The nurse smiled and said, âDonât worry. Madamâs check-up results have all been good these past few days. Her bodily functions are recovering rapidly, and her brain activity is getting more and more active, so I believe sheâll wake up soon. The attending doctor had specifically emphasized that we should intensify patrols and check up on Madam more often during our meeting this morning. â
Lin Yu was shocked. âReally?â
The nurse thought Lin Yu was overjoyed by the news and quickly nodded. âYeah! The doctor will inform you of the details when he comes for ward rounds later.â The nurse changed the dressing and left, closing the door behind her.
Lin Yu approached Han Yuanâs bed step by step. Her legs gave way, and before she knew it, she was kneeling on the ground. âMother, that day⦠I really didnât mean to do it! I didnât mean to push you down the stairs. Can you please forgive me?â
She held Han Yuanâs hand against her face, and her tears fell onto Han Yuanâs palm. âMother, you of all people know how difficult it is for me. I have already lowered myself to the dust in order to marry Xi Cheng. I have nowhere else to go or return to; I have nothing but the Xi family. Ever since I was young, everything I did was to become the Xi familyâs young mistress. I donât know how to live if I leave the Xi family. Please, Mother, donât chase me away!â
Lin Yu covered her mouth and sobbed; that was the scene Xi Cheng saw when he pushed open the door. He hurriedly ran over to help Lin Yu up. âLin Yu? Whatâs wrong?â He turned around to check on his mother, who was sleeping peacefully as usual, and inquired, âWhatâs all this about?â
Lin Yu quickly wiped her tears and forced a smile. âJustâjust now, the nurse said that Mom mightâmightâ¦â
Xi Cheng anxiously urged, âMight what?â
âShe might wake up at any moment now. IâI was so happy that I cried,â Lin Yu hastily replied.
Xi Chengâs tense nerves finally relaxed. âOh, thank goodness. You gave me a fright.â He hugged Lin Yu and comforted her, saying, âYouâve worked hard.â
Lin Yuâs nose picked up a delicate fragrance, and she couldnât help but shiver. She abruptly pushed Xi Cheng away, asking, âWhere were you last night? Who were you with?â
Xi Cheng was taken aback. Lin Yuâs tone was a little harsh; he wasnât used to it and instinctively avoided her gaze. âI had a business social last night. We all drank a lot at the nightclub, and I didnât want to disturb you and Mom at such a late hour, so I booked a room and spent the night there.â
Lin Yu looked at Xi Cheng and felt a chill in her heart. She had only smelled that fragrance on one person beforeâGu Man.
Xi Cheng told her, âI got someone to send lunch over. Theyâre all your favorites. You should eat more. Mom will definitely worry if she wakes up and sees youâve lost so much weight.â
Xi Chengâs normal behavior had Lin Yu in anxious doubt. On one hand, she dismissed her own suspicions, but on the other, she felt that her feeling was right. She gave the excuse of going out to find the doctor and immediately called Shi Gao after she left. âHelp me check Xi Chengâs whereabouts yesterday.
Also, do you know where Gu Man is?â
Shi Gao chuckled, âWhatâs gotten into you? Why so serious? You and Xi Cheng just got married; why are you investigating your husband? Gu Man left the country, so donât worry. Itâs best not to keep men on a tight leash, Lin Yu. You were never like this before; why have you become so petty now that youâre officially married? Xi Cheng might rebel if you keep this up. Calm down, Lin Yu. Take it easy.â
Lin Yu slowly put down the hand holding her phone after Shi Gao hung up. âAm
I being too sensitive?Maybe! The most pressing thing now isnât Gu Man, but Han Yuan! I canât let her wake up! Iâd rather stay by her bedside, looking after her unconscious form forever⦠or make it so that she can never wake up again!â
âI didnât expect her to be so shrewd,â Gu Man sneered.
âThatâs why you fell into her trap,â Shi Gao replied lightly.
Feeling quite satisfied that theyâve managed to trick Lin Yu, Gu Man asked, âSo, whatâs next?â
Shi Gao gave her an enigmatic smile. âItâs my man next! Shi Keâs injured. Once he returns and Iâm in a good mood, Iâll give Shi Nian to you, too.â
Gu Manâs eyes lit up. âReally?â
A serious car accident occurred in the southern suburbs of the city. A heavy-duty truck had collided with a private car, and the car got smashed beyond recognition.
Yun Nan rushed to the hospital and unexpectedly saw Xiang Yang. â Whys she back all ofa sudden? Yun Nan thought. However, she didnât have time to ask. Yun Nan went straight to the operating room, and Xiang Yang followed behind her without a word.
The news had already spread that the private car that got hit belonged to Shi Nian, and Shi Nian was the only one in the car at that time. When she heard the news, Yun Nan felt like sheâd had ice-cold water poured on her.
âThe surgery was very successful. Weâve moved the patient into the ICU.â Yun Nan turned around and ran towards the ICU before the doctor could finish speaking. She was too familiar with this hospital.
However, when Yun Nan saw the person lying inside through the glass, she felt like a hammer had struck her heart. She turned around to look at an equally pale Xiang Yang, and the first thing she said to the woman since theyâd met today was the question, âWhereâs Shi Nian?â
Then she blacked out and fell into Xiang Yangâs arms..
