Chapter 4: Awakening
ing at those jewelry pieces," Ruan Rou stopped eating and replied."Good job, madam!" The sales assistant was overjoyed! She had just thought the customer would leave and go to another store. Just as s..."It's been three days, how is she still not awake" Mo Yichen directly opened the door and walked to the table, asking Cheng Yu who was writing a medical record.
Cheng Yu raised his head in surprise, looking at the man before him who wasn't showing any courtesy at all.
"How did you get here She should be awake by now. I checked on her this morning, and she was recovering well; there were no signs of life-threatening issues. However, it's still possible that she could become a vegetable."
"Vegetative state She... how confident are you that she can wake up" Mo Yi Chen's expression became somewhat grave, this situation was not what he wanted to see.
"It's hard to say, maybe half and half. I can't give you a definite answer." Cheng Yu thought for a moment, then spoke with some hesitation.
"Take good care of her. I just received an urgent mission and may not be able to come back for a while. Keep an eye on her, and if she wakes up, try your best to fulfill any requests or help she needs." Mo Yichen pondered for a moment before instructing.
"Don't worry, I would have done the same anyway. After all, she saved your life." Cheng Yu readily agreed. He and Mo Yichen were good brothers, and he admired him the most. This little favor was nothing.
However, what he didn't say was that ever since he found out this girl had saved his younger brother, he immediately sent someone to investigate her. He learned about her background and though he felt sorry for her, he decided to keep it from Mo Yi Chen for the time being.
You can't blame him for being cautious. In this kind of circle, there are countless people who try every means to network and change their lives. He's afraid this girl might be one of them too. He's afraid that even if she isn't now, she might become like that in the future.
However, the girl's grandmother was on the hospital's aid fund review list, and he helped expedite it so that it would be processed first.
Mo YiChen and Cheng Yu chatted for a while more about the car accident, then left. He had to prepare to go on a mission.
Four days after he left, a nurse hurried to Cheng Yu's office, her voice slightly agitated.
"Director Cheng! It seems like the patient in bed number 3 has woken up!"
"Okay! I'm coming right away!" Hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately stood up from his position, picked up the stethoscope beside him and quickened his pace towards the ward.
What a surprise! I thought this girl would become a vegetable, but she woke up.
In the hospital room, Ruan Rou finally regained control of her body and successfully opened her eyes. She moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but because she hadn't had water in too long, she couldn't utter a word.
"Dab some water on her with a cotton swab," Cheng Yu said to the nurse standing beside him. After saying that, he walked to the bedside and began to check on her.
Not until the inspection was nearly complete did Cheng Yu take a good look at the girl lying on the hospital bed. He hadn't looked before, but when he did, he was taken aback.
Although the girl's face was somewhat pale, it didn't affect her beauty at all. In fact, he found himself looking at her more and more, feeling like he had seen her before.
"How are you feeling Do you remember what happened" he asked softly, completely ignoring the surprised looks from the nurses around him.
There's nothing I can do about it, he's a sucker for pretty girls. He always treats them with extra kindness, especially since she saved his best friend's life.
“I, I want to drink some water.” His voice was a little hoarse. These past few days, Ruan Soft could actually feel what was happening around her, she just couldn’t move.
Cheng Yu saw this and didn't object. He let a nurse shake the bed and handed her water that another nurse had poured nearby.
She was so thirsty, she just drank several mouthfuls before stopping. Then she finally opened her mouth to reply to the doctor's question from earlier.
"I remember. I remember saving a child and then getting hit by a car."
"Yes, you seem to be recovering well. I'm your attending physician, Dr. Cheng. Please let me know if you have any discomfort."
Ruan nodded softly and asked again, "How is that child What about the people in the car that was hit And how is the driver who caused the accident"
Cheng Yu wasn't very surprised. The questions she asked were all within his expectations, but he didn't expect her to ask about Mo Yi Chen and their car.
"The child is fine, just a little scratch. The driver has been taken into custody by the police, and the other people in the car only suffered minor injuries and have already been discharged from the hospital."
Cheng Yu answered one by one. Seeing Ruan Soft nodding while listening, he suddenly felt that he had underestimated the other person a bit.
How could such a kind girl be someone who would fawn over the powerful
Looking at the girl on the hospital bed, her face showing weariness, his voice softened.
"Miss Ruan, please get some rest. Your phone is in this drawer. Even though you're awake now, please pay attention to your body. We'll do a thorough check-up tomorrow and observe you further. If everything is fine, you can be discharged."
Ruan nodded slightly, waving goodbye to Cheng Yu and the nurse as they left. Then, he eagerly opened his drawer, took out his phone, powered it on. He'd missed having internet access these past few days.
"Soft soft ~ Chatting with Yuanbao isn't fun, huh~" It was starting up, and in her mind, she heard Yuanbao's slightly wronged voice.
"Where, where It's just that the phone is a little more fun!"
During those few days when her soul returned to her body and reintegrated, Ruann softened kept chatting with the system Yuanbao to pass the time. The relationship between the two became remarkably close.
"Humph! Bad Ruanruan! Ruanruan's a big bitch!" Yuanbao shouted in his consciousness, wanting to attract Ruanruan's attention.
Ke Ran softly said, "Yes, yes, I am the bad girl," in response. Then Yuan Bao got angry and stopped talking.
As soon as the phone was turned on, it started buzzing and whirring for a long time. The already old and laggy phone now seemed to be lagging so badly that it was about to smoke.
"I'm going to have to get rid of this phone sooner or later!" Ruan Ruan said through gritted teeth while tapping her phone.
"Soft-soft host~ I can change it for you, and I'll get money after completing the mission~." Yuán Bǎo suddenly spoke in a flattering tone.
"Then, thank you!"
Her phone was finally back to normal. Almost all the messages were asking where she was. Ruan Ruan replied to each one, reporting that she was safe, but she didn't tell them about the car accident.
Knock, knock—a rapping sound echoed. Ruan Soft was a little puzzled. This was a single room, the doctor had already come, so who would be visiting her
Please come in.
With a creak of the door, Ruan Ruan looked towards the entrance. A couple stood there. Ruan Ruan's face was full of suspicion. She didn't know them at all.
The couple hurried to the bedside, placing the tonic in their hands and speaking kindly.
"Miss Ruan, we are the parents of the child you saved. My last name is Liu, and my husband's last name is Tang. We only have one child. If it weren't for you saving him, I don't know what I would have done..."
Aunt Liu spoke with increasing emotion, her voice choked with tears as she went on. Uncle Tang embraced his wife and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
“Miss Ruan, my wife is a little excited, don’t mind her. We are here to thank you. We wanted to come before, but Director Cheng said you were in a coma. When we heard you woke up today, we came as quickly as possible. We don’t know how to thank you, so we thought of giving you…” the expression of the middle-aged man who had been filming for half a day not far away also changed from the initial shock, to excitement like eating melons, then anger, and finally returned to calm....
