In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

Seeing Xu Jinzhi struggling to breathe, the nurse had no choice but to put an oxygen mask on her. "Listen to me, breathe slowly, don’t panic!"

Xu Jinzhi, heeding the nurse’s advice, tried to calm herself down. She couldn’t afford to panic now!

The nurse saw that Xu Jinzhi had gradually calmed down and let out a slight sigh of relief.

The doctor also quickly arrived at the ICU and began to examine Xu Jinzhi’s current condition. While the doctor was examining Xu Jinzhi, Xie Yanchuan arrived at the ICU wearing sterile garments.

"Jinzhi!" Xie Yanchuan called out with a trembling voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Jinzhi looked over subconsciously, and as she saw Xie Yanchuan, tears once again spilled from her eyes.

At that moment, her mind was filled with concern for Tuantuan.

But the instant she saw Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi suddenly remembered her dream where Xie Yanchuan had pushed her away, saying, "Go back!"

Overwhelmed with sadness, Xu Jinzhi’s entire body began to shake, and the monitor alarm sounded intermittently.

Seeing this, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t care less if his approach would disturb the doctors; he crouched by the bedside, grabbing Xu Jinzhi’s hand that did not have an IV needle, "Jinzhi, don’t be afraid, I’m right here."

"It’s okay now, there’s nothing to worry about; don’t be scared!"

Xu Jinzhi was still trembling, but so was Xie Yanchuan. However, he was forced to make himself stay calm.

As Xu Jinzhi turned her head slightly to look at him, Xie Yanchuan continued, "Jinzhi, don’t rush, breathe slowly. I’m here with you, and I will always be by your side!"

Xu Jinzhi was too excited at the moment, her mind somewhat groggy, and she wasn’t even sure if Xie Yanchuan beside her was real.

But she still couldn’t help following what Xie Yanchuan said, slowly breathing in sync with him.

The doctor had been ready to administer a sedative, but seeing that the patient had begun to settle down, he put the sedative down.

Seizing the moment, the doctor quickly continued to check on Xu Jinzhi’s condition.

After the examination, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Xie Yanchuan, "Your wife is basically out of danger now and can be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow morning."

"But she still requires careful attention. She has wounds, and the premature birth has caused significant harm to her body; she needs to recover well."

"Also, try to keep her emotions from getting too excited, and pay more attention to her diet. In short, it requires extra care, and seek a doctor immediately if there are any problems."

After giving instructions to Xie Yanchuan, who listened attentively, the doctor said, "We’ll be going now."

"Thank you for your trouble," Xie Yanchuan said with a hoarse voice.

Then the doctor left, and the nurse followed, leaving the couple alone for a while.

Xie Yanchuan reached out to touch Xu Jinzhi’s cheek, his eyes red, and said with a heart full of distress, "Does it hurt a lot?"

It truly did hurt for Xu Jinzhi, but what remained in her mind was the scene of Xie Yanchuan asking her to leave. Unable to hold back, she said, "Don’t, don’t leave me behind."

"What did you say?" Xie Yanchuan knew Xu Jinzhi had said something.

He just didn’t catch it because her voice was very weak, and with the oxygen mask on, her words fogged up the mask, preventing him even from seeing the shape of her lips.

Seeing Xu Jinzhi on the verge of tears again, Xie Yanchuan didn’t even pay attention to what she was saying, and hurriedly comforted her, "Don’t cry! Jinzhi, don’t cry."

Xie Yanchuan guessed that Xu Jinzhi was scared because of what had happened, and also worried about Tuantuan, so he quickly said, "Tuantuan is doing well too, it’s just that he was born prematurely and is now in an incubator."

Once you’re feeling better, you’ll be able to see him!"

With the pad of his finger, Xie Yanchuan carefully wiped the tears from Xu Jinzhi’s eyes, then tenderly kissed her forehead.

Over and over, he said, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll always be with you," not knowing whether he was comforting Xu Jinzhi or himself.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t stay awake for long before she fell asleep again, her body too weak to stay up much longer.

After Xu Jinzhi fell asleep, Xie Yanchuan looked at her, with a confluence of heartache and indifference in his eyes.

Previously, Xie Yanchuan had always been emotionally detached; even when others harmed him, he didn’t care. But now, he repeatedly thought about making those who hurt Xu Jinzhi pay!

This was the first time in his life he had hated someone so deeply!

He wouldn’t let those who hurt Xu Jinzhi get away with it, he would make sure they paid the price!

All the suffering that Jinzhi and the baby had endured, he would return a thousand-fold!

The next day.

When Xu Jinzhi woke up again, the first thing she saw was the people surrounding her. She instinctively tried to speak, but her throat was so dry that she couldn’t make a sound.

Seeing this, Xie Yanchuan hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and brought it with a straw prepared in advance so that Xu Jinzhi could drink while lying down.

As Xu Jinzhi drank the water, she watched them, her mind, previously muddled, now much clearer.

After drinking some more, Xu Jinzhi stopped, and Xie Yanchuan set the cup aside and took a cotton swab dipped in water to gently moisten her dry lips.

After Xie Yanchuan finished this series of actions, Xu Zhen asked with a pained expression, "Jinzhi, are you feeling better? Does it still hurt anywhere?"

Xu Jinzhi looked at her father, who seemed to have aged several years in a short time, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. Holding back tears, she shook her head at Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen continued, "Don’t be afraid. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell Dad, and I’ll find a doctor for you. You’ll feel better soon."

It was as if he was comforting Xu Jinzhi when she was a child. Back then, she understood nothing, and even if she was hurt, she wouldn’t feel the pain as long as Xu Zhen was comforting her.

Still, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but tear up, causing Xu Zhen to look helplessly at Xie Yanchuan.

The doctor had instructed them not to agitate the patient, as her current emotional fluctuations could be harmful to her health!

But in that moment, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t think of how to comfort Xu Jinzhi, other than awkwardly asking her not to cry.

Fortunately, Xu Jin had already calmed herself inwardly. What had happened was irreversible, and further emotion would be futile. She needed to face it.

Suppressing her emotions, Xu Jinzhi quietly asked, "How is Tuantuan?"

Xu Zhen glanced at Xie Yanchuan again, his eyes filled with worry, clearly troubled by this topic.
