Mu Shen hurriedly left the ward. As his slightly heavy figure disappeared at the door, the people in the living room who were waiting for others to wake up also stood up.

Then, a voice broke the silence: "Is Ruoan awake?"

This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and those who were waiting looked towards the bedroom.

Gao Liang was arguing fiercely with Zhao Han about something, but when he heard the news that Ruoan might wake up, he immediately froze in place as if he had been cast under a spell.

But just a few seconds later, he suddenly came to his senses, left Zhao Han who was still sitting on the ground, and strode towards the ward.

At the same time, Lin Cai, who had been observing all this silently from the side, saw this and hurried forward to stop them from entering the room.

He opened his arms and stood in front of Gao Liang, asking everyone not to go in. He whispered, "Ruo'an has woken up. Everyone, please go back first."

"Ruoan will have to undergo a series of tests later. She's very emotionally unstable right now. If so many people rush in at once, it's likely to cause her unnecessary stress."

After saying that, Lin Cai slowly swept his sharp eyes over everyone present, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Wen Qing, who had been standing not far away, thought of Mu Shen's solemn expression when he left, and then thought of the deep worry on Lin Cai's face, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

So, he quickly walked to Lin Cai and asked anxiously, "What happened to Ruoan? Is there any problem after waking up?"

At this moment, Ouyang, who had just returned from a phone call, joined the conversation.

He looked at Lin Cai who was blocking everyone from entering and asked in confusion, "What happened? I heard Ruoan woke up. Isn't that a good thing? Why don't you let everyone in to take a look?"

Facing everyone's barrage of questions, Lin Cai took a deep breath and then slowly said in a slightly lowered voice, "Although Ruoan has now regained consciousness, she was blinded by the severe impact she suffered earlier."

"As for the specific situation, it is not yet certain whether it is temporary blindness or permanent..."

Before Lin Cai finished speaking, everyone present was stunned by the sudden bad news. No one was speechless for a moment, but they all cast their astonished eyes at Lin Cai.

"How could this happen? Big Brother has clearly read the report before. Doesn't it clearly state that as long as he wakes up, he'll be fine."

"But why is he blind now? What is going on?" Ouyang asked Lin Cai anxiously with a worried look on his face and tightly furrowed brows.

Ouyang subconsciously pursed his lips, which had become dry from excessive worry, and then looked directly at Lin Cai with a worried look in his eyes. He then asked, "Brother, have you given Ruoan a detailed examination?"

"What is the current situation?"

Hearing this, Lin Cai took a deep breath, calmed himself, and responded with a calm tone but a firm gaze, "Brother just went out to do some preparations. We'll have to take Ruoan there for further examination and treatment in a while."

"Therefore, it's best not to disturb Ruoan during this period, so as to avoid unnecessary stimulation and damage to her eyes."

Gao Liang, who was standing aside, could no longer suppress his inner anxiety and guilt.

He looked at Lin Cai eagerly, his eyes showing earnest pleading, and his voice trembled slightly with a hint of sadness as he said:

"Okay... I promise not to disturb Ruoan. Just let me in to take a look at her, okay? Just a quick look is all."

You know, the reason why Ruoan was injured and blinded this time was because of saving him.

Lin Cai looked at Gao Liang's grief-stricken and regretful expression, and a wave of sympathy surged in his heart. He nodded slightly in agreement and repeatedly reminded him, "Okay, but remember not to talk to Ruoan after you go in. Just take a look. Otherwise, it will likely have a negative impact on the subsequent examination."

"Okay, I won't say anything. I'll just look at her." Gao Liang nodded in response.

As for Wen Qing and others, they did not enter the house together, but chose to stay outside the door and wait silently.

Everyone knew that the most important thing at the moment was to ensure that Xia Ruoan could complete all the examinations smoothly and recover his eyesight as soon as possible. Other things could be put aside for the time being.

"Ruoan has always been a well-behaved, sensible, and kind-hearted child. God must be kind to her."

"They say those who survive a great disaster will be rewarded handsomely. Nothing will happen to me."

How could he bear to be so cruel to her? Thinking of this, Wen Qing couldn't help but clench his hands tightly together, as if trying to grasp that little ray of hope.

