After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 247 Coma

Jiang Yichen gently grasped my hand, his palm warm and strong, his voice soft and gentle: "I've always been here. You were unconscious for two days, how could I leave?"

Upon hearing those words, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, and they streamed down my cheeks. All the grievances, fears, and anxieties welled up in my heart at that moment. I gripped his hand tightly, as if afraid he would disappear.

My voice trembled, thick with sobs, "I thought... I'd never see you again."

"I'm sorry I'm late. If I had found you sooner, you wouldn't be hurt..."

I shook my head, tears blurring my vision: "It's not your fault... I just... I just miss you so much."

He reached out and gently wiped away my tears, his voice low and hoarse, tinged with heartache: "Don't cry, I'm here. I won't let you face these things alone anymore."

"You really... won't leave me?" I asked softly, my voice tinged with uncertainty.

He leaned down, his forehead gently touching mine, his voice firm yet tender: "No. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. Thankfully, our baby is alright too."

Hearing this, I touched my stomach and finally felt completely relieved.

I murmured, "Haha, only the strong can be his children."

Jiang Yichen gently hugged me, avoiding the injury on my back. His movements were careful, yet they made me feel incredibly safe.

After a while, I suddenly remembered that Jiang Yichen was abroad. Why did he suddenly come back? Did something happen? I asked, "Why did you come? I remember... the police hadn't arrived yet."

He gently ruffled my hair. "Even though I'm abroad, I kept thinking about it and it didn't feel right, so I made a phone call. Luckily, there was a flight available the next day, even though there's a big time difference."

My heart warmed, and I quickly changed the subject: "How are the others? Is everyone alright?"

Jiang Yichen nodded, his tone calming down: "Many people suffered minor injuries, but nothing serious. All the passengers have been taken to the hospital for checkups, and the police are taking statements. Everyone was very worried about you, especially the uncle and aunt. They waited outside the emergency room until they were sure you were alright before they went to treat their own injuries."

Hearing that everyone was alright, a huge weight was finally lifted from my heart.

The door was pushed open. "Are you alright? I just bought some things near the hospital."

It turned out to be an older man and woman carrying fruit. Jiang Yichen took it from me and said, "Everyone's alright."

The middle-aged man and woman looked at me and kept apologizing: "We didn't know we were pregnant at the time. Luckily, the baby is fine now, otherwise..."

I quickly interrupted, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't think too much about it. Besides, I'm fine now, aren't I? The child is okay too, haha, it's good that everyone is alright."

He shook his head. "They're all mothers, don't they know how to be more mature?"

I paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Thank goodness you're here."

Jiang Yichen nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with a hint of doting: "That's more like it."

At this time, the police also arrived at the hospital and inquired about what had happened. Everyone answered truthfully without any concealment.

I leaned against the headboard; although my back still ached a bit, I felt much better. Hearing the police say that the tour guide and the travel agency staff had been arrested, I couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of relief.

"Great! These people have finally been caught!" I couldn't help but say, my voice tinged with excitement. "They've harmed so many people; they deserved to be punished long ago."

The uncle nodded, a smile on his face: "Yes, thanks to your bravery back then, otherwise we might still be trapped there now."

The older woman chimed in, "That's right, you're our hero! If you hadn't stood in front of me, I might be lying here right now."

I smiled, feeling a surge of satisfaction. Although I was injured, being able to help everyone made it all worthwhile.

However, at that moment, he suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and warning: "Don't get too cocky. Grandma knows about this too, and she's on her way, waiting to give you a scolding."

My face instantly fell, and a wave of fear washed over me: "Grandma...knows?"

He nodded. "Yes, I just got a call from her. She said you're too bold to confront those people head-on by yourself. When she gets here, she'll definitely teach you a lesson."

I suddenly felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but cover my face: "Oh no... Grandma is definitely going to nag me."

Seeing this, the uncle and aunt couldn't help but laugh. The aunt patted my hand and comforted me, "It's alright, the old folks were just worried about you. You really took too much of a risk this time, you have to be more careful in the future."

I nodded, but I was still a little uneasy. My grandmother always doted on me, but she also couldn't stand me taking risks. This time, I was not only injured, but also pregnant; she was sure she would be furious.

I was leaning against the headboard, still figuring out how to talk to my grandma.

Another person came in, and when I looked up, it was him.

"Oh, Young Master Gu is here?" I joked with him, trying to ease the tension.

He didn't respond to me. He went straight to the bedside, put the fruit basket he was carrying on the bedside table, and with a bit of a jerk, the fruit in the basket rolled a couple of times and almost fell out.

"What's wrong? You look terrible. Who upset you?" I asked tentatively.

He stood there, without saying a word.

After a long while, he finally spoke, his tone slightly reproachful: "Next time you do something dangerous, call me along."

I was taken aback; I hadn't expected him to say that.

He turned his head abruptly, staring straight at me, and said again, "Call me to come with you."

She blinked and teased him deliberately, "Oh, our Gu Bai has grown up, huh? He knows how to care for his older sister now?"

He glared at me, a hint of unease flashing across his face, then turned his head away, his voice muffled: "Don't give me that. I just think that if something happens to you, I'll have to clean up your mess, which is a hassle."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but my heart felt warm. This kid, he's clearly worried about me, but he just keeps pretending.

"Okay, okay, I got it." I nodded with a smile. "Next time something like this happens, I'll definitely ask you to come along, alright?"

He relaxed a little, walked to the bedside, picked up an apple, and handed it to me: "Eat this, get some vitamins."

I took the apple, took a bite, and it was sweet.

I looked up at him and found that his face was finally not so dark anymore, and his eyes had softened a lot.

I called to him softly, "Thank you!"

He paused for a moment, then turned his head away, saying in a low voice, "No need to thank me, just try to avoid trouble." He even glared at me.

I smiled and didn't say anything more.

This kid, although he usually seems unreliable, is actually quite dependable when it matters.
