Chapter 732 - Mutual Promise

"Does it hurt?" she asked in a small, worried voice.

He could only grunt for now because if he opened his mouth, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t curse from the pain.

"Endure it for now, darling. I’ll be as quick as I can. Then I’ll help you get ready for bed, okay?"

Indeed, she did her best to be as quick and as light of hand as she could, but his sudden sharp inhalations now and then indicated how painful his injuries were. When she was done applying the gel, her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

Both of them were silent as she helped clean the uninjured parts of his body with a warm, wet hand towel. Then she tucked him in bed before returning to the bathroom to clean herself as well.

He was lying on his stomach when she returned to bed wearing a rather modest night dress. As for him, he was wearing pyjama pants but with no shirt on to allow his back injuries to breathe and also to prevent the cloth from hurting him if he moved while sleeping. It was the first time in a long while that they wore clothes in bed. They usually slept naked in recent weeks to make it easier for them to have morning sex the next day.

This time, however, they had to abstain from sex as advised by Wang Yingjie, hence why they were wearing clothes tonight. It would help minimize the temptation.

Iris leaned down and kissed Jin Liwei on the lips. "Good night, darling."

"Good night, love."

She continued staring at his face.

"Hm? Why aren’t you lying down yet? Come on, love. Let’s sleep." He reached over and tried to pull her down on the bed but she resisted, taking his hand instead and kissing it. Then he panicked when her lips trembled and tears started streaming down her face. "What’s wrong?!"

"Liwei...this must not happen to you again. You can’t be injured like this anymore."

He tried sitting up but she gently pushed him back down.

"Don’t get up," she said. "Just please listen to me."

"Alright. I’m listening. Don’t cry, love. I can’t take it when you cry."

"I can’t stop myself from crying!" Annoyance was clear in her expression as she wiped her tears but it was all futile because they just kept on flowing down her face.

"Take deep breaths," he said in his calmest voice, trying to lead her out of her agitated state. His almost drained energy couldn’t handle another mood swing tonight. "Now tell me what you want to say. Take your time, love. I’m right here listening."

"You must be extra careful from now on," she said, her voice shaky. "I’m pregnant now, Liwei. You can’t...you can’t die! I was so frightened when I heard that you had an accident. I already told you that I don’t want to be a widow but I don’t want to become a single mother even more! Our babies need their father. I also need you, Liwei. You c-can’t leave me...can’t leave us. I won’t allow you!"

He rose from the bed and pulled her in a tight embrace despite her protests. Her words triggered hard determination to fill his entire being and awakened a different level of protectiveness within him not only towards her and their family but also to himself. Indeed, she was right. He was now going to be a father. Now that she was pregnant, the responsibility on his shoulders just got heavier but in a good way. He would take this kind of responsibility anytime. Thus, he needed to ensure that he was alive and well in order to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father.

"Promise me that you’ll always be careful," she cried. "That you won’t leave me and our children. Promise me, Liwei!"

He held her face between his hands and looked at her with a solemn expression. "I promise."

She looked relieved after he said this.

"Now you know how I feel whenever something dangerous happens to you," he said. "So you also have to promise me to be careful. You’re pregnant now, Xiulan."

She nodded.

"Say it."

"I promise," she said.

"Good." He gave a firm peck on her lips. "Now let’s sleep."

They lay down together on the bed—he, on his stomach, and she, on her side sticking close to him while being careful not to touch his injuries.

Iris was the first one to fall asleep. Jin Liwei waited for a few minutes to make sure that she wouldn’t wake up before calling for Ketchup.

"Meow~ Hi Daddy," Ketchup’s child voice whispered in the room.

Jin Liwei asked her for updates regarding the investigation done on the accident at the construction site.

"Oh, Ketchup already finished investigating! Mommy gave me a head start before she rushed to the hospital to see Daddy. Ketchup planned on reporting to Daddy tomorrow morning but since Daddy is asking, Ketchup will report everything now! Meow~"

The white cat AI revealed that it was a case of negligence in the part of the foreman and the colleague he left the task of checking the bundles of pipes in his place before leaving to go to the toilet.

"After Ketchup anonymously blackmailed—ahem, persuadedthem, the two workers immediately confessed and apologized to the project managers this afternoon but they didn’t report to Daddy yet because they knew that Daddy and Tian Tian were still being treated in the hospital that time. Like the cute and mighty Ketchup, they are also planning to report everything to Daddy tomorrow. Meow~"
