He knew that the future between them had become very uncertain.
If there had been huge hopes before, then Huo Youcheng’s accident was the sharp blade that shattered those hopes. It once again tore apart their unstable relationship, and regardless of whether Huo Youcheng could wake up or not, or whether he could recover his health after waking up, it would be difficult for them to move forward.
The shackles named “morality” firmly bound them again, tightly tying them together, making it difficult for them to break free.
“Alright…” Ye Zhi opened his mouth, only able to utter this word. Any more words were no longer suitable for him to say.
Huo Youcheng stayed in the intensive care unit for five days before finally waking up.
His awakening relieved everyone around him.
Even the attending doctor was excited. When he came out to inform the others, there was an excited smile on his face as he said, “Based on my previous clinical experience, I thought he would be in a coma for at least a month, and there was even a thirty percent chance that he would never wake up. But I didn’t expect him to wake up so quickly. It seems that not only is the patient’s physical condition good, but his will to survive is also very strong.”
Madam Huo cried with excitement, grabbing his hand and asking, “Is he… is he awake?”
The human body’s heaviest part is the brain. With today’s medical technology, special heart replacements can treat severe heart disease, but the brain cannot be replaced with any instrument because it has the most complex tissue structure. Injuries to the brain can easily cause sequelae, such as amnesia or confusion.
The doctor said, “He is conscious, but still tired, so it’s not suitable for group visits yet.”
Severely ill patients have half an hour of visiting time each day, and unless there are special circumstances, only one person is allowed in at a time. So, on the first day, Huo Youqiao went in, while others waited outside.
All the members of the Huo family gathered upon hearing the news of his awakening, even relatives who were not so close by blood came, and all his friends waited outside.
Qing Qing stayed beside Ye Zhi.
He, who was already not very talkative, became even more so during this time. His slender body became even more emaciated, his cheeks pale without a trace of color, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Madam Huo, who was originally worried, didn’t notice him until later and was startled when she did. It was only then that she remembered to comfort him. Someone seemed even more fragile than her. Her emotions stabilized somewhat, and she would hold Ye Zhi’s hand and say, “Good child, Ah Cheng has always been lucky, he will be fine.”
Ye Zhi also hoped he would be okay.
Although he no longer loved him, he still hoped he would recover, because the cause of the accident lay with him.
If it weren’t for his resistance, Huo Youcheng probably wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to seek his true forgiveness, wouldn’t have planned such a surprise, and wouldn’t have learned to pilot an airship, which then caused the accident—yes, the cause of the accident was investigated, and the surveillance on the airship showed that it was indeed due to Huo Youcheng’s mishandling.
And the reason for the mishandling was also very simple: he had only started learning how to pilot an airship ten days before the accident. Although airships are lightweight aircraft, their operating systems are much more complex than airplanes. It normally takes over a year for an ordinary person to learn to operate an airship, and three years or more to become proficient.
Ten days was just too rushed.
However, he was eager to reconcile with Ye Zhi, so he planned such a wedding ceremony. In his original plan, after landing on the small planet, he would kneel in front of Ye Zhi with roses and truly propose to him, then they would both wear custom-made outfits and, when the sunlight descended, they would swear to each other at the most beautiful place at sunset, becoming true lovers.
The first visitation time ended, and when Huo Youqiao came out, everyone surrounded him, their eyes filled with concern, including Ye Zhi.
Huo Youqiao spoke up, “He is conscious and recognizes who I am.”
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yanzhou even wiped away tears and said, “I knew Second Young Master was blessed with good fortune, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Qing Qing also became happy, mainly for Ye Zhi, “Zhizhi, did you hear that? Second Young Master Huo is fine, he’s been rescued.”
The second visitation slot was given to Ye Zhi. Actually, Madam Huo wanted to go in and see her youngest son, but her husband was afraid she wouldn’t be able to bear seeing her son’s condition and stopped her, using a very clever reason, “Ah Cheng is already married, the most important person in his life should be his partner. Haven’t you seen how worried Xiao Ye has been these days? Let him go and see him with peace of mind.”
