Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry!
"I understand, Father," Huo Zhegan nodded. If he didn't say anything, his younger brother and sister-in-law would definitely be angry, after all, he was their only son.
As a parent myself, he understands the feelings of parents.
Song Chunli, standing to the side, whispered, "Dad, Mom, you should go back first. I'll stay here with you."
Grandpa Huo waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I'll stay here a little longer and keep Yingjie company. I hope he can hear us talking and wake up soon."
"Is this alright?" Song Chunli looked at Zhao Huanhuan, asking her daughter-in-law's opinion.
Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said, "The teacher said that we can talk to Yingjie more. Maybe if he hears the voices of his family, he will wake up."
"That's good." Song Chunli said, "Father, Mother, please don't stand, sit down and rest."
Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo sat on chairs beside Huo Yingjie's bed.
Huo Zhegan sent a telegram.
Huo Zhekun from Nanshi received a telegram and thought something had happened to his parents. He quickly asked Jiang Lifang for leave, packed a few clothes, and boarded the train.
They didn't buy tickets; they only bought them on the train.
Upon arriving at the hospital in Yanjing, they learned that it wasn't their parents who were unwell, but rather Huo Yingjie who was unconscious.
Jiang Lifang broke down in tears in the hospital room.
"Son, son, Mom's here, please wake up!" Jiang Lifang choked out. Because she was in the hospital room, she couldn't cry out loud, so she could only suppress her sobs. The pain was building up in her heart, making Jiang Lifang feel even more miserable.
Huo Zhekun was heartbroken, but being a man, and with his wife crying so much, he could only hold her tightly and say, "Our son is lucky, he'll be alright. Don't cry, maybe he'll wake up in a few days."
"If she could wake up, she would have woken up long ago." Jiang Lifang is a doctor herself. The more someone appears to be fine on the surface but remains unconscious, the more likely there is a reason they don't know.
"You can't lose heart." Huo Zhekun blinked and wiped away his tears. "Our son still needs someone to take care of him. If you get sick from sadness, do you want your parents to take care of Yingjie?"
Jiang Lifang was heartbroken and buried her face in her husband's arms, sobbing silently.
Old Master Huo, Old Madam Huo, and others were outside, giving the couple a chance to be alone with Huo Yingjie, and also giving their daughter-in-law and son space to vent.
Jiang Lifang's crying made everyone else feel down.
After a while, Jiang Lifang, exhausted, sat weakly beside her son's hospital room, took his hand, and said, "Son, please wake up soon! Your mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma are all very worried about you!"
However, Huo Yingjie remained motionless on his hospital bed, just as he always had, as if he were asleep.
Jiang Lifang was on the verge of a breakdown when Zhao Huanhuan entered with her teacher, Dr. Zhang.
After introducing themselves, Dr. Zhang said, "Please step out for a moment, I need to perform acupuncture on the patient."
"Doctor, can I stay here?" Jiang Lifang asked hopefully, wanting to spend more time with her son.
Seeing that Jiang Lifang was emotionally unstable, Dr. Zhang shook his head and said, "You are too agitated and cannot stay here. If you can't take it and make a sound, it will affect me and, in turn, the treatment."
Huo Zhekun also felt that his wife was not in good condition, and said, "Let's go out and not disturb the doctor when he is treating the child."
Jiang Lifang nodded and, supported by her husband, walked out of the ward.
Seeing her daughter-in-law like this, Old Madam Huo couldn't help but feel sad, her eyes reddened, and she shed tears along with her daughter-in-law.
Since the whole family couldn't stay at the hospital, Huo Zhekun told his parents to go home first, while he and his wife would stay there for the time being.
Huo Zhegan wanted to stay, but thinking of his second brother and sister-in-law, he was worried about them going back, so he didn't insist and left with his parents.
Song Chunli was responsible for delivering meals to the hospital and comforting Jiang Lifang.
Although Jiang Lifang and Song Chunli were not particularly close, she appreciated the kindness of Song Chunli bringing them food.
For three days in a row, Huo Yingjie still made no move.
Jiang Lifang was on the verge of a breakdown; she was in a daze.
After receiving an injection and getting a good night's sleep, his condition improved somewhat, so he immediately rushed to the hospital.
“Lifang, I know you’re worried about your son, but if you keep going like this, you’ll break down even after he wakes up,” Huo Zhekun comforted her. “You’ve seen it; Yingjie’s tests are all fine. He’ll be alright.”
Jiang Lifang has heard this kind of talk too many times, and now she no longer believes it.
"If everything is alright, why isn't our son waking up?" Jiang Lifang asked, utterly puzzled.
Jiang Lifang is a doctor, and she can see from some data that Huo Yingjie's condition is constantly improving, but she doesn't know why he just won't wake up.
This doesn't conform to objective laws!
"I guess this kid is too tired and wants to sleep a little longer," Huo Zhekun comforted him. "Don't worry, this kid wants to get married so much, but he was stuck at the base before and didn't have time to come out. Now that he has time and is well-rested, he definitely won't sleep in and will wake up early to get married."
Huo Zhekun spoke and laughed, hoping his words of comfort would put his wife at ease.
However, Huo Zhekun spoke for a while without hearing a response from his wife. He looked down and saw his wife staring in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Huo Zhekun asked, not understanding why his wife had that expression.
Jiang Lifang pushed her husband away, rushed to Huo Yingjie, took her son's hand, and said, "Yingjie, can you hear us talking?"
However, Huo Yingjie's hand remained motionless as before, as if Jiang Lifang had simply imagined the previous movements.
Seeing this, Huo Zhekun assumed his wife was having another episode of delirium and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Don't be like this! Lifang, our son is unconscious right now, I'm really worried you won't be able to handle it. I'm all alone..."
Huo Zhekun is worried about his son, but even more worried about his wife.
Jiang Lifang acted as if she hadn't heard, and said to Huo Yingjie, "Tian Tian wrote a letter saying she misses you very much, and she guessed that the letter you wrote to her was prepared in advance."
As Jiang Lifang said this, her eyes were fixed on Huo Yingjie's hand.
However, a miracle occurred at this moment: Huo Yingjie's hand moved.
"Old Huo, come and see, our son's started moving!" Jiang Lifang said hurriedly. "Look, look..."
However, when Huo Zhekun looked at it, Huo Yingjie's fingers stopped moving again.
"Lifang, wake up!" Huo Zhekun said worriedly, stepping forward to help his wife up.
Seeing that her son didn't move, Jiang Lifang cursed inwardly, "Huo Yingjie, you little brat! I'm so heartbroken, and you don't make a sound, but as soon as I mention your sweetheart, you get all excited."
“Son, do you miss Tian Tian? I’ll go and bring Tian Tian over to keep you company, okay?” Jiang Lifang asked cautiously, but gestured for her husband to look at Huo Yingjie’s hand.
