Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue snapped out of her reverie, felt the warmth of her palm, and nodded with a slight smile.

Yes, although life has many disappointments, there are also many things worth protecting, such as her love, her man, and her friends and family.

...

Unbeknownst to the two, on a cold hospital bed in a manor across the Atlantic, a person in a coma stirred, and then the medical equipment started beeping.

Upon seeing this, the person taking care of the patient excitedly called for the doctor.

"Dr. Liao, she just moved her hand."

"Let me take a look."

After a thorough examination, Dr. Liao, whom the man mentioned, said excitedly, "There's nothing wrong. I have good news; there's a high probability she'll wake up."

"Really?" the man exclaimed excitedly.

Dr. Liao nodded.

...

Before dawn the next day, Ye Mohan was woken up by a phone call.

Ye Mohan frowned, and only after glancing at Jian Yixue, who had been woken up, did his displeasure lessen somewhat.

He tiptoed out of bed and dialed the number he had missed earlier. Before he could speak, an anxious voice suddenly rang out from the other end.

"Mo Han, Lingling is in trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan frowned even more deeply. "Grandpa, what exactly happened?"

The old man said in a panic, "That damned second uncle of yours, unable to find me, went after Lingling instead."

This morning I received a message from your second uncle: Lingling is in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan's face instantly turned cold. "I understand. I'll handle this matter. You just need to take good care of yourself."

After hearing this, the old man wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and swallowed his words back.

"You must bring Lingling back safely!" Otherwise, I won't be able to face your parents in the afterlife.

The old man gave his instructions.

"Yes, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mohan immediately called Lin Yi, "No matter where you are right now, find out where Ye Ling'er is right now, and also get my records of Ye Wenyao's whereabouts over the past two weeks."

Lin Yi, who was lying in bed, sat up with a start. "President, is something wrong?"

"My sister is in Ye Wenyao's hands. I need to know the outcome within half an hour," Ye Mohan said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately became agitated. "Okay, President." After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went out.

Ye Mohan returned to his room and saw that Jian Yixue had already woken up as soon as he entered.
