Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 332 - So-Called Hope

When everyone left her room to give her some time to rest. Xu Mey couldn't sleep. She could feel something was wrong. People were hiding something from her. There was no way that her Ah-Jie came and left without saying hi to her. No, no! He won't even move from her side. Something was definitely wrong right now!

Xu Mey pulled off the needles from her hand a bit forcefully and drops of blood started trickling down her hand. She didn't care at all. She put on her slippers and made her way outside the room.

"How long can we lie to her? I'm really hating myself right now!" Xu Mey heard Wu w.a.n.g complaining to someone as she was about to turn down a corridor. She halted in her steps trying to hide her presence.

"Do we have another choice? None of us wants to lie but the truth is too painful." Li Qiao patted Wu w.a.n.g's shoulder.

"But did you see her face? She obviously is doubting us." Wu w.a.n.g argued.

"He's right. With her IQ, it'd be weird if she didn't catch up to our lies." He Jian also agreed with Wu w.a.n.g.

"Look, I know we are wrong. But I'd rather lie to her than to watch her shatter down before my eyes. I don't care for how long but I'm not telling her anything until I'm sure about Jie's condition." Lin Shen was adamant on his decision. He really didn't have the courage to say anything to her.

'Jie's condition?' Xu Mey's heart shook violently at the endless possibilities that ran through her mind. She placed her hand over her chest to calm down her vigorously beating heart and took deep breaths to ease herself.

"I know the risks myself. But..." Wu w.a.n.g's voice broke down as he was frustrated. Sighing, he changed the topic, "Even if we can't talk about Jie, we should tell her about the baby. Her doctor said that keeping her happy will improve her condition. So, why can't we just tell her that she's pregnant?"

'Pregnant? Me?' Xu Mey's eyes widened in shock. She was pregnant. 'How did that happen? I mean I know how this could happen but this is so unexpected.' She was having an internal monologue. Her previous uneasiness turned into bubbling happiness as she held her hand over her tummy and caressed it gently. 'Is there really a tiny baby inside me? Oh My Gos.h.!.+ My Ah-Jie would be so happy to know that.'

She grinned to herself and in a short span of time, her mind had conjured up a thousand ways how Jie would react to the news.

'Perhaps, he'd be nervous like me?' She wondered and shook her head. 'No way! He loves kids. He would be excited for sure.' As Jie's smiling face came to her mind, her eyes softened up. 'Oh, he'll be such an amazing dad.'

The way he cared for her and how he was always gentle and kind and loving, there was no need to even say that he'd become an awesome dad. She wasn't too sure about her own feelings of becoming a mother but surely thinking about Jie being a father was a lot more interesting and she was actually antic.i.p.ating it.

'Oh, my! I need to plan out how to give this surprise to Ah-Jie. I need to catch him off guard. He always made me feel loved and special. It's my only chance to give him something back.' Looking at her flat tummy, she whispered softly, "You will be the greatest gift for your dad. My love for him."

She was still lost in her own thoughts when her whole world came cras.h.i.+ng down.

"We are waiting for improvement in Jie's condition. Otherwise, she'll feel even more lonely at a time like this. She really needs Jie by her side. This is the most memorable time for them." Lin Shen stated calmly.

"But Jie is not awake. He is still lying unconscious in the room right beside her own."

Hearing Wu w.a.n.g's voice, Xu Mey felt like someone had s.n.a.t.c.hed the ground from beneath her feet and she was falling hard and fast.

'No! They are lying. How can something happen to my Ah-Jie?' She shook her head in denial. 'He is alright. He has to be. For me. For our little Jie. He's okay. Yes, he is okay.' She rea.s.sured herself.

But...

Her body trembled uncontrollably as the memories of the accident came back to her.

As his face covered in blood came back to haunt her, Xu Mey's knees buckled and she fell down to the ground. She couldn't hear a sound as if the world was toned-down. The scene of the accident played repeatedly in her mind, vividly. Each time, it broke her a bit more.

"It wasn't a dream." It wasn't a question, it was a statement she came to term with. But it was a statement that was enough to break whatever was left in her; so-called 'hope'.
