Vivian wiped his tears gently, like an angel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You’d better get well soon; our baby is waiting for you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian was all he could think of. Oh, her smile, her laughter, her tears, her desperation, her coldness, etc. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Vivian!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was sweating from the piercing pain in his arm. He looked at his hospital gown. There was no one around. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are awake.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick walked into the room with medicine and said softly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You’ve slept for two days. I would be worried if you didn’t wake up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He pulled up Christian’s sleeve, and blood was oozing from his wound. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How is Vivian?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian asked worriedly, ignoring what Patrick was doing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t move. I’m changing fresh dressing for your wound.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Frowning, Patrick was afraid he might hurt Christian. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m asking you, how is Vivian?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Tell me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian had just woken up and hadn’t fully restored his strength. He couldn’t help coughing when he got excited. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick hurriedly poured Christian a cup of warm water, and he looked tired. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m going to see Vivian.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian struggled to get out of the bed, and fell to the ground. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick was angry when he found Christian on the ground. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian, how old are you? Don’t be a child, will you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He helped Christian back to his bed. He was very angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian, I’m very tired already. Don’t add fuel to the fire, ok?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick shouted in a hoarse voice. He was shockingly exhausted. Christian looked up and found him thinner and messier than a few days ago and there were dark circles under his swollen eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Please tell me where she is, will you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick’s unusual behaviors were upsetting for Christian. He was scared to hear the bad news. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll take you to see her after dressing your wound.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian was relieved to hear that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thank God! She was still alive. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian had been seriously injured, though it wasn’t life-threatening. He had ignored his own pain because he had been too worried and nervous about Vivian, now he couldn’t help crying out in pain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This time Patrick was less careful with his wound on purpose, like punishing a naughty boy who had done something wrong. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick was very tired, which made Christian feel guilty. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian had been a trouble maker since childhood and Patrick had always been the one who would clear up the mess quietly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Let’s go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick held his arm and they walked out of the room slowly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She is over there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian saw Vivian lying in the bed through the glass in the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was covered in tubes. He couldn’t see her face, but he knew she must be in pain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hasn’t she woken up? Wasn’t the operation a success? When could we take her home?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leaning on the door, Christian stared at her with loving eyes. Fortunately, she was still alive. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick couldn’t bear to look at Christian’s careful eyes. No matter how tired he had been, he hadn’t shed a tear in the past few days. But now he turned his head and cried. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We’d better leave.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick tried to drag Christian back to his room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What are you doing? Why didn’t you allow me to go in and see her?” Christian didn’t want to leave her alone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I won’t wake her up. I know she doesn’t want to see me now. Patrick, please! I’ll just have a quick look, will you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian begged him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, she won’t wake up, ever again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What do you mean?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why won’t she wake up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian asked loudly, ignoring people around him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Calm down!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick was upset. He was under too much pressure which had almost crushed him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian licked the corners of his mouth and lowered his head apologetically. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sit still.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When they went back Christian’s room, Patrick pressed him into the bed and called the nurse to give him an injection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The operation failed, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian suddenly said. Patrick froze for a second. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, it was successful. She won’t have to suffer from heart disease anymore.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then why didn’t she wake up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian shouted out of control. Patrick hurriedly went over to hold him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t get excited!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Listen to me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Christian calmed down, Patrick told him the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian, I wish Vivian could wake up more than you do.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick closed his eyes. The memory was too painful to recall. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It was a success. Do you know how happy I was when I saw the door of the operating room open?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But the doctor said she wouldn’t be able to wake up, unless a miracle happened.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian, maybe she had suffered too much to be willing to wake up to a world that had been so cruel to her, so she decided to leave us behind.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian, you must hold on.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
