Chapter 1111: Chapter 1113: Walking Dead Chapter 1111: Chapter 1113: Walking Dead Phoenix woke up.
But she just lay there, staring at the ceiling.
Not making a sound, tears uncontrollably slid from the corners of her eyes.
Xia Yangyang slowly walked to her bedside.
Xia Yangyang said to the nurse beside her, “You can go now, I’ll stay with her.”
The nurses exchanged glances, then left the room.
Xia Yangyang sat next to Phoenix, holding her hand.
She didn’t speak, and her own tears began to fall.
But Xia Yangyang knew she couldn’t cry.
If she cried, it would make Phoenix feel even worse.
Xia Yangyang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She said, “Sister, can you be strong?”
Such words were easy to say.
But they were hard to live by.
Xia Yangyang thought about the heart-wrenching pain when her father had died.
It felt as though her body was hollowed out, life hardly seed worth living.
It seed like Phoenix hadn’t heard Xia Yangyang’s voice.
Her eyes did not even flicker, just fixed on the ceiling.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to say anymore.
Right now, everything seed futile.
Xia Yangyang just sat quietly by the bed, holding Phoenix’s hand, silently accompanying her.
From late night until early morning.
The room had a floor-to-ceiling window on the front.
The curtains were not drawn.
The first rays of sunlight stread in from outside.
The early spring sun was very warm.
Outside, vitality thrived—the pondside was covered with brilliant yellow winter jasmine blooming into a bright sea of flowers.
But inside the room, it was eerily cold.
Even though the heater was fully on.
It still felt like being in an ice cellar.
At six o’clock, Ah Shui and Xiao Qi arrived.
Seeing Phoenix, they didn’t know what to say, and just leaned over the bed and wept.
For everyone, the event that had happened last night was a catastrophe, an unforgettable disaster for a lifeti.
Ah Shui and Xiao Qi stayed for a while and then left.
They kept vigil beside Gao Huizhi’s bed.
Gao Huizhi had not yet woken up.
Gu Qichen was also keeping watch there.
Li Zhiqian ca later.
He brought breakfast, carrying a food box.
Li Zhiqian said to Xia Yangyang, “Xiao Qi, have so breakfast.”
Xia Yangyang replied, “I’m not hungry, I don’t want to eat.”
Xia Yangyang sat quietly, nearly in the sa state as Phoenix.
But Xia Yangyang knew deep down that Phoenix was feeling tens of thousands of tis more miserable.
Li Zhiqian ca over, placing a bowl of porridge in Xia Yangyang’s hands, “You should eat a little, you haven’t slept all night, and godfather would be most distressed if he saw you like this. If he wakes up and sees you this way, he might feel very upset. Don’t worry him even more.”
Xia Yangyang reluctantly took a few sips of the porridge.
It was the signature seafood porridge from Peer Pavilion, which Xia Yangyang used to love for its fresh, smooth taste that lted in her mouth.
But today, each sip felt like drinking magma, scorching hot all the way to her heart.
Her stomach felt like sothing was burning inside, tumultuous; Xia Yangyang couldn’t taste the porridge at all.
Xia Yangyang took a little.
Then she said to Phoenix, “Sister, have a bite, just one bite, okay?”
Phoenix had no reaction.
She just silently wept.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t wipe her tears away fast enough.
The pillow was nearly soaked with her tears.
Her gaze was hollow and swollen, her eyes blood red, she looked just like a walking corpse.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to do anymore.
She looked helplessly and sorrowfully at Li Zhiqian.
