"Adong, how are you now? Where are you? I can..." Liu Sisi suddenly threw off the blanket, her movements urgent.

At that moment, her mind was filled with one intense thought—she had to see him, immediately.

But just as his foot was about to touch the ground, he froze as if he had been frozen in place, and his head suddenly jerked up.

Is there a power outage?

She instinctively stretched out her five fingers, but the surroundings were so dark that she couldn't see anything.

It was still broad daylight when I woke up, and the sun was shining brightly outside the window!

Her heart clenched instantly, and a wave of unease washed over her, bringing with it extreme fear.

She frantically groped around in her surroundings.

What about Zeng Meiyu?

Liu Sisi couldn't remember how she got into the ward; she only vaguely recalled the chaotic scene before she fainted.

"Hello, hello, Sisi?" At this moment, a hoarse and somewhat unreal voice rang in my ears, as if it were drifting from a distant place.

Liu Sisi's legs were still dangling over the edge of the hospital bed, and the cold air seeped into her trouser legs.

She trembled, her mind racing. "Can...can I come see you?"

Thinking of Xie Xue, Liu Sisi felt another wave of fear.

She still vividly remembers the conflict that occurred outside the operating room.

If they were to meet again, Xie Xue would definitely do everything in her power to prevent her from seeing Lin Xuedong.

How can I avoid her?

Given her current condition, with her eyes frequently failing her vision, would she be able to see the man she longs for?

In the darkness, Liu Sisi was once again plunged into loneliness and helplessness.

She didn't want Zeng Meiyu to worry, but she also desperately wanted to see Lin Xuedong to make sure he was alright.

She became even more anxious and at a loss.

"No rush, Sisi, is Mom with you? Give her the phone."

"No, tell me first, how are you now? I'm so worried about you." Liu Sisi shook her head vigorously; she wanted to hear his voice.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know where to begin.

Immediately afterwards, two soft coughs were heard, the sound like heavy hammer blows to Liu Sisi's ears, making her heart tremble. "Sisi, I'm not in S City."

"What?!" The phone almost slipped from Liu Sisi's fingers. She frantically raised her other hand and barely managed to steady the phone.

Her face turned deathly pale, her eyes reddened with anxiety, and her voice cracked as she spoke: "Why does your voice sound so different? What's wrong with you? Don't hide it from me!"

The image of Lin Xuedong's almost transparent face after being stabbed flashed through my mind, as if the light of his life would dissipate at any moment, and his whole body would turn to ashes in the next second.

Now, hearing that hoarse and indistinguishable voice, and knowing that the other person was not in S City, Liu Sisi felt her hands and feet turn cold, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight up to her heart.

An ominous premonition kept spreading in her heart, wave after wave, impacting her nerves.

There was another long silence on the other end of the phone.

Liu Sisi's heart leaped into her throat, and she almost gritted her teeth to pieces. "Speak up! What happened?"

After a long silence, a sigh seemed to come from the other end, filled with exhaustion and reluctance: "The injury is quite severe, and it's difficult to treat in China. I'm in... France."

"France?" Liu Sisi murmured unconsciously, her mind a blur.

How many days had she been asleep? When she woke up, Lin Xuedong had not only survived, but had even gone to France for further medical treatment?

This sounds absolutely unbelievable.

However, at this moment, the most important thing for Liu Sisi is that he is safe and sound.

Because her heart was filled with longing for that man, Liu Sisi had no time to think about the strangeness of the situation.

She held her breath, gripping her phone tightly as if it were her lifeline: "I want to see you, is that alright?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and every breath that flowed seemed so precious, like a messenger of life, bringing Liu Sisi a glimmer of hope.

She could clearly hear the cry from the depths of her heart.

She longed to have superpowers, like the heroes in mythology, who could break through the stagnant air and cross mountains and rivers with a mere thought, appearing instantly beside Lin Xuedong like a bolt of lightning.

