At 43 minutes, Charles issued his first critical condition notice due to Xiao Cheng's severe bleeding.
Yu Sheng didn't know how she signed her name. Her mind was buzzing, her legs felt like they were walking on cotton, and she had a feeling that everything was unreal and she was dreaming.
Before she could recover from that feeling, Charles issued a second and third critical condition notice at one hour and twenty-two minutes and one hour and thirty-six minutes!
At that moment, Yu Sheng had an extremely bad feeling that Xiao Cheng might... leave her!
Gu Ye held her, but fear had rendered her immune to physical reactions. She trembled violently, her face deathly pale, like a patient on the verge of death.
Two hours and six minutes later, Charles, dressed in surgical scrubs, came out of the operating room. Yu Sheng got up and rushed toward him, but her legs were too weak to walk, so she had to be helped forward by Gu Ye.
"Doctor...how is my brother?" Yu Sheng's voice was trembling so much that she could barely speak.
Charles removed his mask and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've done my best!"
Charles's words crushed Yu Sheng's last shred of will; her vision went black, and she fainted.
While in a coma, she was transported back to ten years ago to the moment when she and Xiao Cheng left the aquarium and she was riding her bike home with him.
This scene appeared in her dreams countless times.
Each time, a car accident would mark his awakening.
This time, there was no car accident.
She returned home laughing and joking with him, only to find Qiao Weiyang, who had already divorced Yu Jing, there. When Yu Sheng looked at him helplessly, Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, "You two are back! Look what I bought for you two."
After he finished speaking, he magically produced two candied hawthorns from behind his back.
Xiao Cheng happily took the candied hawthorn from his hand and began to eat it with relish.
Seeing the worried look on her face, Qiao Weiyang asked with concern, "My darling daughter, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you looking at your father like that?"
Yu Sheng's eyes reddened. She was afraid that if she ate his food or got too intimate with him, Yu Jing would scold her.
As she pursed her lips, unsure how to answer, Yu Jing, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food. She looked at the father and daughter with a smile and said, "What are you two whispering about? Time to eat!"
After their divorce, Yu Jing and Qiao Weiyang were irreconcilable enemies, and now this is...
Before Yu Sheng could react, Qiao Weiyang scooped her up in his arms. She whispered in his ear, "Eat first. After you eat, tell my dad who bullied you. Whoever it was, they're dead meat!"
As Yu Sheng's pupils dilated in shock at Qiao Weiyang's words, Xiao Cheng pointed to the cake on the table and said, "Sister, look, there's a cake..."
Qiao Weiyang carried Yu Sheng over, touched Xiao Cheng's face and said, "Today is your birthday, of course there's a cake."
Yu Sheng looked at Qiao Weiyang and choked up, "You...are you here to...celebrate Xiao Cheng's birthday?"
Qiao Weiyang frowned: "What do you mean I'm here to celebrate Xiao Cheng's birthday? Where did I come from?"
Yu Sheng glanced at Yu Jing, who was busy in the kitchen, and said softly, "Your new home."
"My new home?" Qiao Weiyang looked at Yu Sheng, puzzled. "What new home?"
Yu Sheng pursed her lips: "Aren't you suitable for my mother to remarry after her divorce?"
Qiao Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said to Yu Jing, who happened to come out, "Yu Jing, Sheng Sheng actually said that I divorced you. This girl must have dreamed that I divorced you."
Yu Jing pretended to be angry and flicked Yu Sheng's forehead: "You really know how to dream. Can't you dream something nice?"
Yu Sheng was stunned...
Could it be that Qiao Weiyang and Yu Jing did not divorce in reality, and Xiao Cheng did not have a car accident, and that everything happened in her dream?
As Yu Sheng was thinking this, Yu Jing lit the candles on the cake, put the birthday hat on Xiao Cheng's head, and said, "Little birthday star, make a wish!"
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes and said, "I hope our family will always be happy together."
"Fish pipe? Fish pipe?? Fish pipe???"
The calls in her ears woke Yu Sheng from her sleep.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Gu Ye, unsure whether it was reality or a dream. As she stared blankly at him, Gu Ye asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Yu Sheng looked around in a panic, "Where am I? How did I get here? Where's Xiao Cheng? Where are my dad and mom?"
Seeing that Yu Sheng seemed a bit off, Gu Ye probed, "Do you remember when Charles performed surgery on Xiao Cheng?" "Charles performed surgery on Xiao Cheng?"
As Yu Sheng murmured softly, a series of memories flooded into her mind.
When she remembered Charles telling her about the failed surgery, she frantically grabbed Gu Ye's arms, crying out, "Where's Xiao Cheng? Where is Xiao Cheng now?"
“In…” Gu hesitated for a moment, then said, “The morgue…”
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, no, how could he be in the morgue? We were just blowing out candles together. He couldn't possibly be in the morgue. It's fake, you're lying to me... Why are you lying to me?"
Gu Ye patiently said, "Yu Sheng, I know you can't accept Xiao Cheng's death right now, but it's a fact."
"Just because you say it's true, doesn't mean it is! I want to see for myself!"
After saying that, Yu Sheng rushed out of the ward without even putting on her shoes.
She didn't know where the morgue was and had to ask several people before she found it.
As soon as she entered, she saw a corpse lying in the middle of the house, covered with a white sheet.
Her legs went weak as she walked over, her hands trembling as she lifted the white sheet. The moment she saw Xiao Cheng's face, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She shook her head, murmuring over and over, "This isn't real, it's a dream. Xiao Cheng isn't dead, he's still alive..."
As she said this, she slapped herself hard, "Wake up, wake up..."
Just as she was about to slap him a second time, Shang Yan arrived in time and stopped her.
Yu Sheng looked at Shang Yan in despair, "Why are you in this dream too? Get out, get out!"
