The cold wind crept in through the small window gap, making the blue curtains sway.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower. With the sound of the wind blowing from outside, the corridor seemed even quieter and suffocating.

Su Nan was getting tired after all that crying. She left some wet spots on Xi Xiaye’s shirt with her tears, and her voice turned hoarse as well.

Mu Lingshi grabbed Ah Mo’s arm as her eyes were transfixed on the doors of the operating theatre. In return, he held her hand tightly.

It was as if several centuries had passed. Su Nan was on the verge of breaking down when the light on top of the operating theatre was switched off. People came streaming out of the room and the group quickly rushed forward.

Su Nan leaped forward and looked at the bed frantically as she asked in her hoarse voice, “How is it? How’s my husband? How is he?”

Xi Xiaye and Ah Mo were watching the doctor nervously as well.

The doctor stopped before them and slowly removed his mask. He looked at them with a grim expression. After a while, he said, “The situation is bad. The patient suffered multiple fractures. Whether he can survive this or not depends entirely on him. Even if he can get through this, he might not have any senses anymore, which means he’ll stay in a vegetative state. I recommend you to be mentally prepared.”

That was a heavy message for them to take in.

Su Nan’s face turned pale. In the next moment, she fainted.

“Nannan!”

“Su Nan!”

Xi Xiaye and Mu Lingshi freaked out. Fortunately, Ah Mo was quick enough to grab Su Nan’s arms before she fell down.

Since Su Nan had lost consciousness, the doctor took a look at her as well.

“She passed out due to overwhelming sorrow,” announced the doctor as he looked at Xi Xiaye and the others. “You all need to be mentally prepared. Going through something like this, she might…”

Xi Xiaye left Su Nan to Ah Mo. Her face was extremely pale while she tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart. She then took a deep breath and asked the doctor, “Is there no other way? As long as it can help, we’ll do anything! He just became a father recently… He has a cute daughter, and he still has parents to take care of… Doctor, please do something to wake him up, please!”

The doctor nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best. Now, it depends on his own will. Waking up after sustaining such a heavy injury is difficult, especially when there’s heavy damage to his head. However, it’s not impossible. There are many cases like this where the patients regained consciousness, so you guys need to be mentally prepared and be positive. This can affect the patient as well.”

Xi Xiaye nodded.

“Send the patient back to the intensive care unit room now. The upcoming 32 hours will be critical.” The doctor then signaled the nurse to send Ruan Heng away.

Because Su Nan was unconscious, Xi Xiaye asked Ah Mo to bring her to rest in the ward while Ruan Heng was sent into the intensive care unit room.

Outside the corridor, Xi Xiaye was looking at Ruan Heng’s lifeless body through the window. Her heart was strained as she turned to look at Su Nan who had fallen comatose on the big sofa beside her.

After some time, she sighed and turned towards Ah Mo and Lingshi. “Ah Mo, I’ll leave the investigations up to you. Lingshi, you haven’t taken any breaks for several days. Get some rest at home. I’ll stay here with Nannan. Tell Zitong to come to the hospital tomorrow. I’ll give Ruan Heng’s mother a call later.”

“No, I should stay here. You should go back and rest. It’s 4 a.m. in the morning. Think about this child in your womb. You look exhausted. Brother definitely won’t let us get away with it if he found out we haven’t been taking good care of you! I’m young and energetic, so it’s fine,” Mu Lingshi rejected Xi Xiaye’s idea instantly.

Xi Xiaye shook her head stubbornly. “I’m fine, I’ll wait until the morning and see how Ruan Heng is doing. No matter what, I should be here for Su Nan. Ah Mo, delay the meeting for tomorrow. Contact the doctors from Hospital T and see if they can come up with the best recovery plan for Ruan Heng.”

Ah Mo nodded. “Yes, leave it to me, Missus.”

Xi Xiaye did not say anything more. She closed her eyes and sat down beside Su Nan.

Ah Mo traded glances with Mu Lingshi. They nodded at each other before he instructed two bodyguards to come up. Then, he then with Mu Lingshi.

Half an hour later, Mu Lingshi came back with two thick, clean blankets while the bodyguard behind her had some food boxes with him.

“Sis-in-law, put these on. It’s still pretty cold in here even with the air-conditioning turned off. You must be hungry now. Eat something. The little baby inside you might complain soon.”

Mu Lingshi took Su Nan’s bloody coat off and put a blanket over her. She then prepared a bowl of porridge for Xi Xiaye, Xi Xiaye took it, but she was still staring at Ruan Heng on the bed.

“Don’t worry too much. I’m sure Ruan Heng will be blessed and he’ll be fine. Stay strong for Su Nan’s sake. Didn’t the doctor say that there’s hope? If he can hold on for the upcoming 32 hours, he has a solid chance at regaining consciousness.”

Mu Lingshi was not very good at comforting, but her expression clouded over when she looked at Ruan Heng.

“Mmm, I believe it too. I’ll call Su Nan’s mother in the morning. Su Nan must be exhausted.” Xi Xiaye was worried.

Mu Lingshi’s eyes turned broody as she turned her head towards Su Nan.
