Worried that Xiang Zhilan would wake up, Shen Muzhi quickly let go of her hand and wiped the wetness off her hands.

He looked up at her, and seeing that she didn't open her eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and put her hand back under the covers.

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and quietly looked at Xiang Zhilan.

He just went to see Su Yan. It was the first time he had seen Su Yan's face so closely and so carefully.

Perhaps because her appearance was so badly damaged, not only were the explosion wounds repaired, but her facial features were also reconstructed. Except for her eyes, everything else had been done, and she looks almost exactly the same as before.

The injuries weren't limited to her face; her hands and feet were also covered in indelible scars.

He felt terrible seeing him lying lifelessly in bed like that.

He had only intended to take a quick look and leave, but she slowly woke up, and her dark eyes met his.

He saw a look of shock in her eyes, then immediately grabbed the blanket and covered his head, as if afraid his appearance would frighten others.

Su Yan used to be so confident and composed, always smiling, as if she could solve anything even if the sky fell down.

Over the course of ten years, not only was her appearance ruined, but her personality was also completely overturned. He could even see feelings of inferiority and timidity on her face.

Neither of them spoke for a long time before he asked her if she wanted to see Xu Tingchuan.

Su Yan seemed to know she couldn't hide it from him anymore, so she just shook her head at him and looked at him with a strange expression.

They were mostly silent, exchanging only a few words occasionally.

There wasn't much to talk about; it was like asking about someone you haven't seen in a long time.

He had prepared himself for the questions she would ask, but in the end, none of them came. Did she not expect Xiang Zhilan to save her?

She didn't ask, and he naturally wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative; the answer to this question was too cruel.

After sitting for more than an hour, Xin Zikai arrived, and he got up and left, returning to the maternity ward on the third floor.

He looked at Xiang Zhilan's sleeping face and then thought of Su Yan's mottled and damaged face, and sighed deeply with his eyes closed.

Xiang Zhilan heard his sigh, and her hand under the covers clenched into a fist.

Suddenly it started raining again outside, the pattering rain growing louder, as if even the heavens were pitying this couple who were destined to be apart.

Xiang Zhilan took a light breath, exhaling silently to release the pent-up emotions in her heart.

She didn't know when she fell asleep again. When she woke up, the sunlight was shining brightly into her eyes. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light and opened them.

The person sitting in front of her bed was Ni Sitian, and she let out a dry "hmm".

"You're finally awake." Ni Sitian said as she poured her some water. "It's already ten o'clock. Are you feeling any better?"

When Xiang Zhilan saw that it was Ni Sitian, she felt relieved and much more comfortable. She was helped up and given some water.

After finishing the whole glass, her dryness was relieved. She smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I want more."

“You can’t drink so much at once. Go wash up now, and I’ll set out the lunchbox.” Ni Sitian helped her get out of bed.

Xiang Zhilan slowly walked towards the bathroom, and came out after a while. The small dining table by the hospital bed was full of food, which looked very nutritious.

"Your husband is so good to you, he specially had so much prepared." Ni Sitian had lost five years of her memory and naturally didn't remember Shen Muzhi's many faults, hence her sigh.

Xiang Zhilan's lips twitched, and she thought sarcastically that it was probably to make her stronger so that she could be a blood bank for Su Yan.
