After eating three bowls of porridge, Lin Yingru finally felt a little better.

He was full of energy.

She got out of bed and changed her clothes. If it weren't for the fact that she was so weak yesterday that she could barely walk, she would have thought that the feeling of lightness she felt today was a dream.

But then she opened the door, changed her clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.

I saw three people sitting in the living room downstairs.

Her husband, with his back to her, said sorrowfully:

"I wonder if Yingru is experiencing a final burst of energy before death. She slept soundly through the night last night and even ate three bowls of porridge this morning. When you go upstairs later, spend some time talking to your mother so that she doesn't have any regrets in her final days..."

Lin Yingru: ...

If this had happened yesterday, she would probably have been moved.

But today her mind was racing, and she couldn't help but wonder if Yan Zhenyue had already found someone else.

Otherwise, why would anyone think she'd reached the end of her life...?

Although her previous condition indicated that she didn't have much time left.

Wen Qinghe roughly knew that her mother-in-law must have used essential oils to achieve the effect. She thought that the effect of diluting the essential oils with water would not be so immediate.

Who would have thought it would have such a noticeable effect on my mother-in-law?

The extraction of essential oils was completed with Yan Xiao's help. Originally, she intended to release the spring water directly so that her mother-in-law could soak in it.

However, Yan Xiao rejected it immediately.

It wasn't that Yan Xiao didn't want to save his mother.

He was deeply touched that the young girl never kept anything from him.

But the effects of this spring water are miraculous.

If the mother's health were to suddenly improve, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.

Especially after Lin Yingru returned, the higher-ups arranged for many doctors to examine her, and her medical records were all kept.

Moreover, Yan Zhenyue is a high-ranking official. It's hard to guarantee that once the girl's secret is exposed, the man will immediately choose to sacrifice his personal interests for the greater good in the spirit of national duty.

Yan Xiao thought to himself that no one could harm Qingqing.

Even though they only used a 100:1 ratio to refine it, the effect still surprised Yan Zhenyue.

Yan Xiao pursed his lips, about to speak, when Lin Yingru came downstairs.

Although the woman's eye sockets were still sunken, her eyes were bright and sparkling, clearly showing that she was full of energy.

Wearing a loose sweater, her thin limbs and torso made her look as frail as paper.

But her steps down the stairs were as light as a swallow, her movements swift and graceful.

“Xiao’er and Qingqing are both here.”

Yan Zhenyue didn't notice that his wife had come downstairs.

He wiped the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, and then turned around.

Seeing that she was dressed lightly and walking quickly, he didn't care that his son and daughter-in-law were there. He quickly went over and picked up his wife, placing her on the sofa. He then took a thin blanket and covered her legs with it.

"Why did you come down dressed so lightly? You're not feeling well, why are you trying to be brave?"

Lin Yingru was well aware of her own health and didn't want to argue with her husband.

Right now, she only wanted to confirm one thing.

She wanted to find an excuse to get Yan Zhenyue away, but he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to her. He was afraid that she might disappear at any moment and stayed by her side.

She didn't find a chance to speak with Wen Qinghe alone until after lunch.

The two of them had taken leave from school in the morning, and now Wen Qinghe and Yan Xiao both knew that the spring water was probably the reason for their success.

With most of my worries gone, I went back to school.

Just before leaving, Wen Qinghe winked playfully at her mother-in-law.

Lin Yingru's pupils trembled slightly, and she was surprised.

For the next few days, she would put a few drops of essential oil in her bath every night.

Not only do I sleep soundly at night, but my energy is also getting better day by day.

His appetite also increased, and in just a few days, his previously sunken cheeks actually gained some flesh.

This only makes Yan Zhenyue, who lives in constant fear for his wife, seem more like someone terminally ill.

Because he couldn't eat or sleep well, and was constantly worried that his wife might die at any moment, Yan Zhenyue looked haggard and dejected in just a few days, as if he had aged ten years.

After working for several days in a row, I was probably at my mental limit.

That day, after another tense night of caring for his wife, he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the person in the bed was gone.

"Yingru?"

The blankets beside him had lost their warmth, and his heart felt as cold as ice.

An overwhelming panic spread, and he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, searching barefoot from room to room.

"Yingru? Yingru!"

With each room he found, his heart sank a little deeper.

He knew that Yingru was free-spirited and easygoing, but also thoughtful at times.

Perhaps sensing that his time was near and not wanting to cause him further distress, he found a place to await the end of his life.

The more he thought about it, the more devastated he felt.

Senior Yan, whom many of the younger generation in the military compound admired immensely, was now kneeling in the hall, his body hunched over, and weeping uncontrollably.

"Yingru, how could you be so silly... Waaah..."

"Waaaaah... We've finally been reunited..."

The almost inaudible sobs could barely be heard outside the courtyard.

Before Lin Yingru even entered the courtyard, she saw her neighbor's comrade-in-arms curiously coming out of his house.

Seeing her return from outside, he was taken aback at first, then asked in surprise, "Sister Lin, are you feeling better?"

Lin Yingru greeted the other person with a smile, "Yeah, I'm much better. Lying down all the time makes my bones feel rusty. So I came out to get some fresh air."

The other party also knew that her family had just found their son who had not been seen for many years, and guessed that Lin Yingru should be in high spirits because of the happy event, and that she looked like she had no more illness now.
