Due to the intense pain he had experienced earlier, his vision had temporarily darkened, leaving him unable to see anything. However, upon detecting the familiar scent of jasmine, he immediately recognized that Song Fan was by his side.

Gu Chen gripped her hand and inquired, "Is my condition worsening?"
