Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Don’t Cry (2)

Gan Yuan tightly grasped his hand, “It’s alright, I know you’re very tired right now. Just lie down and relax.”

Moses closed his eyes for a long while before reopening them, and this time, there was a gleam slowly emerging in his gaze.

He was extraordinarily weak now, unable to do anything other than open his eyes and slightly curl his fingers, not even having the strength to speak.

Yet, he clearly saw her. She sat beside his bed, showing him a radiant smile, though her eyes were glistening with tears.

“…”

Moses parted his lips but could not utter a sound. He struggled to take a breath, only feeling a searing pain in his chest as if knives were slicing through him, with all his organs being pulled unbearably, the inhaled air scorching his chest like fire.

Summoning all his strength, he barely managed to say three broken words.

“Don’t… cry…”

His voice was extremely hoarse, making those three words ever more indistinguishable, yet Gan Yuan guessed their meaning from knowing him well and the shape of his lips.

Upon hearing those words, she could no longer hold back her tears, which poured down uncontrollably.

Just like before, the last time he woke from injury-induced unconsciousness, he said those same three words to her.

She turned her face, quickly wiped away the traces of tears, and showed him a smile once more.

“Who said so? I’m not crying!”

Moses lacked the strength to speak further, and his gaze shifted to look at his surroundings.

Noticing the figures standing outside the window, Moses squinted slightly, finally making out the people outside.

Jessica, the butler, Dr. William… and a tall figure holding a small child.

“Uncle Moses!”

Upon seeing him, Xiaotang immediately raised her little hand and waved energetically.

Seeing Xiaotang’s face, Moses finally relaxed completely—seeing the child unharmed was all that mattered—he managed to curve his lips into a laborious smile for the little one.

Gan Yuan turned to look at the scene outside the window, then quickly refocused on him.

“Don’t worry, everyone’s fine except Paul.”

Thinking of Paul, Moses’ gaze darkened slightly.

“I know what you’re thinking.” Gan Yuan reached over, gently holding his fingers, “Don’t worry. I’ll bring Paul back home.”

Moses nodded lightly.

At this moment, Dr. Charlie and Dr. William had already entered, with Dr. William gently patting Gan Yuan’s shoulder.

“GAIA, let him rest for a while. Dr. Charlie needs to check on him.”

“Alright.” Gan Yuan nodded, stood up from the chair, and bent over, whispering at his ear, “I’ll be right outside. Rest well.”

He couldn’t respond, only curling his fingers tighter around hers as a form of reply.

“Get well soon, Xiaotang is waiting to play polo with you!”

With a smile towards him, Gan Yuan placed his hand back beneath the blanket, turned, and walked out of the hospital room as Dr. William approached to close the blinds.

Noticing the traces of tears on Gan Yuan’s face, Huangfu Jue crouched down to put the little one on the ground, then embraced her shoulders, pulling out a handkerchief to gently wipe her eyes.

“Is everything going smoothly?”

Gan Yuan nodded, “Weren’t you listening?”

Huangfu Jue turned his face to look at his son beside him, “Just now, I fell asleep after your son told me a story.”

The little one chuckled proudly, and Gan Yuan reached over, pulling him into her arms to lovingly stroke his small head.

“My son, the best!”
