Hua Xiaomo’s entire nervous system was severely jolted as she thought about what the doctor had said. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"How many days will it take for him to wake up? It might be a month, or even a year or two... Oh my god, what does this mean? Isn’t this saying he’s been reduced to a vegetative state?" Hua Xiaomo muttered to herself.

Her eyes were full of pain. I can’t accept this reality, especially when I was about to marry Zi Yunsui! Why did this happen? This is just too sad. Why?

Hua Xiaomo’s eyes turned entirely red, and Ye Xiangxue quickly went over to support her shoulder.

"Hua Xiaomo, don’t be sad. I believe Zi Yunsui will get better. How about we go in and visit him in a bit?" Ye Xiangxue said hastily. He was really afraid that Hua Xiaomo might suffer another blow.

He realized that Hua Xiaomo was already having a very hard time. What would he do if she suffered another blow? And the company needed someone to help it carry on!

"Thank you, Ye Xiangxue, I’m fine. But Zi Yunsui... Zi Yunsui is still so young; he shouldn’t have suffered this kind of injury!" Hua Xiaomo thought, starting to blame herself again.

"It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t asked him to come back for dinner tonight, maybe he wouldn’t have rushed back in his car."

"Don’t blame yourself anymore. This has nothing to do with you. When it comes to natural disasters and accidents, nobody can escape when it’s their turn," Ye Xiangxue comforted her. He was truly at a loss for words to comfort her or express his feelings at that moment.

He just felt that sometimes, when a disaster is about to strike, there is no way for people to avoid it.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t say a word. Her gaze became very heavy, and her arms began to tremble slightly, while a cold sweat broke out on her back.

Before long, Hua Xiaomo changed clothes, put on the hospital garb designed to isolate germs, and walked into the sickroom.

When she saw Zi Yunsui lying on the hospital bed, her eyes reddened instantly, tears welling and falling unconsciously.

"Zi Yunsui, I’ve come to see you. I’m Hua Xiaomo. Do you remember me? You have to wake up quickly, okay?" Hua Xiaomo approached and gently took his hand that was resting outside the covers, looking at his handsome face. Suddenly, she felt it was all her fault.

If only I had responded to him sooner, perhaps today’s car accident wouldn’t have happened! she thought.

But her questions went unanswered; the man on the bed was destined to lie quietly.

Hua Xiaomo gazed at his face. In that moment, she felt He truly is the best man in the world. And yet, have I missed out on him once again? I can’t even accompany him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate.

She had contemplated this before, but why couldn’t it be realized?

Perhaps it’s true what they say: you only realize what’s most precious after you’ve lost it. And now, I can never get that preciousness back, she thought.

Hua Xiaomo’s tears streamed down, quickly wetting her face. Her heart ached as she grasped his hand, watching him lie unresponsive on the bed. She couldn’t fathom how heartbroken she was at that moment, yet she still harbored hope for a miracle. She wished he would wake up soon.

"Zi Yunsui, I know you must have so much to say to me, but I’m really upset. I want to hear you, so you must wake up, understand?

"Moreover, I will fulfill the promise I made to you. Once you recover, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage, and then, we’ll have a grand wedding ceremony. And Candy... Candy, do you remember? You love Candy so much; how can you bear to see her sad?"

As Hua Xiaomo spoke, she couldn’t stop the tears, her heart tormented beyond words.

She felt an unbearable pain in her chest. It’s like a fishbone caught in my throat—I can’t swallow it, and it’s too difficult to spit out. Eventually, her eyes grew sore, and tears welled up again.

Thinking of Candy brought to mind all the kindness Zi Yunsui had shown to the little girl. For five years, Zi Yunsui had cared for Candy as if Candy were his own child, always so dedicated and responsible, and Candy was very fond of him.

But what has all of this come to now? Is everything destined to be lost? She felt deeply wounded as she gently touched Zi Yunsui’s face.

"I’m sorry, Zi Yunsui. Maybe if you weren’t with me, you wouldn’t have suffered what’s happened now. Zi Yunsui, if you’re willing to give me another chance to atone, please wake up quickly. As long as you wake up, can we stay together forever?" Hua Xiaomo’s tears fell once again. She cried fiercely, knowing that no matter what, she had to keep living well.

And she also had to make him wake up; he absolutely must.

At that moment, Ye Xiangxue, unbeknownst to her, stood by her side. He looked at Hua Xiaomo’s expression and suddenly understood his (Zi Yunsui’s) feelings for her (Hua Xiaomo).

Perhaps they could have found happiness together, but due to many uncertain factors, they had ultimately missed their chance.

Fate was too cruel to them. Why couldn’t Hua Xiaomo ever get what she wished for?

It was like this when she was with Qi Longbing. Now, having finally met a boy who truly liked her, this boy could no longer provide her with happiness.

She was to become alone once more.

Hua Xiaomo, life has been too hard on you. Xiao Mo, you’ve suffered so much, Ye Xiangxue thought with deep sympathy, placing a hand on Hua Xiaomo’s shoulder and looking into her eyes.

"Xiao Mo, don’t be too sad. Didn’t you just hear what the doctor said? He might wake up in a few days," Ye Xiangxue tried to comfort her.

Hua Xiaomo managed a smile. That’s just the doctor’s way of placating me, she knew. Otherwise, why would they say it might take months or even years? Years! He’s only 23. Waiting years would waste his youth! He’s such a promising young man, and the general manager of his company. His future was boundless, yet it’s ruined by this damned accident.

Is this sadness? Pain? Helplessness? Or resignation? I can’t articulate it... But I know I can’t fall. I must fight on, build a future for him, hold up the sky for both of us, and for Candy too.
