When Shen Lan regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital.
"You're awake?" Shen Xiu had spent the whole afternoon at her bedside.
Shen Xiu had rushed over when he heard the news. The medical professional had performed a thorough examination of Shen Lan's body. She was physically fine, but unconscious nonetheless.
The medical professional reasoned that excessive stress was to blame.
When Shen Xiu recalled that Shen Lan had met with a man named Zhou Li earlier in the day, he grasped the situation.
"Uncle... Is that really you? How are you still here?" Shen Lan felt a lump in her throat as she opened her watery eyes and saw the man standing next to her.
"What are you talking about? Why would I not be here when you're sick?" While Shen Xiu's expression was cold and severe, his tone was surprisingly gentle.
He took a few tissues from the side and gently dabbed Shen Lan's eyes to wipe away her tears.
