President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 275

I lay there and listened to my cell phone ring upstairs again, and then it didn’t ring again.

My heart was almost cold.

The doorbell didn’t ring again.

At this time, Inez continued to wipe.

At last she came to the meeting room.

Inez stood at the door of the conference room and looked at me. There was not sympathy but joy on her face.

I knew she thought she was going to get my house so she was happy.

Inez didn’t say a word to me.

Of course, I didn’t have the strength to talk to her.

At this time, I couldn’t open my eyes at all.

I gradually lost consciousness. My body was cold and heavy and I couldn’t move a finger.

While I was lying, I vaguely heard a very noisy noise outside the door, but I didn’t know what happened.

I couldn’t care.

My eyelids got heavier and heavier and I finally closed them.

At that moment, I was thinking about Lester.

He was only four years old. He still had a long life. He didn’t have a father and his mother died.

He must be pitiful.

Sorry, Lester.

-

I didn’t know how long it took.

I just felt that my eyes were dark and my brain was active, but my body was not under my control.

I could vaguely feel something moving around.

Someone was talking.

And I had a clear sense that there had always been someone around me.

That man’s breath was always there. He was very close to me. Although I closed my eyes, I knew he was there.

I had been “sleeping” in the dark, and as time went on, I felt the sound around me more and more clearly.

I could even feel the nurse insert the needle into my blood vessel occasionally.

I could hear the nurse and the doctor talking about my illness.

And I had always felt that person. His big hand had been holding my hand.

He made me not afraid in the dark. I could feel clearly that I was alive.

I wanted to tell him I was here.

So I tried to hold his hand.

Maybe I succeeded. I felt the man holding my finger tightly and said to me, “you feel it, right?”

In response to him, I tried to shake his hand again.

Suddenly he let go of my hand.

My heart was cold.

Then a nurse came in.

But I was still not getting better.

After a long time the man continued to hold my hand. I heard him say in my ear, “you must be OK, or I won’t forgive myself.”

“I’m sorry. I always thought that what I did was to love you and to be nice to you, but now I understand that I have been hurting you.”

“Today I opened the letter you put in that red bag. I’m sorry. I opened it today because you said if I opened it, we would never meet again. I didn’t want it, so I didn’t open it.”

“I used to think I was smart and omnipotent, but when I saw that letter, I knew I was stupid. I believed her lies and have been hurting you who really saved me.”

“Please wake up. As long as you wake up, I’ll listen to you.”

“I’ll divorce Cindy as soon as you wake up. You can not choose me. As long as you’re alive and happy, I’m willing to do everything for you.”

“My life is saved by you. I’m willing to give my life to you. If you hate me, I’m willing to have nothing, and I’m willing to be a lonely person all my life. As long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter that I accompany you far away.”

“So please wake up...”

I lay there and listened to the man.

I could feel my heartache.

The feeling of heartache was more than all the feelings I felt now. It was so painful.

I didn’t want to die.

If I died, he would be sad.

He would.

I didn’t want to die. I wanted to be with him all the time and never parted.

This kind of thought was slowly extending in my mind. Heartache seemed to be all over me.

I didn’t know how long I slept.

Finally a ray of light came into my world!

When I realized I woke up, my brain was blank.

I thought I had a long dream. There was a man in my dream who was always with me.

“Becky.”

I opened my eyes and turned around and saw the man standing next to me.

It was Ming.

“You...” I opened my mouth slightly and felt it astringent.

He got up at once and pressed the bell on the side.

I looked around to make sure I was in the hospital.

Ming thought I was going to ask about myself. He grabbed my hand and said gently, “you’ve been in a coma for five days. Fortunately, you’re awake. If you don’t wake up, I may be going crazy.”

He was smiling when he spoke. I knew he was really happy because I woke up.

At this time, nurses and doctors came. They removed my stomach tube and examined me immediately.

I asked Ming, “have you been with me these days?”

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he nodded quickly, “yes, I’ve been with you.”

It was him.

I was grateful but a little disappointed.

But I knew I shouldn’t be disappointed.

How could Sean be with me?

“Thank you.” I looked at him and said, “I was in a coma, but I always seemed to feel you. I remember you said a lot to me. Because you are here, I can wake up so quickly.”

When I said that, I could see Ming’s eyes were obviously dimmed.

But he soon became gentle. He raised his hand and touched my head. “OK, let the doctor examine you first.”

“OK.”

I was obedient.

Ming took out his cell phone and went out first.

Someone came in while the doctor was measuring my blood pressure. I thought it was Ming.

I looked up and saw Sean.

He was obviously shocked when he saw that I woke up. He rushed over and hugged me. “You’re awake!”

I entered his warm arms.

He held me tightly in his strong arms. The temperature was familiar.

I was just held by him, but my tears couldn’t help falling.

I had a lot to say to him.

But all my words were stuck in my throat.

He was Cindy’s husband. Even if I was in a coma for a long time, I couldn’t forget that.

After a long time I suppressed all my impulses and desire to hold him. I said coldly, “President Jessop, thank you for coming to see me.”
