My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child
Chapter 99 Father Wakes Up
The next day, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto Qiao Qin's bedside. Her cell phone suddenly vibrated, breaking the tranquility of the early morning. Qiao Qin reached out her hand in a daze and touched the cell phone from the pillow.
The text message on the screen was like a ray of light shining into her life.
"My daughter, how have you been recently? Your father finally woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes he said he wanted to find you." Every word was like a jumping note, playing the deepest expectations in her heart.
Qiao Qin stared at the text message in a daze, the joy in her heart surging like a tide.
Her father, the one who was as solid as a mountain in her heart, actually woke up! All those prayers day and night, those countless silent expectations, at this moment, all became reality.
Doctors had predicted that my father would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life, like an unconscious vegetable. However, fate always seemed to like to play some unexpected jokes. A miracle happened without any warning.
Qiao Qin's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. She couldn't wait to see her father, to hear his voice, to tell him that she had been waiting for him to wake up.
At this point in her thoughts, Qiao Qin's eyes suddenly flushed with a light blush. Crystal clear tears seemed to be summoned by something, instantly accumulating in her eye sockets, and then silently sliding down.
In the room, there was the sound of low and intermittent sobbing.
At this moment, Huo Yan pushed the door open and walked in. His eyes fell on the small figure curled up on the bed. Qiao Qin's tearful look made him feel an indescribable pain in his heart.
He walked quickly to the bed, leaned over and hugged Qiao Qin tightly in his arms.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.
Qiao Qin didn't say anything, but buried her head in his chest, letting her tears soak his clothes.
Huo Yan gently stroked her back, as if he was comforting a wounded little animal. An inexplicable anger surged in his heart. Who dared to make his little woman so sad?
He swore to find the culprit and make him pay the price.
Qiao Qin leaned gently on the man's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes. She sobbed slightly, as if telling of the turmoil in her heart.
After a long while, she gradually calmed down and said with a trembling voice: "No one bullied me, it was my dad who woke up."
Having said that, she raised her head and looked at Huo Yan beside her, her eyes full of gratitude.
It was because of his silent support behind the scenes, providing the country's top doctors and equipment to maintain her father's vital signs, that she was able to wait for this day to come.
Huo Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He stretched out his big, broad palm and gently patted Qiao Qin's back, as if he was brushing away the dust in her heart.
He comforted her softly, "It's good that you woke up. This way you can feel more at ease. Do you want me to accompany you to visit your father-in-law?"
Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous: "Can, can I?"
In fact, Qiao Qin's mother had been deeply worried about her marriage to Huo Yan throughout the year, especially when Huo Yan disappeared the day after their wedding, leaving Qiao Qin alone, pregnant, without any care or company from her husband.
Whenever Qiao's mother thought of this, she felt heartbroken, always feeling that it was her family that had ruined Qiao Qin's life. If it hadn't been for raising the expensive medical expenses for Qiao's father, Qiao Qin wouldn't have hurriedly made a flash marriage agreement with Huo Yan, let alone fallen into such a predicament now.
Although Qiao Qin tried many times to comfort her mother, saying that her life was still okay, her mother could never let it go. Whenever she mentioned the matter, she burst into tears and felt so guilty that she even couldn't sleep at night and suffered from insomnia.
If Huo Yan could go with her to visit her parents, perhaps her mother would be able to put her mind at ease.
Facing Qiao Qin's cautious and expectant eyes, Huo Yan's lips curled up slightly. He nodded gently, his voice low and magnetic: "Of course, but I can't make this trip in vain."
Qiao Qin immediately nodded obediently to show her understanding.
She knew very well that with Huo Yan's identity and status, every minute was priceless. His time was almost entirely filled with various important affairs and work. How could he have any extra time to accompany her to meet her parents?
However, just as she was secretly pondering how to repay this busy man, a hint of worry quietly crept up her brows.
The man in front of her seemed to have everything he needed, money, status, and power. So, what could she give him?
At this moment, a shadow suddenly fell, and Huo Yan's tall figure blocked the light in front of her eyes. He lowered his head and looked at her deeply, as if he could see through all her thoughts.
Qiao Qin raised her head slightly and met his gaze. At that moment, she seemed to feel a strong current passing through her heart, causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily.
That low and charming voice, like the breeze in the night, quietly sounded in Qiao Qin's ears, with an irresistible magnetism.
"I'll come and get the reward myself."
As they spoke, Qiao Qin suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her lips, followed by intensive and delicate kisses that fell like drizzling rain.
At first, those kisses were somewhat gentle and tentative, as if they were carefully touching her soul; however, as the kisses went deeper, they gradually became overbearing and passionate, as if they were going to drag her whole body into this endless vortex.
Qiao Qin felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks burning. She wanted to step back and escape from this sudden heat.
