Guan Wenru was placed in a quiet private ward.
The constant examinations and moving around left her exhausted, and she took another short nap.
The next morning, the sky outside the window was beginning to lighten.
Guan Wenru slowly woke up again.
This time, my consciousness felt much clearer than before, and the dryness in my throat was particularly noticeable.
He Yanzhi, who was standing by, immediately noticed and quickly dipped a cotton swab in warm water to carefully moisten her lips.
Guan Wenru looked at his face so close to hers. Five years had etched fine lines around his eyes, but the love in his eyes had never changed.
She tried to move her lips and make a sound.
A faint, extremely hoarse breath sound came from his throat.
He Yanzhi abruptly stopped, his heart leaping into his throat as he nervously watched her.
Guan Wenru did not give up. She took a deep breath, concentrated all her will and strength, and finally, a faint but clear name escaped from her dry throat, "...Yan...Zhi..."
Her voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible, like a broken bellows, but it was like the most beautiful celestial music in the world, hitting He Yanzhi's ears precisely!
Overwhelmed with joy once again, He Yanzhi gripped her hand tightly, his voice trembling with excitement, his eyes instantly reddening, "I'm here! Wenru, I'm here! I've always been here!"
Hearing his response, Guan Wenru seemed somewhat relieved.
She paused for a moment, gathering her strength, and slowly turned her gaze to the other relatives by the bedside who were watching her anxiously.
She looked at her three grown sons and tried her best to pronounce their names one by one:
“Yi…”
“Qi…”
"Victory..."
Although it was just a single word, it made the three children burst into tears instantly!
“Mom! I’m here!” He Yi replied, his voice choked with emotion.
"Mom! It's me, He Qi!" He Qi wiped away his tears forcefully.
"Mom! You can talk now!" He Sheng felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
Finally, Guan Wenru's gaze softened as she looked at her parents, whose faces were already streaked with tears, her voice still weak, "...Dad...Mom..."
"Hey! Hey! Dad's here! Good boy! Good boy!"
Guan Yuanxiu was moved to tears, responding repeatedly, his hands trembling with emotion.
"Wenru... my dear Wenru..." Qin Yue sobbed uncontrollably, rushed to the bedside, and carefully hugged her daughter, her shoulders trembling with emotion.
The ward was once again filled with tears of joy and excitement.
But these tears are no longer tears of despair, but tears of hopeful rebirth.
He Yanzhi held his wife's hand tightly, pressing the back of her hand against his cheek, feeling her faint warmth and real presence.
He knew that the long winter was finally over, and their spring had truly arrived.
Although the road to recovery may be long, once she wakes up and can speak, they can take care of the rest together.
...
But in fact, the road to recovery is not long at all, since Guan Wenru's physical functions are fine.
After several days of observation and treatment at the hospital, Guan Wenru's health improved day by day.
From initially only being able to utter single syllables, to being able to speak short sentences haltingly, from needing assistance to sit up, to being able to slowly stand on their own and walk slowly around the ward…
Her recovery was so fast that even the doctors were amazed, attributing it to her strong willpower and excellent physical condition.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, Director Liu announced with a smile, "The recovery is excellent! You can go home to rest and recuperate. Just come back regularly for check-ups and rehabilitation training. Congratulations, Director Guan and Commander He!"
He Yanzhi drove Guan Wenru and the three excited children home himself.
Guan Yuanxiu and Qin Yue followed in another car.
The car slowly came to a stop in front of the familiar, elegant, and tranquil courtyard house.
He Yanzhi got out of the car first, and then carefully helped Guan Wen get out of the car.
The triplets had already jumped out of the car and were eager to help.
"Mom, slow down!"
"The threshold! Mom, watch out for the threshold!"
"Grandma said she made you some soup!"
Guan Wenru stood at the door, looking at her familiar and welcoming home with its blue bricks and gray tiles. The old jujube tree in the yard had lost all its leaves, but its branches still stretched vigorously toward the blue sky.
The sunlight streamed into the courtyard, making it feel warm and cozy.
Her eyebrows unconsciously curved upwards, and a truly relaxed and joyful smile appeared on her lips.
He Yanzhi squeezed her hand, his eyes tender, "We're home."
In the evening, Qin Yue stewed a nourishing soup, and the family ate their first real reunion dinner in five years.
Although Guan Wenru ate very slowly, the atmosphere was warm and lively.
In the dead of night, the triplets were urged to go to sleep by their grandparents.
In the east wing, Guan Wenru, having finished washing up, leaned against the headboard. Although she was still thin, her complexion was much rosier than before, and her eyes had regained their former sparkle.
After He Yanzhi finished getting ready, he got into bed and, as usual, reached out his arm to carefully pull her into his embrace, letting her lean against his chest.
Feeling the real, warm body in his arms and listening to her steady breathing, He Yanzhi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for five years, finally settled down completely at this moment.
He gently rested his chin on the top of her head, his voice low and tinged with a barely perceptible lingering fear, "Wenru..."
"Um?"
"Don't scare me like that again..."
His arms tightened a little, his voice filled with the preciousness of something lost and found again, "Not even once! I really... can't take it a second time."
Guan Wenru turned around in his arms, looked up at him, and gently stroked the stubble on his chin, her eyes filled with guilt and love.
