On the fourth day of Bai Xiaoruo's coma, all her physical indicators returned to normal, and she was transferred to a regular ward.
But he still didn't wake up.
She was sleeping soundly, like a peaceful sleeping beauty.
Hsien Ming-yu asked the doctor many times and received basically the same answer: there were no major problems with her body. The reason she hadn't woken up yet was probably because her subconscious hadn't fully recovered. In other words, she had used up too much energy before and was recovering slowly, so she couldn't wake up so quickly.
After Bai Xiaoruo was transferred to a regular ward, it became much easier for Xuan Mingyu to visit her every day. However, Su Yuluo always needed him, so every time he managed to visit her for a while, Ayan would call to say that Su Yuluo wanted to see him.
Running between the two places was even more exhausting for Xuan Mingyu than working at the company. On one hand, he hoped that Bai Xiaoruo could wake up soon, and on the other hand, he had to find all sorts of excuses to appease Su Yuluo, whose emotions were always very unstable. Every time he left for only a few hours, she would start making a fuss again.
The fifth day of Bai Xiaoruo's coma.
At 3 p.m., the nurse re-bandaged her wound, changed the dressing, and left with the medicine cart. She woke up shortly afterward.
At first, her fingers moved little by little, and her eyelids also twitched. Finally, she slightly opened her eyes—
Looking at the white expanse in front of her and smelling the pungent odor of disinfectant, she still felt dizzy, and the pain in her body made her frown.
Where is this?
Her first thought was, "Am I already dead? Is this heaven?"
I never thought I could go to heaven after I died, so it's not bad.
Now that I'm in heaven, I can finally see my mother, right?
But I can no longer see my maternal grandfather, nor Xianmingyu, nor Shushu, nor Ziqian, nor my paternal grandparents...
Why does my body still hurt so much even after I've gone to heaven?
It was as if I had just been beaten up badly; I couldn't muster any strength at all.
Her mouth was so dry, she really wanted to drink water.
Bai Xiaoruo closed her eyes again; she felt tired even after keeping them open for a while.
She opened her mouth with difficulty, weakly uttering, "Water...water..."
There was no response for a long time.
Is heaven really that bad? She can't even get a glass of water. She thought it would be like in the TV dramas, where water would fly to her mouth by itself. It's definitely better to be alive.
Just then, a nurse was about to come in to change Bai Xiaoruo's IV drip. Upon hearing the door open, Bai Xiaoruo immediately opened her eyes.
Is it an angel?
I'm so thirsty, could an angel bring me a glass of water?
When the nurse saw Bai Xiaoruo open her eyes, she was overjoyed. "Miss Bai, you're finally awake! I'll go get the doctor for you." With that, the nurse changed the IV drip and hurried out.
doctor?
Bai Xiaoruo then realized that she had been sleeping in a daze and that she was still alive and well.
But how did she get to the hospital?
***
Xian Mingyu had just returned to the new hospital from Beicheng and planned to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep before going to the hospital to see Bai Xiaoruo later.
He lifted his foot to go upstairs when Uncle Chen rushed in excitedly, "Young Master! Young Master, the hospital just called to say that Young Madam has woken up."
At the hospital, the family members left Uncle Chen's mobile phone number.
Upon hearing the good news that Bai Xiaoruo had woken up, Xuan Mingyu was no longer sleepy. He immediately asked Uncle Chen to bring the car out so he could go to the hospital to see Bai Xiaoruo.
I drove to the hospital and arrived at Bai Xiaoruo's ward. The doctor had just finished a full-body examination and was about to leave.
Her health is much better now. Once the scars on her body scab over and heal, she can be discharged from the hospital in about two weeks.
After the doctor left, only Xian Mingyu remained in the ward.
He immediately walked to the chair next to her hospital bed and sat down. Bai Xiaoruo was still a little dazed. He seemed to have run there. Even though it was a cold day, his forehead was sweating.
“You…” She reached her hand out from under the covers, about to wipe the sweat from his forehead, when Xian Mingyu grabbed her hand. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? You were sleeping like a log, I couldn’t wake you up even if it was thunder.”
You're the one who's... a pig!
She was still very weak, and her voice was feeble. She tried to pull her hand away from his, but Xian Mingyu held it tightly. "Is there anything else that's bothering you? Does it still hurt? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Faced with his barrage of questions, Bai Xiaoruo didn't know which one to answer first.
However, she always felt that Xuan Mingyu was acting strangely.
Bai Xiaoruo felt a little uncomfortable with his sudden concern for her.
"I want to drink water."
"Okay, I'll go pour it for you."
He let go of her hand, got up, walked to the side, picked up the kettle, and poured her a cup of hot water.
Let it cool down for a while before letting her drink it.
He sat down beside her bed, intending to help her sit up slowly to drink water. But as soon as he touched her shoulder, Bai Xiaoruo gasped in pain, her brows furrowing as if she were in great agony.
"It hurts...don't touch me..." The whip marks on her back were still there, and it was already painful to lie flat. If she was touched, it would be even more unbearable.
"Then I'll raise the bed a bit."
"Um."
Xuan Mingyu had no choice but to stop touching her. Seeing Bai Xiaoruo's pained expression and her pale face, he felt terrible.
I used to hold her to sleep every day, but these past few days I haven't been able to hold her and I haven't been sleeping well. I thought I could hold her when she woke up, but I forgot that she still has injuries that I can't touch.
