After the operation, Tian Mingwu lay in bed for another three days and finally showed signs of waking up.
A servant was wiping his body when he found that his fingers could actually move. The servant did not dare to delay and quickly informed Tian An.
After Tian An came over to examine him, he asserted that he would wake up within two days.
Sure enough, the next day, the caretaker heard Tian Mingwu talking in his sleep.
Although it was a low voice, he was sure he heard it correctly.
Although the talking in his sleep had stopped by the time Tian An and the others came over, Tian An knew that he was not lying.
He immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare some porridge for Tian Mingwu to drink when he woke up.
Then he took Xiaokang and Xiaoqi to guard the bed and took care of him personally until he woke up. Even Zhao Yiming took a book and read while waiting.
There is not much time left before the provincial examination. Zhao Yiming now always has a book in his hand and takes it with him wherever he goes, not wasting a single moment of time.
Finally, hard work paid off. In the afternoon, when Tian An was using a cotton swab dipped in warm water to moisten Tian Mingwu's lips, he clearly noticed that his lips were moving.
Then he heard a barely audible voice. Tian An leaned over to hear clearly what he said: "Wan'er, wait for me..."
Tian An was stunned. Wan'er? An Wan?
Originally, he wanted to collect the DNA of the An family members and compare it with his own when he went to visit the An family on the first day of the new year. However, since the night of New Year's Eve, Tian An has been uneasy and forgot about it.
Although she had suspected it long ago, she was still a little shocked when she heard An Wan's name from Tian Mingwu's mouth. So, was An Wan really her mother? The An family was really her grandmother's family.
He can remember An Wan, so Tian Mingwu has recovered his memory?
While Tian An was stunned, the sound from Tian Mingwu's mouth became louder and clearer.
But this time, he said: "Water, water..."
Xiaokang, Xiaoqi and Zhao Yiming, who had already noticed the commotion here, came over.
Hearing that Tian Mingwu wanted to drink water, Zhao Yiming returned to the round table, hurriedly picked up the kettle on the table and poured another cup of warm water. He then took a spoon and handed it to Tian An, replacing the cotton swab and the cold water in her hand.
Tian An took the cup and spoon, and carefully scooped water with the spoon to feed Tian Mingwu.
Tian Mingwu seemed to have been working for a long time. He quickly drank a cup of water with Tian An's spoon, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
Seeing this, Zhao Yiming quickly went to pour another glass of water.
This time, Tian Mingwu stopped drinking after drinking only half a glass of water. Seeing that he didn't want to drink anymore, Tian An put down the glass and spoon.
Then, the four people stared at Tian Mingwu with eight eyes without blinking, waiting for him to wake up.
A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, half an hour passed...
Just when the four thought Tian Mingwu would not wake up so soon, Xiaokang, who had been holding Tian Mingwu's hand, suddenly said excitedly: "It's moving, Daddy's hand is moving."
The four of them looked over hurriedly and saw that Tian Mingwu's hands began to clench subconsciously.
Tian An hurried to look at Tian Mingwu's face and caught a glimpse of his eyelids moving.
After another long while, under the nervous gaze of the four people, Tian Mingwu finally opened his eyes as expected.
However, the moment he saw Tian An, he subconsciously called out: "Wan'er..."
Tian An quickly exchanged a glance with Zhao Yiming before whispering to him, "Dad, I'm An An!"
Perhaps because he had just woken up, Tian Mingwu was obviously a little slow to react. After a long while, he looked at Tian An and said, "An An, you are An An."
Seeing Tian Mingwu called Tian An, Xiaokang hurriedly said: "Dad, I am Xiaokang."
Then it was Xiaoqi, "Dad, I'm Xiaoqi, don't you remember me?"
Tian Mingwu was slow to react. He shifted his gaze from Tian An's face to the two little ones and said with some difficulty, "Xiaokang. Xiaoqi."
Seeing his father calling his name, Xiaokang said excitedly: "Yeah! Dad, I'm Xiaokang, I thought you didn't remember me."
Xiaoqi was also so happy that she was talking incoherently.
Tian Mingwu didn't wake up for long this time. After listening to the two little guys chattering for a long time, he fell asleep again tiredly.
Seeing that he would not wake up for a while, Tian An called his younger brothers and Zhao Yiming to go to the living room for dinner and tell the An family the good news.
When the An family heard that Tian Mingwu had woken up, they were happy for Tian An and his siblings. Knowing that Tian Mingwu was still very weak, they did not insist on visiting him, but only told him to rest first and they would visit him later.
There are a lot of things going on in the Anguo Mansion. They have been in the General's Mansion for such a long time, and Tian Mingwu is fine now.
After dinner, except for Mrs. An and An Rong, everyone else said goodbye. They would come to visit Tian Mingwu again in a few days when he felt better.
Tian An guessed that Tian Mingwu would wake up again at night, so he stayed by his bedside.
Originally, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi wanted to go too, but Tian An dismissed them by saying that they were too young to stay up late, and that staying up late would affect their studies, and that children should focus on their studies.
But Zhao Yiming stayed with his book.
Late in the evening, Tian Mingwu woke up as Tian An had expected.
This time when he woke up, he was obviously much more energetic. However, when he opened his eyes and looked at Tian An for the first time, he mistook her for An Wan. It was only after Tian An reminded him that he realized what was going on.
Tian An didn't ask him about An Wan. He first asked the servant to go to the kitchen to bring some porridge. He personally fed him half a bowl of porridge before slowly talking to him.
After having the servants carry the bowls of porridge down, Tian An said directly: "Dad has recovered his memory, right?"
Tian Mingwu paused for a long time, looked at Tian An, then looked at Zhao Yiming beside him before slowly nodding in acknowledgment.
Seeing him nod, Tian An continued, "Wan'er, is she my mother?"
Tian Mingwu continued to nod. "I never called your mother's name in front of you when you were a child, so you don't know."
"My mother, what's her last name?" Tian An thought for a moment before asking.
This time, Tian Mingwu didn't say anything, but looked at Zhao Yiming beside him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yiming knew what the conversation would be like next. Tian Mingwu didn't want him to know, so he stood up, bowed to him, and was about to leave.
Tian An, however, pulled him back and looked at Tian Mingwu, "Dad, Brother Yiming is not an outsider."
Tian Mingwu looked at Zhao Yiming for a long time, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind. After a long time, he nodded at him, indicating that he could stay.
It wasn't that he believed Zhao Yiming was trustworthy, but the way she looked at Tian An clearly indicated that she knew something. Since Tian An knew, Zhao Yiming should also know, so it didn't matter whether he listened or not.
Tian Mingwu took a deep breath and said, "Your mother's surname is An, and her full name is An Wan. Your name was chosen by your mother. It is a combination of my name and hers. It also means that she hopes you will have a peaceful life."
