Chapter 948: I’ve Been Waiting for Someone

The tiny human moved the hearts of all in the room. Only Zhou Yao’s face was dark and solemn. His white gloves were already soaked with blood, yet her wound was still bleeding.

He did not know what to do. All he could do was to stitch up her wound with a needle at the moment.

His hands were trembling, and his breathing was erratic. He did not even notice how his stitching was ill-performed and crooked. It was so unpleasant, like a crawling worm.

After the wound was sewn up, he took off the white gloves and wiped his hands unsteadily. He sat by the bed and held Leng Zhiyuan’s cold little hand tightly, “Honey, hold on for a little longer. The medical reinforcements from abroad will arrive soon. You will be fine.”

He said those words to reassure her as well as himself.

The female military doctor carried the baby away. Leng Zhiyuan looked right into Zhou Yao’s eyes. She was very weak, and her eyelids felt very heavy. She wanted to sleep, a sleep that she doesn’t want to wake up from.

She looked at the strong and handsome face in front of her and said, “It’s my body...I know...I can’t make it.”

“Don’t say that!” Zhou Yao quickly covered her mouth with his hand. He was anxious and angry. He frowned and stared at her. He said sternly, “I don’t want to hear that kind of talk. Don’t say that, or I’ll be angry!”

Leng Zhiyuan’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She smiled and closed her eyes. “Okay, I won’t say that anymore. ”

Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Zhou Yao quickly reached out and pinched her face. Then he leaned over and coaxed, “Honey, don’t go to sleep, you can’t sleep! Did I speak too harshly just now? Sorry, don’t be angry. Open your eyes, let’s chat...”

Hot tears slid down again from the corner of Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes. She didn’t open her eyes but asked in a hoarse voice, “Is Ye Ziyi... dead?”

“Mmm, he’s dead,” Zhou Yao pecked her cheek and buried his head in her pink neck. His words came out in a low register like they were whispers of love. “You lied to me, didn’t you?”

“Yes. When I was... two months pregnant, I bled... once. I knew... that the baby was in danger by then. It was Ye Ziyi who asked... the High Priest to help me keep the baby. Every day... I have to drink medicine. Ye Ziyi said that the medication can’t be stopped. If it stops... the baby will be born prematurely...”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Zhou Yao licked his dry lips. His eyes were very wet. Warm tears fell on her pink neck one drop after another. “If you told me, we could negotiate with Ye Ziyi...”

“There’s no need for that. You and I both know what Ye Ziyi wants... I don’t want to go with him. He can’t tolerate my child. Even if... the baby comes out safely, he won’t let... the baby grow up healthily and safely. So... I can’t go with him... eight and a half months. You came right on time for me to give birth.”

As she spoke, Leng Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes. “Also, you said that you are... the father. I believed you, so I didn’t want anything to happen to you. I’m relieved... to leave the child in your hands.”

Zhou Yao lifted his head from her pink neck. When he opened his eyes, the man’s eyes were bloodshot, and they looked hopeless. He sobbed, saying, “Honey, aren’t you... too selfish? You gave your son to me, and you want to ... leave us... It’s my first time being a father, and I don’t... know anything. I imagined that I would raise the child with you, but you want to leave me... ”

Leng Zhiyuan focused on the man in front of her. She raised her hand with difficulty, wanting to trace his facial features, “Zhou Yao, is it? I’ve remembered your... name... All this time I spent here, it felt as if... something was missing in my life. But I didn’t know... what was missing. I think I’ve been... waiting for someone, because... I often sit in front of the window... in a daze, looking into the distant path...”

Zhou Yao burst into tears. His lips trembled as he cried bitterly, “Sorry, honey, I’m late. It’s my fault...”

He reached out his large palm to hold her little hand that was still in the air.

Did she want to touch him?

Yes, yes, she could touch him for as long as she wanted. He was hers!

But before he could hold her hand, he saw how her little hand dropped down from midair. Leng Zhiyuan slowly closed her eyes.

“Sister-in-law!” Xiao Zhi quickly went forward. He reached out his hand to check Leng Zhiyuan’s breathing. She was not breathing...

Xiao Zhi took two steps back in panic. He shook his head and thought, “No, this can’t be true. Why?”

A mournful wail rang in his ears. Zhou Yao froze. He stared blankly at the woman lying on the bed. She seemed to have just fallen asleep. Her face appeared peaceful, there was even a trace of a smile.

Although she had suffered extreme pain before she died, she did not suffer for too long.

She died very peacefully.

Zhou Yao reached out his large palm and touched her small face. Her entire body was ice-cold, bone-piercing ice cold. He muttered to himself in a daze, “Honey, I know you’re sleepy. It’s okay. You can sleep for a while, and I’ll bring you home very soon... We have a son. We’re already a happy family of three...”

The female military doctor held the baby in her arms. The baby seemed to have sensed something and was crying at the top of his lungs. The female military doctor’s heart ached as she rocked the baby in her arms. Then, she wept as she persuaded Zhou Yao, “Major General, don’t be like this. Sister-in-law doesn’t want to see you like this. The baby is crying so hard. You should hold him...”

The female military doctor handed the baby over.

“Go away!” Zhou Yao swung his hand in the female military doctor’s direction.

“Major General!” Xiao Zhi quickly caught the female military doctor, who was staggering backward. “Major General, you almost hurt the baby...”

Before he finished his sentence, Zhou Yao suddenly stood up and strode out.

“Major General, where are you going?”

...

Zhou Yao rushed outside. The other Red Flame soldiers were cleaning up the mess. They piled up the dead people. Zhou Yao rushed over and stretched out his big palm to move the bodies.

“Ye Ziyi, where are you? Come out! I know you are not dead. You are not one to die so easily. Come out and give my wife back to me!”

“Major General, what are you doing?” The Red Flame soldiers did not know what has gotten into Zhou Yao. He seemed to have been possessed. His hands moved mechanically as the Red Flame soldiers stepped forward to stop him.

“Get lost!” Before the Red Flame soldiers could touch Zhou Yao’s body, Zhou Yao had already flung them away.

“Major General!”

Zhou Yao’s eyes were bloodshot. He looked for Ye Ziyi’s body with a ferocious expression, “Ye Ziyi, I know now why you looked at me and smiled. You knew that only you could save her life, but you compelled me to shoot you to death. The bargaining chip in the last game was not Han Xuan. You were betting on your life, you psycho, sick b*stard. You destroyed what you couldn’t get. Now, you got what you wanted. You’ve taken her with you. But what about me? What should I do?”
