly because of the man who brought the patient. He had accompanied them till the end. He was not willing to budge from his spot. Though that dangerous man was no doctor, he still stood there and nobody dared to ask him to go out. 

The doctor again looked at Long Jie and inwardly sighed. He didn't know how he would take the news especially after he had watched him begging for his wife's life. 

If someone had told him before that Xin Zhenyi and Long Jie were happily married he would have punched that person on his face but after seeing it today with his own eyes, he didn't know what to say. 

Truly, love wrecks you.

Hearing Long Jie's voice as he called out the doctor, everyone else also turned to the doctor as if expecting some answers. Through long minutes and painful breaths, they waited.

Not knowing her fate.

Not knowing the baby's fate.

It was agonizing. 

  But none of them dared to ask anything. It was as if they were afraid of the answers. Especially Long Jie who had been blaming himself since the beginning. 

  The doctor reported after examining what their reactions would be."We found an epidural hematoma that was growing. So we used aspiration to relieve the pressure from the brain and drain the blood clot she has."

"Blood clot? Epidural hematoma?" Xin Yichen asked and fell on the chair. 

"Uncle Chen," said Aria as she ran towards Xin Yichen and held him.

Long Jie just glanced at the doctor. He was aware that Epidural hematoma was a brain injury but it always didn't mean it was deadly.

"Master Xin, An epidural hematoma can put pressure on the patient's brain and cause it to swell. As it swells, the brain may shift in the skull. It was not very severe in Miss Xin's case but we had to conduct a burr hole aspiration to relieve the pressure," the doctor explained in lay man's words.

"So, the epidural hematoma is not an issue anymore?" Long Jie cautiously asked.

"The surgery was a success and it went without any complications," the doctor said. "But she was injured at other places too and the burns on her body will take time before healing. It may take several weeks or months too." 

"Congratulations, she is out of danger for now but we have to keep her in the close examination for the next few weeks," the doctor further said, easing many of them.

"Can I see her?" asked Long Jie as he was already opening the door.

Long Jie's grip on the lock slipped as he heard another question. 

"How's the baby?" asked Xin Yichen, almost trembling. He didn't know why but he couldn't help but ask though he had an answer in his heart and how badly he wanted it to be wrong.

The doctor sighed. " She had already lost it due to the loss of oxygen and collision. I'm sorry but it was not in our hands."

Ming Jia who was standing beside Aria felt as if she was several years back. Almost a decade ago, a tempest had hit this family and blown it into pieces. She had an idea which storm was going to hit this family again. Though Zhenyi was strong, maybe stronger than any woman she had met, but she had a very weak heart when it came to her family. And now it was her flesh and blood.

She knew that Zhenyi would never be able to take the news. Especially after what had happened during her mother's death. 

Everyone else except Xin Yichen and Long Jie was shocked when they heard about the baby. No one knew about her pregnancy. Heck, even Zhenyi herself had no idea about it. 

All the sounds around Long Jie ceased. His chest ached painfully, the knowledge of what was happening squeezing the muscle inside him as he stared at the blood that had dried on his hand. 

Her blood. 

It could be that baby's blood. 

And it was happening just because of him. 

He failed again. He failed as a father this time. They were right, he really was a failure in their life and now he was the failure of his own life too. 

His selfishness took their baby away. He asked the Almighty to give him Zhenyi and take anything in return and He did. He took their baby away. The baby they had no idea about. 

Zhenyi? What would he tell her? And how would he tell her? Would she be hurt as he was? 

He knew she would be devastated. She would lose it. She loved her family more than anything else in the world. And the baby, it was her family. Her flesh and blood.

' I'm not afraid of getting hurt or even dying but I don't think I can survive if my family is harmed in any way. I'll go crazy and this time for real and no cure in the world will be sufficient for my insanity.'

  'I pray, I get all their pains and sufferings in their place. And if one has to die, it should be me not my family.'

Her words were ringing in his head. He held his head tightly with his hands as if stopping these voices but there was no stopping it. He was going crazy. 

The voices changed in his head. Instead of Zhenyi's, it was her mother this time , shouting at her, calling him what he was not, and cursing his future and happiness. 

'You ruined my life. I pray that you will suffer as much as you made me suffer. You will cry tears of blood. You mute imbecile.'

'You won, mom. I'm suffering as much as you suffered because I was born to you. I'll suffer all my life now like I've been suffering all along but this time, I'll be the cause of her sorrows too.'

He could not breathe. It felt as if someone was choking him. Tears burned behind his lids, but he didn't let them fall. What would be the benefit of tears when his heart was bleeding? Finally, the heart made of steel was melting and it was not a good feeling. It hurt. It was hurting like no pain he had experienced before. 

He needed to run away. He needed to leave this place and never come back. He couldn't handle it. 

'Run, Long Jie, and never come back. 

Run, Long Jie, and leave her here to die in her sorrow. 

Run, Long Jie like you always do.'

No. 

No. No. 

No. No. No. 

He couldn't. He shouldn't. And he wouldn't. 

She needed him as much as he needed her. She had always been the light to his darkness, but now he needed to be hers.

He push down how desperately scared he was. Because no matter what he felt, he needed to protect her, save her. And he would. Because only after saving her, he could save himself.

He had been lost before but now the goal of his life was clear. It was not power, nor money and influence, or even revenge. It was her. He needed to be what she needed now. And Heaven knew that he would be. Even if it meant, he would be dying inside every moment, he would be what she needed.
