"I missed you too."
Jiang Ning gently caressed Lin Yuzhen's hair and didn't want to think about how he had managed to get through the last few weeks.
He never let anyone else see his disappointment or sadness because he was a man, and more importantly, he was this family's pillar of support.
If he couldn't remain strong, then everyone would collapse.
Jiang Ning knew this very well.
But now, Lin Yuzhen had regained consciousness, and she was still the way she used to be. Jiang Ning suddenly felt like the world had become alive again.
He had always known that Lin Yuzhen was his entire universe.
The two of them didn't say anything and just held each other like this.
It was as if this warm embrace was enough to make both of them feel secure.
After some time, Lin Yuzhen's stomach suddenly started growling.
She immediately blushed.
"You're hungry?" Jiang Ning's eyes immediately widened. "You can't go hungry! Neither mother nor child must go without food!"
He quickly got up and helped Lin Yuzhen to lie down again.
"Lie down first, I'll get the doctors to check you over, uh, what do you want to eat?" Jiang Ning said everything in one breath and spoke very quickly.
"I just want to eat Mum's cooking, anything will do."
Lin Yuzhen nodded obediently.
Jiang Ning immediately walked out of the room. Su Mei and the rest were already waiting anxiously outside.
"Is she awake?" asked Su Mei with bloodshot eyes.
"She's awake and a little hungry. Mum, could you cook something she likes?"
"Of course!"
Su Mei glanced into the room quickly, then ran down to the kitchen to get busy.
Jiang Ning immediately got the doctors waiting outside to give Lin Yuzhen a full checkup and to see if the baby was alright.
Even though he had gone through so many storms in life and escaped death so many times, Jiang Ning was still rather nervous now.
Half an hour later, the doctors walked out again.
"Mr Jiang, Miss Lin is in good health, and the baby is normal. Everyone can relax now." "Thank you."
Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked into the room to see Lin Yuzhen lying a little restlessly on the bed.
"I want to get up and walk about."
"The doctors said that it's better for you to lie down for a while more," said Jiang Ning gently. "After you have something to eat, I'll go walk with you, alright?"
"OK." Lin Yuzhen nodded.
In no time, Su Mei had come back upstairs with food and the smell filled the air.
"Mum!"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Su Mei couldn't stop her tears when she heard Lin Yuzhen call out to her. She immediately hugged Lin Yuzhen and burst into tears.
"I'm so glad you've woken up! I was so scared!" Su Mei rubbed her eyes. "Eat up while it's hot, otherwise it won't be tasty anymore."
It was a good thing that Lin Yuzhen had regained consciousness, so she shouldn't be crying.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Lin Yuzhen eat.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything and just quietly watched as Lin Yuzhen ate everything. He didn't get tired of е looking at her at all. After she finished the last of the soup, he took a tissue and wiped her mouth.
"Are you full?"
"Uh huh. I'm full." Lin Yuzhen gently rubbed her tummy. "He's full too."
This long and terrible nightmare had finally passed and everything had returned to normal again.
After resting for a while more, Jiang
Ning helped Lin Yuzhen out of bed. This was the first time in a long time that she went down the stairs and walked into the courtyard outside. She hadn't seen the sun in such a long time, and she suddenly felt
like being able to come out in the sun was such a wonderful thing.
Ye Shan and the rest had come too.
After finding out that Jiang Ning had returned, they knew that Lin Yuzhen would definitely regain consciousness. After all, Jiang Ning had gone into the mountain gate precisely to bring the antidote out.
And he had clearly succeeded in doing so.
