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

Jiang Yu only said one sentence: "Your health has recovered well, and you're full of energy when you start cursing."

"..." Tang Yun was very angry, but she couldn't do anything about it. She said in a spoiled manner, "I don't care what you think, but don't even think about getting rid of my son. He gave you all his money, so you have to take care of him for the rest of your life, do you hear me!"

Jiang Yu said, "I heard you."

But he still spends most of his time on work, only going to the hospital for a check-up when he has free time.

In the second year after Shen Chengyan fell into a coma, Jiang Yu opened her second studio, earning over a million yuan a year. She shared this good news with Shen Chengyan.

She still focused on her work, but she started going to the hospital more often.

At first, I went there once a month, then every week, and then every day, and I even slept there at night.

Her emotions shifted from anxiety and panic to a state of calm.

In the third year of Shen Chengyan's coma, Jiang Yu opened her third studio.

"Doing business is so difficult. Now that the company has grown and there are more employees, I've even hired a manager from a professional management company, but it's still causing a lot of trouble."

"Sometimes when I can't handle the troubles, I get really upset and want to lose my temper. But every time I think about you, and how you would handle the same problem, I gradually calm down."

"Shen Zhaolin has changed a lot in the past few years. He has completed several successful government projects at the Shen Group, which makes his father very proud... And your father, your biological father, has been calling me for the past two years, wanting to come and see you, but I didn't let him. He also said he wanted to see Shen Mo, but I told him to get lost."

"As for my mom, it seems she took her daughter and settled abroad. Although she didn't announce it to the public, I guess your dad got divorced, otherwise she wouldn't have run away with her tail between her legs."

"And then there's Shen Mo, who's in second grade now. He's successfully lost weight and is tall and thin now. If you saw him again, you definitely wouldn't recognize him. His grades... well, let's not even talk about them. But with Qianqian helping him with his homework, he's not exactly at the bottom of the class."

"He comes to spend two days with you every weekend. Today is only Wednesday, so just wait a bit longer. He'll come and bother you on Friday."

"And your mother, she's in good health. The doctor is always happy at her check-ups and encourages her to keep it up."

As Jiang Yu wiped Shen Chengyan's body, she chatted with him about their daily life.

Tang Yun stood at the door for a long time, but in the end, she didn't come in.

The next day, Jiang Yu received a call from Tang Yun, who asked her to return to the Shen family. Jiang Yu thought it was something urgent and rushed to the Shen family from the company.

Tang Yun said, "Please sit down."

Jiang Yu, puzzled, asked, "What is it?"

Tang Yun took out a few photos and handed them over: "Take a look."

Jiang Yu took the photo. "What is this?"

Tang Yun said, "This is the blind date I picked for you."

Jiang Yu: "???"

Tang Yun: "They're all around your age, but as for looks, they're not as handsome as my son, but they're passable..."

Jiang Yu interrupted her: "What do you mean?"

After feeling awkward for a while, Tang Yun said, "You're not young anymore. You can't keep going like this. Go on a blind date and find a boyfriend to date."

Jiang Yu found it amusing: "Are you trying to find me a man?"

Tang Yun didn't say anything.

Jiang Yu asked her, "Are you asking me to betray your son?"

Tang Yun said to herself, "Over the past few years, I have asked many doctors and consulted many experts, and they all said that his chances of waking up are slim. At first, I was very angry and refused to believe these statements. I believed that my son was special and that he would definitely wake up."

"But as the year goes by, I'm not so sure anymore. My mindset has changed from being persistent at the beginning to feeling confused now."

"If he's destined not to wake up, then we won't hold you back. You're in your early thirties, it's easy to find someone now, but it won't be so easy in a few years."

Jiang Yu only asked her one question: "If Dad falls into a coma or develops Alzheimer's, would you find another companion?"

Tang Yun: "Of course not."

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Then what makes you think I could do that?"

Tang Yun opened her mouth, "I'm just afraid my son won't wake up..."

Jiang Yu: "Don't say such unlucky things, or you'll get slapped."

Tang Yun's eyes widened: "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yu shifted her gaze to the photos: "These two are actually quite nice."

Tang Yun snatched the photo away.

Jiang Yu: "I haven't finished watching it yet."

Tang Yun retorted matter-of-factly, "Didn't you say you weren't going to look for one?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu now owns several businesses and is extremely busy every day, so she doesn't have time to find a man.

