"Miss Xiahu, how are you feeling today?" Dr . Qiang Yue asked her like he had asked her for the past few weeks . It had become a daily habit for the man to come and check her vitals taken by Ling Qiu .

"I"m better . " Xiao Yunhua answered with a small smile . Qiang Yue frowned at how frail she seemed as she smiled . She had lost too much weight despite trying to recover from the coma . It"s been a few weeks, but her fragility was still present . Her face was hollowed due to the weight loss and her body was like a twig, ready to snap at any time . Qiang Yue felt deep sympathy for the woman . To suffer like so at her age, which was quite young, was too pitiful .

"Well, luckily that your muscles are used to movement and you can be released at any time . Unfortunately, due to the abnormal weight loss and the sudden wave of depression that we see, you"ll have to be monitored here for a bit longer . "

Advertis.e.m.e.ntXiao Yunhua opened her mouth to retort in disagreement, but Qiang Yue quickly added, "Mr . w.a.n.g and Ms . Ni have arranged it already . They wish for you to be completely healthy before leaving the hospital . "

Xiao Yunhua sighed, her honey colored eyes looking dull . Qiang Yue saw the aura around her become thicker with woe and he quickly rea.s.sured, "Ling Qiu will still take you out to exercise your leg muscles during this time . "

"But it"s so boring . " Xiao Yunhua childishly huffed, she tried to get up from the patient bed, but ended up slipping . Expecting for the floor to meet her face, she was surprised to find herself in a warm embrace . A whiff of cologne filled her nostrils and she blushed, like a rose blooming on her flawlessly pale face .

"Miss Xiahu, are you alright?" Qiang Yue murmured, making Xiao Yunhua blush even deeper . Being so close to Qiang Yue, she could see the outline of his washboard abdominal muscles behind his maroon dress s.h.i.+rt and tie . Paired with his white lab coat and gentle eyes, he looked very handsome .

"Y-Yes," she stuttered shyly as she tried to get up, "thank you for catching me . "

"No problem . " Qiang Yue didn"t feel fl.u.s.tered in the least bit . He helped his patient get up and lie back on her bed .

"Doctor, can"t I walk around for some fresh air?" Xiao Yunhua asked quietly before he left .

Qiang Yue was going to nod but then remembered that Ling Qiu was already gone for the day . As Xiahu Yunhua was a special patient and her guardians requested for the utmost privacy, he couldn"t get another nurse to help her .

In this end, after much contemplation, he agreed . "I"ll walk with you . " After all, he didn"t have anything else planned except for reading over some reports in his office . A little walk wouldn"t hurt, and he didn"t mind the break either .

He couldn"t let Xiahu Yunhua walk alone as she was still a patient that was comatose for so long . This solution was satisfactory .

"Alright . " Xiao Yunhua didn"t mind the opportunity of spending some time with her second target . In fact, this would help her get closer to her goal .

She saw Qiang Yue extend his hand in her direction, to help her get up . With slight hesitance, Xiao Yunhua gripped his hand and stood up . Awkwardly shaking his hand off, she wobbled beside him as they walked around in the floor of private rooms .

Qiang Yue"s long legs were walking very slow to allow the much-shorter woman to keep up with his pace . He wanted to chuckle aloud at how cute she was behaving . Like a duck that was beginning to swim for the first time .

Even though she was already walking, it would still take a full month or so for her to return to walking normal .

She had been completely inactive for three months, so it wasn"t completely unreasonable .
