Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

Chen Junhai carried the food box to the ward. Before he even went in, he could hear Jiang Yu's rambling voice coming from inside.

He listened outside for a while. What she was talking about wasn't anything interesting; it was just her daily routine and what she and Shen Mo did every day.

"Chen Junhai messaged me today saying he was coming and would bring me food, but he hasn't arrived yet. He must be slacking off..."

Chen Junhai cleared his throat, immediately pushed open the door and went in, "Who said I was slacking off?"

In the room, Shen Chengyan lay on the bed with various tubes inserted into his body. Jiang Yu sat by the bedside, holding his hand.

Seeing him come in, Jiang Yu put Shen Chengyan's hand back under the covers, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You didn't slack off, but you were eavesdropping outside."

"I saw you two were so engrossed in your conversation that I didn't want to come in and disturb you."

Chen Junhai placed the lunchbox on the table. "You eat, I'll chat with him."

It has been almost a month since the incident, with wind and rain. Today, the sun is shining brightly, so Jiang Yu got up early to personally help Shen Chengyan wash up.

Washing someone in a deep coma is physically demanding. Although the caregiver wipes Shen Chengyan down every day, Jiang Yu always feels that the caregiver doesn't do it as diligently as she does, so she always takes three or four days a week to give Shen Chengyan a thorough cleaning from head to toe.

I've been busy here all morning and I'm starving.

Compared to a month ago, when she wouldn't feel hungry even if she didn't eat for a day, her appetite is slowly returning.

Chen Junhai sat in the spot where Jiang Yu had just been sitting, looked at the man on the bed with his eyes closed, and scratched his head: "We're just chatting casually, not like your wife holding your hand, huh?"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes silently.

Chen Junhai: "What should I say today? Actually, I've told you everything I needed to say. Don't worry about the overseas company; everything has been done as you said. Now, the most important thing is when you'll come to your senses. Let me tell you something quietly: I'm not a believer in Jesus, but I pray for miracles for you every day..."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but say, "Jesus doesn't concern himself with Chinese affairs."

Chen Junhai: "Then I should convert to Buddhism?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu finished eating, and Chen Junhai finished speaking.

His mouth was dry from talking, and as he drank some water, he noticed a small thing hanging on Jiang Yu's chest and asked curiously, "What's that?"

Jiang Yu: "A little camera to record life. When Shen Chengyan wakes up later, I can show him the family documentary I recorded."

Chen Junhai fell silent.

One month ago, on that night, he, along with the police and an ambulance, rushed to the former villa of the Song family. When they arrived, the scene was horrifying.

Song Yanjie broke his neck and died on the spot.

Shen Chengyan suffered a head injury and fell into a coma. He was bleeding profusely, but his heart was still beating.

On the way back to the city center, the medical staff did their best to save him, racing against death. When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Chengyan was taken into the operating room, but his condition was extremely poor. After the surgery, he was admitted to the ICU. During this time, the doctors issued critical condition notices several times. Fortunately, ten days later, all his data met the standards, and he was discharged from the ICU and sent to a ward.

For those ten days, Jiang Yu stayed at the hospital almost every step of the way. Her condition was actually not good either; she had been shot in the leg and had lacerations on her hands. The medical staff told her to rest, but she said she couldn't sleep, so whenever she had free time, she would go to the ICU to keep watch.

The time Shen Chengyan was discharged from the ICU, she slept for two whole days before she was fully awake.

But then, to make matters worse, Tang Yun's condition suddenly worsened. Jiang Yu rushed back to Jiangcheng that night, and Shen Zhaolin told her, "I tried my best to keep it a secret, but I couldn't. It's been ten days now, and my older brother hasn't shown up or called. She thinks something's wrong and is pressuring my dad. My dad doesn't dare to say anything for fear of upsetting her. He started feeling unwell this evening..."

Jiang Yu asked, "How is it now?"

Shen Zhaolin's eyes reddened as he spoke, "It might happen tonight... My dad is keeping watch in the ward, I came out to get some fresh air."

Jiang Yu arrived at the ward. Tang Yun was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Shen Changyuan sat by the bed and held Tang Yun's hand.

"Dad," Jiang Yu called out.

Shen Changyuan made a shushing gesture at her, "The doctor said she needs quiet."

Jiang Yu nodded.

Shen Changyuan stood up, gesturing for her to follow him out.

Jiang Yu followed Shen Changyuan outside the ward. Only then did Shen Changyuan notice that she was walking with a limp, and he quickly asked her what was wrong.

Jiang Yu didn't say that he was injured by a bullet, only that he accidentally fell. Shen Changyuan sighed, chatted with him about Shen Chengyan, and was finally called to the doctor's office by the nurse.

Jiang Yu stood in the corridor for a while before returning to the ward.

The ward was quiet, with only the ticking of the medical equipment.

Jiang Yu looked at Tang Yun wearing a breathing mask and suddenly felt uneasy. What if Tang Yun really couldn't make it through the night? How would Shen Chengyan face this when he woke up?

Moreover, Tang Yun still doesn't know what happened to her son.

Jiang Yu pondered, "Is this fair to her?"

Jiang Yu walked over, sat down by the hospital bed, and said in a low voice, "You said you disliked me so much, but in the end I still came to see you. There's no daughter-in-law more magnanimous than me, is there?"

"I asked Dad and the others to keep this from you. Your health isn't good, and you can't take any more stress. What would happen if they found out about your son's current condition and couldn't catch their breath?"

"The doctors said you might not make it through the night. You're a mother now, and I'd feel terrible if you just left like this. So I'm telling you about your son's condition."

"His condition is very serious right now. He's been in the ICU for a while, and I've been by his side every day. I act calm, but I'm actually terrified every day. Can you imagine how long it's been since I've had a good night's sleep? I have nightmares every time I close my eyes. The doctor suggested I take sleeping pills, but I'm afraid to. What if Shen Chengyan suddenly dies while I'm asleep? Then I won't even be able to see him one last time!"

"So I just kept going until he was finally discharged from the ICU, but the doctor said he had fallen into a deep coma. Do you know what a deep coma is? I didn't know at first, but I frantically researched and found out that he was completely unconscious and still in critical condition, with a very low chance of waking up."

"Although the probability is low, it doesn't mean there's no chance at all, don't you think?"

"Your son is really pitiful. Even I, a pitiful person, feel sorry for him. He didn't have a normal childhood and was unlucky enough to meet me. If he hadn't married me, he would definitely have found a satisfactory daughter-in-law for you. She wouldn't disobey you or make you angry."

"Every hurdle is difficult, but I overcome it. Every day I pray to God for a miracle, for Shen Chengyan to wake up. If there truly are gods, I hope they can hear my prayers for you and bless you to get through this ordeal safely."

Jiang Yu's emotions suddenly broke down at this moment, and she couldn't help but choke up.

She's been under a lot of pressure lately. Ever since Shen Chengyan's accident, she's been on edge the whole time. She hasn't shed a single tear, hasn't shown any weakness, and has remained calm every day.

But she was actually terrified.

She was afraid her nightmares would come true.

She was afraid of losing him.

Amid her choked-up emotions, the monitor tracking Tang Yun's vital signs suddenly sounded an alarm.

Jiang Yu looked up in surprise and saw Tang Yun weakly open her eyes.