He was not only comforting the people around him, but also seeking some solace for his own uneasy heart.

At this time, Ouyang turned his head and looked at Lin Cai, his eyes full of worry, and asked softly: "Lin, how about we get Ningning and the other kids out of the room first?"

"After all, the children are still young. If they accidentally make a noise inside, will it disturb Ruoan's rest?"

However, Lin Cai shook his head gently and replied in an unusually firm tone, "Don't worry, the children are very obedient and well-behaved. Let them stay in the room with Ruoan."

Hearing Lin Cai say this, Ouyang felt a little relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang and Gao Liang tiptoed into the room.

I saw that Zhong Zishu had already carried the three lovely children to bed and was guarding behind them very carefully, fearing that anything might go wrong.

On the other side, Leng Zexi gently embraced Xia Ruoan in his arms with extremely gentle movements, as if he wanted to give her the warmest care in the world.

Although Xia Ruoan was extremely weak at this time, she still forced herself to cheer up and said, "Please don't tell the elders at home about my car accident and blindness."

"Maybe my condition will get better after a while. I don't want them to worry about me all day long."

There was a hint of uneasiness in his words.

Hearing this, Leng Zexi slowly shifted his gaze to Zhong Zishu beside him. After seeing the other party nod slightly, he finally responded to Xia Ruoan, "Don't worry, we will keep your parents' secret for the time being."

"But... it might be a bit difficult to deal with my parents. After all, they will find out about this sooner or later."

After all, Suisui and the others will need to be sent over there, so we'll need them to help take care of them.

Moreover, if no one takes care of Ruoan's vegetable garden, there will be no continuous supply of fresh vegetables.

My parents live so close to me, there's no way this could have been hidden from them.

Fortunately, Xia Ruoan's parents are not here, so this matter can be kept secret for the time being.

"Well, my parents are busy teaching high school students now, and they can't be distracted by these things." Xia Ruoan nodded in agreement.

Then, she looked at him apologetically and said softly, "Until my eyesight fully recovers, I'm going to have to trouble you for a while."

"How about you help me find a servant to take care of me? At least this way it won't affect your normal work."

However, Leng Zexi shook his head without hesitation and responded gently: "Silly girl, having the opportunity to take care of you is not only an honor for me, but also my responsibility and obligation! Don't say such polite words to me."

"Besides, even if I find a servant, I still won't be able to put my mind at ease. So, it's better for me to take care of you myself. That way I can truly feel at ease."

Hearing the conversation between mom and dad, Suisui tightly grasped her mother's hand and said with a childish but firm face, "Mom, I'm here! I can take good care of you, too!"

After saying that, the little guy raised his head and looked at Leng Zexi with his clear and bright eyes, then added seriously: "Dad, I don't want to go to kindergarten. I want to stay at home and take care of mom."

"I won't go either!" The clear and firm voices of Nian Nian and Ning Ning sounded at the same time, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, expressing their attitudes in unison.

When Leng Zexi heard the three little guys' resolute words, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He gently reached out his hands, rubbed the soft little heads of Nian Nian and Ning Ning respectively, and said softly: "You two, as long as you can take good care of yourselves, that will be the best care for your mother."

"As for your mother, don't worry, leave her to me. I will definitely take good care of her. You little brats don't need to worry about her at all."

Xia Ruoan, who was standing aside, took in Leng Zexi's words full of love and care. The corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly, outlining a beautiful arc.

Zhong Zishu had been paying attention to the changes in Xia Ruoan's expression. When he saw her smile that was as blooming as a spring flower, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

He quickly spoke to comfort her, "Ruo'an, don't overthink it. Even if Zexi is sometimes too busy to get away, don't forget that we still have several brothers here."

"Your fourth brother has already learned the news and is rushing here." Zhong Zishu looked at her gently and said.

"I haven't had anything important to do recently, so it's my responsibility to take care of you. After all, we are a family, so there's no need to bother."

"Fourth brother is so busy, why did you tell him?" Xia Ruoan frowned in disapproval.

"No matter how busy I am, it's not as important as you. You really scare me to death. What should we do if something happens to you?" Ouyang Jin rushed over, his tone full of worry and blame.
