Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Yu looked at Xi Cheng with teary eyes and said plaintively, “Xi Cheng, don’t worry. Mom will definitely wake up. Definitely!”

Xi Cheng hugged Lin Yu gently, saying, “It’s been hard on you. I’m sorry.” Hearing that, Lin Yu hugged Xi Cheng tightly and sobbed. She really didn’t need much; all she needed was a little bit of warmth and a sense of security. Since no one else could give it to her, she could only seek it herself. No one knew the pain in her heart.

Xi Cheng felt a tug on the corner of his shirt and thought his shirt had caught on something on the side of the bed, so he quickly reached out to pull it free. He abruptly saw Han Yuan staring at him when he turned around.

Xi Cheng pushed Lin Yu away and leaned over to look at Han Yuan in delighted surprise. “Mom! You’re awake!”

Lin Yu just stood there, scared out of her wits. “Hurry up and call the doctor!” Xi Cheng shouted at her, and she ran out automatically, her mind blank.

Han Yuan had woken up. After a flurry of tests, the doctor concluded that though Han Yuan had woken up, she hadn’t recovered her verbal ability, and other than her two left fingers that could make simple movements, the rest of her body remained immobile. However, this result was already very gratifying. The doctor believed Madam Xi would definitely make better progress in her recovery with intensive care and treatment.

Xi Cheng looked toward Lin Yu excitedly and was surprised to see her curled up in a corner, dull-eyed and pale-faced. She’d broken out in a cold sweat and was trembling. “Lin Yu? Lin Yu?” He called out twice before Lin Yu realized it and turned around to meet his gaze. She subconsciously shivered and stuttered, “N-No, i-it’s not—”

Xi Cheng held Lin Yu’s arms, overjoyed. “Lin Yu, Mom’s awake. Thank you for caring for her. Mom will definitely get better!”

The doctor beside them sighed, “Ms. Lin played a huge role in helping the madam wake up. I believe she’ll make greater progress in her recovery given time!”

Xi Cheng embraced Lin Yu. “Thank you, Lin Yu! Thank you!”

Lin Yu’s brain slowly made sense of what everyone was saying around her, and she finally understood what was going on. She looked at Han Yuan, who was glaring at her on the hospital bed. The woman’s eyes flashed dangerously at her, but she still lay helpless on the bed. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝒎

Lin Yu’s heart finally resumed its slow beating. She lightly—very lightly— heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like a prisoner on death row who’d received a stay of execution. free webnov el.com

For the first time, Xi Cheng stayed overnight in the hospital to accompany her. Han Yuan’s eyes alternated between looking at her son and following Lin Yu, while Lin Yu busied herself around the place. She didn’t stop or even meet Han Yuan’s gaze.

In the meantime, Xi Cheng rambled on to Han Yuan about how Lin Yu had cared for her these past few days. Lin Yu glanced at Xi Cheng from time to time, thinking, ‘So, he does know and remember the good I’ve done for them. Was I overthinking things? He’s not fooling around with someone else outside?

Xi Cheng was tired. He stood up, patted Lin Yu’s shoulder, and said, “Mom keeps staring at you. I think you’re the one she dotes on the most. I’m going to rest for a while. You can accompany Mom.”

Lin Yu gently replied, “Go get some sleep. I’ll take care of Mom. Don’t stay up late; you still have work tomorrow.”

Xi Cheng turned back to glance at Han Yuan and nodded. He lowered his head to kiss Lin Yu and stated, “I’ll go and sleep for a while.”

After Xi Cheng left, Lin Yu slowly walked to Han Yuan’s bedside and sat down. “Mom, don’t worry. You’ll definitely get better. Look! You’re awake now, aren’t you? I will definitely do a good job caring for you,” Lin Yu tenderly remarked.

Han Yuan glared at Lin Yu, her eyes almost spitting fire. Lin Yu lowered her own eyes and smiled faintly. “Xi Cheng has told you that we’d already held our wedding. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was very familiar with everything you’ve prepared for us, and the wedding went smoothly. Everyone praised Xi Cheng and I for being such sensible and good children, using our wedding to help you ward off ill health. It seems that these things are very effective. You woke up, didn’t you?”

Han Yuan’s breathing became a little heavy. “That day, Aunt Xu Yun, Aunt Kong Zhen, and Aunt Lu Ying all brought their sons and daughters-in-law to attend our wedding. They said they were there to witness the wedding in your stead,” Lin Yu continued.

“Auntie Lu Ying even used our wedding to help Ye Kun and Fang Xi clear their names. No one says that Fang Xi is a hussy or a homewrecker now. Instead, they call Xi Cheng a heartless playboy. And me? Why, I’m the conniving schemer who would do anything to marry Xi Cheng,” Lin Yu calmly commented. Han Yuan’s eyes flashed, but she couldn’t speak.

Lin Yu reached out to tuck in her blanket and whispered, “You don’t have to be angry. I’m not angry; no matter what, I’m now officially a member of the Xi family. You’ve taught me before that those who wish to achieve great things shouldn’t be bothered by trifles..”
