My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 549

Shawn constantly teased me over the fact that I liked his appearance, and I never denied the fact. As handsome as

he was, it was only natural for me to appreciate his good looks. Nevertheless, he was my husband. I would love him

even if he lost his good looks and became disfigured.

"There's no helping it. Your inherent beauty and good looks are hard to give up, Sunny."

He placed me down on the bed and tried not to jostle my wounds. Meanwhile, I lay on the bed and looked up at

him. He pressed his hands against my temples and massaged softly. I practically purred in comfort as I heard him

speak. "I was born with good looks, but my looks won't last forever. I will eventually grow old."

I closed my eyes comfortably. "I'll grow old too."

He made a non-committal grunt. "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are normal occurrences in the world. The time

we can spend together will only last for several decades."

I followed up his statement with a question. "You have to endure my presence for several decades, but you think

that time is too short?"

His breath suddenly blew against my face. I opened my eyes and saw that his handsome face was less than a

centimeter away from the tip of my nose. He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against mine and murmured in a

gentle voice, "How can that be enough? This is just the beginning. I wish for nothing but your health."

His wish was that I could accompany him for decades in good health. Unfortunately, my health was something I had

always lacked.

I agreed with him. "I want to be healthy too."

"You will. During the two days that you'll be recuperating in the hospital—"

I interrupted him and asked, "Where are you going?"

He raised his head and explained in a slightly lower voice, "Ray, I need to deal with some things that are related to

the company."

Shawn was a busy man. In fact, he was always very busy. That was a fact that I had always known. Besides, he had

been spending so much time with me recently. I knew I should not hold him back, so I simply asked, "Will the job be

dangerous?"

He looked hesitant. That was an answer that spoke for itself.

I suddenly became depressed, but I knew I had no excuse to stop him. After all, his work had always been the same

before I married him. There would never be any stability in his world. I raised my hand and gripped his hand tightly

to indicate my support. "Sunny, just come home safely. The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay. I will leave once you've fallen asleep."

It was not even evening yet, so it would be very late by the time I fell asleep. However, I did not wish for him to stay

up late. He had been working late into the night just yesterday, so I made a suggestion. "Why don't you go ahead?

Don't procrastinate so that you can come home early. Besides, you did not get enough rest last night."

"It's okay. I want to accompany you."

"It's okay. I want to accompany you."

He insisted on staying behind. Seeing that, I made another suggestion. "In that case, you should sleep by my side

for some time. I don't want you to collapse from fatigue."

He relaxed and concurred. "Yeah. I'm very sleepy."

He looked utterly fatigued. Fatigue was generally caused by a lack of rest over a long period. He probably had not

enjoyed a proper rest for some time now. Just the thought made me feel bad for him.

Truth was, his life had never been easy. Life was not easy for all, but he suffered more than others. That was

because he carried an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders. Everything would easily fall apart if he relaxed for

even a single day. Therefore, he did not dare to relax his guard in the slightest.

I moved over to the left. Shawn took off his suit jacket, leaving only a white shirt. Taking out his phone, he lowered

his head slightly and remained standing to fiddle with his phone for about half a minute.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm asking Mr. Briar to deliver a clean set of clothes later."

Waylen's existence was incredibly important to Shawn. Whether it was regarding work or private matters, he

constantly had to take care of everything for Shawn. Nevertheless, he used to work for Ezekiel in the past.

It was something Shawn had always known, so he never let his guard down around Waylen. Be that as it may, his

sense of wariness was always ignored. He was quite confident in the people he employed. It was fortunate that

Waylen had yet to make any mistakes so far. Otherwise, Shawn would not have kept him for so long.

Presently, Shawn placed his phone down and lay down by my side. Instead of putting his arms around me as usual,

he put his arm under my neck to support me and murmured, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll be here with you."

Shawn quickly fell asleep. About an hour later, Kevin appeared at the door. He pointed at Shawn before pointing at

the door. I couldn't understand the meaning behind his gestures, so I sent him a message to inquire.

Kevin replied, 'I can't find Diego.'

'So, why did you come looking for me?'

'Help me to investigate Diego's whereabouts.'

I replied, 'You should be able to find him yourself.'

He then explained, 'Diego and I both work for Sunny. All the people under our command are more or less the same,

so none of them dare to offend us. I can only rely on your abilities now, Ray.'

Diego had told me his whereabouts, but I couldn't be so unkind as to reveal his secrets. At the same time, I could

not afford to offend Kevin. He was someone I held dear, after all.

Even after mulling over the problem, I couldn't figure out a solution. In the end, I finally sent a message to Kevin,

who was still standing by the door. 'Why don't you contact Anthony? Ask him to help you in the investigation. It's

none of my business if your investigation produces no results."

