Chapter 207

The doctor asked Jing Yi's condition in detail and carefully examined her situation. "As long as she's awake, there shouldn't be any major issues," the doctor thought, feeling a bit relieved.

"Someone will come to give her a full body check-up shortly."

Lin Ruiqing and Jing Zejun stood by Jing Yi's bedside, tightly holding her hands, afraid that if they let go for a moment, they might not see her awake again.

Lin Ruiqing's eyes were red, her voice still a bit hoarse. "You're back, that's all that matters! You're back, that's all that matters!" She kept repeating these words.

Jing Yi's eyes welled up with tears, a bittersweet feeling in her heart as she squeezed Lin Ruiqing's hand back.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you worry so much."

Lin Ruiqing, though her own eyes were still red, reached out to wipe Jing Yi's tears, as gentle as ever. "There's nothing to be sorry for. As long as you're awake, Mom would do anything."

Several wealthy businessmen stood in a row, their faces pale and haggard, but their excitement and relief were evident in their eyes.

They stood in a line by Jing Yi's hospital bed, a familiar scene.

"Jing Yi, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I would have had to slap you awake!"

As soon as Jing Zeqian said this, the others in the room shot him reproachful glances.

Seeing Jing Zeqian, the first person she saw when she woke up, still looking the same, Jing Yi couldn't help but laugh. She repeated, "Second Brother, you look so ugly."

Jing Zeqian heard this clearly. "What?! Who am I doing this for?" He touched his face, asking tentatively, "Am I really that ugly?"

Jing Yi's smile widened as she nodded lightly, "Very ugly."

The familiar sounds of bickering filled the room again.

Jing Yi smiled as she looked at the people surrounding her—her family, Shen Huaichu, Shen Xi, Wen Yin, and many others.

Jing Yi had never believed that anyone could love her so much, but they were all waiting for her to come home.

She had heard them, heard that they were all waiting for her to come home.

Jing Yi's heart felt calm again. Suddenly, she paused.

Could they still hear her thoughts now?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jing Zeqian, you big dummy!

Jing Zeqian, you big dummy!

Jing Zeqian handed Jing Yi the apple he had just peeled, seeing her staring at him, he thought she was moved by his concern.

His lips couldn't help but curl up, the joy in his eyes evident. "What are you looking at? Eat it, do you want anything else?"

Jing Yi's eyes lit up. Could they really not hear her thoughts anymore?

Although she had said as much to the original Jing Yi, Jing Yi still felt a bit uneasy. After all, who wouldn't want a little privacy?

"Then some grapes, please."

Jing Yi glanced at him secretly, no reaction? Should she test again?

"Second Brother, is there anything you want to say to me?"

If you really can hear me, just 'meow' once, and as a reward, 'Midnight' is yours!

Jing Yi felt a pang in her heart. This was a big deal.

Jing Zeqian's hand paused slightly. Jing Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could he still hear her?

He looked up at Jing Yi, his eyes filled with deep self-reproach and guilt. "I want to apologize to you." Jing Yi was taken aback. "Apologize?"

For what?

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't left Song Yuanye unresolved, leaving you with such a hidden danger, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Yi Yi, I'm sorry."

Jing Zeqian looked like he was about to cry. Jing Yi chuckled at her second brother. "You can't control whether someone else has malicious intentions against me, can you?"

"But..."

Jing Yi put the peeled apple aside and gently patted his head. "There are no 'buts'. You're all too tense. I'm fine now, the doctor said it's just minor injuries."

In truth, the injuries from this car accident were even lighter than those she had suffered when escaping from Wang Boqi, except that she had gained a strange experience.

But, could that have just been a dream?

Jing Zeqian, with red eyes, pushed Jing Yi's hand away and glared at her. "Jing Yi, I'm your older brother. Don't be disrespectful." Jing Yi pouted. "Crybaby brother."

Forget it, whether it was a dream or not, it's all in the past.

The siblings started bickering again. There was a knock on the door, and it was Shen Huaichu.

He stopped at the door, waiting for Jing Yi's permission.

Jing Yi looked at him as if they were separated by an eternity, even though it had only been a few days.

She smiled at Jing Zeqian. "Second Brother, I want some porridge from that place near the hospital. Could you go buy it for me?" Jing Zeqian, of course, didn't want to, but Jing Yi's pleading look was too obvious.

He sighed. "Alright! I'll go buy it now." As he left, Jing Zeqian passed by Shen Huaichu and gave him a warning glance.

The room was left with only Jing Yi and Shen Huaichu.

She smiled and patted the spot beside her. "Come sit."

This scene seemed a bit familiar. Wasn't it like this when they first got together?

Jing Yi found it a bit funny and a bit sad. Was their relationship really doomed? Why did every important conversation happen in the hospital?

"Did I scare you?"

When Jing Yi was about to lose consciousness from the crash, she saw Shen Huaichu running towards her. He looked desperate.

A heavy sense of oppression filled Shen Huaichu's chest. He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse. "I thought... I thought you never wanted to talk to me again." He felt like he was bound by an invisible restraint, even his breathing was cautious.

Jing Yi wanted to smile to ease the heavy atmosphere in the room, but her lips wouldn't lift.

During her coma, she had thought a lot—about her family, about 'Jing Yi', and about Shen Huaichu.

She wondered if she would become another 'Jing Yi'.

Because of love, would she give up everything?

"Shen Huaichu, if I said I've considered giving up being a race car driver, you..." Before she could finish, Shen Huaichu suddenly looked up, his voice trembling. "No!"

Jing Yi opened her mouth slightly, stunned for a few seconds.

He stared at Jing Yi, the redness at the corners of his eyes evident. "You don't need to give up anything."

It turned out that when he became the one being chosen, he wasn't as happy as he thought.

A sudden pain struck Shen Huaichu's heart. He carefully held Jing Yi's hand, and she didn't pull away.

"Yi Yi, that day you said you didn't need me to be there, but I still went. I'm sorry."

Jing Yi's lashes fluttered. She had seen it, even though he had hidden it deeply, she had still seen it.

"My parents died in a car accident, right in front of me. It was a big truck, the car's brakes failed, there was a loud screeching sound, the speed was too fast, out of control, and then the car crashed..."

This was the first time Shen Huaichu had spoken about this. He tightly held Jing Yi's hand, as if doing so would give him the courage.
