Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Hospital 

3:00 am 

Qiang jolted up when she felt a slight brush on her forehead. Looking at ay Guang who was also looking at her with the same usual silly smile on his face, she quickly got up. "You are awake, I'll go call the doctor." Without waiting for his reply, she rushed out of the room.

After a few minutes, she rushed into the room along with the doctor and the nurse incharge. 

Nervously chewing on her cuticles, Qiang stood in a corner while the doctor examined him. She was very happy that he had woken up but she was also super nervous. How was she supposed to disclose the pregnancy news to him while he was bedridden? Wouldn't that freak him out even more?

"Everything seems normal, you just need to take proper rest and eat healthy food—" 

Cutting the doctor off, Guang inquired, "Can I go home?" 

Before the doctor could say anything, Qiang frowned and quickly approached him. "You just had an accident like ten hours ago and you wanna go home already? You are supposed to stay here until the doctor says so and don't argue with me over that." 

Patting Guang's shoulder, the doctor sighed, "You should take some rest, I will come back in the morning." 

Glaring at him, Qiang snapped, "I would have smacked your head if you weren't hurt already. Do you have any idea how worried everyone was? I had no idea whether I would see you again or not and that killed me Guang." 

Kissing the back of her hand, he sighed, "Sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to." Pausing for a while, he added, "I know I have been very clingy lately and I always stay with you. I acted very selfish and thought only about myself which was really very wrong. But now I know that in a relationship personal space is also very important so we can do something. I will have to stay in the hospital for at least a week or maybe more so while I am here, you can have your space. This way, when I come back everything will be back to normal and—" He stopped midway when she suddenly started crying. 

"Y-you want me to go home and have fun while you are suffering in the hospital?" Throwing her hand in her mouth, she cried harder. "You think I am that selfish and mean." 

"No babe, I didn't mean it that way. I—" 

"Yes you did, you think I am selfish and I don't love you anymore." Smacking his arm, she snapped, "You are the mean and selfish one. You were the one who didn't take care of yourself and got into that accident which almost killed you. Before getting into that car, did you even think of how risky it is? Did you think of me? Did you think of your parents and how they would feel if anything happened to you?" 

"But Yushen—" 

Cutting him off, she snapped, "There is always a safe way to deal with things, don't try to throw excuses for your reckless behaviour. And now after everything that has happened, you are saying that I should act selfish and have my space? Why the hell would I want any space?" 

"Honey, you told me you want some space so I thought maybe—" 

"Stop thinking because you aren't good at it." Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she added, "I need you Guang, I want to hug you but I can't which is making me feel more miserable. I am already so stressed out over everything that has happened and now you are making me feel more awful with all the stupid space things." 

Without waiting for his reply, she got up. "I was already very upset and you made me more upset. Now I don't wanna disturb you so I will sit on the couch and cry for sometime before sleeping for a couple of hours. You are also going to take some rest and stop making things more difficult for me." 

Grabbing her hand, he scrunched his brows, "Don't cry, please babe. You know I don't like it when you do." Pulling her closer, he wrapped one of his arms around her waist. "I am sorry, I just thought—no, I promise I will stop thinking. I didn't mean to hurt you and I don't need any space either, I just need you. I want to hug you but I feel so—" Without completing his sentence, Guang passed out which freaked Qiang out. 

Without wasting any time, she rushed out to call the doctor over. 

….

"Don't worry Ms Li, he is still under the influence of the high dosage of medication but he will be all fresh and better in the morning," The doctor explained. 

"Are you sure everything is okay? He was just talking and then suddenly—" 

Cutting her off, the doctor sighed, "There is nothing to worry about, everything is normal. I think you should go home and take some rest, you seem very stressed about it or maybe take some rest in here. Let me ask someone to add an extra bed here so you can take some rest too." 

"That is fine, I can adjust on the couch," Qiang answered. 

"Mr. Lui has to stay here for at least a month depending on how he recuperates. I don't think you'll be able to adjust on the couch for that long." Without waiting for her reply, the doctor added, "I am sure Dr Mian would do the same so please, let the hospital make arrangements for you." 

Left with no other choice, she nodded her head. 

….

Kitchen. 

"Sister Clara? What are you doing here?" Mian inquired. 

"I was feeling hungry and I really didn't wanna wake Ben up, he came late and was really very tired so I am making some sandwiches. Do you want some?" 

"You should have called me or anybody else then." Pulling the stool towards her, Mian added, "Sit here and let me make sandwiches for us."
