Eternal Love: A Love Story-Chapter 58 - Just One Chance

When Ming woke up, she saw that she fell asleep and Liwei has also returned. She folded the blanket and went towards his office desk.

When Liwei sensed her movement, he looked up. He asked, " Did you sleep well." he said while signing the document.

" Hmm."

" Why didn't you wake me up. For how much time I was sleeping?" she asked him.

He looked at her and thought for a while then replied, " Ahem, I guess it's been 2 hours." he said nonchalantly.

" what? You should have woken me up. It's past lunchtime now. Did you eat something?" she asked him worriedly. She came to see the office and work. But she fell asleep. How frustrating. This body is so weak and these days fell sleep easily. ' I wonder is it because of remaining in coma for three months,' she thought to herself.

Liwei replied, " No, I was waiting for you to wake up. " he said smiling at her.

Seeing his smile, she got red. This man is too handsome to handle.

" Then let's order something. And eat here itself." 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Liwei nodded and called his secretary to order two lunch boxes for them and flavored yogurt for her. He knows that she likes to eat flavored yogurt.

Ming smiled when he order yogurt.

After a while, the secretary came with lunch boxes and yogurt in her hands. After placing them in the coffee table she went back.

They both went to the couch. Liwei opened the lunch box for Ming and give it to her. This small gesture of him gained a bright smile from her. Her heart warmed at this gesture.

While eating, Ming thought for something and stopped eating. Liwei looked at her serious expression and asked, " what happened?"

Hearing his voice Ming came back from her trance, and replied " it's nothing." she said nonchalantly then went back eating. Liwei also didn't force her to say anything.

Ming was thinking about her headache in the car earlier. She didn't think about it but she heard a voice. And that voice seemed like to be 'his voice'. But why would she heard his voice. And that voice seemed so gentle. He never talked to her like this. More than that she is in a different world and the Zhao Ming in that world should be dead. 'But why I am hearing such voices. '

She was wondering if it was her illusion or she heard its voice.

When she heard Liwei's voice, she looked at him and shrugged her thoughts away and continued eating.

....

Ji dynasty.

The full moon is only 2 days away and she didn't show any signs of waking up. Doctors are coming daily to check on her but her condition is the same as before.

Ji Cheng was getting impatient. He doesn't want to give the position of Empress to anyone else but he cannot do anything as the Empress Dowager had given him an ultimatum. He wanted her to wake up and call his name with her mouth. He wanted to know her that he never hated her. He just wanted one chance to clear all misunderstandings.

He started pondering about the past. When he saw her, for the first time. She had come to the Palace with his father. She was only 10 years at that time and he was 15 years.

When he saw her in the garden, she was like a breath of freshness in the palace. She was innocent, not like people in the palace who are crafty.

She was playing with a butterfly in the garden and smiling brightly. When he saw her smile, he couldn't control but smile at her. She looked happy at that time. But her happiness, her smile has disappeared from the time she came to the palace. It is like a cage for her, which does not let her expand her wings and fly. He is the reason for her sadness, her pain.

Now when he thought about that he feels bad for her. Though it was an arrangement by his grandfather, but he never hated her. In fact, she was the first girl, in which he was interested, who made him smile.

But he never thought that his mother would make her life hell when he was not around.

Not long after marriage, he left for the war and she was left behind. He never thought that her mother would torment her to the extent, that she would forget to smile.

And when he married Xiao Li for marriage alliance, he never thought that it would hurt her more.

He never understands her. He failed to protect her. And he never got a chance to say all this to her. ' He sighed.'
