"boss……"
"You brat, you're finally awake!"
"Nanxun, wake up..."
Several different voices spoke at the same time, and his consciousness was still somewhat blurred, so he couldn't tell who was who for a moment.
He mustered his strength and finally opened his eyes, glancing around.
Standing before his bed were the old man, Mu Wenya, Ouyang, and Xiao Fang…
"What are you all doing here? How long have I been asleep?"
Seeing that he had finally regained consciousness and seemed to have no lasting effects, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You little bastard, you almost worried me to death! You have no idea, I nearly died because of you!"
The old man spoke first, but his tone was not as strong as usual, and his spirits were not as good as before.
For more than a month, the old man has been worried day and night, and his hair has turned more white than in the past few years.
"Yes, boss, you've been asleep for over a month. If you don't wake up soon, Xiao Fang will follow you to the afterlife..."
As Xiao Fang was speaking, he was glared at by the old man and lowered his head, remaining silent.
Ouyang nodded in agreement and said,
"Old Mu, it's not easy for you to survive. I can heal your physical injuries, but the wounds in your heart..."
"Cough cough..."
The old man suddenly coughed a few times, interrupting Ouyang.
Realizing he had spoken out of turn, Ouyang made a gesture to seal his mouth.
The room suddenly became eerily quiet.
Mu Nanxun frowned and scanned the people in the room.
But everyone who met his gaze quickly lowered their head or pretended to look away.
His heart suddenly sank, a sharp pain gripped his chest, and he didn't even know how to breathe.
A full minute passed before Mu Nanxun's breathing finally returned to normal.
He stared intently at the old man, his slightly pale lips moving as he spoke, each word distinct.
Where is Yi Yi?
Even he himself didn't realize that his voice trembled slightly when he asked that question.
The old man's gaze wavered for a moment. He awkwardly tucked the blanket around his head, then casually glanced at his toes and let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Where is Yi Yi?
Mu Nanxun raised his voice and asked again.
He had a nightmare while he was asleep.
He had never felt that anything was more terrifying than that nightmare!
In his dream, there was a raging fire that almost turned the entire sky red. His Yi Yi was trapped in the fire, helplessly pleading for his help, but he could not get close and could only watch helplessly as she was trapped in the flames.
Xiao Fang hesitated several times before speaking, while the others also pursed their lips and remained silent.
"Xiao Fang, I order you to tell me where Yi Yi is. I need to see her!"
Mu Nanxun suddenly sat up in bed, which aggravated the IV drip that was being administered.
The IV needle pierced deep into his flesh, and fresh blood quickly flowed back along the IV tube.
He yanked the IV drip out of his hand and rushed out of the room.
She's dead!
Mu Nanxun's steps suddenly stopped...
The old man also sighed heavily, walked up to Mu Nanxun, and gently patted his shoulder, as if trying to give him some courage.
"Yi Yi is dead. She was burned to death in the Black Valley. Her body was brought back with you and is now buried in the cemetery. In any case, Yi Yi was a daughter-in-law of the Mu family and deserves to be buried there..."
