306 Awake
It would be a stain on both Chen Zheng and Lu Shuang’s reputation if she were to expose the old incident, but He Miao felt that Xia Yan had the right to know the whole truth.
Lu Shuang’s eyes were wide open as she warned her, “Xia Yan must never find out about this. Otherwise, she’ll definitely make the same mistake. Chen Zheng isn’t a man worthy of trust. He can’t afford to take on the responsibility of a family at all. Everything I’m doing is for Xia Yan’s own good!”
In the eyes of others, Chen Zheng was a humble and loyal child. His determination to give up everything to save his sister was worthy of everyone’s admiration. However, it was precisely because he cared too much about his sister that Lu Shuang could not accept it.
It was because she had long seen through this man. His heart was too small, so small that it could only accommodate his sister. Compared to Chen Xiang, Xia Yan was just a commodity that could be used for trade.
A few years ago, she had used money to confirm this guess, so even after a few years, she still insisted on her own view. Chen Zheng was undoubtedly a genius in business, but he did not know what love was.
Xia Yan would only suffer if she followed him.
He Miao did not comment. She did not understand that Chen Zheng was unable to make a decision for Xia Yan, so she could only calm Lu Shuang’s emotions for the time being. “Don’t get too worked up yet. I won’t tell Xia Yan about this and I won’t tell you my decision now either. Please give me some time. I want to wait for Xia Yan to wake up and ask her about this in person, okay?”
Lu Shuang also knew that she could not make a decision for Xia Yan in this matter. If she interfered too much, the relationship between the mother and daughter, which had finally eased, would become like fire and water. She could only rub her brows tiredly and nod. “Alright, but you have to promise me that you won’t reveal a single word to Xia Yan before that.”
“Alright, I promise you. Yes,” He Miao replied in a low voice. She turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Jing Yan was waiting at the door of the next ward, but Chen Zheng and Lin Fei were nowhere to be found.
Seeing her come out, Jing Yan walked over anxiously. He walked past her and greeted Lu Shuang, who was behind her. Then, he looked at her worriedly and said, “Why do you look so pale? What happened?”
“No, we were just casually chatting.” He Miao shook her head lightly and pulled Jing Yan’s finger to point at the time on his watch. “Don’t you have something to do? Why don’t you go back first?”
Jing Yan pursed his lips and did not want to leave, but there was no place for him to rest in the hospital. He could only nod and say, “Okay, then take care of yourself. I’ll come and see you after I’m done.”
“Alright,” she said.
After sending Jing Yan off, He Miao and Lu Shuang returned to the ward. At this time, two nurses were wiping Xia Yan’s body and cleaning the bloodstains that had not been cleaned.
Although the car accident was not fatal, it had caused great damage to Xia Yan’s body. Looking at the bandages all over her body, Lu Shuang’s eyes turned red again.
He Miao held her arm gently and comforted her in a low voice, “Auntie, you should go and sleep for a while. I’m here.”
“No need,” Lu Shuang wiped her tears and shook her head. “Go home with your friend first. I’ll take care of things here.”
“I want to see Yanyan wake up with my own eyes.” He Miao sighed and helped her to a chair. She then looked at Xu Meng and said, “You must be famished. I’ll go buy something to eat. I’ll get the driver to send you home after you’re done.”
Xu Meng nodded and obediently did not raise any objections. She knew that He Miao’s mood must be low right now, and she was the only one who could be by her side now.
While she went out to buy food, He Miao gave He Chen a call and explained the situation. He Chen was silent for a moment, then he ordered the housekeeper to send some daily necessities to the ward. He even carefully asked someone to bring a few blankets to prevent He Miao from catching a cold at night.
Fortunately, Xia Yan woke up in the middle of the night. At that time, He Miao and Xu Meng were sitting on the sofa and chatting with each other under the blanket. Jing Yan was warming milk for them while Lu Shuang was sleeping soundly beside the bed. She suddenly felt a slight movement in the arm that she was holding and instantly woke up from her sleep.
Seeing her open her confused eyes, Lu Shuang smiled in surprise and said, “Baby, you’re finally awake!”
He Miao and the others heard this and happily surrounded her. They did not dare to shout for fear of disturbing the person who had just woken up from a coma, so they could only lower their voices and laugh. “Yanyan, you’re finally awake. Do you want to drink some water to moisten your throat?”
“I…” Xia Yan frowned and endured the pain in her body. She looked at the happy faces on the bed and suddenly asked in confusion, “Do I know you? Who are you? What am I doing here?”
Her words made everyone’s heart sink. Lu Shuang shook her head in disbelief and held her daughter’s almost transparent hand tightly. “Yanyan, I’m your mother. Don’t you recognize your mother?”
“Mom?” Xia Yan frowned and looked at the middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup. She shook her head gently and said, “I’m sorry, I really can’t remember.”
