In another ward at the same hospital, Mrs. Xu was with Professor Xu.
"You're finally awake!"
Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she saw Professor Xu open his eyes. She rushed over and hugged him excitedly.
The doctor and nurse tried to restrain Mrs. Xu. "Don't get too excited, Mrs. Xu. Professor Xu is still very weak."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I got carried away."
Mrs. Xu got up and wiped away the tears in her eyes. She was overjoyed that her husband had regained consciousness.
The doctor and nurse gave Professor Xu a full medical checkup to make sure everything was normal. Professor Xu looked at Mrs. Xu and then glanced at the medical staff.
He was not able to move his head. His muscles also felt very stiff.
"Professor Xu, do you feel anything here?"
Professor Xu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Why don't you use your head? Nod your head if you feel anything, and shake your head if you don't."
