Cedric was in poor health. It was very dangerous for him to leave the hospital. What if he got exhausted when crossing the road and had a car accident?
"What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to watch him carefully?" Nacho comforted Mignon with a straight face and then looked at Aneirin with sharp eyes.
Aneirin lowered his head and said guiltily, "It's my fault. Cedric's situation has got much better these days, and he said that he doesn't like being watched, so I asked all the bodyguards to leave. I didn't expect that he would receive treatment while playing this kind of trick. I am angry with him."
Aneirin grabbed his hair with regret and said.
Why was everyone in the Xis disobedient when they got sick? Cedric was as stubborn as Edward.
"Find him immediately. He's not in good health and can't go far." Nacho's face darkened. He pinched his palm and took a deep breath.
Hearing Nacho's words, Aneirin nodded and said, "I sent people to look for him when I found that he was missing. I believe that we can find him soon."
"Auntie, is dad missing?" Looking at Mignon, Kerr asked in a crisp voice.
"We will find him. Don't be afraid. Uncle Nacho and I are here with you."
Mignon touched Kerr's hair gently and comforted him in a soft voice. Kerr leaned his head against Mignon and rubbed his face against her chest lightly, "Dad went to find mom. I know."
His words made Mignon have a complicated and doleful feeing.
Joanna was missing, and Cedric disappeared from the ward, which made Mignon so disturbed.
"Ahem..." Cedric ran out of the hospital alone and walked on the street aimlessly.
His head was dizzy. Because he had been suffering severely from his illness, his originally handsome face became extremely haggard, and his body became very thin, looking very weak and feeble.
"Ugh." After taking a few steps, Cedric spat out a mouthful of blood. He pressed his chest in pain and kept coughing.
The cold wind passed by Cedric, and he was chilled to the bone.
Just as he was coughing violently, a pair of hands patted his back.
"Why did you run out of the hospital?"
The faint voice sounded so familiar. Cedric had dreamed of this voice many times.
Cedric's entire body froze. He opened his eyes wide as if he could not believe what he had heard.
He slowly turned around. When he saw the face in front of him, his breathing became extremely weak.
"Joanna?" The person standing in front of Cedric was actually Joanna! Joanna was dressed in a red cotton-padded jacket. She stood in front of Cedric and looked at him with worry in her eyes.
She got even more anxious when she saw Cedric's pale lips and the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go to the hospital."
"You... didn't... die? Right? Am I dreaming?" Cedric's fingers were trembling uncontrollably. He was so excited that he couldn't believe his eyes.
"I didn't go abroad. I went to the airport, but... I couldn't bear to... leave you." Joanna sighed and hugged Cedric.
"I've known everything. Why are you so stupid? Why don't you tell me that you're sick? I came to see you every day. I was wondering whether I should show up or not. When I knew that you ran out of the hospital, I came to find you."
"Joanna... I'm so sorry..." Cedric was very happy. He wanted to thank god that Joanna didn't get on the plane. If Joanna did, maybe she would have died.
"Cedric, don't be so stupid from now on. I'll go back with you. Nacho and Mignon must be very worried about you, and Kerr must be very sad. We can't let them worry about us, understand?" Joanna gently wiped the blood on the corner of Cedric's mouth and said with sorrow in her eyes.
"Okay, let's go home." Cedric held Joanna's hand and whispered.
He was not afraid of death. Even if he was about to die, it was nothing to him. As long as he could be with Joanna, death was not scary at all. He only wanted to be with Joanna. As long as he could be with her, he could face every hardship.
Cedric and Joanna returned to the Xis together. Both Mignon and Nacho were relieved, and Kerr was even happier. When he saw Joanna, he rushed to her.
"Mom, I knew that you would be fine."
"I'm sorry, Kerr, I've been hiding for so many days. You must be very scared, right?" Joanna didn't want to hide herself, but she didn't know what to do. She just wanted to tide over Cedric's illness together with him. She wanted to tell Cedric that they were husband and wife. They
should weather the storm together.
"I'm not scared, because I believe that you're safe, and dad will be all right." With determination on his cute face, Kerr said to Joanna.
Looking at Kerr's tender face, Joanna's eyes blurred with tears.
She said in a hoarse voice while rubbing Kerr's face lightly, "My good boy."
"Let's celebrate it today." Mignon leaned against Nacho's arms, looked at Joanna and said.
