Chapter 591: Regret Only After Losing
"Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"The grief was so intense, and his body was already weak. He had cried for so long and exhausted all his energy, so he fainted. There is nothing else seriously wrong with him. The patient needs to rest and avoid any further stimulation in the near future."
…
"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Why hasn't she woken up in such a long time?"
"This phenomenon is indeed a bit strange. Examination results show that the patient's body and organs are in good condition. It may be that the patient has suffered a short-term mental and emotional trauma, and the patient's subconscious mind has chosen to shut down and hypnotize himself, so the patient is unwilling to wake up."
…
Su Man felt like she was trapped in darkness.
The sounds around seemed to come from far away.
She could hear, but she couldn't touch or see.
She couldn't break free from the black fog.
Beyond the black fog, there seemed to be an indestructible wall, and outside was the real world.
But she couldn't break out of the darkness and couldn't see the way forward; she no longer had the strength to chisel open the wall.
Su Man allowed herself to stay in the darkness.
Sleep, breathe, and daydream.
Occasionally, she could hear some external sounds, such as the voice of Su Changhai talking with the doctor, the voice of Song Yi when he came to see her, and even the familiar nagging voice of Ye Ling.
Occasionally, she could hear Su Changhai and Bai Lan coming to see her together, and then arguing in her ward. After arguing for a while, they returned to silence, and the only sounds in the room were their sighs.
Later, more people came to visit.
Su Man didn't want to pay any attention.
She found it boring.
One day, a soft and juicy little glutinous rice dumpling slept beside her.
The glutinous rice dumpling stretched out its chubby little hands, pinched her arms, and touched her cheeks.
He babbled and began to speak a complete sentence.
That's her beanie.
Su Man moved her fingers, and her eyeballs under her eyelids trembled and rolled violently. She had the urge to go out and take a look.
But no matter how she moved her hands and feet, she couldn't move.
Doudou was taken away.
Su Man felt it was boring again.
After a few days and nights of stalemate, Su Man once again felt that something had broken into her world, passed through the wall, and came to find her.
Last time it was Doudou.
This time, it’s not like Doudou.
It doesn’t have the soft milky aroma of Doudou, nor the texture of glutinous rice balls.
It was a breeze that lifted the curtains of the house.
Su Man was clearly immersed in the deepest part of her subconscious, but she could feel that in the real world, it was night, late at night when everyone was asleep.
Someone was sitting by her bed.
Like many times before.
The man just sat quietly beside the bed and looked at her, sometimes stretching out his fingers, with a touch of coolness on his fingertips, passing over her brow bone, nose, and lips.
"You didn't listen. Didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back?"
It’s Xiao Beisheng!
In an instant, Su Man became aware of something. She could smell Xiao Beisheng's scent, his temperature, and the color of his voice...
Su Man suddenly opened her eyes!
She escaped from the dark chaos, and the walls around her collapsed.
The instruments around him began to make sharp and crazy noises, which made Su Man's head vibrate.
Within two minutes, the door of Su Man's room was opened.
“The patient is awake—!”
"Quick, notify the boss!"
After a while, a doctor came and opened Suman's eyelids to perform various examinations on her. Another doctor asked her if she could speak.
Su Man cooperated with all of them.
Su Changhai hurried over, still wearing his pajamas.
Bai Lan also rushed over. There seemed to be a gap between Bai Lan and Su Changhai, but at this moment, because they both cared about the same person, they didn't care about the awkwardness between them.
"Manman, you're awake, thank God." Bai Lan sat down beside Su Man's bed, took Su Man's hand, his eyes full of fatigue and worry.
Su Changhai stood beside the bed, looking at Su Man with the same worried look.
"It's good that you woke up," he said.
The doctor sighed: "The patient is very strong."
But Su Man knew that it was not because she was strong and woke up on her own. Instead, it was Xiao Beisheng who chiseled open the wall for her and dispelled the haze for her.
The medical staff gave Suman another simple examination, and the doctor said that she was fine. After another night of observation, the devices connected to her could be removed.
Suman recognized her surroundings.
This is not in the hospital, nor in the room in Bailan Manor.
But at his own home in Manyuan.
"During this period, has Sister Ye Ling come to see me with Doudou in her arms?"
"Yeah, you know?"
“I seem to hear it in my dreams.”
"The doctor also said that we should talk to you more often to stimulate your consciousness. Who knows, maybe you'll wake up one day."
Su Man was stunned.
So, the touch, temperature, and voice of Xiao Beisheng that she felt in her dream were all real?
She turned to Bai Lan in shock, "Xiao Beisheng...Xiao Beisheng also came to see me."
Bai Lan looked at her, a wave of grief washed over him before he finally spoke the truth he hadn't the heart to say: "Manman, I know you're sad and can't accept it, but Xiao Beisheng is gone. However, you still have all of us, so many people who love you and care about you."
"No, I seem to really feel him..."
Bai Lan said: "Maybe he really came back to see you."
What Su Man said was that Xiao Beisheng was still alive and a living person.
But Bai Lan misunderstood Su Man's meaning, thinking it was about gods, ghosts, and souls.
"Then can you tell mom what he said when he came to see you?"
Su Man did not tell Bai Lan what Xiao Beisheng said in her dream, but shook her head: "He didn't say anything."
Bai Lan gently stroked her hair and said, "Recently, I've been dreaming about the past. I also keep dreaming about Eleven and Junfeng. They're still by my side like before."
"Once, I dreamed that Eleven came to me, and she could actually speak. I praised her, saying that her original voice was so beautiful, and she smiled shyly. She also told me that she came to say goodbye to me..." Bai Lan choked up when he said this.
Su Man was shocked and asked, "Where are they?"
"The base exploded and the entire underground collapsed." Bai Lan shook his head, his eyes red. "They...didn't make it out."
"Mom understands how you feel. You've lost someone very important to you, and I've also lost someone who loves me very much. Eleven and Junfeng have been with me for a long time. Eleven has been with me longer than Junfeng. When she was only as tall as my waist, she started following me everywhere. For more than ten years, I've been looking for my daughter, wallowing in the sorrow of the past, thinking only of revenge, ignoring the people around me, and failing to show her much care. However, Eleven has silently regarded me as her own mother in her heart." Bai Lan turned around to wipe her tears, and when she turned back, her expression had returned to its stoic state. "After all, it's only after losing something that one begins to realize how much they have missed before."
