On my way to get a checkup.

“My parents…” Jiang Mian looked at the man who was following closely beside the hospital bed.

"I'll tell them after you've finished your checkup, so they won't worry," Lu Bozhou said.

Jiang Mian thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so she nodded.

A full set of examinations should have been very slow, but Jiang Mian didn't have to wait in line, and the whole process didn't take too long.

When the results came out, the large team that had come earlier didn't show up.

Song Xu came out with the test results.

"How did it go?" Lu Bozhou's eyes were clearly tense when he saw Song Xu come in.

Song Xu laughed, "That scared you to death."

Seeing Song Xu's smile, Lu Bozhou felt at ease.

"There's nothing wrong. There's just some malnutrition that needs to be corrected, and some signs of muscle atrophy. These are common for bedridden patients. Once they wake up, it won't be a problem. With some physical therapy, more nutrition, and more sunshine, they'll get better soon."

Song Xu's words made Lu Bozhou breathe a sigh of relief without him showing any emotion.

Jiang Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wasn't particularly afraid of death, she had already prepared to say goodbye before she was on the verge of death.

And they have already accepted the worst-case scenario.

But she didn't really want to die; being able to live was, of course, the luckiest thing in the world.

Seeing that Lu Bozhou was even suppressing and concealing his nervousness, Song Xu couldn't help but sigh.

He thought to himself that with his shrewish manner, even if his wife got better, she would still dump him.

Song Xu paused for a few seconds, then said to Jiang Mian, "You have no idea how worried Bo Zhou was when you were unconscious. He stopped working and quit his job to stay by your side. He couldn't eat or drink and couldn't do anything at all."

Lu Bozhou wasn't one to show weakness in front of others, especially not in front of Jiang Mian.

He was used to protecting the people he cared about, although he had never been able to do so well, as things always went against his wishes.

But it was also because of this personality that Lu Bozhou was unwilling to show weakness, especially in front of his lover. He would endure whatever was sad by himself, and it didn't matter if he was misunderstood or hated.

In his view, this was the price he had to pay.

When Jiang Mian was unconscious, he was terrified and in great pain. He was afraid she wouldn't wake up, but once she did, everything was alright, and he wouldn't emphasize how scared or in pain he was.

Upon hearing Song Xu's words, Lu Bozhou frowned and looked at him, "Song Xu."

Song Xu also looked at him, "What did you call me for? Did I say something wrong? You're not doing your job properly, my brother is almost dead from exhaustion. If Jiang Mian doesn't wake up soon, I'm afraid my brother will be the first to die!"

Lu Bozhou opened his mouth, unable to refute it.

Jiang Mian smiled a little shyly.

Song Xu continued, "It's great that you're awake. Take good care of yourself and recover soon. Once this guy is more at ease, you can go back to do some work."

Jiang Mian: "I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble."

Hearing Jiang Mian say this, Lu Bozhou frowned and glared at Song Xu.

Song Xu sighed softly, "I didn't mean to blame you when I said that. But you are too important to everyone, especially to Lu Bozhou."

Jiang Mian: "I..."

Before she could speak, several people rushed in through the door. They were all in a hurry, and it was easy to tell how anxious they were. They didn't even stop their steps when they came in.

Jiang Yu's knee slammed into the side table with a dull thud; it sounded painful. But he ignored the pain and rushed to the hospital bedside.

"Sister!" Jiang Yu called out to Jiang Mian excitedly.

Then she turned and pointed at Lu Bozhou, cursing, "Lu Bozhou, you beast! You woke up and didn't tell us?"

Lu Bozhou remained unfazed by the angry outburst, his voice calm and composed: "I was busy accompanying her for her check-up and forgot."

"Forgot? Forgot my ass!" Jiang Yu pointed at him. "You've never forgotten anything! Aren't you just afraid this is a final burst of energy before death, or that it's all just wishful thinking?"

Jiang Mian saw Lu Bozhou's pupils suddenly shrink. He didn't speak, but his lips were tightly pursed.

Jiang Yu: "I knew you secretly shed tears because you were afraid of this before! And now you're pretending with me..."

Jiang Yu used to hate Lu Bozhou to the core because of Jiang Mian's death, but he was also somewhat wary of him.

But now it seems that Jiang Yu has no fear of Lu Bozhou at all.

They dare to blurt out anything.

Jiang Mian paused, then looked at Lu Bozhou sitting by the hospital bed.

Did he cry?

However, after seeing those dreamlike images, Jiang Mian wasn't too shocked by the possibility.

“Mianmian…” Mom and Dad came in from the doorway, their eyes red, but instead of sadness, they were filled with joy, immense joy.

"Finally awake, finally awake..." Jiang Shan's voice was hoarse, as if he had aged more than ten years.

"I'm fine now, don't worry too much." Jiang Mian smiled, a little embarrassed. "Were you scared?"

"Knowing you scared us, you need to be even more careful from now on." Song Wan held Jiang Mian's hand tightly.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared intently at Song Xu. "Dr. Song, how is Mianmian?"

"The examination revealed that apart from some malnutrition and muscle atrophy, there are no major problems."

"Okay, okay." Song Wan nodded repeatedly. "I'll make nutritious meals and bring them to you every day from now on. I'll make sure you get your body back in shape!"

Song Xu glanced at the emotionally charged Jiang family members, then at Lu Bozhou, who was sitting quietly beside the hospital bed.

After thinking for a moment, Song Xu said, "Uncle and Aunt, come with me for a moment. I'll tell you about the precautions to take after Jiang Mian."

Song Wan and Jiang Shan nodded repeatedly.

Song Xu then looked at Jiang Yu, "Don't just sit there, go and pick up the child."

Jiang Yu's eyes widened, "I..."

Before he could speak, Song Wan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, go quickly and bring Xiao Chi here. The child misses his mother so much that he can't sleep and cries secretly at night. Go and bring him here quickly, he will definitely be happy."

Jiang Yu could only frown and agree. He gave Lu Bozhou a disgruntled look before leaving the ward.

After Jiang's parents left the ward.

The ward suddenly fell silent.

Only Jiang Mian and Lu Bozhou remained silent.

Jiang Mian didn't speak; she looked down at her hands. They had lost a lot of weight, and the contours of her finger bones and prominent veins were visible on the back of her hands.

Her hands were so thin and frail, with no flesh at all, and she wore a ring on her ring finger.

I noticed her gaze was fixed on the ring on her finger.

Lu Bozhou, who had been silent all along, spoke in a low voice, "Master said that if we use something to tie you down so that your worldly ties are not severed, you won't leave, and you won't leave me."

Jiang Mian looked at the ring and asked softly, "So you're using this ring to tie me down?"

"No, I'll tie you to my own life."

The man's voice was filled with astonishing obsession and affection.
