Ye Wan, Lu Changchuan and Qin Chizhou take care of Diandian.

Time passes by every second.

24 hours pass in a flash.

However, Gu Qichen showed no sign of waking up.

The wavy line on the instrument beside the bed became increasingly fainter.

"Gu Qichen, it must be God punishing me!"

The man was covered in wounds, with white gauze wrapped from head to toe, not a single piece of exposed skin.

Star couldn't even hold his hand. "When I left the capital that year, I even thought maliciously, it would be great if you had an accident."

"If something unexpected happens, your mother won't force you to go on blind dates, and those wealthy ladies will avoid you. I'll have a reason to stay by your side and take care of you, and we... can spend every day together."

They say a word comes true.

But she didn't say it out loud, she just thought about it in her mind.

Even so, it was just an absurd idea, and I threw it out of my mind without even thinking about it.

But the cruel reality still happened.

"It must be like this. I had evil thoughts, so God punished me by doing this!"

"I know I was wrong... Gu Qichen, please, wake up, okay? I just want you to be fine!"

Tears streamed down Star's face as she looked at the unconscious Gu Qichen. She felt so heartbroken that she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Outside the ward, everyone had red eyes.

24 hours.

48 hours.

72 hours passed and Gu Qichen still didn't wake up.

Dr. Steven brought a group of experts to see the patient one after another, but they were helpless.

It seemed that Gu Qichen was not injured and unconscious, but was tired and sleepy.

When Steven said that it might be like this in the future, there was silence inside and outside the ward.

Everyone knows what this means.

Star's face quickly recovered after a brief moment of paleness. "Whether it's punishment or fulfillment, even if he still has a breath, he is still my man!"

After that day, the intensive care unit seemed to have become Star's home.

Star made a list and asked Qin Chizhou to help her buy it.

According to the plan, Gu Qichen would stay in Canal for another week. If everything was stable, he would charter a plane back to Ireland a week later.

"If this is his and my fate, I accept it!"

Star said so.

The originally lifeless intensive care unit seemed to have turned into a villa in Ireland, and Star arranged it like a home.

Next to the hospital bed is Diandian’s baby crib.

When Dian Dian goes to sleep, Star will chat with Gu Qichen, or quietly hold the tablet and do design.

Occasionally, when Gu Qichen's IV drip finished, Star would skillfully replace it with a new bottle for him.

When Diandian wakes up, is hungry, pees or has a bowel movement, Star prepares milk powder and changes diapers, just like when they were at home in Ireland.

New Year’s Eve is here in a blink of an eye.

According to Star, if Gu Qichen didn't wake up for 72 hours, Lu Changchuan and others wouldn't have to stay here with her, and everything would be left to her.

Lu Changchuan, Ye Wan and Qin Chizhou can all go back to the imperial capital, just in time to celebrate New Year's Eve with their families.

But no one left.

Not only that, Ai Xiaomi is here.

Zhai Jiangcheng also came with his fiancée Chu Yunyin.

Compared to last year's New Year's Eve, there are Ai Xiaomi and Chu Yunyin, and three more pairs of lovers.

There is no Spring Festival in Kadier, but Lu Changchuan still prepared a grand fireworks display.

A group of people were in the ward, eating melon seeds, peanuts and fruit platters and watching the lively Spring Festival Gala.

At exactly midnight, a rumbling sound was heard from afar, and the entire night sky was lit up by brilliant fireworks.

The door of the ward opened. Lu Changchuan held Ye Wan's arm, Qin Chizhou hugged Ai Xiaomi, and Zhai Jiangcheng held Chu Yunyin's hand. A group of people walked to the window in the corridor to enjoy the fireworks feast together to welcome the new year and bid farewell to the old.

"Gu Qichen, another year has passed..."

One hand held Gu Qichen's hand wrapped in white gauze.

One hand unconsciously patted his daughter who was sleeping soundly beside him.

Star looked back at the colorful fireworks outside the window and smiled softly: "With you and my baby, this is the happiest Spring Festival I've ever had!"

When his hand was held, Star stiffened and turned slowly, meeting those eyes that reflected excitement and joy.
