Chapter 518 I will wait, I will wait forever

Time passed slowly.

Sisi's injuries have gradually healed completely.

Huo Yanmo's illness gradually improved, and his wounds had healed.

Lu Yanzhi has already undergone one surgery and is currently recovering, but the results have not been as good as expected. He is now preparing for a second surgery.

A month has passed.

Since Huo Yanmo went to Dongshan to pray last time, Shi Nian's condition has miraculously stabilized.

Perhaps God heard his prayers, because Shi Nian's organs did not continue to fail, and his condition gradually improved.

A month passed, and she still hadn't woken up.

That day.

Shi Nian was finally discharged from the ICU and transferred to a VIP private room.

Huo Yanmo stood aside with Sisi and Zheng Shuhui, watching the medical staff reattach some instruments to Shi Nian.

It's just much less than before.

"His health has improved considerably," the doctor told Huo Yanmo. "He's out of danger, but..."

He just hasn't woken up yet.

"We'll just have to wait and see when he'll wake up," the doctor said with a long sigh.

Huo Yanmo gripped Sisi's hand tightly.

The doctor left, leaving only a few of them in the ward.

Zheng Shuhui was crying softly, and Sisi went to comfort her.

Huo Yanmo stood in front of Shi Nian's hospital bed.

He reached out and gently touched her face.

This was the first time he had touched her in so many days.

Instead of watching her from afar through the glass as before.

Her cheeks were still soft and smooth, but she was thinner than before.

His eyes were red, and Huo Yanmo's heart ached beyond words.

Lin Zhihuan, Fu Jinyan, Lin Yuchen, and others also arrived and gathered around the area.

Hearing what Zheng Shuhui told them about the doctor's words, everyone felt very sad.

“I thought that once she was out of danger, Nian Nian would wake up, but now I don’t know how much longer I have to wait,” Lin Zhihuan said, choking back tears.

"Why won't Niannian wake up?" Fu Jinyan said, his eyes red. "We're all waiting for her."

Huo Yanmo looked down at Shi Nian's tightly closed eyes. A tear fell onto her face, and he reached out to wipe it away.

Why hasn't he woken up yet?

Are you too tired?

From a very young age, I have been struggling to move forward, for my mother, for myself, and later for my lover, for my children, for the Shi family, for my father, and to find out the truth.

Even when in dire straits, you must find a way to fight back.

I've been working on it for a very, very long time.

I've always been alone.

They have shouldered and endured far too much.

The sound of wheels approached, and Lu Yanzhi, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared at the door of the ward.

He also looked into the distance.

Huo Yanmo stood up straight, closed his eyes, and controlled his emotions.

“Niannian will wake up,” he said, his voice slightly hoarse and filled with a sense of restraint. “She’s probably just tired and is resting.”

Huo Yanmo continued, "She will wake up and be with us once she has rested."

"I will wait." With that, Huo Yanmo opened his eyes, looked at Shi Nian's face, and said, "I will wait forever."

The wind was blowing gently.

All eyes were on her.

Speechless with sadness.

...

Huo Yanmo bought a house near the hospital to make it easier for Zheng Shuhui and Sisi to come and go.

He himself moved into Shi Nian's hospital room.

No matter how busy he was, he would come to keep her company every day.

Today is the first night that Huo Yanmo has spent with Shi Nian in a private hospital room.

After Zheng Shuhui and Sisi left, only Huo Yanmo and Shi Nian remained.

He brought a basin of warm water and wiped her body.

"You've lost so much weight again," he said softly. "I've raised so many things and they all grow plump, but you just won't get fat no matter what I do, you've even gotten thinner."

“Sisi has grown up very quickly. She’s not that little crybaby anymore,” Huo Yanmo continued. “Now she’s showing signs of becoming the big sister in her class, and everyone likes her.”

"If you keep sleeping like this, you might miss many of her wonderful moments."

Huo Yanmo spoke softly to her as he washed her.

Hopefully, as I keep talking, she'll become interested and give me some feedback.

But even after he took the basin away, emptied the water, returned to her side, and tucked the blanket around her, she still didn't react.

"well……"

Huo Yanmo let out a soft sigh.

He opened a drawer on one side and took out a box.

Open the box.

It was full of jewels, but they were covered in blood.

These are the pieces of jewelry that Shi Nian wore on her wedding day.

Later, when she was beaten by Li Yanqing, the jewelry she was wearing was also stained with blood.

He still remembers that her entire hand, where she wore their wedding ring, was covered in blood, and the ring shimmered faintly amidst the bloodstains and firelight.

Huo Yanmo took out other cleaning tools and reached out to take out the ring.

He sat beside Shi Nian's hospital bed, holding tools, and gently wiping away the bloodstains.

After wiping the rings, I wiped the necklace, bracelet, earrings...

Wipe them one by one.

There was no other sound in the ward, only him keeping her company.

After the bloodstains on the surface were cleaned off, the jewelry shimmered brilliantly under the cold hospital lights.

It reminded him of that day when she wore these jewels and that beautiful wedding dress, walking towards him step by step, and making a promise to him for life.

It's so beautiful.

I really wish I could go back to that time and change everything.

But this is just a beautiful wish.

Huo Yanmo glanced at Shi Nian beside him, smiled bitterly, and then put them into the professional cleaning machine.

Many bloodstains or other substances in the crevices will be washed out.

As for her wedding dress...

There were so many bloodstains, scratches, and burn marks on it.

Later, when Shi Nian was urgently rescued, the tear in her clothes was so bad that they were practically unrecognizable.

It's beyond repair.

He called Mrs. Mesa, who said she was very sorry that the damage was too severe to be repaired.

He kept that wedding dress in their home.

He specially got a glass cabinet, and after cleaning and simple repairs, put it inside.

The instrument cleaning is complete.

Huo Yanmo took out all the jewelry and put them into boxes.

Then I put it back in the cabinet and stored it away.

Finally, he sat by her bedside and gently stroked her face.

"It's late." Huo Yanmo smiled slightly and said gently, "Good night."

No one responded to him.

He gently kissed her forehead, glanced at her again, then went back to his own bed and turned off the light.
