When He Li and Gu Yan entered the room, they both froze in their tracks. They saw an unexpected figure—Zhou Feifei. She sat quietly beside the bed, her eyes fixed on the person lying there.

However, what truly shocked them was that He Li's eldest brother, He Mian, was actually awake at this moment! His eyes were slightly open, and his face showed a weak but clear expression. And most surprising of all, he was eating. Although his movements were slow, each bite was filled with a desire for life.

He Li's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing. This scene, which had appeared countless times in his dreams and imaginations, was now unfolding before him in all its reality. He felt a surge of intense joy in his heart, and his eyes began to moisten.

"Brother!" He Li was so excited that he almost ran over, his voice full of joy and surprise.

He had waited so long for this moment, seven years, over 2,500 days and nights. The hardships and waiting involved were something only he knew, and words could hardly express them.

Zhou Feifei raised her head immediately upon hearing He Li's voice, all her eyes fixed on him. Tears glistened in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she had forgotten everything around her, including her husband who had just woken up.

He Mian didn't find it strange to see his wife showing this expression to his younger brother. After all, he, his younger brother, had been the most favored one in the family since he was a child. Zhou Feifei originally liked He Li, and he had been lying in bed like a waste for more than seven years. Even if He Li was with Zhou Feifei, he had no right to be angry.

When He Mian raised his eyes, he saw a strange figure.

"Excuse me, who is this?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of doubt and curiosity.

He Li was so happy that he forgot that Gu Yan was still beside him. After hearing what He Mian said, he quickly turned to look at Gu Yan, but then realized that now was not the right time to introduce her.

"Brother, stop talking so much. I'll ask the doctor to check you out. Sister-in-law, please stay with my brother for a while."

Zhou Feifei originally knew that the possibility of her and He Li being together was very small, especially now that her half-dead husband had woken up.

Gu Yan did not blame He Li for not introducing her just now. His elder brother's health came first.

The He family was bustling with activity all afternoon. Not only were there several groups of doctors coming to examine He Mian, but many relatives and friends also came to visit. For a while, the house was bustling with people, and it was a bustling place.

The doctors carefully examined He Mian's condition. After a detailed diagnosis and analysis, they unanimously concluded that He Mian had fully recovered! This news made everyone ecstatic, especially He Quan, who was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

He said with emotion, "We have never given up hope over the years. Thanks to your dedication and professional medical staff who massage He Mian's body every day, his muscles have not atrophied, laying a good foundation for his recovery today!"

The doctors agreed and encouraged Hemian to actively cooperate with the subsequent rehabilitation training. They told Hemian that as long as he persevered and worked hard, his body would soon return to its previous state. Hemian nodded gratefully and promised to give it his all.

Just then, He Mian discovered that someone had never shown up.

He looked around nervously, then turned to He Li and asked, "Where is Mom? I remember she was with me when the car accident happened. Did something happen to Mom?"

An ominous premonition surged in his heart, causing his heartbeat to accelerate instantly.

He Li was about to explain when he saw that figure suddenly appear outside the door.

"Ah...ah!"

Ye Zhen had just finished a follow-up examination at the hospital. As soon as she walked downstairs, she heard the news that her son had woken up. However, no matter how excited she was, she still couldn't make any sound.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Time flies, and seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. For others, that horrific car accident is long gone, but for this mother and son, the tragedy is as vivid as if it happened yesterday. No matter how time passes, the deep wounds in their hearts are difficult to heal.

"At that time, in order to protect you, your mother did not hesitate to use her body as a shield, blocking most of the damage you faced. However, this selfless maternal love made her pay a huge price - her body was severely damaged, and she is still in a state of semi-paralysis and dementia." The doctor said solemnly.

Someone had to come forward and explain the situation, but when He Mian heard the truth, he slapped himself hard.

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't been in such a hurry to get to the airport, my mother wouldn't have driven after me out of fear for my safety. This is all my fault!"

"How can I blame you? The one who should be blamed is the woman who abandoned He Li. If it weren't for her, He Li wouldn't be seriously ill in China; if it weren't for her, you and mother wouldn't have been in the car accident. It's a pity that the woman hid herself too deeply all these years, otherwise I would never let her go so easily!"

