In the hospital room, having received the news that her father had woken up, Keiko and Keiko's mother had already rushed to the hospital and were now calling out to Keiko's father by his bedside.

"Honey, can you hear me speaking?" Keiko's mother grasped her husband's hand, calling out to him over and over again. Seeing her husband's eyes opening to look at her after a long year, she couldn't help but shed tears, almost crying a river.

Meanwhile, Keiko was also tightly gripping her father's arm, fearing that it was all just a dream. She excitedly called out to him, "Daddy, it's me, Keiko! Can you hear my voice?"

It seemed that his daughter's voice especially caught Keiko's father's attention and excited him. He tried very hard to turn his neck, but having been asleep for an entire year, he was still unable to control his body well, awkwardly stretching his neck like someone severely paralyzed, barely managing to turn his eyes in Keiko's direction, making only indistinct noises from his throat.

Unable to respond to his daughter's calls, Keiko's father became visibly anxious. Suddenly his whole body started convulsing as it was clear he desperately wanted to respond to his daughter's calls, but his stiff body prevented him from doing so, leaving him to struggle futilely on the hospital bed. Yet his limbs would not obey him, still showing no response.

This situation immediately made him agitated. His facial expressions twitched, his eyes blinked incessantly, his body shook uncontrollably, and he even turned his face red, causing his veins to bulge.

Seeing this, Yu Chen hurried over to soothe Keiko's father's emotions, and said to Hiromi Jounouchi, "Hiromi, give him a sedative. He's just woken up and shouldn't get too worked up."

Hearing Yu Chen's words, Hiromi Jounouchi also quickly prepared the sedative from a nearby medication cart and injected it into Keiko's father's arm, which soon calmed him down.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my dad?" Witnessing this scene, Keiko was somewhat puzzled, but out of concern for her father, she hurriedly inquired of Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi.

"Your father has just awoken, his body hasn't recovered yet, that's why he can't do many things, including speaking, which is why he is like this now," Yu Chen explained. Seeing the sedative take effect and Keiko's father gradually calming down, he then said to Keiko and her mother, who was also anxiously watching, "Since his body is still regaining its functions and hasn't adapted yet, we can't let his emotions get too excited for the time being. When you communicate with him, you must be very careful about this and soothe his emotions, ensuring he does not become agitated."

"Oh, we understand, thank you, Doctor!" Keiko's mother promptly responded, then turned to look at her husband on the bed, who was staring at her and her daughter. She quickly said to him, "Did you hear that, honey? The doctor said you've just woken up and can't get too excited, so don't get too agitated! Keiko and I are here, we'll be with you! You need to get better soon, we're all waiting for you to come home!"

"Daddy, you need to get better quickly! I've missed you so much!" Keiko clung to the bed's railing, looking at her father, feeling the gaze from his eyes, and finally sensing that her father had returned; his eyes were no longer lifeless as they had been throughout the year, but were truly looking at her.

And without a doubt, this gaze was also telling Keiko that her father really had come back.

Keiko stayed to accompany her father, while Keiko's mother joined Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi in the corridor outside the hospital room.

"The patient has just awakened, and both his consciousness and body have not fully recovered, one could even say his condition is quite poor. As family members, you should talk to him more, even if he can't respond or react, keep talking," Yu advised Keiko's mother, informing her of some precautions, "Also, you can bring some of his old photos to show him, especially those with deep impressions and special significance. These can stimulate his memory and brain activity, helping him to recover consciousness better.

In addition, I hope you are prepared mentally; a person waking up from a vegetative state does not mean the end but rather just the beginning. Those who recover from a vegetative state need a long time for rehabilitation. He is like a newborn baby who needs to relearn how to control his body and coordinate movements, and all of this is inseparable from the care and support of the family. So, you must be mentally prepared, as patients in this state require much more care than when they were in a vegetative state."

"Thank you, Doctor, I will do my best!" Keiko's mother took Yu's words to heart and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

"Don't mention it, it's part of our job. As long as you don't give up and actively cooperate with the treatment, I believe we can definitely cure Mr. Kobayashi. Let's work hard together!" Yu encouraged Keiko's mother before he and Hiromi turned to leave.

On the way back to the office, Hiromi looked at the examination report in her hand and said to Yu, "It seems the potion stimulated his brain's supplementary cells, causing some brain cells to mutate and simultaneously stimulating the awakening of his consciousness. But his consciousness is recovering quickly; today, he has already recognized his wife and daughter. That's not a common recovery speed for people coming out of a vegetative state."

"The potion itself is designed to promote cell repair. Under its effects, his brain cells have undergone some degree of repair, which has aided in the recovery of his consciousness. It's not that surprising that he has such a speedy recovery." Yu, who was also examining the results of Keiko's father's check-up, was intensely intrigued by the research possibilities that the Dragon Blood Potion opened up, awakening individuals from vegetative states. He couldn't wait to figure out exactly how this came about.

As the two of them were walking to the office, they suddenly saw Qingdai approaching them.

With the appearance of Qingdai, the expression on Hiromi's face suddenly changed. She had never had a good impression of this strange woman and had always been extremely wary of her.

Yu held the same attitude. Although Qingdai seemed to have confessed something last time, it did not mean she was trustworthy. It only made Yu more cautious of her.

However, Qingdai could naturally see the attitude of Yu and Hiromi, so she just smiled at Yu and said, "Congratulations, Professor Chen, on waking up a vegetative person who had been in a coma for a year, you've created a new medical miracle," before turning away and leaving.
