Zhou Beichen sat on the bed. He held Shen Nian'an's hand tightly. The woman's face was pale and her lips were chapped and lifeless.
It gradually got dark outside, and the sky was dotted with stars. An hour passed, and Shen Nian'an didn't wake up. Two hours passed, and Shen Nian'an still didn't wake up.
The father and daughter sat around the bed. This was the only time in all these years that they spoke so little.
During this period, Zhou Zhaonuan's eyes were always red, and her small hand grasped Shen Nian'an's big hand, not letting go for a moment, staring intently at her unconscious mother on the bed.
Mother was injured because of her. Nothing must happen to mother. Absolutely nothing must happen to mother.
Glancing at Zhou Zhaonuan, as if thinking of something, Zhou Beichen spoke gently.
"Nuannuan, it's too late. It will be dawn in a few hours. Go to sleep. I'll stay here with your mother."
"I don't want to. I want to wait for mother to wake up."
Zhou Zhaonuan replied without even raising her head. Zhou Beichen frowned, looked her up and down, and suddenly his tone became cold.
"Zhou Zhaonuan, I'm not kidding you. Go to sleep quickly and don't force me to do anything."
As an emperor, he is born with the pressure of power. When he is really angry, it is no joke. Just a look can make people feel scared.
Her body trembled violently, and Zhou Zhaonuan looked at Zhou Beichen with eyes full of disbelief. The next moment, she knelt on the ground, her voice almost pleading.
"Daddy, I know you're worried about me, but Nuannuan is scared. Nuannuan is really scared. Nuannuan begs you, please, when Mommy wakes up, I will go to sleep and sleep well. But now, Nuannuan begs you, please let Nuannuan stay here with Mommy. If she doesn't wake up, Nuannuan's heart feels like it's been cut by a knife. It's so uncomfortable. If you force Nuannuan to sleep, she won't be able to sleep."
"Mom was injured because of me. I don't want her to not even be able to see her daughter when she wakes up. I want her to know that the daughter she tried so hard to protect is fine."
Zhou Beichen glanced at her and pulled her up unhappily, "The ground is cold, why are you kneeling?"
Zhou Zhaonuanfu knelt on the ground again, shook her head, and looked at him with a pleading face, as if she would kneel forever as long as he didn't agree.
Zhou Beichen stared at her for a long time, and finally closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he felt indescribably sad.
Of course, he didn't pull her up again.
"Nuannuan, since you know your mother is worried about you, why don't you listen? You want her to see when she wakes up that the daughter she tried so hard to protect is not taking care of herself. You are still young and growing up. You can't stay up all night. Tomorrow, you won't be able to bear it. I believe that if your mother wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't see you guarding her, she will be happier. Be obedient and go back to sleep now. How about you replace me tomorrow morning?"
Nuannuan's mouth pursed, and finally, she stood up and walked out, wiping her tears.
Zhou Beichen just looked at her without saying a word. His daughter would grow up eventually, and one day, she would fly to a farther sky like a bird in its nest. He and Shen Nian'an could not follow her forever.
The body is a person's capital. If you ruin your body, your life will be over.
Time ticked by through her fingertips, and Shen Nian'an seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, there was a father and a mother. In the dream, she was still in modern times, living a life where everyone was equal. She only felt surrounded by happiness, and her whole body was warm.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the surrounding situation changed again and again. Her parents were gone, her best friend was gone, and she was back to the cold and deserted cold palace. The cold wind made her unable to open her eyes.
Until two pink and tender chubby babies appeared in front of her, she suddenly remembered something, and beads of sweat kept rising on her forehead. Shen Nian'an was like a dying fish, trying desperately to open her eyes, but it seemed as if there was a jack pressing on her eyelids, and she was powerless.
Zhou Beichen was originally stroking his forehead with his hand, when he suddenly saw Shen Nian'an's eyelids move. He glanced out the window and saw that the eastern sky was already turning pale. It was daybreak and it was time for everyone to wake up.
At this time, five hours had passed. Looking at the person who was about to wake up on the bed, Zhou Beichen's heartbeat slowed down. She gently held Shen Nian'an's hand and said emotional words.
"An An, wake up, wake up quickly, our two children haven't grown up yet, and the promise I made to you hasn't been fulfilled yet, you can't just fall asleep like this, if you really fall asleep like this, Shen Nian'an, remember, I will never forgive you."
The person on the bed still hadn't woken up, only his eyelashes moved slightly. For a moment, Zhou Beichen's heart sank to the bottom, and then in an instant, he was full of energy as if he had taken chicken blood.
"An'an, didn't you tell me before that if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather? If you really dare to leave, I really can't guarantee that I will be able to treat those two children the same as before. After I remarry, Nuannuan and Hanhan will really have a stepmother, a stepmother they will never be able to get rid of for the rest of their lives."
If being soft doesn't work, Shen Nian'an, then I will stimulate you. In this life, the most important things to you are these two children.
Shen Nian'an was in a daze. When she heard this, she was in a fog and was in a white mist. She tried hard to open her eyes, but suddenly, her lifeless eyes opened and met Zhou Beichen's surprised eyes.
She was too weak to raise her hand and twitched the corner of her mouth. Zhou Beichen hurriedly grasped her hand in his palm and spoke as if it were a treasure.
"An An, you're awake now. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Oh, right, the doctor just brought the medicine. He said you need to drink it as soon as you wake up. Keep an eye on your heart pulse. I'll get it for you."
He stood up to leave. Shen Nian'an wanted to keep him, but when she moved slightly, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Zhou Beichen's eyes darkened, and he became ruthless in his heart. Those people must be investigated, and investigated severely.
Zhou Beichen hurriedly turned back and looked at Shen Nian'an with a tender gaze.
He was very considerate. "An An, I won't leave. I'll go get you some medicine. After you drink it, I'll see if there's any porridge or something in the kitchen of this inn. I'll get you some."
Shen Nian'an opened her mouth and swallowed back the words she wanted to curse. Never mind. This guy probably said that just to provoke her.
Zhou Beichen nodded weakly and was about to stand up when a furry head suddenly came forward.
As soon as she came in, she saw that her mother had woken up. The little girl was full of excitement and came over happily with the medicine bowl. After taking a spoonful, she did not forget to blow it to her mouth. She pushed Zhou Beichen aside and carefully brought the medicine to Shen Nian'an's mouth.
