Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 561 Possession (3)_1

"Youyou, it hurts, doesn’t it? Don’t cry, I’ll always be by your side. Besides, it’s just vomiting blood. Starting tomorrow, let’s eat more, and you’ll regain your strength. Are you still in pain?" Zhuge Feng’s eyes shimmered with moisture as he drew close to Shangguan You, watching the tears in her eyes.

He reached out, gently wiping away her sweat. His harmless-looking face bore a tender smile. It was the same kind of smile, the same gentle gaze she remembered from when she first met him.

Shangguan You shook her head, her hoarse voice emerging, "I’m fine, just tired."

"If you’re tired, then rest. I’ll always stay by your side, waiting for you to wake up," Zhuge Feng said softly, his large hand gently stroking her hair.

The four members of the Luo Family, along with Lan Xuan and Han Yachu, looked on in surprise at Zhuge Feng and Shangguan You. What had just happened? Why had Shangguan You suddenly vomited blood and been in such pain? No one knew. However, seeing how tenderly Zhuge Feng looked at Shangguan You, and the complete trust in her eyes as she looked back at him, a faint twinge of sorrow flashed across the faces of the Luo brothers, as well as Lan Xuan, Han Yachu, and their two companions.

"Mhm," Shangguan You replied softly, her eyes slowly closing as she fainted.

"Sleep. I’ll always be with you. I will protect you," Zhuge Feng whispered as he watched her faint. Then, with a loud cry, the calmness on his face vanished, and he became frantic.

"Quick, take her to the hospital! Get her to the hospital!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

「The emergency room light at the military hospital stayed on continuously.」

In the hallway, Shangguan Zhi sat with a stern face, exuding an air of authority. His brows were tightly furrowed, and an imposing aura of suppressed fury—one that commanded respect without needing an outburst—enveloped him, mingled with a profound sense of grief.

Shangguan Hao, in his authoritative military uniform, paced back and forth in the hallway, his resolute face filled with worry. His lips were tightly pressed together, his gaze fixed intently on the emergency room door. Shangguan Yu and Liu Ruoling also paced, their hearts heavy with concern. As time ticked away, minute by minute, the hearts of the Shangguan Family members were in their throats with anxiety. Three whole hours had passed. Why hadn’t there been any news?

Luo Xiao and his son, Luo Jing, sat next to Shangguan Zhi, equally confused by Shangguan You’s sudden crisis. The Luo brothers, Luo Wu and Luo Tong, leaned against the wall, worry etched on their faces, chain-smoking one cigarette after another.

Zhuge Feng’s gaze was hollow as he stared fixedly at the emergency room door. Youyou had suffered severe internal injuries, her meridians damaged throughout her body. Lan Xuan and Han Yachu leaned against the wall, one to his left and the other to his right, their faces equally filled with concern.

A flurry of panicked footsteps approached, and five tall figures in military uniforms burst into the hallway. Their uniforms were dusty, indicating they’d been pulled from an urgent exercise by a sudden call.

"Daddy, Mommy, how is Youyou?" Shangguan Qing’s normally gentle face was now wracked with urgency. His voice reached them before he did.

The arrivals were Shangguan Qing, Yu Zifeng, and three others. Shangguan Qing had received an urgent call from home and had rushed away. Yu Zifeng and the three others, concerned, had accompanied him, not expecting to find both the Shangguan and Luo families at the hospital.

Liu Ruoling shook her head, tears spilling from her eyes involuntarily. Five hours had passed with no news. It seemed Youyou’s chances were slim.

A roar seemed to fill Shangguan Qing’s mind. He stumbled back a few steps, looking at Liu Ruoling in disbelief. After a moment, Shangguan Qing found his voice, each word heavy and deliberate.

"What exactly happened?"

"Who the hell can tell me how my perfectly healthy daughter ended up like this?!" Shangguan Hao roared, his suppressed rage finally exploding. He had wanted to wait for good news before asking, but as time passed, his despair grew heavier. Hearing Shangguan Qing’s question, Shangguan Hao could no longer hold back. The anger of a commander-in-chief is formidable, all the more so when stifled for five hours.

"Luo Wu, Luo Tong, step forward!" Shangguan Hao barked, his commanding shout echoing in the silent hospital.

"Yes, sir!" Luo Wu and Luo Tong stepped forward, snapping to attention before Shangguan Hao.

CREAK. Amid the tense atmosphere, the door to the emergency room opened. Shangguan Hao strode forward decisively, no longer concerned with the Luo brothers, and blocked the doctor’s path. The others quickly gathered around, surrounding the chief physician, who was accompanied by the hospital director.

"How is my daughter?"

Sweat beaded on the doctor’s forehead, dripping off, while the director also wore an urgent expression.

"Commander, we’ve conducted a comprehensive examination of the young lady. There is nothing physically wrong with her; she’s just a bit anemic," the doctor said.

"Bullshit! If there’s nothing wrong, why would she vomit blood? She lost so much blood, of course she’s anemic! Do you even know how to treat her?!" Luo Xiao cursed out loud. The Shangguan family’s earlier silence usually preceded an unbearable explosion, and he couldn’t withstand their fury! If only that girl Youyou was safe, their anger would surely dissipate.

The director wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth, then closed it, several times. They had tried every method, but there was simply no way to wake her up. Shangguan You appeared to be asleep, indistinguishable from someone in a deep slumber. However, while one can awaken a sleeping person, Shangguan You remained unresponsive.

The only explanation was that she had fallen into a deep coma.

"If there’s nothing wrong, when will she wake up?" Shangguan Zhi suppressed his anxiety, his voice calm. The cause didn’t matter, as long as she woke up.

"This... it’s hard to say. Perhaps tomorrow, maybe the day after. It could be a month, perhaps six months, or even longer," the director’s voice dwindled. Her bodily functions were all normal, yet they simply couldn’t wake her. The director felt like crying out loud. He had never encountered such a patient before.
