Chapter 15 Apologizing for Waiting Too Long

Although Chris woke up, we never saw him. I heard that he suffered a serious gunshot wound and needed a long time to recover. Since he is all right, I plan to leave here as soon as possible. However, Zheng Zehui repeatedly stopped me: "If you are, you should at least meet him once? Don't you want to know why I speak for him?" "I don't want to." I continued to pack my things without looking up: "It's no longer my business." Seeing that he could not convince me, Zheng Zehui sighed and said, "What about Little John? He has been eagerly looking forward to seeing his father once?" I stopped my hand and glanced at the child who was smiling at me with big eyes open. I couldn't help feeling sad. Little John and Chris have a constant affection. I can't be so selfish. "Well, I'll take Little John and wait to see him again." I said. Zheng Zehui saw that he persuaded me, pulled up the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile. My doubts are even greater. What made my best friend start to speak for Chris? Now that I have returned to China, I plan to visit my former friends and classmates one by one. At the beginning, I left in a hurry and hardly greeted anyone. Later, because I learned about Chris and Nora's marriage, I gave up all my numbers and lost contact with everyone. However, a strange thing happened. Zheng Zehui firmly opposed my going out. He kept watch over me and almost became a piece of dog skin plaster. "What are you doing? Why has the whole person become so strange?" I asked him puzzled. He avoided talking about this topic and pushed everything to Chris. "Chris will tell you when you see him anyway." Zheng Zehui said. Well, I'm going to see what's going on! I thought I would wait for a long time, but I didn't expect Chris to call soon and ask to see us as soon as possible. Zheng Zehui took Little John and me in a car sent by Chris and hurried there. Along the way, I was thinking, Chris admitted that he was wrong, what should I do to him, be silent or swear? But the reality gave me a big mouth, and I thought too much, because Chris didn't mean to apologize at all! When I pushed the door and entered, Chris leaned half pale on the hospital bed, and his eyebrows were tightly locked together. "Why don't you go back to America?" This is the first thing he said when he saw me. I stood at the door with Little John in my arms. An anger rose from the bottom of my heart. I turned and was ready to leave. Zheng Zehui stopped me: "If you are, don't be angry, your body matters." I gave him a hard push: "Get out of the way! Are you still going to let me bring disgrace to myself?" Unexpectedly, when my voice just fell, Chris's equally angry and gloomy voice came from behind: "Zheng Zehui! Why did you bring them back home?! Are you crazy?" Chris and I stared at Zheng Zehui together. Zheng Zehui finally got angry. He shouted at Chris, "I've had enough! If it weren't for Ruoru's feelings for you, I would have proposed to her!" "Zheng Zehui! What are you talking nonsense about? I have long given up on him, what feelings do I have!" I almost jumped up: "Don't you know what he did to me at the beginning, and now I want you to be a peacemaker in the middle?" Zheng Zehui livid face, stretched out his hand and grabbed my arm: "If if, is what you said true? Well, now let's go! Never see this person again!" "Good!" I answered him firmly, and then tightened Little John in my arms. The child seemed to be frightened by the quarrel between the adults and looked frightened. I kissed his little face heartily: "It's all my mother's fault. Let's go home." Suddenly there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, mixed with the broken sound of glass bottles. I turned and looked in surprise. I saw Chris fall out of bed, the infusion bottle was broken all over the floor, and blood seeped out of his hands and body. Zheng Zehui ran quickly and pressed the bedside pager. Soon, doctors and nurses shout in a lot. When everything is ready, Chris makes them all leave in a weak voice. "Tell Ruoruo about the situation. Now the woman has disappeared." Zheng Zehui's voice was hoarse: "It's not the way to hide from her all the time, and if you don't know your physical condition!" Chris looked up, and his look was extremely tired: "I took the risk not to let Chris know because the doctor said that her condition could be controlled. I want to solve the woman and the big trouble behind her first. Who knows......" I was confused by what they said, and the whole person seemed to fall into a fog. Chris looked at me, and his always cold eyes became warm. His voice choked: "Chris, I'm sorry." I waited too long for this apology. When I heard it for a long time, I didn't feel anything. I went over and put Little John in his arms. "Mr. Gu, this is your son." He looked at me blankly, then slowly turned his eyes to Little John. Little John has forgotten the unhappiness just now. He giggled and took Chris's hand. Chris's eyes were red, and his lips shook, as if he couldn't say a word. Then he turned his head away, as if trying to restrain his emotions. "Ruoruo, let's go outside and I'll tell you everything." Zheng Zehui pulled at my sleeve. I nodded and followed him out.
