1639: I Want A Kiss

I Want A Kiss

Jing Xi served tea for the group of celebrities.0

When the time came, the nurses came to pick up Little Grape. Everyone kissed him goodbye and gave him encouragement.

But when the boy was about to leave, he turned back to Jing Xi.

He cuddled her on the leg and said, "Auntie Xiaoxi, I'm going to get surgery. Will you stay with me?"

Jing Xi squatted and gently touched his cheeks. She said, "Sweetheart, auntie is not going anywhere. I'm staying here to welcome you back. When you wake up you will be totally fine. Then you can play with Niuniu again. OK?"

"Sure."

"Now go ahead. You are the bravest!" Jing Xi hugged him again.

But Little Grape wanted more. He pointed at his cheek and said, "I want a kiss, like the one daddy and grandma gave me."

"Sure!" Jing Xi smiled and placed a firm kiss on his cheek. "How about that?"

"Good." Little Grape felt satisfied and left with the nurses.

He was brought into the preparation room, got changed, and then was sent to the operation room.

With the doors closed, they all waited anxiously outside the operation room. 

Jing Ruyue started praying for her grandson. So did Jing Xi.

Although he was not her son, she could not help loving him dearly and wishing him the best.

The surgery carried on for six hours. When the doctors came out they rushed to ask about the situation.

"Your Majesty, no worries. It was very successful. If nothing happens in 72 hours, he is most likely going to be fine."

With the doctor's explanation, they all felt relieved. But the following 72 hours were also crucial.

Jing Xi was also relieved to know that the surgery was successful.

Huo Yunshen was the most anxious. He was only able to feel a bit relaxed upon hearing so.

But once relaxed, he felt something wrong with himself. It was the stomachache again. The pain was overwhelming. He covered his stomach with his hands and sweated profusely.

Auntie Lan noticed it and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"Is that your stomach again? Let's go to see the doctor!"

Auntie Lan knew that when Jing Xi disappeared, he had begun drowning himself in alcohol and had suffered from stomach troubles ever since. 

With her being away lately, he must have not taken care of his stomach.

Huo Yunshen thought he would be fine soon. But it was worse than he expected. Jing Ruyue and her husband both urged him to see the doctor.

It was handy as they were already in the hospital. 

Huo Yunshen went to the doctor. After taking some pills he felt much better.

Jing Ruyue saw that he still looked pale. So she suggested, "Yunshen, you should go home and get some rest. We'll stay here. No worries."

Helian Qingyu said so too. "Bro, mother is right. Go home and take good care of yourself."

Jing Ruyue knew that they were both very busy. Therefore she added, "You should go home too, Qingyu. You go back to your duties. And we'll stay here with Little Grape."
