Chapter 1253: I Knew You Would Come
Chapter 1253: I Knew You Would Come
The third chapter of the day.
——
“Because she knows I am waiting for her.”
Noah felt speechless. It was president Lu who had ordered him to get Lu Lijun. That means she was aware of what condition Lu Lijun was in but she didn’t come to him even after so many hours had passed.
“Fine then. If you won’t listen to me, I’ll sit here and die with you,” Noah said and sat on the wooden bench.
Lu Lijun sighed, “Noah, if you are really my friend, then just leave me here.”
“I am really your friend, that’s why I am ready to die with you,” Noah countered.
“I am begging you,” Lu Lijun said, his voice sounding weaker than before.
Noah felt as if something had hurt in his heart as he couldn’t see his friend like this.
“Lijun, there are other ways….”
“Listen to me, please,” Lu Lijun said as he was still sitting the same. There was not a tinge on his face that showed his inner struggle to fight that cold and the emotions he was feeling at that moment. His eyes carried only hope of seeing someone in front of him.
Noah knew he wouldn’t listen and stood up. Once president Lu will know he had left him alone, she might come to see him. ‘I hope she will come,’ Noah thought and left in his car. He knew Lu Lijun was holding onto himself with much effort and he didn’t want to ruin it for him.
Jiang Yuyan had locked herself in her room and was seeing on her phone that Noah had left Lu Lijun alone.
‘What are they doing? Why did he leave alone?’ She felt worried and called San Zemin.
“Why is he still there?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
“Boss, seems like he didn’t listen to his friend,” San Zemin replied.
Jiang Yuyan frowned, “I am coming there.”
She got her car keys, put on her winter coat, and left in a hurry, not telling others where she was going. She had sent the driver home thinking there was no need and she had to drive by herself. It was a long-distance from her parent’s home to where Lu Lijun was at that moment. It was a relief that it was night and due to snowfall and cold, there were hardly any vehicles on the road.
She drove as fast as she could as each passing moment worried her about him. Once she reached there after what felt like an eternity to her, she stepped out of the car and ran towards him.
Lu Lijun, who was still staring ahead, finally saw a familiar figure running towards him after stepping out for the car that was parked some distance away from the park’s boundary. His vision was blurry but he could still recognize her. He felt like it was a dream but he still desperately wished for it to accept it as a reality. He didn’t move his sight from her even for a moment as if he did, it would pull him out of that dream.
Catching her breath, Jiang Yuyan stood in front of him, “You…why are you sitting here?” She sounded angry but worried at the same time.
Not a single word said by her reached his ears as if he was deaf. His tired eyes brightened up seeing her there even if it was a dream for him and he stood up and slowly took a step ahead towards her, gathering every bit of energy left in him.
Jiang Yuyan could see he would collapse any moment and was about to hold him but he hugged her before that.
“I knew, you would come to me, Yuyan,” he said and the next moment Jiang Yuyan felt a sudden weight on her. Lu Lijun had gone unconscious.
“Lu Lijun,” she called him out but there was no reaction from him.
San Zemin ran towards them and his men helped get Lu Lijun into the car and made him lay on the back passenger seat. Jiang Yuyan sat inside as she put his head on her lap and ordered, “Increase the temperature and go to the hospital.”
San Zemin did so and they had arranged everything at the hospital. Lu Lijun was taken to the isolated VIP ward as no one should know about it or it would be news the next day.
The doctor treated Lu Lijun and informed her, “He is fine now.”
Jiang Yuyan went to his room where the other doctor was present and informed, “Due to sitting in the cold for so long, his body temperature has dropped to a dangerous level. If it was late, it would have been worse.”
Jiang Yuyan looked at the unconscious Lu Lijun lying in bed in a patient’s clothes and had IV drips attached to his one hand and had an oxygen mask on his face.
“Don’t worry about it, President Lu. His breathing would be normal by the morning and he wouldn’t need it. He needs to rest for a few days.”
Jiang Yuyan only nodded slightly and the doctor left. She was worried for him but she didn’t show it on her face till now. But the moment she sat at the edge of his bed, she held his hand and tears rolled down her eyes. She could think of nothing at all and continued to cry silently.
——
The next day Lu Lijun woke up, only to see Jiang Yuyan sitting on the chair next to his bed as she had rested her head on his bed. She was still holding his hand.
‘So, I was not dreaming but she really came for me,’ he concluded and a light smile painted on his lips.
Jiang Yuyan sensed the movement in bed and looked at him to know if he was fine.
Their sights met and Jiang Yuyan asked, “How are you feeling?”
“I felt good the moment I saw you there,” he replied.
“I am serious. Tell me how you are feeling. Can you breathe fine now?” she asked.
He nodded and the next moment coughed.
She panicked, “I’ll call the doctor.”
Lu Lijun held her hand, “I am fine.”
She turned to look at him, “You are not. Let me call the doctor.”
Lu Lijun let go of her hand and she called for the doctor.
The doctor examined Lu Lijun and said, “President Lu he is fine but needs to stay away from the cold and only rest for a few days. Don’t do anything that will exhaust him. Fever and a little cough and cold will be there for a few days but there is nothing to worry about. He will be fine with the medicines I have prescribed.”
“When can he be discharged?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
“Tomorrow. Till then it will be better to keep under observation though he is fine,” said the doctor.
Jiang Yuyan nodded and the doctor left. All this while, Lu Lijun was only staring at the worried woman. He was happy seeing her like this. However tough and ignorant she acted, she could never stop worrying about him.
Jiang Yuyan had already informed that she wouldn’t be home and about Lu Lijun, his family thought he was as usual away from home.
