Being young, she had a good constitution. In addition, the Zhen family had carefully pampered her over the years, so Zhen Tian gradually regained consciousness after the anesthesia wore off.
However, such a major surgery requires a significant dose of anesthesia. The lingering effects caused Zhen Tian to wake up and fall asleep repeatedly.
It was done several times over.
The first few times they were sober, they didn't have a chance to chat with Zhen Tian for more than a few words.
When I woke up again, it was almost dawn.
In the ward, Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao were fast asleep on the makeshift cot. Huo Qingming leaned against the sofa, resting with his eyes closed.
Only Ji Yu stayed by Zhen Tian's side.
He received another injection that evening, and this time the aches and pains he had from his severe cold were significantly reduced.
However, due to a hand infection, he later developed a low-grade fever.
He lay on the edge of the bed, his head feeling a little dizzy from the IV drip.
Zhen Tian moved slightly, which immediately woke Ji Yuzhi up.
"Sweetie..." he leaned in and whispered in her ear.
"Only one..."
Before she even opened her eyes, a faint sound escaped from her throat.
"I'm here." His palm had just been bandaged and was wrapped in gauze, making it impossible for him to properly touch her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Zhen Tian's vision was completely dark, with only a faint light.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Her voice was trembling, and there was a hint of crying in her tone: "Zhizhi, am I blind?"
She thought of the blurry vision she had before she fainted. Her lips twitched with distress, unable to accept it.
"Blinded? How could this be?" Ji Yuzhi panicked as well: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me quickly!"
The doctor didn't say that Sweetie's eyes would have any problems.
Could it be that he was injured somewhere but it wasn't discovered?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhen Tian said aggrievedly, "I can't see anymore, sob sob sob. Everything is black, except for a tiny bit of light."
"Light?" Ji Yu was taken aback. His hand reacted faster than his brain, and he immediately reached out and turned on the light switch in the ward.
The sudden light stung Zhen Tian's eyes, causing her to close them immediately.
After recovering and opening her eyes again, she found that she could see.
"I can see again."
Zhen Tian said blankly.
"You scared me to death." Ji Yuzhi was both amused and exasperated. He couldn't stand the extreme emotional swings. "The lights were off and everyone was asleep."
"Turn off the lights..."
Zhen Tian seemed to still be affected by the anesthesia. Since waking up, her tone of voice had been much slower than usual, and her reaction time was even slower.
"Yes, with the lights off."
“It’s evening now…” Zhen Tian nodded slowly: “How long have I been asleep?”
"Not long ago." The person was rescued at noon, so it hasn't even been 24 hours yet.
"Only one..."
"Yes, I'm here."
"Don't you love me anymore?"
Ji Yu was taken aback and asked blankly, "Why do you say that?"
"You weren't excited when you saw I was awake, and you didn't touch me or kiss me." Zhen Tian blinked her big eyes and looked at him with the purest gaze, a gaze so clear that it was enough to bury any evil thoughts in one's mind.
He smiled slightly and held out his hand for her to see: "It's not that I don't love you. It's that I'm hurt."
"I'll make it up to you with kisses." Ji Yuzhi stood up and kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips.
He lingered on her lips for a moment, then kissed her deeply, unlike the gentle kisses on her forehead and nose. This kiss released all his wicked thoughts, all the wicked thoughts he had been waiting for her to come to her senses.
"Your hand?" Zhen Tian blinked slowly. "What happened to your hand... is it injured?"
"It's nothing," the man said casually. "It's just a superficial wound; it'll heal quickly."
"Oh." Zhen Tian's thoughts were not enough to sustain her further consideration.
Her head started to feel dizzy again.
They were probably too tired, because the commotion didn't wake Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao at all.
On the contrary, Huo Qingming, who was on the sofa, woke up as soon as Zhen Tian woke up.
He heard the conversation between the two people over there.
However, unlike the two sleeping girls, he wasn't interested in gossip. Knowing that Zhen Tian was awake, he simply changed his position and closed his eyes again.
"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."
Ji Yuzhi nudged her cheek with his, then sat back down in his chair.
"Okay. You'll stay with me."
"Yes, I'll always be with you."
Zhen Tian fell asleep again.
Ji Yuzhi watched her until dawn before finally lying down to sleep for a while.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao slept for more than 12 hours and woke up feeling completely refreshed.
Unlike Ye Qingyan, Yang Tao still had many injuries. Therefore, she didn't have as much energy as Ye Qingyan. She simply sat down on the bed and waited for Zhen Tian, who was still sleeping.
As for Ye Qingyan, she had slept enough and had also let go of the burden in her heart.
She is now completely unharmed and feels very relaxed.
Once people relax, they can't help but want to gossip.
When do you think Brother Ji will wake up?
"I don't know," Yang Tao shook her head.
"Why is Sweetie sleeping for so long? We've all slept for 12 hours, Sweetie must have slept for even longer."
Huo Qingming brought in water and that's what he heard.
"She woke up in the middle of the night, chatted with him for a few minutes, and then went back to sleep."
Huo Qingming placed the basin on the cabinet, wrung out a towel, and handed it to Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan casually handed Yang Tao a piece of paper, saying, "Quickly wipe your face."
Then I started to regret it: "I didn't even know Tian Tian woke up. Am I a pig? I slept so soundly."
Yang Tao didn't stand on ceremony. She was all alone now, and since she was on loan, she could only rely on her sisters and brothers-in-law for support. But she wasn't embarrassed at all.
Seeing how readily Ye Qingyan handed it over, Huo Qingming silently wrung out another towel for her.
"You're both exhausted and frightened, it's normal for you to sleep for a long time," Huo Qingming said, trying to make excuses for Ye Qingyan.
Then he reached out towards the starfruit.
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Yang Tao was very accommodating; since she had troubled him, she should give him something in return.
"You're welcome."
Huo Qingming took the bait as expected.
Yang Tao secretly praised herself for her cleverness.
After the two finished washing up, Ji Yuzhi also woke up.
The girl under his command was still unconscious. He glanced around and saw two pairs of eyes staring straight at him.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Yang Tao shook her head and looked away first.
"Brother Ji," Ye Qingyan asked boldly, "I heard Tian Tian woke up last night? How is she? Is she alright?"
"Um."
"Did she say anything that made her feel unwell... or if she needed anything..." Ye Qingyan asked anxiously.
Ji Yuzhi glanced at her.
Ye Qingyan calmed down and realized she had asked the wrong question: "It's alright, it's alright."
She tried to make amends herself.
Huo Qingming couldn't let his girlfriend feel awkward, so he said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."
