Chapter 42
Ever since Zhuang Yun's mental condition improved, she often wanted to go out for a walk. He Jin would not stop her and sent a bodyguard and Aunt Yang to go out with her.
That day, Zhuang Yun went to the central shopping mall. When she was about to go home, her bodyguard first went to the underground garage to drive the car. She found that her bag was left in the coffee shop where she had just rested, not far from the entrance of the shopping mall, so she asked Aunt Yang to pick it up.
In just three minutes of being alone, Zhuang Yun was caught off guard and forcibly taken into a car by a group of people who suddenly arrived and didn't even care about the people passing by the door.
Because he was frightened and the medicine was in his bag, his emotional instability led to sudden mental disorder.
She hasn't been sick for a long time.
Afterwards, she saw with her own eyes that Jiang Xu blocked a bullet for her and fell in front of her. No normal person could bear such a scene, not to mention that Zhuang Yun was already in an emotionally unstable state at the time.
After that, Zhuang Yun cried all day long, lost her appetite, and couldn't sleep at night. She looked at He Jin and wanted to say something but couldn't say any logical words. The situation was very bad.
He Jin had no choice but to send Zhuang Yun back to the sanatorium that made her feel at ease. The familiar people and scenes were of great help to her improvement in condition. Moreover, she was being taken care of by familiar people, which made him feel more at ease. He would set aside a fixed time every afternoon to go there to see if Zhuang Yun's condition would improve.
…
A week passed.
The attending physician said that Jiang Xu's wound was recovering well and the situation was very optimistic. The daily visiting time was increased from fifteen minutes at the beginning to one hour now.
But Yu Jin didn't go in during the visiting hours. She said to He Jin, "A Xu must want you to stay with her longer. Talk to her more. She definitely won't want to leave you alone."
Yu Jin knew that Jiang Xu was like her father and would give everything for the people she loved, including herself.
Once you decide, it’s for life.
She also knew that the two children had a deep affection for each other.
For five consecutive nights, He Jin stayed at the door of the intensive care unit without closing his eyes, and she saw it all.
She didn't blame He Jin, because these were not things they could decide. Every position had a corresponding price to pay, and they all had to fight for their lives.
I have made the choice and endured the consequences. As long as I am still alive, that is enough.
There will always be a day when all the hard work will pay off.
They were supposed to grow freely and become each other's most dazzling existence.
………
The lights in the intensive care unit were not very bright, and the sounds of various instruments were rhythmic and the dim lights were flashing.
He Jin sat in front of the bed, holding Jiang Xu in his hands. Even through his gloves, he could feel her hands were a little cold. He restored some warmth and gently rested his head against hers.
Only at this time could He Jin feel at ease, close his eyes, and feel the heartbeat and pulse of the person in front of him until they were synchronized with hers.
About twenty minutes later, He Jin was taking a light nap when he felt a slight touch on his forehead through the isolation suit. It was just a slight touch, and his whole body froze for a moment, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He suddenly looked up, but the person on the bed didn't open his eyes or make any other movements, as if nothing had happened.
He Jin was silent for a few seconds before pressing the bell beside him. The bell rang very urgently, which scared all the attending doctors. They immediately rushed to the intensive care unit in a hurry, not daring to breathe.
"I just moved my hand." He Jin was still holding Jiang Xu's hand. His tone was light, but he looked at Jiang Xu with eagerness.
"..." The three doctors who thought they would face a difficult rescue were stunned, and their faces showed a rare dull expression. After they recovered, they silently worried for themselves.
Finally, the older neurosurgeon in the middle coughed lightly and said, "Mr. He, this is normal. Miss Jiang is not in a complete vegetative state. She has some weak perception and reaction to the outside world, which means that Miss Jiang subconsciously wants to wake up. You don't have to worry too much. Miss Jiang originally had good physical fitness and is in very good condition now. I believe she will wake up soon."
"How long?" He Jin finally looked up at him.
"This..." The neurosurgeon wanted to continue comforting him, but was choked again. Every time he met Mr. He's calm yet sharp eyes, he always felt that he would lose his job if he said something wrong. He was about to break down.
"That's... that's hard to say, but Miss Jiang will definitely want to wake up soon with you by her side." The neurosurgeon's eyes lit up as he thought of an excuse. He then added, "Today's situation is very good! So Mr. He, don't worry too much! You can talk to her more and share some happy memories."
The tone is high and confident.
"Well, thank you. You can go now. There are 28 minutes and 54 seconds left in the visiting time." He Jin nodded, retracted his gaze, and continued to look at the person on the bed.
Three doctors: ...So polite, so impressive, come on, let’s do as you say.
The three surgical masters came in a hurry and left quietly, not daring to complain, because there was a big Buddha statue inside.
The previous successful operation led to a batch of the latest medical equipment being donated directly to the hospital, and the director was so happy.
