"Ah, miss, please calm down," a nurse said, dodging the flying objects in the room and comforting the still frail Pochun.
Who are they? Why did they stick that strange thing, resembling a bottle with a long tail, into my body? Their appearance and speech are all so strange. Anxious thoughts filled Pochun's mind. Just when he had barely sorted out his memories, Pochun's composure was disturbed by the needle, creating the scene mentioned earlier.
"What's going on?" The nearby doctors were alarmed by the banging sound and rushed to Pochun's ward to see what was happening, but they were blocked by the flying objects at the door.
Although Pochun had sorted out his memories, the current situation frightened him. Since he became capable of movement, he had been contemplating how he ended up in this strange world using mysterious powers. Although he knew he had to accept it, he was often scared by things he didn't understand.
"The director is here, the director is here!" Someone with keen eyes spotted Director Qi Xian walking over from a distance.
"Ah..." Qi Xian sighed, not knowing how many times he had sighed since the unidentified girl brought by his son woke up. Troubles kept arising in the hospital where he worked, and he was also curious about how this girl possessed martial arts skills. Although her strength was not impressive, it indicated that she had practiced martial arts. Why did he say this? Because he had seen too many scenes of chasing after a cat and mouse. Whenever it was time for injections or medication, the hospital would become lively, and it was his most troublesome time. A large group of people would mobilize and try their best to catch this girl who liked to run away when it was time for medication or injections.
But the most troublesome thing was that according to the examination report from two months ago, she was also pregnant. This forced them to make adjustments to the medications she was taking, as some drugs had side effects on the fetus.
Qi Xian thought to himself while nodding and smiling at his passing colleagues. Indeed, everyone knew that this girl was brought by his son, and his son happened to be a young and promising entrepreneur. Rumors had already spread like snowflakes.
"Ah..." Qi Xian sighed once again. He had no idea how many times he had sighed since the unidentified girl woke up. His son really knew how to bring trouble to their hospital.
"Qi Xian," a soft voice, which felt comforting, called out. It was a woman who appeared to be in her forties. She exuded a gentle radiance and had a smile on her face that showed compassion for the world, making her seem very approachable.
"Wenxian, why are you here?" Qi Xian looked at his beloved wife, and his face lit up with a smile. Ah... time ages a person. Looking at the snow-white marks in her hair, how much heartache had he endured? How much self-blame? How many tears had he shed in the place where Yun left all those years ago? But it had been over twenty years now. He still hoped that his wife could free herself from the torment of self-blame and truly experience her life.
"I came to see the girl that Haokai mentioned. Is she doing better now?" Wenxian said gently, her every movement and word showing no signs of aging. After all, she was already in her fifties. She didn't do anything special to maintain her appearance, but she naturally looked ten years younger than her actual age, possessing innate beauty.
"I think it's better if you don't go now," Qi Xian gently wrapped his arms around Wenxian's waist, expressing his thoughts while leading her towards his office.
Wenxian looked at her husband in confusion. What's going on?
"Let's have a drink of water first. Are you tired?" Qi Xian brought Wenxian into his office and immediately poured her a cup of tea, his actions filled with tenderness.
Wenxian sat down in the guest chair in the office and smiled softly, accepting the cup of water. She said gently, "I'm fine, but it's been a long time since I've been to the city. I'm starting to feel unfamiliar with it."
"I'm telling you, Wenxian, it's been so many years. You should let go. This way of thinking isn't fair to me or Haokai. I know it's different for you when it comes to Yun. But she's already gone. The living should look forward, not dwell in the past." Qi Xian held Wenxian's hand, speaking with deep sincerity.
"Qi Xian, I'm sorry. I know it's not fair to you or Haokai. But I can't forget how she slipped away from my arms bit by bit. Why didn't I hold on tighter back then?" Wenxian covered her face with her hands, and tears trickled down through her fingers.
"Ah..." Qi Xian let out a helpless and bitter sigh silently. He gently embraced his wife, feeling helpless in his heart. "Yun, if you can hear me from the heavens, please don't let your mother suffer from this sadness and self-blame anymore."
"Director, something's wrong." A careless nurse burst into the office without even knocking on the door. When she realized her recklessness, she felt extremely embarrassed but didn't leave the doorway. With a flushed face, she said, "Director, that patient... she climbed up the window. The situation is very dangerous."