However, the man's big hand tightly grasped the back of her head, not giving her any chance to escape. She was forced to endure this affectionate and overbearing kiss, as if being pulled by an invisible force and unable to extricate herself.
In this kiss, Qiao Qin felt the man's strong emotions and desires, and also felt the throbbing and confusion deep in her heart.
She didn't know whether she should return the kiss, whether she should indulge in this sudden passion.
However, under the man's affectionate attack, she seemed to have lost the ability to think and could only allow herself to be immersed in this lingering kiss.
When the passion reached its climax, Huo Yan unexpectedly stopped.
He untied the tie around her neck gracefully. Qiao Qin had not yet come out of the intense emotion, and saw a dark tie gently covering her eyes. In an instant, the world fell into darkness, but her hearing became unusually sharp at this moment.
In the darkness, she seemed to catch the subtle sound of Huo Yan taking off his mask, and then, an even more passionate and affectionate kiss swept over her like a storm.
This kiss carried his unique scent, strong yet gentle, making her completely immersed in this strong emotion.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the two of them were immersed in this deep kiss until their breathing became rapid and heavy.
Finally, Huo Yan reluctantly let her go. Qiao Qin's eyes were slightly moist, and the tears wet the tie covering her eyes.
She leaned weakly in Huo Yan's arms, breathing heavily, feeling his strong heartbeat and warm embrace. At this moment, she seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them, all the turmoil and noise were isolated, and only the heartbeat and breathing of each other echoed in her ears.
After a while, Qiao Qin finally mustered up the courage and slowly took off the tie that was restricting her vision.
The sudden light made her squint her eyes, and the world in front of her eyes gradually became clear from blurry.
However, when she saw the scene clearly, she found that the man had put on his mask again and returned to his well-dressed appearance, as if the crazy behavior just now was just her illusion.
"Let's go." Huo Yan's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, interrupting Qiao Qin's thoughts.
Qiao Qin was still a little confused and didn't react immediately: "Where are we going?"
Huo Yan did not look back, but walked out with one hand in his pocket. He opened his thin lips slightly and uttered three simple words, which seemed to carry some irresistible power.
"Meet my father-in-law."
......
At the entrance of the Imperial Capital Central Hospital, a middle-aged woman in her 40s or 50s stood quietly. Her eyes wandered around, as if she was looking for the figure hidden deep in her memory. The vicissitudes of life had left deep marks on her face, but her eyes still sparkled with expectation.
"Auntie Zhang, you've been standing here all morning, why don't you come in and sit down?" A familiar nurse came over and asked curiously. Her voice was gentle and caring, like a spring breeze blowing through Ms. Zhang's heart.
Ms. Zhang turned her head and gave the nurse a forced smile. She shook her head slightly and said, "I'm waiting for my daughter and son-in-law. They will be here soon."
The nurse's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She knew how difficult Ms. Zhang's life had been in the past year. Her husband was in a coma, her daughter was forced to marry and have children, and her son-in-law disappeared without her having ever met him. These blows almost made Ms. Zhang collapse, and her hair turned gray in a short time.
However, now, Ms. Zhang has a long-lost smile on her face, and her eyes are shining with hope, as if she has seen the happiness and beauty of the future.
"That's great, Aunt Zhang," the nurse said sincerely, "You are finally getting your reward after all the hardship you've endured."
Ms. Zhang nodded and said nothing more. She continued to stand at the door and wait, expecting the figure who could bring her happiness to appear.
As he was talking, the elevator door slowly opened.
Ms. Zhang stretched her neck anxiously, and her expectant eyes passed through the gradually opening crack of the door, and finally caught sight of the familiar figure.
"Girl!"
As far as the eye can see, time seems to have left little trace on her. She is still so youthful and rosy-cheeked, like a peach blossom that has just bloomed. There is a faint smile on her face, and the happiness and satisfaction revealed in that smile makes Ms. Zhang's heart surge with warmth.
Seeing that her daughter was safe, Ms. Zhang finally felt relieved, as if a small boat drifting in the wind and rain had finally found a harbor to dock.
"Where's my grandson? Why didn't you bring him here for me to see?"
Ms. Zhang glanced around but did not see Huo Siqian. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Seeing this, Qiao Qin hurriedly explained, with a hint of apology in her voice: "The baby just fell asleep. He is still young, and sleep is very important. Let's go see him another day. He will definitely be very happy."
When Ms. Zhang heard this, her expectations were instantly ignited, and she unconsciously glanced at Huo Yan beside Qiao Qin. She knew very well that the rules in the wealthy families were strict, especially the top families like the Huo family, which paid more attention to etiquette and rules.
However, to her surprise, Huo Yan just nodded slightly, as if he believed in Qiao Qin's words without any doubt, and he didn't have the slightest airs at all.
His actions seemed to tell everyone that he would respect all of Qiao Qin's decisions.
