Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye was rushed to the operating room as soon as they reached the hospital.

The surgeon asked Mu Tongrui, “Are you a family member?”

“I'm not.”

“The patient needs to undergo an operation immediately. Please contact his family now.”

Mu Tongrui worried doing so might take up more time. Thus, she asserted, “I am! I'm his family.”

The doctor frowned, “Are you or are you not? You can't sign the paper if you're not a family member.”

“I'm his spouse. I only said that because we were in a fight.”

Mu Tongrui's voice faded at the end, knowing how senseless she sounded.

What spouse? He's not my husband!

The doctor was unfriendly when he snatched away the agreement paper signed by Mu Tongrui. He scoffed, “Your husband is at death's door, yet you still care about your fight. I'm stunned.”

Mu Tongrui took the insult in silence, knowing how she might have sounded earlier. After the doctor left, she bit her lower lip and rested on a bench outside the operating room.

Mu Tongrui was in such a hurry that she was currently still in her nightgown and flip-flops.

Who is Fu Lingye to me anyway? Why should I worry more than his actual family?

She wished she could be heartless to him, but her uncontrollable concerns for him denied her that right. Troubled by her own contradictions, Mu Tongrui dropped her head.

Three hours later, just when Mu Tongrui was about to doze off on the cold bench, an opened door woke her up.

The surgeon walked out of the operating room and took off his mask.

Mu Tongrui shot up and dashed to the surgeon, “Doctor, how is he? Is it serious?”

The surgeon calmly explained, “The brain hemorrhage was under control, and he only suffered a slight concussion. His right arm, however, needed the most attention. That being said, everything has been taken care of. He wouldn't have to worry about any after effect. He needs to focus on getting good rest from now on.”

Mu Tongrui felt a weight being lifted off her shoulder, “Got it. Thanks so much.”
