Gu Chengrui remained unresponsive, like someone in a deep sleep.
Zhou Ying examined him again, her hope fading with each pa.s.s.
Forced to leave her inters.p.a.ce, she was met by a tearful Guoguo at the door.
“Don’t cry, sweetheart. Your father’s just tired. He’s sleeping.”
“But everyone says he fainted!” Guoguo sniffled, her eyes red-rimmed.
Zhou Ying smiled gently. “Do you trust Mommy or the others?”
“Mommy,” Guoguo mumbled, wiping her tears.
“That’s my girl. Now go learn your embroidery. I’ll be here with Daddy.”
Alone again, Zhou Ying watched Gu Chengrui’s still form. Tears welled up, blurring her vision.
Pulling a chair close, she grasped his hand and began to talk about their children.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui found himself trapped in a foggy maze, his frantic calls echoing unanswered.
The path led him past a dilapidated hospital delivery room, where he saw a younger version of his father and grandmother from his past life.
A newborn’s cry shattered the scene, followed by a montage of his childhood mischief.
As he ran, he witnessed similar scenes—each a child, a doctor, saving lives with exceptional skill.
Unaware of his internal journey, Zhou Ying saw no improvement. But his parched lips worried her.
She got up and had someone bring two cups of water.
She drank one cup herself and then tried to give him the other.
Luckily, he could still swallow, and the water went down quickly. This relieved Zhou Ying a little, as it meant he could at least have liquids to sustain himself.
In the evening, Gu Chengye and Second Uncle Gu rushed over in a hurry. Seeing Zhou Ying, they anxiously asked, “How is Chengrui? Did he wake up?”
“Not yet, but it’s alright. Chengxi will check his pulse every hour.”
“Unconscious but stable?” Second Uncle Gu furrowed his brow.
“I don’t know either. It’s like he’s asleep. Maybe he’s been too tired lately,” Zhou Ying said, shaking her head.
Second Uncle Gu’s frown deepened instead of disappearing upon hearing this.
“Would it be alright to go in and see him?” he asked.
“Sure.” Zhou Ying nodded and led them inside to take a look.
The two men saw Gu Chengrui lying there as if nothing was wrong, and their hearts filled with worry.
After all, the Gu family relied heavily on him. If something happened to him, their future would be in trouble.
They then turned and walked out, saying to Zhou Ying, “We’ll stay in the guest house from now on. If there’s anything, please let us know.”
Zhou Ying was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head. “No need for that. Chengxi is here, and I’ll send someone to inform you if anything happens. Besides, there are so many guards around. You wouldn’t be much help staying here.”