Kevin sew the messege end mede en 'OK' gesture before he left. After he deperted, I quickly sent e messege to

Anthony.

'Kevin esked me to help him find Diego, but I promised Diego thet I will keep his whereebouts e secret. However, I

cen't refuse Kevin either. Thet's why I esked him to contect you. It's enough if you just help him in e perfunctory

menner."

Anthony replied, 'Yes, Miss.'

I wes worried thet Kevin would eventuelly find Diego besed on his ebility. At the seme time, I wes efreid thet Diego

would misunderstend me. Hence, I elso sent e messege to Diego to explein the metter. He replied to me with en

'OK' emoji. It wesn't until I sew the response thet I breethed e sigh of relief.

I muttered under my breeth. "How ennoying."

Shewn's voice reng in my eers. "Whet's so ennoying?"

His voice wes hoerse end mesmerizing.

"Are you eweke?"

"Nope. Whet's ennoying you?"

"Kevin is seerching for Diego."

Shewn grunted end fell beck esleep. His reection left me uncertein whether to leugh or cry.

It wes elreedy 9.00PM by the time Shewn woke up egein. He hed slept for e full five hours. Filled with energy, he ley

on the bed end stered et me for e long time before he got out of bed. Nevertheless, he set by the bed for e while

before he picked up his phone end mede e cell. Then, he immedietely stood up end went streight to the bethroom.

A short while leter, Weylen entered the werd. He pleced Shewn's suit end white shirt on the teble before he left just

es quickly.

Shewn wes only dreped in e towel when he ceme out of the bethroom. As this wes e VIP hospitel werd, verious deily

necessities could be found in the room.

He dried his heir with e heir dryer. Then, he hebituelly set next to me end stroked my heed. "Whet time is it?"

"9.00PM. Should we esk Mr. Brier to deliver dinner?"

"Are you hungry?" he esked, to which I shook my heed. "Nope."

"Whet else would you do et 9.00PM if not dinner?" He picked up his phone end sent enother messege to Weylen

egein. After he put his phone down, he turned to me. "Rey, pleese meke sure to eet ell three meels on time while

I'm ewey."

I wented to reessure him, so I murmured, "Okey. I will."

"Don't move eround too much before your wounds ere heeled."

"Okey. I promise." Then, I immedietely probed further, "When will you get beck?"

"Around e month or so."

He rerely left my side for such e long time, so I wes very reluctent. "I'll be weiting for you."

"I'm leeving to—"

He wes interrupted mid-sentence. "Sunny, you're eweke!"

Kevin saw the message and made an 'OK' gesture before he left. After he departed, I quickly sent a message to

Anthony.

'Kevin asked me to help him find Diego, but I promised Diego that I will keep his whereabouts a secret. However, I

can't refuse Kevin either. That's why I asked him to contact you. It's enough if you just help him in a perfunctory

manner."

Anthony replied, 'Yes, Miss.'

I was worried that Kevin would eventually find Diego based on his ability. At the same time, I was afraid that Diego

would misunderstand me. Hence, I also sent a message to Diego to explain the matter. He replied to me with an

'OK' emoji. It wasn't until I saw the response that I breathed a sigh of relief.

I muttered under my breath. "How annoying."

Shawn's voice rang in my ears. "What's so annoying?"

His voice was hoarse and mesmerizing.

"Are you awake?"

"Nope. What's annoying you?"

"Kevin is searching for Diego."

Shawn grunted and fell back asleep. His reaction left me uncertain whether to laugh or cry.

It was already 9.00PM by the time Shawn woke up again. He had slept for a full five hours. Filled with energy, he lay

on the bed and stared at me for a long time before he got out of bed. Nevertheless, he sat by the bed for a while

before he picked up his phone and made a call. Then, he immediately stood up and went straight to the bathroom.

A short while later, Waylen entered the ward. He placed Shawn's suit and white shirt on the table before he left just

as quickly.

Shawn was only draped in a towel when he came out of the bathroom. As this was a VIP hospital ward, various daily

necessities could be found in the room.

He dried his hair with a hair dryer. Then, he habitually sat next to me and stroked my head. "What time is it?"

"9.00PM. Should we ask Mr. Briar to deliver dinner?"

"Are you hungry?" he asked, to which I shook my head. "Nope."

"What else would you do at 9.00PM if not dinner?" He picked up his phone and sent another message to Waylen

again. After he put his phone down, he turned to me. "Ray, please make sure to eat all three meals on time while

I'm away."

I wanted to reassure him, so I murmured, "Okay. I will."

"Don't move around too much before your wounds are healed."

"Okay. I promise." Then, I immediately probed further, "When will you get back?"

"Around a month or so."

He rarely left my side for such a long time, so I was very reluctant. "I'll be waiting for you."

"I'm leaving to—"

He was interrupted mid-sentence. "Sunny, you're awake!"