Zhou Feifei's words made Gu Yan's pupils, who had been silent, tremble suddenly.

It turns out that the instigator of all this tragedy is Gu Yan! !

Gu Yan looked at He Li in disbelief. Ever since they met again, He Li's attitude towards her had been fickle. Sometimes he seemed to hate her, but sometimes he seemed more helpless.

It turns out that this is the truth of all facts. No wonder He Li’s father is so against them being together.

If it was Gu Yan's family who became vegetative or disabled because of He Li, Gu Yan couldn't guarantee what she would do to He Li.

He Li had no time to stop Zhou Feifei from speaking, she just said it so sweetly, and now Gu Yan's eyes were full of confusion and fear.

Seeing that Gu Yan wanted to leave, He Li hurriedly stopped her: "A Yan, where are you going?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to He Li's shout.

He Li's mother Ye Zhen also looked over immediately when she heard the sound.

It turned out that after so many years, his youngest son was still with this girl.

Ye Zhen had never met Gu Yan face to face, but she had seen the photo of the two of them sent by He Li.

Although seven years have passed, Gu Yan's appearance has not changed much.

In addition to Ye Zhen recognizing Gu Yan, He Mian also recognized her.

He looked at Gu Yan, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

What happened between them? Why did Gu Yan panic?

He Li looked at Gu Yan nervously, afraid that she would leave like this.

He didn't know how to deal with this situation, but he knew he couldn't let Gu Yan go like this.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Yan, waiting for her reaction.

At this moment, Gu Yan's heart was already in a mess. She didn't know how to deal with this situation...

He Mian had never seen Gu Yan's appearance, but He Li mentioned this name when he called him. He didn't expect that his younger brother was so infatuated that after seven years, he was still entangled with this girl.

As he spoke, He Liren had already come to Gu Yan's side, looking at her gently. "It's a good thing that my brother woke up today. I know you must have a lot of questions and confusions in your heart, but promise me, give me some time, okay? You go back to the manor first, and I will come to you later. Remember what you promised me today."

He Li's voice contained a barely perceptible pleading tone. He knew that Zhou Feifei's words just now definitely made Gu Yan understand something. What He Li feared most was that Gu Yan would retreat back into her shell because of this. What he wanted was never an apology from Gu Yan.

He just wanted her to understand that he would always be there for her, no matter what happened.

Gu Yan looked at He Li quietly, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She knew He Li was right, and now was not the time to question him. She also needed some time to sort out her thoughts. So, she nodded slightly in agreement.

He Li felt relieved when she agreed. He gently stroked her cheek and said softly, "Then you go back first. I'll come find you soon."

After saying that, he sent Gu Yan downstairs.

"He Li, I've said before that unless you completely lose me in your heart, I will never leave you, so you have to try to believe me."

After hearing Gu Yan's repeated assurances, He Li was finally completely relieved. He then touched Gu Yan's head and left.

Gu Yan looked at He Li's departing back and her mood gradually calmed down.

She knew that in the days to come, she would face more challenges and tests, and she also knew that the hardships that He Li and she would face in the future would only increase, not decrease.

Since God arranged for them to meet again, no matter what, Gu Yan told herself that she could not retreat anymore. At least, she could not be a deserter in her relationship.

She believed that as long as they trusted and supported each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties. And today, they had made a promise to each other, which meant that their relationship would become even closer.

After Gu Yan walked for a while, a convertible sports car suddenly appeared behind her.

Sitting in the sports car was a handsome man, whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to He Li.

"Hey, beautiful, you're alone. It's hard to get a taxi in this area. Where are you going? I'll take you there."

The best way to deal with such a person is to ignore him. Gu Yan did not respond but instead quickened his pace.

Seeing Gu Yan being so tactless, He Zhao found it amusing.

He followed Gu Yan on purpose. He Li had never brought a woman home before. Gu Yan was the first one.

Moreover, judging from He Li's attitude towards this woman, he loves her terribly.
