Chương 230: Tenacity

Xiu Mei almost shot up from her bed as she went into a coughing fit as soon as she woke up. She felt a comforting hand on her back then a glass of water appeared before her eyes. She drank it slowly until she felt her throat didn't feel too itchy and stuffy anymore.

"Thank you." She subconsciously spoke. The hand on her back paused and Xiu Mei herself suddenly felt her mind turning clear as she realized what just happened. 

She lifted her gaze and saw a doctor and a pair of nurses at the foot of her bed, her son holding a glass of water and Lu Chen close by her side. 

Before she could try to open her mouth again, Lu Chen signaled something to the nurse before running out. 

"I…" Xiu Mei touched her throat and looked at Lu Chen. She noticed the worry in his eyes as he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her hair. 

"Thank god you woke up. You made me so worried." He murmured while he clasped her hand with his.
