The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 857 - He Was Finally Awake

Chapter 857: He Was Finally Awake

He Xiyan did not care where Mo Yixuan had disappeared to, neither did she care about what he was about to do. She sat quietly by Chen Jiahang’s hospital bed and would look up occasionally to check on the IV drip and the data on the monitors.
She relaxed when she saw that the numbers were within normal range but she still couldn’t help but be worried about Jiahang.
She ate a small bowl of congee, some bread, and a bottle of water at around 8 PM. She didn’t have much of an appetite but she forced herself to eat so that she could have the energy to look after Jiahang.
However, she was still extremely weak since she had barely eaten over the past three days, so she soon fell asleep. She slept beside Jiahang’s bed and drifted off into a deep sleep. She didn’t even notice the callused hand in her hands twitch suddenly.
Chen Jiahang who had been sleeping for more than ten hours suddenly frowned and his body shook from the sharp pain in his head. He gritted his teeth and let out a soft groan.
It hurt.
He felt as though his head was about to explode and this pain was so intense that gooseflesh ran down his body.
He quickly pulled his hand away from whatever was holding his hand and placed his hand on his head. Then, he took his hand off his head when he felt the gauze on his head.
Then, scenes from the past came flooding back and replayed in his mind like a movie on fast-forward mode. This caused his headache to intensify.
“Ah…” he growled in pain. Then, his breathing quickened.
He Xiyan rubbed at her eyes when she heard the noises he was making and slowly sat up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Jiahang who was already conscious.
“Jiahang…” He Xiyan said as she gripped his hands anxiously. “You’re finally awake,” she said emotionally and her eyes swam with happy tears.
She quickly reached out to press the call button to request the doctor to come into the ward and check on him.
The doctor had already told her that she was supposed to let him know when Jiahang regained consciousness.
However, someone stopped her before she could touch the call button and Jiahang took her hand in his.
He shook his head and gestured for her not to press the call button.
“Jiahang…” He Xiyan said as she wiped the tears from her eyes and sniffled. She was smiling through her tears like a fool.
Chen Jiahang’s lips curved upward and he looked at her tenderly.
This was the first time she saw Jiahang smiling at her so tenderly and this was not his usual innocent and childlike smile.
She guessed that the operation must have been a success since he smiled.
Her worry and anxiety slowly gave way to excitement and happiness and happy tears spilled from her eyes.
Jiahang let go of her hand and stretched out to wipe the tears from her face.
“Don’t cry…” he mouthed silently as he shook his head. He was still smiling at her in the same tender manner.
He Xiyan smiled. She wasn’t crying and even if she was, these were happy tears.
She could tell that his operation had been a success and he wasn’t showing signs of being in a vegetative state or being intellectually challenged as the doctor had warned.
