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

Even on New Year's Day, Shen Chengyan's condition showed no improvement.

Jiang Yu took Shen Mo to the supermarket a week in advance to buy New Year's goods and gifts, as she planned to spend the New Year in the hospital ward.

With the sanatorium's permission, she was allowed to make some simple arrangements in the room.

When Shen Mo first visited Shen Chengyan at the hospital, she saw him covered in tubes and burst into tears. She even had nightmares that night.

That's why Jiang Yu tried her best to minimize the amount of time Shen Mo saw these horrific scenes.

He's not as afraid as he used to be.

Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year, and the caregiver has taken leave to go back to her hometown. These past few days, Jiang Yu has been staying in the ward.

Shen Zhaolin arrived early to help Jiang Yu change the couplets: "Sister-in-law, my dad asked me to tell you to bring Shen Mo home for dinner early tomorrow."

Jiang Yu said, "I won't be going tomorrow, and neither will Shen Mo."

Shen Zhaolin asked in surprise, "Why? Haven't you and your mother-in-law been getting along quite well lately?"

After Tang Yun's near-death experience and regained consciousness last time, her attitude towards Jiang Yu seemed to have changed somewhat. At least she stopped arguing with her and stopped complaining about Jiang Yu at home.

Even though Jiang Yu wouldn't let her come to the hospital to see her son, she could only worry helplessly.

Shen Changyuan was worried that she might get sick from the stress, so he suggested at the dinner table last time, "How about I give her a call and tell her something? It's not right for her to keep refusing to go to the hospital..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yun interrupted her: "Forget it, why are you talking about her? She's just worried that my body won't be able to handle it if I go."

Shen Changyuan chuckled: "Knowing she's doing it for your own good, aren't you happy?"

Tang Yun knows, but that's just how it is.

I'm genuinely unhappy.

These two are not in conflict.

Jiang Yu looked at the couplets that had been pasted up and said, "We've all gone to celebrate the New Year. Shen Chengyan is all alone in the hospital, which is quite lonely. This place has everything. I've already bought the groceries. Shen Mo and I will have hot pot and have a simple New Year."

But to everyone's surprise, the next afternoon, Shen Zhaolin brought Shen Changyuan and Tang Yun over.

Tang Yun was still in the car downstairs when the Shen father and son arrived first.

Shen Zhaolin was carrying bags and bags of various food and drinks. Shen Changyuan pulled Jiang Yu aside and whispered, "Your mother is still waiting in the car. Give me an answer, are you going to let her up or not?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Shen Chengyan on the hospital bed.

Shen Changyuan quickly said, "Your mother promised me before we left that she wouldn't be as excited as last time, and she's been in good health lately. Plus, it's the Lunar New Year, so let her come up and see Cheng Yan."

Jiang Yu finally agreed, but added, "If she starts crying right away, take her away immediately."

Tang Yun came up in a wheelchair. Although she had prepared herself mentally before coming up, she still felt heartbroken seeing her child, whom she had carried for ten months, lying there motionless with tubes inserted all over his body.

Seeing that she was about to get emotional, Shen Mo ran over and hugged her tightly: "Grandma, Happy New Year! May you live a long and healthy life! Did you prepare a big red envelope for me?"

Tang Yun's emotions were interrupted. She patted her grandson's head and took out a large red envelope.

Shen Mo left, and Tang Yun's emotions surged again. Shen Zhaolin came over and stuffed a small bowl into her hand. "These are the meatballs my sister-in-law fried yesterday. They taste really good. Try them."

My emotions were interrupted again.

After Shen Zhaolin left, Tang Yun pushed the wheelchair to the bedside. Just as she was about to burst into tears, Shen Changyuan covered her mouth and said, "Wife, you mustn't cry. Your daughter-in-law said that if you cry, we all have to leave."

Tang Yun: "..."

The ward was lively all afternoon.

A lively gala was playing on TV, while Shen Zhaolin and Shen Mo lounged on the sofa, excitedly playing video games.

Jiang Yu is preparing food.

Tang Yun performed well and did not look dejected.

After the meal, the Shen family father and son cleaned up the ward, and Jiang Yu gave some fruit, snacks and food to the nurses who were still working hard on duty.

Back in the ward, he saw Tang Yun by the bedside, touching Shen Chengyan's face and wiping away tears with heartache.

Jiang Yu watched for a while, then walked over. When Tang Yun saw her return, she hurriedly wiped away her tears: "I, I didn't cry, it was just too windy, I got sand in my eyes."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Before they left, Jiang Yu said to Tang Yun, "How about you come once a month from now on? Once you're feeling better, come every two weeks. And once you're completely recovered, come once a week. How does that arrangement sound?"

Tang Yun was not happy: "My son might wake up tomorrow, why would I need to come once a month?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, her heart suddenly churning, but she didn't show it.

After seeing them off, Shen Mo stayed behind. After taking a shower, Jiang Yu and he lay in bed watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Halfway through watching the show, Shen Mo fell asleep. Jiang Yu got out of bed, turned off the TV, went to Shen Chengyan's bedside, carefully lay down behind him, hugged his increasingly thin body, and whispered, "It was quite lively today, I hope it didn't disturb you."

"Your mom did well; she didn't faint."

"But did you hear what she said before she left? She thought you'd wake up tomorrow. Will you wake up?"

"Wake up, your son really wants to hear you talk to him."

Jiang Yu closed her eyes, smelling the medicine on him, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it. "I also want to hear you talk to me."

Didn't you ask me if I had ever loved you?

"You must be very disappointed that I haven't answered this question yet, right?"

"I... I'm not too cold-blooded or heartless, I just don't know how to answer this question."

"What is love? I don't know. I've never received love since I was a child, nor have I ever loved anyone."

"No one has taught me how to love someone, I don't know how to love you."

"When we were dating, my gentleness, understanding, obedience, and all the good things I did for you were learned from TV."

"I thought you liked that kind of woman."

"Open your eyes and tell me how to love you, okay?"

In the quiet ward, only her soft murmurs could be heard.

Outside the window, thousands of lights twinkled in the night; on the hospital bed, two figures nestled together.

"The doctor said the longer it goes on, the slimmer your chances of waking up will be."

"I've been reading a lot of medical books lately, and they say that your condition is not optimistic. The longer you sleep, the more damage it will cause to your brain."

"Your mother was able to come back from the brink of death. You're her son, so be as capable as she was, okay?"

"Shen Chengyan, wake up."

However, Shen Chengyan did not experience a miracle like Tang Yun.

He remained in a coma day after day, from winter to spring, then to summer and autumn.

A year has passed, and he is still in a coma.

Jiang Yu's emotions began to become irritable. She felt anxious every time she went to the hospital, and she started having trouble sleeping at night. She also experienced severe hair loss. She went to see a psychologist, who said she was too tense and advised her to adjust her state of mind.

To avoid collapsing, Jiang Yu stopped visiting Shen Chengyan at the hospital every day and shifted all her focus to her work.

Shen Chengyan left her such a large inheritance that she and Shen Mo could never spend it all in their lifetime.

She took out a small sum of money and partnered with Zhong Shuangshuang to open a yoga and fitness studio. From site selection, decoration, opening, to event promotion, she did everything herself. She was so busy every day that she could get away from negative emotions.

The Shen family also learned that she was no longer going to the hospital. Tang Yun was furious and confronted her angrily: "How can you just abandon him like that? How can you live with yourself leaving him alone in the hospital? He's only been in a coma for a year, and you're already planning to abandon him?!"
