On a private island
The man sitting on the sofa in the villa's living room tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, listening intently to his subordinate's report.
"Alright, you can go now."
The secretary left with the documents.
"Where is she?" The butler knew who the master was referring to and stepped forward.
"Sir, that young lady still hasn't woken up." He was also puzzled; so many days had passed, why hadn't she woken up yet? He had been truly shocked when he saw the young lady being carried back by the gentleman, covered in injuries.
The man never brings women home, especially not to his private island.
But this time, not only did she bring someone, but she also brought a woman covered in injuries. I couldn't help but repeatedly suspect their relationship, and various versions of what happened between them flashed through my mind.
Upon hearing this, the gentleman got up and strode upstairs.
Its tall and imposing figure, illuminated by the sunlight, exuded an irresistible charm, yet remained unapproachable.
A large group of hands appeared, and the door was opened.
The on-duty doctor stood by the bedside, shaking his head helplessly. With such severe injuries, even if the patient were saved in time, he probably wouldn't survive.
The gentleman listened calmly and then gestured for them to leave.
Looking at that pale and weak little face, he slowly reached out to support it.
The touch was icy cold, and his handsome brows were furrowed.
"Someone come here."
"gentlemen."
What the man said next completely shocked them.
"Bring a basin of hot water."
Uh, what does their boss need hot water for?
That girl didn't have a cold or anything...
When she arrived, the gentleman gently and carefully wiped her clean. He remembered that she was a very clean girl.
When we brought her back, she was covered in injuries, and her will to survive was surprisingly weak.
He was thankful that his doctor wasn't incompetent; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Goddess, please wake up soon and we can bicker a bit, wouldn't that be wonderful...
In the days that followed, the woman in bed remained unchanged, which greatly worried them all.
Ever since visiting their mother's grave, the two children have spent some time there every day.
The mother who lies buried underground must be very lonely. As her children, they should visit her from time to time.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Ji Han'er squatted down and hugged her mother's tombstone with both hands.
Mom, my brother and I miss you so much. I'm sure you love us too, right?
This is the mother who gave her life, a debt of gratitude she owes her for a lifetime.
The boy standing against the light had clear, bright eyes. His white shirt accentuated his slender figure, making him appear so upright.
The boy vowed in his heart: Mom, I will definitely take good care of my sister, don't worry.
Ji Chen bowed deeply.
The woman's spirit drifted away, gazing at the cemetery before her. She wondered, where was she? Why had she come to a cemetery?
She continued to drift and drift until she saw that it was her tombstone, and she froze for a moment.
She saw the two children ahead. Wait, why did those two children seem so familiar? It must be her eyes playing tricks on her.
When I looked up again, the figures of the young man and woman in front of me were gradually disappearing into the distance...
A gentle breeze wafted by, causing the pale purple French windows to sway in the wind. The woman, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed for many days, slowly opened her eyes.
The sky-blue ceiling and the surrounding walls are also sky-blue; it's quite beautiful.
Phew... what's wrong with her?
Suddenly, an unbelievable thought slipped into my mind: Could it be that he's not dead?
The scenes before the accident flashed before her eyes like rolling waves. She remembered jumping into the sea and the merciless gunshots ringing out all around her.
My thoughts drifted away when an inappropriate knocking sounded at the door, so I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The footsteps grew closer; the leader was probably a male doctor, followed by female nurses, and they reeked of disinfectant…
After a series of examinations, the doctor frowned slightly, puzzled... Everything was normal, so why didn't he wake up?
"Dr. Lian... do you think... she'll wake up?"
As expected, she was right, but why are there doctors and nurses? This doesn't look like a hospital ward.
What went wrong?
Just as she was wondering, a sudden footstep came from outside the door.
The footsteps were steady and light, giving a sense of ease... but she still guessed that they were a man's feet.
"Still not awake?" How many days has it been?
The doctor quickly replied, "Sir, Miss Shen may have been at sea for too long, and after the torment she endured over the past few days, she hasn't woken up yet..."
Whew, you always have to be on your guard when talking to this man.
"If you don't wake up soon, I'll have no choice but to prick you with needles..."
The man was about to continue speaking when the person on the hospital bed twitched his fingers slightly and slowly woke up, his eyes rolling around.
"Doctor, look, the patient is awake."
Oh, thank goodness, they're all safe and sound.
Their eyes met, and they stared at each other blankly. The woman looked completely bewildered, while the man wore a gentle smile.
Of course, she knew that within that gentle smile lay surprise and relaxation.
Strange, why would someone I've never met look at me like that?
Could it be...?
"You may leave... Guards, come here."
The butler immediately appeared behind him. "Sir."
"Butler, prepare some food, remember it should be light and nutritious."
The butler was stunned. "..." Uh, young man, what's wrong with you?
How come that woman seemed like a completely different person as soon as she woke up?
How strange! Suddenly, the housekeeper, who had come downstairs, had bright eyes. Could it be that the iron tree is about to bloom this time?
Once you understand this, you'll be much more efficient at preparing things.
Nonsense, she's the future young mistress, she should be treated like royalty.
