Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Will Strive to Return Everything to the Way it Was Before

“Tuantuan and the Xie Family members are all by his side, don’t get agitated, just wait here for them to bring Yanchuan back,”

Xu Jinzhi wanted to say something more, but she had just been too emotional, and the doctor had given her a tranquilizer, which was gradually taking effect. Lying on the hospital bed now, Xu Jinzhi had lost all her strength.

But she believed that her father would never deceive her with such a matter.

If it were a lie, she would definitely break down completely.

Xu Zhen would never deceive her with such a thing!

So it was true that Yanchuan had awakened!

Xu Jinzhi pursed her lips, silently shedding tears.

Xu Zhen was also very emotional, happy that Yanchuan had finally awakened but distressed to see his daughter tormenting herself.

He reached out his hand, using his somewhat rough fingertips to wipe away the tears at the corners of Xu Jinzhi’s eyes, “Everything is over, things will get better.”

Xu Zhen knew that as long as Yanchuan awakened, everything would start to get better.

Everything would slowly go back to how it used to be.

Xu Jinzhi, utterly exhausted, closed her eyes, and amidst the myriad complex emotions deep in her heart, only one thought remained—that it was good Yanchuan had awakened.

On the other side, Yanchuan was cooperating with the doctor for a check-up.

He had just awakened and was quite weak, even unable to walk because he had been in bed for a long time.

But his motor nerves were not damaged; after all, while Xu Jinzhi was suffering from gastric bleeding, he had struggled to get off the bed.

It was also because he had disentangled his monitoring device, which suddenly triggered an alarm, drawing doctors over—and this discovery allowed them to find the unconscious Xu Jinzhi due to gastric bleeding, and that he had finally awakened.

After a series of examinations, Yanchuan was completely exhausted, his whole body slumped in a wheelchair.

Yet Yanchuan was still thinking about Xu Jinzhi. Although he had agreed to undergo the examination after her condition had stabilized, he was still worried about her, always keeping her in his thoughts.

Strangely enough, during his “unconscious” period, he was aware of everything that happened at home.

Thus, he knew about the day and night breakdowns of Xu Jinzhi.

Now that the examination was over, Yanchuan wanted nothing more than to return to Xu Jinzhi’s side.

Before Yanchuan could say anything, Xie Xingchuan hurriedly said, “We’ll take you to your sister-in-law’s ward right away; don’t worry.”

Yanchuan didn’t say a word, just smiled at Xie Xingchuan.

The other Xie Family members were also around, and Yanchuan smiled at them as well, knowing he had caused them worry.

Soon, Yanchuan was taken back. Though Xu Jinzhi had been given a tranquilizer in the ward, she wasn’t asleep. Hearing the movement, she instinctively looked over.

Then she saw Yanchuan, sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed in.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t speak, Yanchuan didn’t speak, and the others didn’t know what to say either, their eyes just silently reddening.

They comforted themselves even as they felt sad that everything was already past.

Actually, some people should have stayed in the ward at that time, but they wanted to leave space for the couple, and eventually, they all left the room.

Only Xu Jinzhi and Yanchuan were left in the ward.

They just looked at each other, neither saying a word.

At the beginning when Yanchuan was first in trouble, especially when Xu Jinzhi found out Yanchuan had intentionally hidden it from her, she was really angry, thinking that she would never forgive Yanchuan.

But as time passed day by day, Xu Jinzhi had long since stopped being angry.

Now that Xie Yanchuan had finally awakened, Xu Jinzhi had no more words left to say; nothing was more important than the awakening of Xie Yanchuan.

However, Xie Yanchuan felt some regret when he looked at Xu Jinzhi because, during the time he was “unconscious,” he had seen firsthand how distressed and broken Xu Jinzhi had been.

He watched her unable to eat, watched her spend countless sleepless nights, watched her gradually weaken.

He watched her drinking excessively, watched her gradually lose her vital life force day by day.

Xie Yanchuan felt terrible, as he wanted Xu Jinzhi to live well.

But she tormented herself so much, and although it pained him, he could do nothing but watch helplessly.

He even doubted if he had made a mistake, but if he hadn’t acted the way he did at that time, what would have become of Xu Jinzhi?

Let her die?

He couldn’t do it.

Thankfully, he was awake now!

As long as he was awake, then all those problems would be solved easily.

He would strive to make everything return to how it used to be, to make Xu Jinzhi return to the Xu Jinzhi of the past.

Compared between Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan, it was hard to say whose problems were more serious, but the person who moved freely first was Xu Jinzhi.

Xie Yanchuan had already undergone a detailed physical examination, and the doctors had begun developing a subsequent rehabilitation plan.

The main focus was to exercise Xie Yanchuan’s motor nerves to get him moving.

However, Xie Yanchuan’s rehabilitation had not yet begun when waves of people, who heard of Xie Yanchuan’s awakening, started coming to the hospital.

Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan’s social circle was not large, and within two days, almost everyone who needed to visit had visited.

Xu Jinzhi, due to gastric bleeding, was required to be hospitalized for three days, but when it was time to be discharged, she didn’t leave. Instead, she planned to stay and accompany Xie Yanchuan during his rehabilitation.

While Xie Yanchuan was in rehab, Xu Jinzhi watched from the side, and by the end of it, Xie Yanchuan was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Xu Jinzhi prepared to push the wheelchair over to him, but before she could get there, she heard Xie Yanchuan’s somewhat weak voice say, “The ward is very close. I’ll walk back, just to relax.”

Xu Jinzhi heard this and slightly furrowed her brow. She didn’t say it was okay, nor did she refuse, but instead looked to the rehabilitation doctor nearby.

The rehabilitation doctor nodded. “The distance is not far; it’s okay to walk back slowly.”

Hearing this, Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything.

But for some reason, the atmosphere suddenly turned a bit strange, and the three of them stood there motionless, Xu Jinzhi somewhat bewildered.

And it wasn’t just Xu Jinzhi who was bewildered, but also the rehabilitation therapist.

None of them knew what this sudden silence was about?

After a while, Xie Yanchuan finally spoke gently, “Jinzhi, can you come over and help me back?”

Xu Jinzhi paused, then, realizing, she nodded in agreement and walked towards Xie Yanchuan.

The silence was broken, and the doctor then said, “That’s it for today. This afternoon, Mr. Xie can also take a walk, but he should do so moderately and not overexert himself.”

“Okay,” Xie Yanchuan agreed.

The doctor was very understanding. “Then I’ll leave now. If you need anything, you can find me in the office, or you can call me directly.”
