Prajna advised earnestly, "But you are still here, aren't you? I promise you, as long as you follow us back, I will find a way to make this body of yours last longer."
Hua Wuxin's attitude remained firm. "No need. My fate is determined by heaven, and I don't want to force it. Senior, please think about how to save my wife first. Now that you're here, I don't want your reputation to be ruined here."
By the time Wang Yanzhou left the hot spring villa, it was already evening. He had been guarding Wang Ruo's bedside for a long time, but she hadn't woken up. Furthermore, several groups of people from the military camp had already arrived, urging them to come back. With no other options, Wang Yanzhou had no choice but to completely entrust Wang Ruo to Tang Chen.
After Tang Chen sent the message back, the wet nurses brought Xiao Douding and Xiao Shuang'er's belongings that night. After preparing everything, they prepared to bring both children over the next morning for easier care.
The next morning, after Tang Chen had taken care of the two children, she went back to Wang Ruo's room. She had been staying by her bedside without taking off her clothes for the past two days, hoping to see her wake up as soon as possible.
Maybe the heavens heard Tang Chen's prayers, or maybe Wang Ruo had finally gotten enough sleep and was willing to wake up: "Ahem!"
Wang Ruo seemed to have choked on her own saliva. As soon as she woke up, she kept coughing, and her face was red from coughing. Tang Chen hurriedly helped her up, patting her back to help her breathe, and asked with concern: "It's okay, it's okay, pat, how do you feel?"
When Wang Ruo regained her composure, the first thing she did was look for Hua Wuxin. Seeing that he wasn't beside her, she suddenly became anxious: "...Where's Jiang Ling? Why, why isn't she here?"
Tang Chen said softly, "Don't worry, he's gone to find a doctor for you and will be back soon. Are you hungry or thirsty now?"
After saying this, Tang Chen called the waiter outside in and stood up to pour a cup of warm water for Wang Ruo. However, before the cup even touched Wang Ruo's mouth, she pushed it away.
Tang Chen saw that Wang Ruo was determined to see Hua Wuxin, otherwise she would throw a tantrum. He gestured for everyone to leave first, then said, "You've been unconscious for two days and two nights. Drink a little, your body won't be able to bear it."
Wang Ruo tilted her head and said like a child, "Go find Jiang Ling. I want him to accompany me. Otherwise, I won't drink at all."
Tang Chen couldn't use the same tactics he used on his children on her, so he could only persuade her, "He'll be back soon. Drink some water and eat something first. Otherwise, by the time he comes back, you'll be exhausted again, and you'll miss him, right?"
"...", just this one sentence, immediately hit the point. Seeing that she was silent, Tang Chen smiled and said: "Come here, bring the porridge I cooked!"
After eating a small bowl of porridge and some side dishes, Wang Ruo's breathing became much smoother than before. When she spoke, she obviously had more strength, not as breathless as when she just woke up.
After Tang Chen served her some food, he saw that she had no appetite and did not force her to eat: "If you don't want to eat, then we won't eat. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"
Wang Ruo stared at the movement outside the door without blinking, and said, "I'm just very tired. I'm so tired that I don't even want to talk."
Tang Chen gently moved Wang Ruo's head onto his shoulder and said softly, "You just woke up, you can't sleep anymore. Come, I'll talk to you. At least stay awake for a while, okay?"
Wang Ruo slowly closed her eyes and nodded slightly: "Well, I want to wait for him to come back, I want to see him come back."
Tang Chen patted Xiao Shuang'er's back gently as if he was coaxing her to sleep, and said, "He will be back soon, and he will bring the doctor with him."
Wang Ruo closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and looked at the world in front of her, which was so bright that she couldn't see clearly. She murmured, "Achen, I don't think I'm sick."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. The doctor has the final say on whether you're sick or not."
Sick people sometimes like to think about random things and say strange things. In order to prevent her from thinking about bad things, Tang Chen filled the room with vibrant flowers and plants during her coma. Looking at the red and green colors, her mood improved a lot.
Wang Ruo had been having a lot of strange dreams lately. She dreamed she was back home, her family of four living their ordinary lives just as she remembered. She also dreamed she was floating lightly across thousands of mountains and rivers, not knowing where to return. The scenes in her dreams were so complex that she couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or had already woken up.
"Hey, tell me, if we die, will we turn into ashes and be gone forever, or will we be able to return to the place that truly belongs to us?"
Tang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I guess Li Xinzhai knows."
"I actually hope to go back. I still have so much to say to my parents. The day my sister and I came here, I actually had an argument with them."
Seeing Wang Ruo open up and seem to have regained some energy, Tang Chen thought that the bowl of warming medicinal porridge he had just given her might have taken effect. He hurriedly coaxed her to talk more to prevent her from falling into a deep sleep. "I see that you and Wang Zhen seem to have a good relationship. Why did you quarrel with them? What was it about?"
Wang Ruo's mouth kept turning up. Although there was a hint of complaint in her words, the happiness that naturally emanated from her was undeniable. "It was Wang Zhen again. On the way home from buying groceries, she beat someone up. When she came to our house, I didn't know what happened. No matter what she said, my parents thought I was the one who beat her up. They even asked me to apologize to that person. I ran away in anger."
Tang Chen saw her stop with her eyes closed and asked quickly, "And then?"
Wang Ruo paused for a moment, reminiscing, and then said, "Then? Wang Zhen chased me out. I ran, and she chased me. As we ran, a thick fog came, and we ran to Zhiyoulin."
Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh. He had never heard her talk about these things before, and he was worried that they were some unpleasant memories, so he had been holding back and not asking more questions. Today, he could finally satisfy his curiosity: "Wow, why does it feel a little weird? So, have you ever complained to Wang Zhen? If you hadn't quarreled, maybe you could still be together with your family now, and not end up like this, separated forever."
