Ti passed by, every second ticking away, and he did not know how long he had been in the ICU. He just knew that he had been waiting there all along, awaiting a sign, even the slightest indication of a miracle; he was unwilling to give up hope. After all, they weren’t in a hopeless situation yet. As long as there’s no dead end, there must be a way out. He refused to believe that the world could be so heartless, that his parents’ will to live could be so weak. He couldn’t bear, nor wished to see such an outco.
Zhang Yichen stepped outside his grandfather’s sick room. He saw his grandfather staring out of the window, motionless. He knew that his grandfather had started to have doubts, but there were so things he just couldn’t say directly to him. Otherwise, his grandfather truly wouldn’t be able to handle such news. Right now, all he could do was to soothe his grandfather’s emotions, hoping that both his mother and father would wake up. It might be a long process for him, but he had no other ans or choice. This was the fate given to him by the heavens, and he must bear it himself.
Old Master Zhang was actually excited when he saw his grandson coming over. He had never thought that his grandson would still co to visit him; he assud his grandson had long since forgotten about him and no longer wanted to live with this old man. He also worried whether sothing had happened to the parents, and that was why his grandson was reluctant to co and see him.
"Yichen, you haven’t co to see Grandpa for several days. Is there sothing going on? Or is there so danger with your parents? Otherwise, you wouldn’t abandon your grandpa, right?
You know you’re a good kid, and you would give up a lot for your grandpa. But Grandpa also hopes you can tell the truth, has sothing happened to your parents? I’m really worried about them. As a parent, you should understand this feeling. If sothing happened to their child, a father would be more anxious than anyone."
Zhang Yichen didn’t know how to respond to his grandfather’s barrage of questions. He was afraid that he might inadvertently give the wrong answer, worrying his grandfather and worsening his dical condition. If his grandfather kept falling into danger repeatedly, how could his heart as a grandson ever be at peace?
"Grandpa, you’re overthinking things. My parents are fine, resting in their ward. How could anything happen to them? And with how advanced dical technology is nowadays, I believe they will wake up very soon. The doctor also said they’re slowly showing signs of coming to. You just need to relax. Work has kept very busy recently, and I also hope that when my parents wake up, they’ll see working as diligently as ever. That way, they won’t be disappointed!"
"Really? Are your parents truly alright? But you haven’t co to see for so many days. No matter how busy your work is, you would co to see your grandfather. I believe you wouldn’t forget about this old man because of work. Are you sure you’re not lying to ? Please don’t lie; Grandpa’s heart can take the truth. Whatever the outco, whatever happens, I can handle it.
After all, they are my son and daughter-in-law. I want to live on for their sake and wait for the day they wake up, right?"
"Grandpa, you really are worrying too much. Mom and Dad are truly fine; they’re almost out of the critical period. As long as we continue waiting together, I’m sure it won’t be long before they wake up. Heaven is truly fair, Grandpa, so you shouldn’t get carried away with your thoughts, it’s bad for your health. We should be happy as we wait for them to co around, shouldn’t we? If they really do wake up, and at that mont, they discover their own father has fallen ill, their hearts, as children, would be full of anxiety, sadness, and pain."
Old Master Zhang felt that what Zhang Yichen said made sense; he relented. After all, why question his grandson’s words ti and again? He ultimately had to believe, for he did trust that the world could be fair, and that everyone would receive the fate they deserved.
"Since you say so, I’m reassured. You should hurry back and check on your parents. Grandpa is very happy you ca to see today; at least in my heart, you haven’t forgotten your duty as a grandson. This is already the greatest comfort to . I can take good care of myself here. As you balance work and hospital visits, do be careful not to wear yourself out."
"I know, Grandpa. I’ll definitely take good care of my own health. No matter what, I won’t let myself get sick because I’m still waiting for Mom and Dad to wake up. And after Grandpa gets out of the hospital, I hope to bring you another great-grandchild!"
"Good, good, that would make very happy!"
...
Ran Zhihan continued talking to her parents in the sick room, but in that instant, she thought she saw her parents’ fingers move slightly. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but at that mont, she was filled with hope. She was excited, rushing out to call the doctor.
After a lengthy examination in the ward, the doctor finally stepped out and spoke to Ran Zhihan, "You’re right; the patients are showing signs of regaining consciousness. I believe it won’t be long before they fully co around. You should visit them when possible and talk to stimulate them a bit more, or they might just choose to keep sleeping. Talking to them now really is useful.
This is very good news, a significant improvent from before. If this had been the previous state, they would only have the option to sleep without showing any signs of awakening, this would truly be a miracle. But this miracle is your creation. Keep it up, kid!"
Ran Zhihan, Xiao Wei, and Li Jiayuan were all incredibly excited. This was such great news, and nobody expected it to co this quickly.
"Okay, Doctor. I will definitely take good care of them. I believe they’ll wake up soon. I have faith that a miracle will indeed happen..."