She wanted to tell him in person that she wasn't leaving, and that no matter what difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, she would never leave him again.

The man on the other end of the phone had a deep brow crease, and his dark eyes were fixed on the woman on the monitor, who was eagerly anticipating meeting "Lin Xuedong," without blinking.

After a long pause, he slowly raised his hand, the tiny, intricate device gleaming coldly under the light. The bulging veins on the back of his hand and his white knuckles seemed to tell of his inner struggle and pain.

Finally, he brought the device close to his Adam's apple and said in a very soft voice, "Okay, wait for my instructions."

Liu Sisi straightened her back, and the solemnity on her face instantly dissipated, as if the gloom had been instantly dispelled by the sunlight.

She was so anxious that she even forgot to ask about the specifics of the situation over there. "Then, we have to hurry!"

"Okay," the other person replied, their voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of bitterness.

Perhaps because she had made contact with "Lin Xuedong", Liu Sisi's tense nerves relaxed a little, and her expression finally calmed down.

In the bathroom, the water was flowing gently.

Warm water splashed onto her face, and as she wiped away the droplets, she was surprised to find that her vision was gradually clearing up again. Through the hazy mist, she could at least sense faint light and shadow.

Liu Sisi was delighted and went out to call out to Zeng Meiyu.

By this time, Zeng Meiyu had already prepared a lavish breakfast for her. Seeing her come out of the bathroom, she quickly went over to help her, asking, "Are you hungry?"

"Mom, I want to see the attending physician."

"Hmm." Zeng Meiyu paused slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes, but she did not show much surprise.

She helped Liu Sisi slowly walk to the dining table and watched her sit down.

As Liu Sisi sat there, pretending to fumble for something to eat, Zeng Meiyu handed her a bowl of hot porridge: "You were unconscious for 5 days before waking up, and you're still weak. Eat something first."

"Thank you, Mom." Liu Sisi frowned slightly, but didn't say much, silently eating her porridge spoonful by spoonful.

As I walked out of the doctor's office and past a row of glass windows in the corridor, the sky outside seemed overcast.

Zeng Meiyu pushed the wheelchair, each step was particularly heavy, and even her breathing sounded suppressed.

Liu Sisi sat quietly in her wheelchair.

It turned out that he had been in a coma in the hospital for 5 days.

In those five days, the world seemed to have changed, but she was completely unaware.

The doctor's words still echoed in her ears: she had a chronic cervical spine injury that was compressing her nerves and intermittently affecting her perception. Coupled with her previous emotional distress, she might even experience hallucinations for a considerable period of time.

The news weighed heavily on her heart like a stone.

“It was too chaotic at the time. If it weren’t for Mr. Li and Xiao Du, I would have been caught off guard that day.” Zeng Meiyu’s sigh, filled with heartache and self-blame, came from above. She sounded tired and helpless. “His mother kept the news under wraps. She probably doesn’t want us to get involved with A Dong anymore.”

As Liu Sisi listened, she subconsciously frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

Various clues pieced together in her mind as she tried to recall everything that happened outside the operating room before she fainted.

Xie Xue went to great lengths to suppress the news in order to stabilize the Lin family, which is understandable.

But then she thought about the "Lin Xuedong" she had contacted after waking up. Although the voice sounded familiar, it also seemed a little different.

Could it be that something unspeakable happened during the five days he was unconscious?

What happened to Lin Xuedong?

"Mom, could you call Assistant Xiao for me?"

The wheelchair stopped abruptly. A hint of reluctance flashed across Zeng Meiyu's face, but Liu Sisi didn't see it. "Didn't you already contact Adong?"

"he......"

“You two need to focus on getting better now. Once your condition stabilizes, you can go see A-Dong.” Zeng Meiyu’s eyes darted around, her tone a mix of comfort and reassurance, as she interrupted Liu Sisi. “Mr. Li said he’ll help us, so just stay here and relax…”
