"She's awake! Xiao Ruo is awake!"

Everyone in the ward gathered around.

Bai Xiaoruo touched her forehead, which was wrapped in thick gauze, and struggled to sit up from the hospital bed.

Annie and Mu Qingyan carefully supported her, saying, "Niannian, take it easy."

Bai Xiaoru stared blankly at her surroundings, at the unfamiliar hospital room, and at each of them.

The entire Xian family came: Grandpa, Ji Shushu, Gu Yao, Pei Huai, Chi Hao... everyone was there.

Little Youyou was being held in Fang Peiru's arms and had just fallen asleep.

At first, the adults could keep it from the little one, but as time went on and she couldn't see her parents, she got anxious and started crying for them. Fang Peiru and Xian Shaodong had no choice but to tell her the truth.

Xiao Youyou lay down next to Bai Xiaoruo's bed, crying her heart out. She thought her mother was dead and didn't want her anymore.

Fang Peiru comforted her for a long time, and the little one cried herself to sleep.

Bai Xiaoruo was familiar with everyone here.

But the one person she most wanted to see was not here.

What about him?

In her last memory, they were driving home when they got into an argument. She was yelling at him to open the door and get out of the car, but he stopped her.

Then she heard the sound of a car horn in front of her, a very fast car. Xuan Mingyu was already desperately turning the steering wheel, but he still couldn't avoid it. Just as they were about to collide, he suddenly reached out and hugged her, preventing her from suffering more serious injuries from the collision.

The two cars collided violently, and her head slammed hard against the car window, causing her to faint from the pain.

Bai Xiaoruo couldn't remember what happened after that.

In that critical moment, he gave up almost all his chances of survival for her.

Where is he? How is he now? Is he badly injured?

"Where is he? I need to see him!"

"Niannian, what you're saying is..."

Everyone's expression instantly turned somewhat grim.

The smile of relief at Bai Xiaoruo's awakening was gone from his face; instead, there was sadness.

"I'm not Mo Niannian, I'm Bai Xiaoruo. I remember everything, I remember everything!"

Bai Xiaoruo grabbed Annie in front of her, "Sister Annie, tell me! Where is he? Where exactly is Xuan Mingyu?!"

"Xiao Ruo, don't get excited. You just woke up... Can you rest a little longer?"

"No! I don't want to rest! Where is he! Where is he at all?"

Everyone chose to remain silent; they didn't know how to tell Bai Xiaoruo about Xian Mingyu.

Little Youyou was woken up by Bai Xiaoruo's sudden loud shout. The little one rubbed her eyes and saw her mother. She was so happy that she thought she was dreaming and reached out for her mother to hug her.

"Mommy, Mommy, hug me, hug Youyou..."

"Don't touch me!"

Bai Xiaoruo acted like a madwoman. She pushed Xiaoyouyou away, and the little girl almost fell out of Fang Peiru's arms, bursting into tears.

"Waaaah... Mommy... Mommy doesn't want Youyou anymore... Waaah... Mommy, Youyou will be good, you will be obedient... Please don't abandon Youyou..."

"Xiao Ruo, what are you doing! Youyou is your daughter! How can you treat her like this?" Fang Peiru scolded.

She's so young, all she wants is for her mom to hug her, what did she do wrong?

"I don't want... I don't want my daughter... I don't want anything... I just want him... Where is he? Where is he? Why won't any of you tell me? I want to find him... I want to find him!" Bai Xiaoruo threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.

Annie and Mu Qingyan quickly pulled her back, "Xiao Ruo, calm down. You just woke up and you're still injured. You can't run around."

"Let me go! All of you, let me go! I need to find him! I need to find him!"

She struggled, unable to hear anything; her mind was filled with nothing but Xian Mingyu.

Is he dead or alive? What happened to him? She has to know! She has to find him!

"Ruoruo! Calm down! If you move around again, your wound will bleed again. How can you face Mingyu's original intention of risking his life to protect you!"

Feng Zhiyuan's words quieted Bai Xiaoruo down, who was still crying and shouting that she wanted to find Xian Mingyu.

Yes, he didn't even care about his own safety at the time, only thinking about protecting her. If I don't cherish this hard-won life, how can I live up to his sacrifices for her?

Although Feng Zhiyuan was heartbroken, he was ultimately helpless.

"He is still alive, but his condition is very bad."

"What's wrong? Why is it wrong? Grandpa, where is he? I want to see him, can I see him just once?"

Xian Shaodong, standing nearby, added to Feng Zhiyuan's words: "Mingyu is still in the intensive care unit. He is not out of danger yet. Xiaoruo, you have been asleep for two days, and in these two days, he has shown no signs of waking up. He is seriously injured, with multiple fractures all over his body, especially the most serious head injury... The doctor said that if his condition worsens, he may not survive these few days... Even if he survives, he may very well become a vegetable."

Thinking of her son's injuries, Fang Peiru couldn't help but cover her face and sob again. "There was no one on that road at the time. It was the driver of the car that made the call and got you into the ambulance. When we arrived at the hospital, you had already been taken into the operating room. The driver said that Mingyu was covered in blood, and there was blood everywhere... The car later exploded, and before the explosion... he used all his strength to pull you out of the car before he collapsed himself..."
