Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 683 - 280. [The Summer of Dew] As if afraid this is just a dream.

Wanxia’s first reaction was that this was a hallucination she had been experiencing lately because of her mental confusion.

What did Uncle Xu just say...

Qiu Bai... woke up?

But when she was at the hospital this afternoon, Qiu Bai still had his eyes closed without any response, and it had only been less than five hours...

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Xu could only hear the noisy sounds of car horns, without a response from Wanxia. He raised his voice, "Hello? Wanxia, are you listening?"

"Yes, Uncle Xu, I’m listening," Wanxia snapped back to reality, and her bewildered gaze found focus. She pressed her lips together, her clear eyes bright with anticipation, "Did you say... Qiu Bai woke up?"

She actually heard Mr. Xu’s words clearly, but her tone was uncertain, as if she was afraid this was just a dream.

Mr. Xu’s eyes still held the moistness of excitement, and his aged face indeed wore a smile, "Yes, yes, he woke up. The doctor is checking his body now."

It’s real.

"I’m coming over now," Wanxia’s eyes shone with joy, and she turned to walk toward the car.

She almost forgot about Jin Sinan, who was standing right in front of her, and only remembered after taking a couple of steps before breaking into a jog.

Jin Sinan knew Xia Qian and Lin Chu because they had a kind of brightness that men couldn’t take their eyes off, but he had never investigated Wanxia’s past life and circle of friends, so he naturally didn’t know who Xu Qiubai was.

Being completely ignored didn’t feel good, his dark eyes stared at the graceful figure running away, his handsome eyebrows furrowing.

Jin Sinan had long legs and a big stride; he caught up with Wanxia in a few steps and grabbed her arm with his big hand, "I haven’t finished talking, where are you going?"

Wanxia was forced to stop as the man grabbed her arm.

Only then did she remember Jin Sinan, whom she had forgotten, and looked at him apologetically, "Sorry, I have an urgent matter, we’ll talk next time."

Jin Sinan wasn’t someone who lacked insight, he could see the impatience in Wanxia’s eyes.

"Which hospital? I’ll take you there."

"No need, the driver has already brought the car out, bye-bye!"

Wanxia didn’t have the heart to explain further, brushed his large hand off her arm, gave a perfunctory wave, and got into the car.

"Back to the hospital, drive a little faster."

The bodyguard’s task in the car was to keep an eye on her, to prevent her from having the chance to leave. Everything else was subject to her instructions.

"Yes."

The dust stirred up by the tires was especially clear under the light emitted by the streetlights, and the car quickly disappeared around the corner, leaving Jin Sinan in the cold wind, baffled.

————

The car pulled up to the hospital entrance, and before it even stopped, Wanxia had already unfastened her seatbelt and pushed the door open to run inside the hospital.

The elevator was stuck on the twentieth floor, and after less than half a minute of waiting at the elevator doors, Wanxia lost her patience and chose to take the stairs.

Xu Qiubai’s ward was on the eighteenth floor.

With each flight of stairs she climbed, Wanxia could clearly feel her heart pounding faster, making her feel that she was indeed alive in this world.

Not some soulless zombie that felt nothing.

Upon reaching the eighteenth floor, Wanxia was already out of breath, with fine droplets of sweat on her forehead and a healthy glow on her cheeks, looking much healthier than before.

Wanxia stood at the door of ward 1807.

Even though she had been desperately wanting to fly over all the way here, she couldn’t even wait for the elevator. She was eager to see her best male friend: Xu Qiubai.

But when she actually stood outside the door, just needing to push it open, she inexplicably felt afraid.

How... how should she face Qiu Bai?

Mr. Xu, who had kept vigil at his son’s bedside for a thousand nights, had been in a state of excitement ever since seeing his son open his eyes, unable to sit still.

He had just returned from the doctor’s office and was only in the ward for less than ten minutes, "Son, do you want to drink some water?"

Without waiting for Xu Qiubai to answer, he stood up on his own, "Wait a moment, dad will go get a jug of hot water."

Leaning on the headboard, Xu Qiubai felt both helpless and amused.

Mr. Xu opened the ward door and was startled by Wanxia standing there, "Hey! Wanxia, how come you’re standing at the door not coming in? Perfect timing, this brat thinks I’m nagging, you help uncle teach him well. Uncle will go to the tea room and get some hot water to make tea for you."

Wanxia was also startled, a bit dazed, "Oh, okay."

Mr. Xu patted Wanxia on the shoulder and then left the ward, humming an unknown tune to himself, even his steps appearing much lighter.
