I don’t know how much time has passed, but Lin Zhixing gradually regained consciousness. He only felt dizzy and his eyelids were very heavy.

The surroundings were pitch black, with almost no light within sight.

Only a little moonlight filtered in through the tightly drawn curtains.

There was an unknown stench mixed with the smell of earth in the air.

Where is this? Why is she here?

Lin Zhixing just moved...

“Hmm…”

His whole body looked like he had been beaten up, and his bones seemed like they would fall apart in the next second.

What he was lying on must be an old sofa, with hard sponge and a smell of earth.

Lin Zhixing's mind was still in a daze, and he hadn't yet fully sorted out his thoughts when he heard the sound of someone moving.

There was the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.

Lin Zhixing quickly closed his eyes and pretended that he had not woken up.

She felt the man coming up the stairs towards her.

The footsteps stopped next to the sofa.

This person was standing next to her at the moment, but his breathing was very light.

Lin Zhixing didn't dare to move or open his eyes.

The whole space was eerily quiet.

She couldn't even hear the man breathing.

until……

"Are you awake? Doctor Lin."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears!

"ah!"

Lin Zhixing gasped in shock.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

With a little light, she saw He Yan standing beside her, bending over, his face almost touching her!

After confirming that she was awake, He Yan slowly stood up and sat down on the wooden bench next to her.

"Doctor Lin, you worked hard on the night shift yesterday. I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't dare disturb you. I've also bandaged your wound."

He Yan's tone remained the same as always.

It seems like their current situation is not like this, and they are still colleagues in the hospital.

Listening to the man's words, Lin Zhixing gradually regained his blank memory.

Only then did I realize what was happening.

She was riding home from her night shift when she apparently got into a car accident.

When I woke up again, I was here...

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Zhixing was so nervous that he wanted to sit up.

She just used her hands to support herself.

The next second, he fell back heavily onto the sofa.

Although she had just woken up, her body was completely powerless, but her consciousness was extremely clear.

"Doctor Lin, go slower, don't fall."

He Yan spoke, his tone no different from usual.

Lin Zhixing couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in his heart. "What did you inject me with?"

"It's just some tranquilizer." He Yan was fiddling with something in his hands. "By the way, can you tell me about you and He Yanchen? Why did you break up so suddenly? How did you get by abroad these past few years? Is it hard to raise a child alone?"

“…”

"You are truly a good mother. Even though you had such a hard time, you still gave birth to your child and raised him well."

He Yan pulled the stool into Lin Zhixing's sight.

His tone was full of sincerity.

Lin Zhixing tried to shake hands, but found that he couldn't even use his fingers.

She didn't know what was going on.

One thing is certain.

He Yanchen already knows her situation and will definitely find a way to find her.

He Yan's purpose might be that he didn't want to be caught, and he kidnapped her just to negotiate terms.

There is still hope, she won't die.

She can't die either.

What will happen to An An if she dies...

She couldn't let An An become like her and lose her mother at the age of four.

Lin Zhixing lay in bed and spoke weakly, "The child did nothing wrong. He chose me to be his mother, so of course I have to do my best to treat him well."

"He's so lucky to have a mother like you." He Yan murmured, "I haven't even seen my parents, I don't know what they look like."

"I've fantasized countless times about whether they would come to the orphanage to find me one day. Even if it's just to take a look at me, I have the confidence that they would be willing to take me back..."

He Yan's tone was very calm, without any complaints or grumbling.

Maybe it’s because of his age, and what happened during this period, he no longer clings to these things.

As the man finished speaking, the entire space returned to silence.

Makes the night seem even colder.

Soon, He Yan continued, "But I am still very lucky. I met Aunt Zhou. From then on, someone remembered my birthday, I received gifts on holidays, someone cared whether I had eaten, and gave me clothes when it was cold."

Lin Zhixing listened quietly.

It was difficult for her to connect the Zhou Qiaohua mentioned by He Yan with the Zhou Qiaohua she had met.

It seems that Zhou Qiaohua is not without maternal love.

It’s just that she didn’t give this love to He Yanchen.

Lin Zhixing then said cautiously: "He Yan, Aunt Zhou also has deep feelings for you. She has been very anxious since you lost contact..."

"How is Aunt Zhou? How is her recovery?"

When He Yan asked these questions, his tone was nervous.

"She was very worried after you lost contact, so..."

"So you want me to let you go and go back, right?"

He Yan continued speaking along with her words.

Lin Zhixing nodded, "Yes, you..."

"Doctor Lin, do you think I would do this if I wasn't at my wit's end?" He Yan laughed, but there was no joy in his voice. "More than any of you, I hope that everything will remain the same as before and never change, but I don't have the opportunity to choose..."

"There's no such thing as a dead end."