"What?" Qi Xian was startled by the nurse's words, not caring that they were being seen in an affectionate scene with his wife. Oh my god... it's an 8th-floor window. If something were to happen accidentally... Qi Xian anxiously patted his wife's hand, indicating that he needed to handle the situation.
"I'm coming too," Wenxian's voice came from behind as Qi Xian was about to leave. Qi Xian turned to look at his wife's determined gaze and nodded without saying a word.
As soon as Wenxian received her husband's permission, she quickly followed behind him. Her intuition told her, "That female patient is very likely the girl Haokai brought."
"Miss, please calm down. We can talk about anything. Could you come down first?" A doctor, drenched in sweat, was speaking to a woman whose face was wrapped in bandages. Naturally, that woman was Pochun.
I don't understand why I'm here. What's even stranger is why these people are all dressed so strangely? And am I forced to climb onto the window ledge because of the man in front of me? He should be a man, right? He's brandishing a pair of sharp scissors in front of me. I instinctively sense danger and my body naturally reacts. That's how the current scene came about. I stand on the window ledge, staring coldly at the man. Out of the corner of my eye, I glimpse the view outside the window, and I'm greatly surprised.
When Qi Xian and Wenxian arrived at the ward, they saw this dangerous scene. Qi Xian, having communicated with his son, was not surprised that she would do such a thing, but Wenxian, seeing Pochun for the first time, had a different thought. She thought that Pochun was despairing of this world due to her disfigurement and wanted to end her life.
"Director, Sister-in-law," the doctors felt relieved when they saw their saviors arrive. Although Wenxian didn't come to the hospital often, many doctors and nurses knew her.
"What's happened now?" Qi Xian asked with displeasure written all over his face, naturally understanding that his son didn't bring an ordinary person, but this shouldn't have happened.
"Director, today was the day we were supposed to remove her bandages. I don't know why she suddenly flashed by and climbed onto the window ledge," the direct doctor answered nervously. It was nerve-wracking to face the questions of his superior. Everyone in the hospital knew that the girl standing on the window ledge was brought by the director's son. If something were to happen to her, it would be disastrous for him.
Qi Xian felt a headache and a sense of powerlessness. If they left her in the hospital, something bad was bound to happen. He looked back at his wife, who was looking at the girl with pity. He realized that his decision to let her stay with Wenxian was right. At least it wouldn't cause such a commotion.
"I think she's feeling scared. Why don't I try to talk to her?" Wenxian gently expressed her thoughts. Looking at the girl with a cold gaze, Wenxian's motherly love resurfaced once again.
"Alright, go ahead and give it a try." Time passed quickly. It had been three months since his son brought her here. The first two months were relatively calm due to her weak condition, but once she recovered, the hospital was in chaos because of her. Qi Xian also wanted to see if she would accept his wife. If she could, they could arrange for her discharge and let Wenxian take her back to their old house.
"Yes," Wenxian got her husband's approval and went forward alone. The doctors made way for the director's wife, grateful smiles appearing on their faces.
Wenxian stopped a few steps away from Pochun, her gentle smile shining. She spoke softly, "Miss, we can talk about anything. Could you come down first? It's a bit dangerous where you're standing."
Who is she? Pochun didn't understand this woman in front of her, but she instinctively felt that she wouldn't harm her. There was a comforting aura around her. Without making a sound, Pochun stared at her, wondering what she was going to do next.
Undeterred by Pochun's lack of response, Wenxian took a few more steps forward until there was only half an arm's length between her and Pochun. She lifted her head and smiled gently, saying softly, "Are you willing to make an old woman strain her neck to talk to you?"
I remained silent, my face completely wrapped in bandages. Only my eyes were exposed, and they were fixed on the woman beneath me. In her gaze, I couldn't see any disdain or pity. This recognition made me slowly lower my body and sit on the window ledge, staring coldly at the woman.

"Okay, why don't you go to the store and buy her some clothes," Qi Xian nodded, but thinking about the clothes she was wearing that day, it would be better to get her changed first.
"Okay," Wenxian obediently nodded, her face filled with affection. She looked at Pochun and said, "Child, would you come home with me?"
I stared blankly at this woman with a gentle smile, but I had a feeling. When she smiled kindly, she bore a resemblance to Yuntian.
Because of that feeling, I nodded passively.
