âMr. Arelâ¦â D respectfully nodded at the middle-aged man with a cold expression.
Mr. Arel glanced coldly at D, turned around, and walked to the protective window. He looked at the people inside who were surrounded by all kinds of medical equipment.
âItâs been so long, and youâre still not awake?â
Seeing that Mr. Arel didnât seem to want to pursue the matter further, D saw that the truth had already been discovered, so he walked behind him and said calmly,ââIn the four months of treatment, Mr. Zuo only woke up three times, and each time, it didnât last more than five minutes.â
Mr. Arel paused and continued to look at the person who seemed to be sleeping soundly. He said calmly,ââWhatâs going on? My daughter is still suffering in China, but Vllen is still alive and has been hiding it from my daughter. Is this your decision?â
âNo, this is Mister Zuoâs idea.ââ Mr. Zuo was already severely injured in the explosion,â D said respectfully.â If it werenât for the injuries on his body that prevented him from driving the car away, perhaps he wouldnât have been so seriously injured.â
â At that time, Gu Shishiâs accomplices didnât really intend to die together. They left a way out and parked a car with perfect fire and bulletproof functions in a hidden place behind the farm. Mr. Zuo managed to find the car before the explosion, so he barely survived. When our people sent a helicopter to rush over, it was already more than an hour later. The smoke and black fog at the explosion point were too large, and there were all kinds of possibilities of a second explosion. Therefore, it delayed the time to save Mr. Zuo from the fire. No matter how perfect the safety equipment of the car was, it was still in the fire for more than an hourâ¦That was when we successfully rescued him. At that time, the car was almost burned down. Mr. Zuo was really⦠It was almost incurableâ¦At that time, we were all in despairâ¦â
Mr. Arel narrowed his eyes coldly. To be able to come out alive from that explosion accident and not be blown to pieces was indeed a miracle that no one could have imagined.
â After we brought Mr. Zuo back, we tried our best to save him. However, in the first half of the month, Mr. Zuoâs heartbeat and breathing were very weak, sometimes even non-existent. The doctors were on the verge of giving up several times, but Mr. Zuo kept his last breath when he was almost declared invalid. We refused to give up. In these few months, it was fortunate that Mr. Zuo persisted. Itâs just that he hasnât completely escaped from the critical period until nowâ¦â
âMr. Zuo woke up once a month and a half after he was treated. At that time, he only opened his eyes for more than a minute. We were sure that he could recognize us. His brain, thoughts, and memories were not damaged by the irresistible shock of the accident. However, he was too weak at that time. He only looked at us and fell asleep again.â
âWhen Mr. Zuo woke up for the second time, the doctor did a checkup based on his physical condition. At that time, all of Mr. Zuoâs injuries had gradually healed, but his internal organs and the danger of suffocation in the thick smoke caused his body to be unable to withstand it. He could not speak at all, and only a few minutes later, he fell asleep again.â
âThe third time I woke upâ¦It was the third month after he was treated. At that time, he could open his eyes and barely make some sounds, but because of the thick smoke, his voice was very hoarse and it was very difficult for him to speak. However, I was sure that he could communicate with me for a short time, so when I went in, I asked him directly if I should tell Anhao that he was still alive.â
âWhen he heard Anhaoâs name, Mr. Zuo didnât move for a while until I asked him again. His voice was so soft that I couldnât hear him clearly, but he shook his head and said ânoâ.â
Mr. Arel frowned.ââVllen is really ruthless to herself and my daughter.â
â Mr. Zuo knows that his awakening is only temporary. He canât be sure if he can really live on. He should know that after so long, Anhao has gradually recovered from the pain. He canât let her experience the pain a second time, soâ¦â Dâs voice paused for a moment before he said,â Mr. Arel, please donât tell Mrs. Zuo about this. This is Mr. Zuoâs idea. We respect his choice. I believe that even if he has to survive countless times, he still remembers Mrs. Zuo and doesnât want her to suffer anymore.â
âMy daughter is in a lot of pain right now.âMr. Arelâs voice was cold.âSince heâs been holding on for four months, even if heâs not out of danger yet, Vllen is so lucky to be able to survive. I reckon he wonât die in the end. Iâll mobilize the best internal medicine and surgery doctors in the United States.â
D was speechless for a long time before he bowed respectfully to Mr. Arel.
Mr. Arel looked coldly at the unconscious person in the ward and said in a cold voice,ââAfter nearly 24 years, I finally saw my daughter. For my daughterâs sake, I want to take Vllenâs life back. He must live on, live well, and return to my daughter healthy.â
Arel suddenly thought of something and looked at D.ââDid you tell Vllen that my daughter is pregnant?â
D nodded.â Yes, I did. Iâm afraid that if it wasnât for this piece of news that kept him going, Mr. Zuo might not have been able to hold on until now.â
Mr. Arel didnât say anything else. He just looked at the person in the ward for a long time. He thought of Anhao, whom he had seen in Liu Jing Garden when he went to A City in China a few days ago.
His daughter came out for a morning run under the warm winter sun. She ran very slowly, but she was trying her best to do very little exercise for the sake of her and her childâs health. Her face was red from the cold air, and she looked very much like the young An Ping.
His daughter should have a smile on her face, not the calm that seemed like death every day, nor should she pretend to be strong in front of everyone every day.
His cold gaze swept across the ward. Vllen, my daughter needs you. Your life and your health will be the greatest gift I can give to my daughter.
âAt the time of the explosion, did anyone else on the farm survive?âMr. Arel asked coldly.
âNo, other than Mr. Zuo, those people are really dead. If it wasnât for Mr. Zuo finding that car in timeâ¦â D couldnât continue, but no matter what, this was already the best situation.
âI understand.â Mr. Arel said calmly, then glanced at the people in the ward. Before he left, he said coldly,âWhen Vllen wakes up again, tell him that my daughter is waiting for him. My daughter has always believed that he is not dead. Donât let my daughter wait too long.â
