Chen Sisi's body suddenly stiffened, and she felt guilty and dared not look Gu Chengfeng in the eye.

Wasn't he unconscious just now? How could he possibly remember those words?

"What...what did you say?" Shen Sisi feigned ignorance.

Gu Chengfeng hooked her finger and secretly exerted force, as if he wanted to use that finger to draw out all the secrets in her heart.

"Gu Chengfeng, stop fooling around, you need to rest now." Chen Sisi tried to escape as if she were fleeing, but heard someone behind her cry out in pain.

"What's wrong?" Her concern was undeniable.

Gu Chengfeng gazed at her quietly, his weak face revealing a hint of triumphant smile in his affectionate eyes.

"Sisi, I heard everything."

"I'm waiting for you to tell me your secrets..." Gu Chengfeng smiled mischievously and closed his eyes contentedly.

Shen Sisi never expected that he would actually hear what she said.

Should I really tell him this secret?

The secret about Niu Niu was like a big rock, weighing on her heart for many years.

She was just saying it casually, deliberately making conversation to provoke Gu Chengfeng into a more conscious state.

Unexpectedly, he heard every word and took it seriously.

"You rest, I'll go get some hot water." Shen Sisi grabbed the kettle and ran out of the room as if her life depended on it.

When she returned from queuing for water, there were already quite a few people gathered in the room.

Gu Changhe, Xu Hongying, and her two aunts all came and gathered around the bed, asking about her well-being.

Chen Sisi's face immediately darkened, and she slammed the thermos down, making a loud "Duang" sound.

Everyone turned around, and the gap that appeared allowed Gu Chengfeng to see the displeased expression on his wife's face.

"Quiet down, everyone. Chengfeng just woke up and needs to rest!"

"Hey you..." Gu Qingqian was about to make a move when Gu Changhe and Xu Hongying glared at her and shut her up.

Gu Wanyin tugged at her sleeve and said with a smile, "Look how happy we are... we've lost track of time. Sisi is right, Chengfeng does need to rest. Let's go back now and make him some nourishing soup."

Gu Changhe nodded: "Yes, Chengfeng is still recovering, so it's enough to leave one person here to take care of him."

Xu Hongying looked at Shen Sisi with heartache. She had worked hard these past few days, staying with her son day and night: "Sisi, why don't you go back and rest first, and let someone else take over the guard here."

Gu Chengfeng couldn't speak, but nodded slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen Shen Sisi look so haggard. Her usually meticulously combed long hair was now messy, her complexion was sallow, and she had dark circles under her eyes.

He was heartbroken.

"You...you go back..." Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth weakly, his tongue still a little stiff.

She poured a glass of warm water, then took a cotton swab and walked to his lips, gently dipping the swab in the water and placing it near his mouth.

"I won't go back, I'll stay here with you..."

She doesn't trust anyone else but her.

Later, Xu Hongying forcibly dragged the person out of the ward.

"Old Gu, why don't you stay here and take care of your son?"

Gu Changhe had only been here a short time, and before he could even settle into his seat, he was assigned a task.

Shen Sisi thought he would refuse, but to her surprise, Gu Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll stay in the hospital, so you won't nag me all day long."

"I knew it! You were just trying to run away, huh!"

Xu Hongying and Gu Wanyin helped Chen Sisi back, trying to persuade her not to continue working so hard.

"You might already be carrying the Gu family's child, so you can't overwork yourself!"

Shen Sisi was both amused and exasperated. She really wanted to tell Xu Hongying that she and Gu Chengfeng had never consummated their marriage, so where did the child come from?

However, she really needs to go back and rest.

These past few days in the hospital have left her body aching and her head spinning. Because Gu Chengfeng hadn't woken up, she was always on edge, never daring to relax.

However, once Gu Chengfeng woke up, she completely relaxed, and drowsiness surged up from all directions like a tide...

She slept soundly until noon the next day.

A small, clawing creature, like an octopus, clung to her.

Chen Sisi felt a weight on her body and opened her eyes groggily, only to see a pink and tender little face.

"Mommy, Mommy, wake up... the sun's already high in the sky..."

Her soft, sweet voice was warmer than the sun in the sky, almost melting her heart.

"Sweetie, what time is it now?" Shen Sisi yawned.

Niu Niu looked at the clock on the wall. Her mother had taught her how to read a clock before, and she already knew how to tell time. She could tell her mother the time.

She glanced up at the sky with her tiny eyes and said, "Mom, it's 12:10."

Twelve o'clock!

Chen Sisi was instantly wide awake; she had actually slept for so long.

"No, I have to go to the hospital right away." Shen Sisi propped herself up and quickly put on her shoes. Just as she was about to rush out, Gu Qingqian came into the living room and said sarcastically.

"The hospital doesn't need you. By the time you get there, it'll be too late."

Shen Sisi completely ignored her yin and yang, turned her head and asked, "Is everything alright at the hospital?"

Gu Qingqian rolled her eyes: "What, do you want something to happen to my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sisi gleaned the most crucial information: Gu Chengfeng was alright.

She then slowly put on her clothes: "Gu Qingqian, can't you speak properly?"