However, just because she doesn't seek her out doesn't mean others won't. She's beautiful, has a great figure, and is rich, so some young men who want to avoid working hard for twenty years have ulterior motives towards her.

When Jiang Yu and Shen Chengyan lay in bed at night, they would whisper sweet nothings to each other: "I'm a normal woman too, I have physical needs. I can't keep living like a widow for you forever."

Jiang Yu: "What do you think about me going to find a few handsome young men to hang out with?"

Jiang Yu: "Don't worry, I'm only interested in physical intimacy, not emotional connection."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh at the end: "I was just kidding, I was just kidding."

Jiang Yu thought about the angry and frustrated expression on Shen Chengyan's face when he heard these words, and couldn't help but laugh until tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Yu used to lie on the same bed with Shen Chengyan and chat before going back to her own bed, afraid that she would crowd him while sleeping. Yesterday, she was probably too tired, and after talking to him, she actually fell asleep next to him.

The next day when she woke up, she suddenly saw Shen Chengyan tilting his head and staring straight at her.

Jiang Yu was so frightened that she trembled and fell off the bed.

Five minutes later, a surprised doctor arrived at the ward.

Ten minutes later, Shen Chengyan was taken for a check-up.

Half an hour later, the entire Shen family arrived.

Even Shen Zhaolin, who was on a business trip out of town, called to ask what was going on.

Jiang Yu's body was trembling, and his voice was shaking as he spoke. "I don't know. He's still undergoing tests. I saw him open his eyes when I woke up this morning, but he didn't respond when I called him, and he wouldn't move."

Tang Yun paced back and forth, wondering, "What does this mean? Has it gotten better or worse?"

Shen Changyuan pulled her back, "Don't overthink it, calm down. He must be better now, otherwise why would he open his eyes?"

Shen Zhaolin on the other end of the phone also said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Faced with such a huge surprise, Jiang Yu suddenly felt uncertain: "Could I have seen wrong?"

Half an hour later, the doctor called the whole family into his office.

The doctor said, "Given his condition, the chances of him waking up are actually very small. I never even thought he would wake up."

In short, everyone was on tenterhooks.

The doctor exclaimed, "This is truly a miracle."

Jiang Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "Did he open his eyes? I can't be seeing things, can I?"

"He did open his eyes. You didn't see wrong. He has progressed from a deep coma to a vegetative state."

Shen Changyuan was a little confused: "Aren't people in a vegetative state supposed to be unable to move?"

The doctor said he had been watching too much TV and then gave them a brief explanation of the true state of a person in a vegetative state.

Clinically, there are roughly three types of vegetative state patients.

Semi-awake state: Occasionally able to understand instructions, have emotional reactions, and recognize relatives, but mostly not fully awake.

Vegetative state: Can open eyes, sleep and wakefulness are normal, unconscious, cannot understand commands, instinctively swallows, blinks, and moves limbs randomly.

Locked-in syndrome: The patient is conscious, understands what is being said, and is aware of the outside world, but is paralyzed and unable to speak or swallow. In short, the patient understands everything mentally, but cannot move.

The doctor took them to the ward, examined Shen Chengyan's pupils, and said, "If you can hear me, move your finger."

Shen Chengyan's fingers twitched very slightly.

Tang Yun burst into tears immediately: "Waaah!"

Shen Changyuan hugged her, patted her shoulder, and said in a choked voice, "That's great."

Jiang Yu was afraid that she would faint from emotional distress, so he tried to calm himself down and said, "Dad, take Mom out and let her calm down before she comes back in."

Tang Yun said, "I'm not leaving. I want to watch over my son."

Shen Changyuan managed to get her out after much persuasion.

Jiang Yu sat down beside the hospital bed and asked the doctor, "Can I try it?"

The doctor nodded.

Jiang Yu's breathing became rapid: "Shen Chengyan, do you know who I am? If you do, then move your finger again."

Shen Chengyan's eyes flickered, his gaze settling on her.

Jiang Yu didn't know whether he knew or not.

The doctor said, "Don't worry, he just woke up. Give him some time."

Soon, Tang Yun and Shen Changyuan returned as well. The two of them sat around the hospital bed and said a lot to Shen Chengyan.

They didn't leave until evening, reluctantly.

The driver brought Shen Mo over. Eight-year-old Shen Mo had grown quite a bit taller, and his chubby face had become more defined and handsome. He threw down his schoolbag and ran to the bedside: "Dad, you're finally alive!"

The only thing that hasn't changed in these three years is that he's still a chatterbox; the little guy holds his father's hand and keeps talking non-stop.

