Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 859 - 878: Lin Mubai’s Vulnerable Side
When only the faint sound of two people’s breathing remained in the ward, Lin Mubai was the first to speak: "Wife, don’t do this again in the future, you really scared me today."
The man’s vulnerable voice was fully expressed, or perhaps Lin Mubai felt that, in front of this woman, he could be completely open, happy when happy, unhappy when unhappy.
When An Nan heard this, she slightly opened her mouth, unsure of what to say, but her heart warmed instantly: "I’m sorry, I won’t do it again."
The low voice from the nearby bed continued: "Wife, do you know? The moment you collapsed just now, I was so scared in my heart, I was really afraid..."
Under the light, Lin Mubai slightly turned his head to the other side, not letting An Nan see the vulnerability in his eyes.
An Nan’s voice filled with heartache and guilt continued: "I’m sorry, I thought I had enough courage to face those people, but I didn’t realize I was still so vulnerable, Brother..."
An Nan paused here, and Lin Mubai didn’t rush her, waiting for her to calm her emotions and continue. Soon, An Nan regained her thoughts and continued slowly: "Back then in the An Family, besides Dad, Brother treated me and Mom the best. During the most beautiful years of my life, this person was always by my side. He would even reason with his Mom because of me and Mom. But then such a wholehearted person suddenly died in a car accident one day, leaving behind little Jiayou. At that moment, I was about to collapse. I asked Heaven, why did it take away all the good people towards me? Is it that I never deserved happiness?"
As she complained, An Nan’s eyes reddened; Lin Mubai felt heartache but, due to his physical condition, had no way to help, only attempting to comfort with words: "Wife, don’t think about it, okay? You are the best person in the world, Jiayou and I will never leave you, we’ll be by your side forever."
An Nan continued to slowly shake her head, with a weak smile on her lips: "Don’t worry about me, back then I was young, with many things I couldn’t understand. But over the years, traveling, seeing more, broadened my horizons. I’ve come to understand many things and can face them bravely. But this time, Brother’s sudden appearance, for some reason, brought a strong sense of unease in my heart, which shouldn’t be the case."
As her words ended, An Nan’s voice grew increasingly somber.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mubai fell into a moment of reflection; he had the same feeling within, but this wasn’t the time to express it.
Lin Mubai timely interrupted: "Alright, don’t think about it too much. Sometimes, things are overthought when there’s actually nothing going on."
"Am I really overthinking it?"
"Yes, you are overthinking it." Lin Mubai’s voice was firm and persuasive, causing An Nan’s doubts to waver, and at this moment, Lin Mubai shifted the topic.
"Nannan, you brought up Jiayou all by yourself." Though he already knew the truth, he still wanted to hear her say it.
