Chapter 843: Mrs. Lu, Did You Knit This Sweater?
"Looking for me?" Song Yinyin was taken aback.
Wen Duoduo was just as surprised, not understanding why President Shi Mai’er, after just passing through a critical period, wanted to meet Song Yinyin as soon as he woke up.
"You should go see what’s going on." Wen Duoduo said.
"Okay."
Song Yinyin nodded, threw on a coat, and put it on.
Just as she turned around, she saw Lu Jihan coming over to knock on the door.
"Yinyin, His Excellency the President wants to see you."
"Okay, I got it. I’ll be right over."
Song Yinyin went to President Shi Mai’er’s room and saw him leaning back against the pillow.
He was looking down at the light green sweater on him, frowning deeply, lost in thought.
"Your Excellency, did you ask for me?" Song Yinyin walked over and said softly.
President Shi Mai’er came to his senses, looked up at Song Yinyin, and his face returned to the usual kind and amiable smile.
"Yinyin, you’re here, please sit."
His voice was terribly hoarse and his face was pale and haggard. He, who was originally vibrant and handsome, seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight.
Who could handle losing their wife and child overnight?
Seeing President Shi Mai’er like this, Song Yinyin also felt heartbroken and sad for him, her heart clenched tightly.
She spoke to comfort him: "Your Excellency, my condolences. Your health is important, all the people of S Country need you, please take care of yourself!"
"I will."
President Shi Mai’er nodded slightly and forced a strained smile.
He took a deep breath and said regretfully, "I’m just frustrated that I didn’t protect my wife and Shana... She’s been frail and sickly since childhood and has asthma, I don’t know if she’ll get through this..."
Seeing this, Song Yinyin couldn’t help but be moved.
She involuntarily gently grasped President Shi Mai’er’s hand and said, "Shana is very smart, I believe she can take care of herself. In Country Z, we have a saying that means heaven helps good people, suggesting that good people will receive heavenly help."
"I hope your words bring luck."
President Shi Mai’er nodded, his eyes falling on the light green sweater on him: "By the way, Yinyin, I wanted to ask, is this sweater yours?"
Song Yinyin nodded: "Yes, you had a fever last night and kept saying you were cold, so I found it in my suitcase."
"Can you take it off for me?"
Song Yinyin was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized.
Last night, when President Shi Mai’er had a high fever, the sweater was perfect for keeping warm; but now that his fever has subsided and his body temperature is back to normal, he naturally doesn’t need the sweater anymore.
He was hooked up to an IV, so couldn’t possibly take the sweater off on his own.
"Oh, let me help you."
Song Yinyin quickly said and stood up to first remove the IV needle from the back of his hand, then carefully took off the sweater.
"Thank you." President Shi Mai’er said gratefully, his gaze still fixed on the sweater in her hand, "Could I have a look at the sweater?"
Huh?
Song Yinyin was puzzled, but obediently handed the sweater to him and called Shen Kang to reinsert the IV into President Shi Mai’er’s hand.
For some reason, Song Yinyin felt that the way President Shi Mai’er looked at the sweater was a bit strange.
As she pondered this, she heard President Shi Mai’er, in a raspy voice, ask: "Yinyin, did you knit this sweater?"
