"Are you okay? Is it serious? "
"I'm in the hospital, I'm fine now... Come and fetch me... Mmh, the city's People's Hospital..."
Qiao Anxia hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the ward. She wanted to say goodbye to Lu Jinnian and tell him that she would be leaving soon, but before she could reach the door, she saw him sitting by the bed with a towel in his hand, wiping her skin.
Qiao Anxia paused, staring at the ward without blinking.
Lu Jinnian wiped her skin carefully and seriously, as though he was trying to get rid of all traces of producer Sun's touch.
After he was done, Lu Jinnian picked up the clothes his assistant had brought over. Even though Qiao Anhao's body was covered and his back was facing her, Qiao Anxia could tell from his back that he had changed her clothes gently and tenderly.
After changing, he laid her down on the bed. He sat by the bed, his gaze fixed on her as she slept. He reached out to caress her face, his long and beautiful fingers lingering on her temples, unwilling to leave.
Qiao Anxia could only see the side of his face. She couldn't make out his gaze, but from his expression, she could see a warmth and gentleness that she had never seen on his face in all the years she had known him.
In that instant, Qiao Anxia felt like he was a stranger.
She stood rooted to the ground, as though her pressure points had been pressed. She didn't move an inch until the phone in her hand vibrated again. Qiao Anxia snapped back to reality, lowering her head to see that it was a call from Chen Yang. She picked it up. "Xia Xia, I'm at the hospital entrance."
Qiao Anxia snapped back to reality, replying softly, "I'll be right down."
She hung up the phone, glancing at the ward. Lu Jinnian lowered his head, gently planting a kiss between her brows. Qiao Anxia hurriedly turned her head away. She didn't greet Lu Jinnian, turning to leave.
When she reached the staircase, Lu Jinnian's assistant came back from the washroom. "Miss Qiao, where are you going?"
"Chen Yang is here to pick me up, I'll head back first."
"Then Miss Qiao, take care."
"Goodbye," Qiao Anxia said with a smile and went downstairs.
After Qiao Anxia got into the car, she said a few words to Chen Yang before closing her eyes. Chen Yang assumed she was tired, so he didn't disturb her. Instead, he took off his jacket and draped it over her.
He drove straight to his apartment in the city. After parking the car, he didn't call Qiao Anxia, but gently carried her up the stairs.
Chen Yang placed Qiao Anxia on the bed and gently covered her with a blanket. He then kissed her long hair before heading to the bathroom.
Qiao Anxia shut her eyes, lying motionlessly on the bed. Only when she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom did she bury her face into the blankets. In that instant, the image of him tucking her in and kissing her before she left the hospital appeared in her mind.
Just a few hours ago, she had coincidentally bumped into him at the entrance of the hotel restroom. She had called out to him, wanting to get a definite answer. She wanted to ask him if the woman he had loved all these years was Qiao Anhao.
But before she could ask, there was no need to ask anymore.
