80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 177: Some Bad News

"Hey, Wei Lai, when are you going to propose to Qinghuan?" Jiang Ning bumped Wei Lai’s shoulder, looking at him with a suggestive smile.

Wei Lai’s gaze remained gently fixed on Liu Qinghuan.

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Wei Lai replied softly, "Soon, if nothing unexpected happens."

Jiang Ning teased Wei Lai with a playful grin, "I’m waiting for you guys."

Wei Lai: "Just wait for it."

Jiang Ning hummed twice, a look of blessing upon Wei Lai and Liu Qinghuan observable on his face.

Not far away, Liu Qinghuan looked on with envy at Xu Ru’an and Lu Yuan.

Watching them vow under the priest’s gaze, their eyes were full of each other.

The priest’s voice rang out above, echoing through the chapel with a sacred resonance: "Mr. Lu Yuan, do you take Ms. Xu Ru’an before you to be your wife, in both poverty and wealth, in sickness and in health, never to forsake her?"

Lu Yuan looked sincerely and devoutly at Xu Ru’an before him: "I do."

That "I do" was powerful and resounding.

The priest’s voice continued: "Ms. Xu Ru’an, do you take Mr. Lu Yuan before you to be your husband, in both poverty and wealth, in sickness and in health, never to forsake him?"

Xu Ru’an looked tenderly at Lu Yuan, her lips softly parting: "I do."

As that "I do" fell, applause of blessing filled the chapel.

"The groom may now kiss the bride."

"Oh!" The priest’s words elicited a lively reaction from the audience below.

Amidst the crowd’s cheering, Lu Yuan asked, "May I?"

Xu Ru’an, blushing, nodded slightly: "Yes."

Having gained Xu Ru’an’s permission, Lu Yuan slowly leaned towards her, and Xu Ru’an shut her eyes in nervousness.

In the midst of the hoots, Lu Yuan kissed Xu Ru’an’s lips, but only briefly, fleetingly.

Once again, the applause erupted strongly.

The joyful atmosphere lingered for several days, until another piece of news arrived.

...

A heavy atmosphere pervaded the police station.

Everyone’s faces displayed some degree of sadness.

Jiang Jingming was currently in the hospital.

Sang Yu and Wei Qing hurriedly arrived at the hospital.

"How is it?" Sang Yu asked Jiang Jingming outside the operating room.

Jiang Jingming glanced at Wei Qing and said nothing, merely shaking his head.

Wei Qing’s leg gave way, almost collapsing, but Sang Yu promptly held her up.

"Don’t worry yet, it hasn’t come out yet. It might turn out okay," Sang Yu quickly reassured.

Wei Qing was trembling all over, even forgetting to cry.

Jiang Jingming also said, "There shouldn’t be any life-threatening issues, don’t worry for now."

Wei Qing asked, voice shaking, "Brother Jiang, he, he won’t be in trouble, will he?"

Jiang Jingming pursed his lips and said, "There shouldn’t be any life-threatening issues."

Jiang Jingming couldn’t make other guarantees, as Lin Wen’s injury this time had been too severe.

A month ago, the police station received a task to dismantle a drug den.

Lin Wen and his team were responsible for coordinating with the local police to complete this task.

However, their operation was exposed and discovered by the enemy, and during execution, Lin Wen and his team were ambushed.

Among the handful of people Lin Wen took, only a few survived, but all were hurt to varying degrees.

Lin Wen himself was hit by several bullets.

So even having been rescued, what would become of Lin Wen was uncertain.

Wei Qing could no longer hold back and started crying, her entire self trembling.

Sang Yu embraced Wei Qing, "It’ll be okay, Lin Wen will be fine."

Wei Qing leaned against Sang Yu’s shoulder until the light in the surgery room went off.

Seeing the doctor emerge, Wei Qing immediately rushed over, "Doctor, how is it? How is it?"

The doctor was grabbed by the arm, and he soothed her, "Please calm down."

Sang Yu stepped forward to hold Wei Qing, "Qing, let’s hear what the doctor has to say."

Once Wei Qing calmed down, the doctor addressed Jiang Jingming, "The bullets have been removed from Mr. Lin’s body, but whether he awakens depends on his own will. If there are no signs of awakening within forty-eight hours, then it might..."

The doctor’s expression was heavy, Jiang Jingming roughly understood the unsaid conclusion.

"Might what?" Wei Qing, either unaware or unwilling to believe, pressed the doctor.

The doctor exchanged a look with Jiang Jingming, who nodded.

The doctor then said, "He might never awaken again."

This statement struck Wei Qing’s mind like a thunderclap. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Sang Yu held Wei Qing’s arm tightly, and at that moment, she too felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Moreover," the doctor continued, speaking to Jiang Jingming, "Mr. Lin has a bullet wound on his leg, compounded by a lack of timely first aid, leading to nerve damage in his thigh. Even if he wakes up later, he might have some impairment in leg mobility."

Jiang Jingming’s brows furrowed slightly, "Alright, I understand."

The doctor nodded at Jiang Jingming before turning and leaving.

For quite a while, Wei Qing found her voice again, "No, he will definitely wake up, didn’t he say he had to earn money to marry me? He’ll wake up, right?"

Wei Qing grasped Sang Yu’s hand, seeking an answer in her excitement.

Sang Yu was unsure how to comfort Wei Qing properly.

How could she guarantee Lin Wen would definitely wake?

After a while, Lin Wen was wheeled out of the operating room, but due to the situation, they couldn’t approach him yet.

They could only watch Lin Wen from afar.

Wei Qing, her voice choked with tears, called out Lin Wen’s name, "Lin Wen, you bastard, didn’t you say you wanted to marry me? If you don’t wake up right now, I’ll marry someone else!"

With that, Wei Qing couldn’t control her emotions and cried again.

Sang Yu looked on, feeling a bit distressed herself.

Yet Lin Wen on the hospital bed showed no reaction, his body wrapped in bandages, blood red on the fabric.

His complexion was pallid, devoid of any color, lying quietly on the bed.

Only the steadily beeping heart monitor beside him confirmed his continued life.

Wei Qing cried for an unknown length of time, nearly running out of tears, before gradually stopping.

Once the crying ceased, Wei Qing stood immobile by the glass, gazing at Lin Wen inside.

Sang Yu watched with concern, "Qing, we should rest for a bit."

Wei Qing shook her head, "No need."

Sang Yu opened her mouth, but seeing Wei Qing’s defeated expression, she didn’t know what to say.

"I’ll go get you something to eat, wait here for me," Sang Yu remained worried; Wei Qing had cried so much, worrying her physical health.

Wei Qing said nothing.

Sang Yu looked deeply at Wei Qing before turning away.

As Sang Yu left, a tear slipped from Wei Qing’s eye.
