Xu Qingyun was the second daughter of the Xu family. She was driven out of her home at the age of twelve and disappeared for ten years.
When she returned, she was stunning in a cheongsam, exu...
"Yunyun, you're awake! You're awake!"
Ji Hanchen's voice trembled, and his bloodshot eyes were already brimming with tears, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
These past three days have felt like an eternity to him; it felt like a lifetime had passed in just a few days.
Looking at the lifeless Yunyun, he was so desperate that he wanted to die, but God finally took pity on him and gave his Yunyun back!
Huo Yan also put his hands in his pockets, turned his handsome face to the side, and tears streamed down his face.
At that moment, he wished he could rush over and say, "Little sister, you're finally awake! I was so worried!"
The others were equally excited.
Xia Chu, being held by Shen Luo, heard Xu Qingyun wake up and said urgently, "Shen Luo, put me down quickly!"
Shen Luo put Xia Chu down, and the two of them followed her into the intensive care unit.
Xu Qingyun's eyelashes were trembling slowly, but very slowly, as if she was trying hard to open her eyelids but couldn't.
Her mind was a little muddled; she didn't know where she was or what was happening. All she could hear was Ji Hanchen and the others chattering in her ear.
The sound was somewhat noisy, yet it felt as if one were inside a giant bell, with their voices coming from outside.
"Yunyun, can you hear me?"
Ji Hanchen was extremely anxious. After asking but receiving no response, he immediately looked at Bai Ruiting and asked, "What happened?! Yunyun is awake, isn't she?!"
Bai Ruiting nodded emphatically, "She's definitely awake, but her consciousness is still a bit hazy. After all, her organs have experienced failure and can't immediately return to normal function."
Hearing this, Ji Hanchen breathed a sigh of relief, then bent down and said in a hoarse and tired voice, "Yunyun, don't worry, you're alright, you're saved. Your mother's ashes have been properly placed, so don't worry."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Qingyun's consciousness gradually cleared.
She remembered that Xu Jia had forced her to take medication for organ failure, and she had fought with Xu Jia before falling into a coma.
She remembered that Ye Jingnan came at that time.
It's unknown whether Xu Jia has gone so far as to harm Ye Jingnan.
After regaining consciousness, Xu Qingyun seemed less tired, and her eyelids slowly opened.
She saw Ji Hanchen's haggard face, Huo Yan's tears streaming down his face, Qin Shuang and Xia Chu hugging each other and sobbing, and Shen Luo and Lu Chuan suppressing their emotions.
Xu Qingyun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat felt like it was being torn apart, and it hurt a lot.
Ji Hanchen held her hand tenderly, "Yunyun, don't say anything yet, you need to adjust."
Xu Qingyun closed her dry, pale lips again, and wearily closed her watery eyes.
Bai Ruiting looked at the others and said, "It's not good for Qingyun to rest if everyone stays here. Why don't you all go back and rest too?"
Lu Chuan nodded, "Okay, we'll come back later. Qin Shuang can also go back and get some sleep. I feel sorry for her because of those dark circles under her eyes."
Qin Shuang walked to the bedside and whispered to Xu Qingyun, "Xiaoyun, you should rest well. I'll come again tomorrow."
Qin Shuang was overjoyed to see Xu Qingyun wake up.
It's no exaggeration to say that these past few days, seeing Ji Hanchen staying by her bedside without eating or drinking, she even considered just atone for her sins with her death.
It's finally all better now; Xiaoyun has woken up.
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly to Qin Shuang.
After Qin Shuang and Lu Chuan left, Shen Luo also took Xia Chu and left the ward, but did not leave the hospital.
"Shen Luo, why did you bring me here?" Xia Chu looked at Shen Luo in shock. This was the obstetrics and gynecology department. Had he gone mad?
Shen Luo didn't say anything, but pulled her to a professor's office.
He had already asked Bai Ruiting to make arrangements in advance, so they could just go in.
The old professor was a woman, with a kind smile: "Are you feeling unwell? Come and sit down."
Xia Chu was very resistant and said, "Sorry, he made a mistake," before trying to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Chen Luo's arms.
Shen Luo held Xia Chu down and said to the professor in a deep voice, "She's nauseous and vomiting; she might be pregnant."
Xia Chu almost laughed out of anger, her face cold and mocking, "Chen Luo, are you crazy? Do you think I don't know my own body? Besides, after the miscarriage last time, the doctor said that I can't get pregnant again, have you forgotten?!"
Xia Chu spoke sharply and sternly; that child was a sharp pain in her heart, and every time she mentioned him, it would hurt again.
Not bringing up the past with Shen Luo wasn't because she forgot; it was just a deliberate attempt to ignore the pain. Only in this way could she disregard all the harm Shen Luo had done to her and continue living with him.
Xia Chu loved Chen Luo too much, so she preferred to deceive herself and be a coward.
But as disappointment accumulated and she witnessed Shen Luo's cruelty and ruthlessness time and time again, she suddenly realized that she and Shen Luo were really not suitable to be together.
They were destined to be from two different worlds; their marriage was nothing more than a shackle on each other. Shen Luo's lack of love would only torment her, leaving her battered and bruised.
So she gave up; she awakened!
Xia Chu turned to leave, but Shen Luo held her tightly in his arms, staring intently at her: "Investigate."
Xia Chu shoved him away, "Chen Luo, I'll say it again, I can't be pregnant!"
"Investigate!" Shen Luo shouted sharply, a single, blunt word that brooked no argument.
Because of that miscarriage, Grandpa had the servants prepare nourishing soups for Xia Chu every day. Three years have passed, and her body should have recovered by now.
At the beginning of summer, his anger was burning and he almost exploded.
However, Shen Luo was tall and strong, and his arms held her tightly, and she could not break free no matter how hard she tried.
A layer of sweat appeared on my forehead, making the dizziness and nausea of early summer even more intense.
