Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 732 Go To Bed

"Okay, I hope you remember what you have said today. I will make you pay for your actions." Serge glared at Ouyang. He did not expect that Ouyang would be so stubborn. Regardless of what he said, Ouyang just wouldn't budge.

"Ha-ha!" Ouyang took a sip of tea while remaining calm. The tea today was not as sweet as before, but a little bitter.

Ouyang wondered. Was it because of the bitterness in his own heart?

Serge gave a murderous look as he warned word by word, "Karma will come to you!"

Ouyang wasn't affected at all. It was true that he had made a mistake, but he wasn't the one who injected the bacteria into Adrian's body. Even if there was karmic retribution, Eve would be the one suffering from it.

In the JR Hospital

It was already half-past ten at night.

The teachers had gone home to get some rest, and now only Mandy and Nathan were left in the ICU ward. According to the doctors, Adrian had to stay in the ICU until the reports came out.

Every muscle in Mandy's heart contorted in pain when she saw Adrian just lying there. She stared at Adrian's motionless body with her almond-shaped eyes. She wondered if her son was asleep or was he still in a coma.

Mandy felt a little guilty. She recalled that she had taken a lot of pills at the early stages of her pregnancy. If she hadn't taken those pills, then she could have protected her body from the damage. When she knew that she was pregnant, she insisted on keeping the baby despite the doctor's

opposition. She had only one thought at that time. 'Since God has blessed me with a little life, I can't just abort it.'

She betted on the chance that her child would come out healthy, but she lost miserably. Adrian suffered from a congenital heart disease right from his birth. Mandy never imagined that one day her son would pay the price of her doggedness.

If she had known that it would turn out like this, then she would not have given birth to the baby. Looking at all the tubes around Adrian's body, she felt a bit lightheaded. She could only imagine the pain he was feeling. He couldn't speak, so he couldn't even voice out his pain. He could only silently endure the pain. Can't speak; can't cry. How cruel was it?

'Adrian, it's all my fault. You've suffered a lot. It's all my fault, ' Mandy thought. Mandy's eyes trembled when she touched Adrian's feather-like small hand. The back of his hand was slightly warmed by Mandy's touch. While caressing his cold hands, her nose tingled, and she could no longer hold her tears back.

Sitting next to Mandy, Nathan wore a stern look on his handsome face. He remained silent as he understood Mandy's feelings. At the moment, he felt equally guilty.

He blamed himself for being too obstinate. He fell in love with Mandy at first sight. But the predicament he was in also affected her. At the same time, it caused their child to suffer a lot. Had he made up his mind earlier and let go of Sharon, then maybe things wouldn't have turned out as they did.

Adrian now lay on the bed, powerless and feeble. His once adorable face was now deathly pale.

Nathan couldn't bear Mandy's sad face, along with Adrian's condition. So lightly squeezing her hand, he held her in a tight embrace with his other hand.

Neither of them spoke because it was meaningless to say anything at the moment. Mandy didn't want Nathan to know about the guilt in her heart, and Nathan was also in a similar dilemma. He didn't want Mandy to know about his vulnerable side. So even though they maintained a tacit silence, their hearts beat together with their son's heart.

"Dad. Mom. Where am I?" At one o'clock the next morning, a childish voice reverberated in the ward.

Mandy was relieved. God knew how sleepy she was right now. They didn't even dare to blink their eyes, lest Adrian woke up to find his parents sleeping. They just kept on waiting for Adrian to wake up. And finally, Adrian woke up!

"Adrian, we're in the hospital. How do you feel? Do you feel anything wrong? In the afternoon, you got hurt in the kindergarten and were brought here to the hospital," Mandy said, skipping all of their worries and concerns. She made sure not to make him sad.

Frowning, he murmured, "I see."

"Adrian, close your eyes and sleep well. Mom and Dad are here with you." Even though Nathan's voice still had its usual calm, it also had a rare tenderness.

Pulling a warm smile on his pale face, he said, "Dad and Mom, you should sleep now."

"Okay, you go to sleep first." A touch of joy floated across Mandy's delicate face. She stretched out her hand and touched Adrian's smooth face, and she finally felt relieved.

Adrian quickly fell asleep. In the ICU ward, there was a big bed next to Adrian's bed. It was specially prepared for Nathan and Mandy, but neither of them used the bed.

Seeing the dark circles under Mandy's eyes, Nathan softened his tone and said, "Mand, go to bed first. I'll handle it from here."

"No, I won't." Mandy shook her head and said in a firm tone, "I don't want to sleep now. You should go to sleep instead. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Over the years, she had discovered that he was a workaholic. He couldn't stop working for even one day.

"I can take some time off from work. Go to sleep now, honey." Nathan pulled Mandy up. Although she looked rather reluctant, he had made up his mind and carried her to the bed.

After barely a second had passed, Mandy sat up with her eyebrows forming a frown. She said in a soft voice, "Nathan."

"Yes, I'm here. You close your eyes and get some rest first. We can talk tomorrow." He smiled gently and pressed Mandy's restless body down with his slender fingers.

As soon as Mandy's head touched the pillow, she yawned and fell asleep.

Nathan remained awake the whole night. This wasn't the first time that he hadn't slept for the entire night anyway. The time Adrian was receiving treatment in Switzerland was the most tiring period of his life.

Meanwhile, in the JS International reconnaissance department

All the people of the reconnaissance department were working overtime. The department's official name was the marketing department. JS International had two marketing departments. This was just to cover up the truth. After all, the people of the reconnaissance department had done too many things that must remain in the dark.

Outside the window, the stars were shining. It seemed like a peaceful night.
