CHAPTER 707: CHAPTER 703: HIS LITTLE WIFE IS AMAZING!

——————

Xie Jingchen is well aware that he’s not a responsible husband and father when facing his beloved wife and child.

The military orders are overriding, but they are not an excuse for him to shirk responsibility.

His little wife is amazing; though she was injured and in a coma, she did her utmost to protect their home and family.

Yet, during many sleepless nights filled with unrest, Xie Jingchen desperately wishes that his wife were a fragile flower, so she wouldn’t have bravely charged to the forefront!

Xie Jingchen knows that such a mindset is undesirable at this moment.

Because if Yan Jinsu were truly ’fragile’, perhaps he wouldn’t have fallen for her deeply, wouldn’t love her to the extent of wanting to consume her, to fuse her into his flesh and bones!

Indeed, men are contradictory creatures. What he loves most about her is her bold and fearless tenacity, but when disaster strikes, he yearns for her to step back and protect herself, with the sole desire for her to be unharmed...

After everyone else had left, the towering figure of Xie Jingchen, like a black bear, silently lay in the warm embrace of his wife, like a child seeking mother’s love, his hot tears streaming onto her palm:

"Treasure, wake up soon, I need you..."

***

During the month that Yan Jinsu was in a coma, quite a lot happened.

For instance, as soon as Chen Xiufang heard that Yan Jinsu had an accident, she immediately came to Beijing ahead of time. Her arrival not only helped to establish Yan Jinsu’s drugstore but also scouted the nearby area for suitable land to build a pharmaceutical factory, and incidentally resolved several minor issues left by Yan Jinsu before she fell into a coma.

Fan Hongshan, who had been knocked unconscious, also woke up that same night, with only temporary amnesia and no physical issues. Once the bruise on the back of her head had healed, her memory returned.

This improved the atmosphere at the Zhou Yilang’s household, which had been quite gloomy. Zhou Yilang’s children didn’t seem very sad or anxious when their grandmother was in a coma, but when they realized that their stepmother Fan Hongshan was looking at them with a face of unfamiliarity, both children cried out in distress.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

After Yan Jinsu fell into a coma and was unable to act, Xie Jingzi and Fan Hongshan, through the resources in Chen Xiufang’s hands, obtained Zhongdan Pharmaceutical’s signature products, such as Security Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, etc.

Zhongdan Pharmaceutical’s various cutting-edge Chinese medicines have amazing effects, and when used in conjunction with the doctors’ diagnoses, Wen Qingying’s condition gradually improved over a month, seemingly about to wake up at any time.

Even Zhou Yizhou, who appeared to be mentally deranged, was secretly treated in the Rong Department under Zhou Yilang’s timely intervention. After trying all the medicines, Zhou Yizhou’s condition did not improve but became more severe. That was when Fan Hongshan suggested that the younger uncle and mother-in-law should try the same medicine.

How could Zhou Yizhou and Wen Qingying, mother and son, who seemed to have unrelated illnesses, possibly take the same medication?

But from the perspective of Fan Hongshan, an observer, their diseases occurred around the same person, making it highly likely that they have the same disease cause - if Yan Jinxian intentionally made it so.

Fan Hongshan’s theory seemed a bit outlandish, but upon reflection, Zhou Yilang thought that perhaps women understand the nature of other women better.

Since marrying into the family, Yan Jinxian’s behavior has shown many flaws, not like a deep and calculating woman.

The Zhou family’s parents had always unconditionally doted on their youngest son, resulting in favoritism that blinded them due to Zhou Yizhou’s apparent absolute fondness for Yan Jinxian.

The single-celled organisms, or perhaps as Madam had suggested, a dual-purpose medicine? Zhou Yilang immediately decided to give it a try.

At the time when their mother had just fallen down the stairs and fainted, her condition wasn’t really that serious!

But who would have guessed that after one night, she would be declared to be in a vegetative state, never to wake up again. That one in ten chance of a miracle was entirely a ’kind’ lie by the doctor.

After all, the situation couldn’t get much worse than it currently was, so why not give it a try.

Moreover, with Zhongdan Pharmaceutical being so popular and booming right now, even if the medicine had no effect after consumption, it would not harm anyone.

With this in mind, Zhou Yizhou really followed the treatment steps used for Wen Qingying, accordingly arranged for the doctors to treat Zhou Yizhou and meticulously recorded everything.

In just three days, the effects of the medicine became evident.

Since being admitted to the Rong Department Hospital, Zhou Yizhou’s emotions never calmed down. Whenever he rested and regained a bit of strength, even a slight noise could trigger an emotional outburst.

The hospital ward didn’t dare to house other patients with him. After three days, he had managed less than three hours of normal sleep, which only made his temper increasingly volatile.

The longer the delay, the more intense Zhou Yizhou’s emotions became. When he finally lost control of himself, he started to self-harm.

Fortunately, there were doctors and nurses outside, and they managed to save Zhou Yizhou’s life. So when Fan Hongshan proposed this solution, both the doctors and Zhou Yilang, desperate for the disease cause, tacitly agreed.

Only by trying would they know if there would be any effects!

After using the medicine for three days, Zhou Yizhou’s condition began to improve. At least, on this day, he actually managed to sleep an unprecedented three hours. Even though he became more irritable after waking up, the observing doctors had a new direction for their records.

One week later, Zhou Yizhou regained his consciousness for the first time.

Due to the emotional fluctuations caused by the medication, Zhou Yizhou had been unable to sleep normally for a long time. Daily emotional outbursts were making him increasingly insane.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Yan Jinxian finally gave him a sedative, which allowed his tormented mind a moment of relief. Knowing that obedience meant seeing his father and elder brother, he cooperated with Yan Jinxian’s administration of the medicine.

When Yan Jinxian supported him into the guest room, Zhou Yizhou regained a slight sense of self. However, Yan Jinxian, fearing he would awaken too quickly, gave him too much medicine, causing him to lose his sanity and consciousness again.

Perhaps due to an overuse of medication, Zhou Yizhou developed a bit of resistance, waking up earlier than Yan Jinxian anticipated. Just as he was restoring some strength to help himself, he discovered his elder brother had already arrived heroically with the Zhou family’s butler.

At that moment, Zhou Yizhou truly appreciated his parents for giving him such a capable brother; otherwise, even if he had tried to save himself, who knew if he would have been successful!

After Zhou Yizhou regained his consciousness for the first time, his subsequent recovery vastly improved, and with his youth, the effects of the medication were much better than for his mother, Wen Qingying.

When he finally came to his senses, he began to understand what had happened over the past month.

Having narrowly escaped this life-and-death calamity, Zhou Yizhou finally grew up, which was an unexpected gain.
