Chapter 23
The workaholic husband
Finally, after a while, his condition became normal. Holding his head slowly, when he got up, everyone started looking at him.
"Xi Song, are you okay?"
"Dr. Song, are you feeling well?"
Nodding his head, he flashed a tiny smile. "Yes, I am. Don't need to worry."
"How can we not? Your body becomes so weak. Xi Song, take a rest and eat properly. I'll handle the stuff for today. Go and rest."
He knew he had absolutely no sieve in front of Ling Xiao. "Okay, then. Call me if you need any help."
Coming out of the hospital with feeble steps.
And despite exhaustion, he drove the car and reached home.
When he slowly opened the door, his gaze fell on Xing, who had already slept waiting for him on the table.
Seeing the food covered with plates, a strange colored smile appeared on Xi Song's face.
He felt comfort whenever he saw Xing's sleeping face. As if it was like a relaxing pill for him. His heart said that he just kept looking at her day and night.
But then Xing opened her eyes and met Xi Song. Both were out of the world for a moment when Xing tapped her cheeks. "Xi Song? When did you come?"
"Just a moment ago."
Seeing the time, she stood up and started taking the plate towards the kitchen. "It's already cold. Let me heat it. Till then, you get fresh. I'll serve the food again."
Confused, Xi Song stared at Xing. "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"I was waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, there was definitely some excitement in Xi Song's heart. As if her words were attacking him gently.
.................................
After taking out his tiredness in the shower, when he came out while feeling refreshed, the smile on Xing's face lightened him.
He took a seat while facing Xing, and they ate together.
Not too long when she noticed him, she leaned ahead. "Xi Song, I have something to tell you."
Focusing on his food, he hummed as Xing continued. "I have a plan to get rid of this marriage."
Hearing this, his hands stopped there as he raised his head and waited for Xing to speak. But it didn't seem right to him. He could feel that negative aura.
"As this marriage is not worthy for any of us. How about we give divorce to each other? Like not now, we have to wait for two months, at least."
Shocked, he tried to keep his poker face. "Oh! Do you want a divorce?"
"I mean, we can get back to our daily lives. Just two months more. Well, will you agree?"
No matter how much he suppressed emotions, he definitely didn't want to. But that aroused face of Xing didn't even let him listen to his heart.
"If you want, we'll file for a divorce in the next two months," Xi Song replied in a lowkey voice.
A smile appeared on her lips as she excitedly clasped her hands.
"Yes! I knew it. You'll never say no."
After this, Xi Song's face became like a withered flower. As if he had lost his soul, and only his body remained.
When he stood up after eating, his head started giddy again, and he had already collapsed when Xing caught hold of him.
"Xi Song?"
While holding his head, he tried to move but failed. Xing extended her hand and touched his forehead. "Oh, my god. You have a fever."
"It's alright, Xingyue."
"NO! Come with me."
With his hands in her arms, she brought Xi Song to the bedroom while supporting his back and made him lie on the bed.
"Xingyue, it's late already. You have an office tomorrow."
"No excuses."
Shutting his mouth, she went to the bathroom and took out a tiny bucket filled with cold water.
Taking a seat beside him, she dipped the towel in the bucket and then placed it on his head.
"You don't need to do this, Xing."
"Xi Song, you're a doctor. At least, take care of your health."
Opening the nearby drawer, she got medicine.
Taking the jug, she filled a glass with water and gave it to him.
"Take it, Dr. Song."
While taking care of Xi Song all night, she fell asleep. When the morning came, she didn't know.
........................................
When the rays of the sun fell on her face, she felt morning tides.
Rubbing her eyes, she let out a yawn and looked for Xi Song. But not spotting him was a wonder to Xing.
"Did he go to the hospital so early?"
Sighing, she stood up and went to the bathroom to do her daily routine.
When she entered the hall as soon as she got ready. It startled her to find Xi Song in the kitchen.
"Oh! Xi Song, I thought you went early."
While focusing on the food, he replied. "I took a leave today. Or else Ling Xiao will kill me."
"That's great. You should rest as well. Stay healthy to keep your patients healthy, Dr. Song."
Grinning, he bowed. "I'll follow your orders, Dr. Li."
Moving to the kitchen, she took out the jar of juice and placed it down. "What are your plans for today? Are you going to rest or going out with your girlfriend?"
"Why do you think I have a girlfriend?"
Glancing at him, she narrowed her eyes while scoffing. "Isn't it a normal thing? You're handsome and have a stable job. What else does a girl need?"
"Do you think I'm handsome?" he said, raising his one eyebrow, making her frown.
"I- I mean to say nurses love you. Even they give you the title of the best doctor."
"How do you know so much about my hospital?"
With a smirk plastered on her face, she whispered. "Ling Xiao told me."
"What else he told you?"
Joining her thumb and the index finger, she zipped her mouth.
"It's a... secret."
Pressing her lips, she ran away when Xi Song shouted. "Yah! Tell me, what else he told you? You can't go, Xingyue."
Taking her purse, she waved at him and hurried towards the door while Xi Song ran after her. "Yah! Tell me first. XINGYUE!"
