Keeping the promise

Chapter 245 Making up for it

Zheng Zichun drank a few sips of water and felt a little better. She looked at Li Yunxuan and asked in a hoarse voice, "Son, have you been watching over me all this time?"

Li Yunxuan put down the cup, pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "Everyone was watching over you all night last night. I asked them to go back and rest. Don't worry, everyone is fine. We are just worried about you."

Zheng Zichun frowned slightly and asked again: "Then you stay here and watch me, what about Li Yunting?"

Li Yunxuan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile: "He can't die, Qin Huaifeng is guarding him. Besides, he should bear the consequences of his own evil deeds."

Zheng Zichun was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what, he was trapped there because of me."

Li Yunxuan looked at her with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Mom, you are just too kind. My dad treated you like that before, and you still thought about him."

Zheng Zichun sighed softly: "Let's forget about the past. I don't want to care about it anymore."

Li Yunxuan shook his head: "If my dad knew that you forgave him so easily, he would probably become even more aggressive in the future."

Zheng Zichun smiled and said, "Yunxuan, don't say that about your father. Maybe he already knows he is wrong."

Li Yunxuan curled his lips: "He knows he's wrong? That depends on how he behaves in the future. But mom, you scared us all this time."

Zheng Zichun said with some guilt: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Li Yunxuan held her hand and said, "Mom, as long as you are okay, don't scare us like this again. It took me a lot of effort to find you."

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse came in to check on Zheng Zichun's condition. Li Yunxuan stood up and cooperated with the nurse, his eyes full of concern.

After the nurse left, Li Yunxuan sat back in his chair and said to Zheng Zichun, "Mom, you should get some more sleep and take good care of yourself."

Zheng Zichun nodded, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep again. Li Yunxuan sat quietly beside the bed, guarding her.

Li Yunxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he sat in front of the hospital bed, staying by his mother's side without daring to relax for a moment.

He went through untold hardships and finally found her, but fate was so cruel that something happened to his mother again.

At this moment, his heart was gripped by fear, as if an invisible hand was mercilessly kneading his fragile heart.

The ward was filled with a depressing silence, with only the regular ticking of the instruments. Li Yunxuan held his mother's hand tightly, as if it was his only lifeline in this storm.

His head was dizzy, and the physical and mental fatigue finally overcame his will, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Even in his sleep, his brows were still furrowed, as if he was struggling against the unknown fear, protecting his mother and this hard-earned reunion.

In the quiet afternoon, soft sunlight shines through the gaps in the window and gently falls on Zheng Zichun's face.

She woke up slowly from her sleep, her eyelids slowly lifted, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Li Yunting's haggard face sitting quietly in front of her bed.

Zheng Zichun was slightly startled, with a complicated emotion in her heart, and then she said: "You have caught a cold too, go back and rest." Although her voice was full of concern, it seemed a little cold.

Li Yunting shook his head firmly, his eyes full of undisguised concern: "I just came here and let Li Yunxuan go back first. Now I'm relieved to see that you're okay." His voice was a little hoarse, revealing deep fatigue.

Zheng Zichun turned her head away, avoiding his burning gaze, her tone still cold: "I'm fine, you don't have to stay here." There was no expression on her face, as if she was deliberately hiding her inner fluctuations.

Li Yunting pretended not to hear and said to himself: "It's my fault this time. I have implicated you and made you suffer so much." His eyes were full of regret and self-blame.

Zheng Zichun snorted lightly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of her mouth: "It was just an accident, it has nothing to do with you." There was deep helplessness and disappointment in her voice.

Li Yunting's eyes were full of guilt, an unspeakable pain: "I know I have done too many wrong things in the past and hurt you, but I really want to make up for it." His voice trembled slightly, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

Zheng Zichun was silent for a moment, her thoughts seemed to drift to the distant past, and she said slowly: "Make up? There is nothing to make up for. Mr. Li and I don't know each other. You don't have to put your debt to others on me." Her voice was frighteningly calm, as if she had already lost heart.

Li Yunting looked gloomy, as if shrouded by dark clouds. He took a deep breath: "I..." His eyes were full of expectation and pleading.