They also wished they could stare at the ICU for twenty-five hours every day, hoping that Miss Jiang would wake up soon so that they wouldn't have to worry about receiving summons every day. And who knows, if the boss is in a good mood, they might get a promotion and a raise.
The third day after a week.
Yu Jin received a call from the First Hospital of S City. Jiang Yuanshan had woken up, so she took Jiang You back to S City that day.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Yuanshan had already undergone a series of examinations and buffer recovery. Yu Jin took Jiang You's hand and pushed the door open. Seeing Jiang Yuanshan leaning on the bed and smiling at them, her eyes immediately turned red. She felt as if she was dreaming. Regardless of her usual calm and elegant demeanor, she trotted down to the bed and couldn't stop crying.
Compared to Yu Jin, Jiang You was calmer. He climbed onto the bed with his short legs, hugged his father's legs, and comforted his mother together with his father.
"Don't cry, Ajin." Jiang Yuanshan reached out and wiped away the tears from Yu Jin's face, his eyes full of heartache.
Yu Jin hit Jiang Yuanshan's arm twice with very light force. A lot of emotions such as grievance, surprise, and fear were all mixed together and were tolerated by Jiang Yuanshan.
Only in front of him did she express her emotions like a girl.
Jiang Yuanshan patted their backs to comfort them. Seeing no one else coming in, he asked, "Where's Xiaoxu?"
Hearing this, Yu Jin's tears, which had been about to be held back, burst out again. Little Jiang You also pursed his lips and burst into tears with a "wow".
Jiang Yuanshan looked at the mother and daughter hugging and crying in front of him, and guessed that something might have happened to Jiang Xu, and his eyes darkened.
Yu Jin told them one by one what Jiang Xu had done in the past year and why she was now unconscious after being shot. Even though Jiang Yuanshan looked calm on the surface, he was worried in his heart because of their most beloved daughter.
Jiang Yuanshan originally wanted to get out of bed and fly to L City immediately, but was stopped by the doctor. After all, he was old and his health was not so good. He recovered slowly and he couldn't move his hands and feet when he wanted to get out of bed.
In the end, she didn't leave and could only recover for a few more days. Yu Jin stayed with her, and He Jin was looking after Jiang Xu. She would call once a day to ask about her situation, although she only said a few identical words every day.
He Jin has been running between the hospital and the sanatorium recently and has not been to the company. Only his assistant sometimes comes to the hospital to deliver some documents that must be handled by He Jin. The rest of the time, he sits on the bench where he has been for who knows how long, staring at the small window on the door of the intensive care unit, holding a cigarette in his hand that has never been lit, still a thin Huanghelou cigarette, which has never changed.
He didn't dare leave for a long time because he was afraid that Jiang Xu would wake up and not see him.
Xu Zhixin had come several times, and every time he saw He Jin, he would sit on the bench in the same posture for an unknown amount of time, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He seemed to be dressed neatly and had a calm expression every day, but he could still sense the emptiness and fatigue in He Jin's eyes that could hardly be concealed.
He only closed his eyes for seven or eight hours for several days and nights, averaging less than two hours of sleep a day and never having a proper meal. He really thought he was a man of iron. He was afraid that before Jiang Xu woke up, He Jin would not be able to hold on and would send himself to the ward.
After He Jin made arrangements, the court had already handled all the cases. He Wangjiang was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption and bribery, and his political rights were deprived for life.
He Yu was sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years for smuggling drugs and illegally kidnapping others. He Jin would not let him go even after serving his sentence.
Xu Zhongyuan and Xu Qinqin were charged with attempted murder and, with He Jin's help, were sentenced to life imprisonment.
After hearing the verdict, Yu Wan originally wanted to commit suicide, but as He Jin expected, she did not die and was forcibly sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
The next day, when He Jin entered the intensive care unit, he told Jiang Xu all these things, telling her that those who had prevented them from being together had received the punishment they deserved, and that no one would stop them from going forward in the future.
He looked at the person lying on the bed with some anticipation, hoping that she would react, but there was no reaction. His hand was still lukewarm. He wanted to warm it up, but it returned to its original temperature in an instant.
He had never felt that waiting was so long and difficult.
When he arrived at the He family, his goal was very clear. He originally had no ideas about the He family, but those people repeatedly offended his bottom line. He secretly made preparations and waited for three years until the situation was completely in his hands.
During the year and a half they were apart, he waited for his chance, waiting for those who were doing evil to show their tracks and then catching them all in one fell swoop.
There is always hope when waiting, but now it seems that all of it has disappeared.
But now, after only ten days, he could hardly hold on any longer, and the last bit of space in his heart seemed to be slipping away bit by bit.
Although the situation is improving, there will be many uncertainties as long as he is still lying in bed. He Jin can't help but think about it, nor does he dare to think about it. Life is fragile, and he can't afford to take the risk.
Ah Xu, wake up quickly.
I miss you so much.
