Jun Rui dragged his feet with a heavy heart and slowly walked into Ouyang Li's room.

His eyes were full of pity and love as he stared at the person lying quietly on the bed.

Ouyang Li’s face was as pale as snow, her head was wrapped in thick gauze due to surgery, her eyes were closed, and she looked like a beautiful princess in deep sleep.

Jun Rui walked to the bed with difficulty, sat down gently, held Ouyang Li's hand tightly, and felt the faint warmth.

He carefully placed her hand on his cheek, hoping to give her a little warmth and comfort, letting her know that he was always by her side.

Ouyang Li felt nothing and just lay there quietly. Three days passed and Ouyang Li showed no signs of waking up.

Jun Rui panicked. He rushed to Ouyang Miaoling's room. After three days of rest and recuperation, Ouyang Miaoling had recovered her mental state.

Xiaoyue came to report: "Princess... Young Master Jun is outside the door asking to see you..." Ouyang Miaoling nodded and let Jun Rui in.

She stood up with the help of her maid and sat on the armchair next to her. Xiaoyun quickly brought her a cup of tea.

Jun Rui, under the guidance of Xiaoyue, came to where Ouyang Miaoling lived. He looked at the door in front of him, feeling a little uneasy, but he still took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

After entering the room, he saw Ouyang Miaoling sitting in the main seat in the main hall.

She was wearing a plain skirt, her hair was combed into an exquisite bun, her face was dignified and beautiful, and her eyes revealed a sense of majesty and nobility.

Jun Rui hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands together and bowed: "Jun Rui greets the princess..." His voice was low and respectful, showing his respect for Ouyang Miaoling.

Ouyang Miaoling glanced at him indifferently, nodded gently, and said: "Please get up quickly... Junrui, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Her tone was flat, and one could not tell whether she was happy or angry.

Jun Rui pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Princess...it's Li'er's injury..." There was a hint of worry and concern in his words, and it was obvious that he cared very much about Li'er's injury.

When Ouyang Miaoling heard that it was about her daughter's injury, her face changed slightly, and a trace of tension and worry flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly asked: "What happened to Li'er? Is her condition getting worse?" Her voice was full of anxiety and worry.

"No...it's because Li'er hasn't woken up in three days. I was worried about her, so I came here to ask about her condition." Jun Rui expressed his concerns.

Ouyang Miaoling felt relieved when she heard that his condition had not worsened. She said in a low voice, "Jun Rui, I know you are a good child, but there is one thing I want to make clear to you."

Jun Rui's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he was afraid to hear bad news about Ouyang Li.

Seeing his nervous face, Ouyang Miaoling comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much. I'm just telling you the worst-case scenario. You can make your own decision."

Ouyang Miaoling paused for a moment, as if she mustered up a lot of courage before she said, "Li'er's condition was that she fell from the mountain and injured her head. There was blood clots in her head, which compressed her nerves and caused her to fall into a coma. Although I have performed a craniotomy on her and cleared all the blood clots, it seems that she also injured her brain nerves, which caused her to fall into a coma."

When Jun Rui heard Ouyang Miaoling's explanation, he was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair and said in surprise: "What? Craniotomy?" Ouyang Miaoling then realized that these people had no concept of craniotomy treatment in their subconscious mind, and they felt incredible when they heard about craniotomy.

Ouyang Miaoling sighed softly and said gently: "Yes, it is a craniotomy. But please believe me, although this operation sounds scary, it is the most effective treatment method."

Jun Rui's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "But...but, how is it possible? If we open the head, won't we be dead?"

Ouyang Miaoling smiled and patiently explained: "In fact, the human brain has the ability to repair itself. As long as the operation is performed carefully and the damage to the brain tissue is minimized, the patient may still recover after the operation. Moreover, I have made sufficient preparations before the operation to ensure the safety and success of the operation."

Jun Rui frowned and asked in confusion: "Then how do you perform the surgery? Use a knife to cut open the head?"

Ouyang Miaoling smiled and said, "Instead of using a knife, I use a special tool that can precisely cut the skull. Then, I will carefully remove the blood clot and finally sew the skull together. The whole process needs to be very delicate and cautious, and there can be no mistakes."

Jun Rui was stunned. He had never thought that medical skills could be so miraculous. He couldn't help but ask, "After the operation, will Li'er be in a coma like now?"

Ouyang Miaoling nodded and said affirmatively: "The operation went smoothly, and Li'er recovered well after the operation. As for when she will wake up, it is unknown. She may wake up in the next two days, or she may become a vegetable for the rest of her life."

Jun Rui took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with admiration: "Princess, you are so amazing." But at the same time, he showed a worried look: "What if Li'er can't wake up in this lifetime?"

Ouyang Miaoling shook her head helplessly, sighed softly and said: "This is also the problem I want to talk to you about. She may lie in bed for the rest of her life and cannot be like a normal person. As her mother, we have the responsibility and obligation to take care of her, but you don't have this obligation. You have done very well, and you can say that you have done your utmost. So, from now on, you don't have to worry about Li'er's affairs anymore. I will take care of her daily life myself."

Hearing Ouyang Miaoling say this, Jun Rui panicked. He fell to his knees with a frantic thump, begging in a tearful voice, "Princess, please don't separate Li'er and me! I'm sincere to her. No matter what she becomes, I'm willing to take care of her for the rest of my life and never leave her."

Ouyang Miaoling was touched by Jun Rui's sincerity, and a warm current surged in her heart. She was so moved that her eyes were moist. She hurriedly walked forward, stretched out her hands to help Jun Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, up, and said softly: "Get up quickly."

"Good boy, you are still young and have a long life ahead of you. I don't want Li'er to delay the rest of your life. Think about it carefully."

After hearing Ouyang Miaoling's words, Jun Rui felt as if his soul had been hollowed out. He turned around helplessly with empty eyes. He was like a walking corpse. He didn't know how he left Xuanyue Pavilion.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. He felt helpless and didn't know what to do. He just walked back to Jun Mansion aimlessly.
