It was Liu Yuanzhu who expressed his love for her, a love that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

After reading it, Duan Yueman burst into tears.

Holding the letter in her arms, she thought of how good Liu Yuanzhu had been to her, realizing that she had never seen it all along.

But after this parting, I don't know when we'll meet again.

She dared not accept this love, fearing that her background would implicate their family.

Duan Hongguo was confined for several days, and when he returned home, he was exhausted.

Although his work was unaffected, he felt exhausted from being verbally abused by those people these past few days.

She fainted as soon as she entered the house.

"Bang!"

"Commander!"

When the guard saw Duan Hongguo collapse, he immediately ran over and called out to him.

Upon receiving news of Duan Hongguo's return, Haider was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise and came out.

"Hongguo!" She panicked immediately.

He was quickly taken to the hospital, where the doctor examined him and said that his old health problems had flared up and that he had recently fallen into a coma due to malnutrition.

Haideer stayed by her side and rushed home to find out that her father was seriously ill and had been sent to the hospital. Haidu Cheng also rushed to the hospital immediately.

"Mom, how is Dad now?" Hai Dongcheng asked worriedly.

These past few days, he's been busy with things at home.

My mother is in poor health, my father is not at home, and I have an older sister who is locked up.

He could say he didn't get a good night's sleep.

When Haider saw her son arrive, she made a shushing gesture to him: "Your father is fine now. He can be discharged after a few days of rest. Go home and cook some food to bring over."

She still had soup simmering in the pot, which she originally intended to give Duan Hongguo some nourishing soup.

Hai Dongcheng glanced at his father, who lay unconscious on the bed, with concern.

"I'll stay here, you should go back quickly." Haider was also worried that Duan Hongguo would want to eat something after he woke up.

Hai Dongcheng nodded as he prepared to leave.

"Brother Dongcheng, Auntie, how is Uncle Duan?" Lan Yusui appeared at this moment carrying a thermal lunchbox. She was wearing a light green long dress and had two small braids.

Hai Dongcheng was surprised to see her. In response to her concern, he immediately thanked her and said, "Dad is fine now. He just needs to rest. What brings you here?"

“My parents are too busy to come, so they asked me to come and visit you. I just went to your house and found that you had soup simmering in your kitchen. I thought it was almost ready, so I brought it over.”

Haider saw Lan Yusui, who was pink and tender, and very cute.

"Yu Sui, thank you so much for going to the trouble of making this trip."

"It's alright, Auntie. Uncle Duan is usually very kind to me, so it's only right that he comes to visit."

Lan Suiyu said very politely.

Haider looked at her daughter's sister-in-law and found her more and more adorable.

She got along very well with Qian Xiuying and was very good to her children.

"If you need anything, you can call me and I'll bring it to you."

Just as Lan Yusui finished speaking, Duan Hongguo woke up, his throat dry and itchy from thirst.

"You're awake?" Haider asked first, showing concern.

"Water~"

Duan Hongguo just wants to drink water right now.

He spoke weakly, and Hai Dongcheng immediately turned around to pour water for Duan Hongguo.

He fed him water, helped him sit up, and Lan Yusui rocked the bed.

"Would you like some more water?" Haydell asked again.

Duan Hongguo drank some water and regained some strength, then shook his head.

Hai Dongcheng put the water glass aside, picked up a pillow and placed it behind Duan Hongguo so that he could lean against it.

"Slower!"

"Uncle Duan, are you alright?" Lan Yusui asked worriedly as she placed the soup on the table.

Duan Hongguo glanced at Lan Yusu, then at Hai Daier, noticing the worry in his wife's eyes.

He smiled, gently patted his wife's hand, and responded to Lan Yusui's reassurance: "Good child, don't worry, Uncle Duan is fine."

Lan Yusui breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Uncle Duan, my second brother and sister-in-law have already gone to the army. They called back a few days ago and said everything is fine, so you don't need to worry about them."

When Duan Hongguo went out with Lan Huaixi that day, he heard him say that the two children should go first.

Nodding, he said, "I'm relieved that you're doing well. Have you and the children been worried these past few days?" Duan Hongguo said with heartache as he looked at his wife.

Haider had really scared her; her nose was acting up, feeling a little sore.

Turning to look at the soup that Lan Yusui had brought, he opened the pot and said, "Drink some soup first to replenish your strength."

Hedelle spoke as she poured out the soup.

Hai Dongcheng felt that his parents needed time alone together.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go back and get you some clean clothes, and I'll also take Yu Sui back with me."

Duan Hongguo thought it would be a good opportunity to have a proper talk with his wife, so he nodded in agreement.

Lan Yusui also felt that she should not stay any longer, so she said, "Uncle Duan, you should get some rest."

"Okay, good boy, be careful on your way back."

He left the ward under the watchful eyes of his two elders.

The room was quiet the moment the door closed.

Haider met Duan Hongguo's gaze, and for a moment, she looked away.

Duan Hongguo reached out and held Haideer's hand, saying, "Wife, I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Haider wanted to open his hand, but looking into his eyes, she felt sorry for him.

Even though he himself had suffered a lot, he thought about it and still didn't do it.

“I’m fine. My mother-in-law from July has been coming to chat with me these past few days.” Qian Xiuying talks to her every day after get off work.