Until Shen Chengyan closed his eyes.

Shen Mo paused for a few seconds, then turned and asked, "Mom, is Dad dead again?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he remembered what the doctor had said: he was in a semi-conscious vegetative state, and the timing of when he opened and closed his eyes was different from that of a normal person.

"Dad is probably tired and needs to rest."

Jiang Yu posted a photo of Shen Chengyan with his eyes open on her WeChat Moments.

Two days later, Chen Junhai flew back. He didn't even put down his suitcase before coming straight to the ward. As soon as he entered, he asked Jiang Yu, "He's really awake?"

Jiang Yu: "He's still not awake. He's still in a vegetative state."

Chen Junhai: "Weren't your eyes already open?"

"Even a person in a vegetative state can open their eyes, and if you talk to them, they will respond to you." Jiang Yu explained the doctor's explanation to him.

Chen Junhai immediately leaned over to Shen Chengyan and said, "Brother, can you hear me?"

Shen Chengyan blinked.

Chen Junhai excitedly shouted like a monkey, "Wow, he really can hear me!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Two days later, Shen Zhaolin, who was away on a business trip, also arrived. He sat by the hospital bed, crying tears of joy: "Brother, you're finally not a living dead anymore. Do you know how many amulets I've prayed for for you these past few years?"

When Shen Zhaolin first learned that Shen Chengyan had left him 10% of the inheritance, he was completely stunned. Later, he became emotional and secretly came to the hospital alone in the middle of the night, crying his heart out, which frightened the nurse on duty.

Later, Wei Zongming arrived with Wei Ziqian. The father and son surrounded the hospital bed as if it were a novelty. "Uncle, can you hear me? Shen Mo said you can even do the peace sign."

Shen Chengyan slowly extended two fingers from the hand resting on the bedside table, making a "V" sign.

Wei Ziqian exclaimed "Wow!"

Wei Zongming simply sat down beside the hospital bed: "Give me an OK sign and let's see."

It's unclear whether Shen Chengyan didn't hear him or simply didn't want to pay attention; in any case, he wasn't cooperating at all.

Wei Zongming found it strange: "He's practically a vegetable now, how come he still sees me as a rival in love?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Zhong Shuangshuang also arrived. Seeing Shen Chengyan with his eyes open, she turned to Jiang Yu and asked, "Sister, you finally don't have to live like a widow anymore."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Zhong Shuangshuang looked around, then asked her mysteriously, "Is he capable of having marital relations in this condition?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

The ward seemed to have become a popular spot for people to visit and chat with Shen Chengyan every few days.

Because the doctor said that talking to a person in a vegetative state can stimulate their brain, these friends would come to the hospital for half a day every weekend whenever they had free time.

Jiang Yu said they didn't need to come often, but she was very grateful to these people.

Tang Yun comes to talk to her son almost every day.

Shen Changyuan would come over whenever he had free time.

Even when Shen Zhaolin was busy traveling for work, he would still make a video call to Jiang Yu before going to bed at night, asking her to put his phone next to Shen Chengyan's pillow so he could chatter on and on for a while.

On weekends, Shen Mo would occasionally bring his classmates to the ward. After finishing their homework, the children would chatter and play games for a while, making the whole ward lively.

But there's no definite answer as to when he'll get better.

The doctor said that three months is the golden period, six months also has a good chance, and the probability decreases after a year.

As the months went by, Shen Chengyan progressed from only being able to blink and move his fingers on command to eventually being able to grasp objects.

That time, while Jiang Yu was talking to him, he suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.

He was able to make a sound on a sunny afternoon.

That day, after Jiang Yu finished washing his body, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, she and the caregiver transferred him to a wheelchair. She took a book and pushed him to the garden of the sanatorium.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, warm and comfortable. She read to him as usual, her voice soft and calm in the breeze.

"One night, I had a dream. I was taking a walk with Zhongshu, chatting and laughing, when we ended up in some unknown place..."

Halfway through reading, the blanket covering Shen Chengyan slipped off. Jiang Yu closed the book, bent down to pick it up, and suddenly heard a muffled and hoarse voice: "Wife..."

Jiang Yu's hands trembled slightly as she held the blanket. She slowly sat up, softly humming in agreement, but tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.

In the fourth year after his accident, more than 1,400 days later, Jiang Yu witnessed her own miracle.

It was a season of spring warmth, blooming flowers, and the revival of all things.
