After Song An said those words, Han Muzi felt that her heart raced. Thump! Thump! Thump! Her heart was close to bursting out of her chest.
Han Muzi opened her lips, wanting to say something, but Song An teased her instead, “Do not get so excited. You need to learn to keep your mind calm. You’re pregnant, so you can’t afford to be this emotional. Learn to control your emotions, alright?”
“I’m sorry.” Han Muzi smiled apologetically before covering her mouth and composing herself. She opened her mouth again to speak, “I’ll control myself better, Aunty. As soon as the snow stops falling, I will immediately return.”
“You do not need to hurry. Your safety is the most important.”
The snow fell for two whole days before it started to fade off. The highway was still blocked, so it would be much slower for Xiao Su, Yan, and Han Muzi to return. Han Muzi was embarrassed to urge them, so they stayed in the neighboring city for four days before heading back. The first thing that they did when they returned to North City was to visit the hospital.
“You are too anxious.” Song An furrowed her brows.
“Aunty, am I not back safely now? Besides, we have stayed there for a long time now. Thank you for these few days. I will take care of him from here. You can now head back to rest.”
After giving it a thought, Song An nodded and went home with the old man.
As soon as they were gone, Han Muzi accompanied Ye Moxuan alone while holding his hand. “I have gone so far to pray for you. If you can hear me, please wake up soon. You cannot just sleep here forever,” she murmured to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he could hear it. Now, there wasn’t anyone in sight, so she wanted to say these words just to him, “My baby and I need you. You need to quickly wake up. It does not matter if you cannot remember the past.” After that, she started to stammer at him and slept on his arms in the end. When Yan saw the scene after arriving at night, she was instantly angry yet distressed. It is clear to Muzi that she is a pregnant woman, but she still lies down like that without knowing that she may catch a cold.
Seeing the same scene, Xiao Su pressed his lips and told Yan, “I think we better wake Young Lady Ye up. It is not good for her to sleep like this.”
“I think so too.” Yan nodded before waking Han Muzi up.
After Han Muzi was woken up, she instinctively rubbed her eyes. “Yan, you’re here?”
Han Muzi didn’t know what time it was, so she wanted to check on the time. Yan lifted her up afterward, scowling, “Why can’t you take good care of yourself? How could you sleep here like that?” When Han Muzi tried to get up, her legs were numb and she sat right back in the chair. “What is it?” Yan asked.
Han Muzi was embarrassed. “It’s probably because I had been in this posture for such a long time that my legs are feeling a bit numb.” With that, she rubbed her legs and Yan scolded her while helping out.
After that, Xiao Su said to Han Muzi, “You can leave him here with me.”
Han Muzi frowned her beautiful brows. “But you drove a long way yesterday. Did you have enough rest?”
“Don’t worry, Young Lady Ye. I had enough sleep today, so I am energetic now. Besides, Young Master Ye’s condition has been stable lately. I can find some time to rest during the night.”
On the second day, Han Muzi accompanied Ye Moxuan and spoke a lot to him again. In the end, she couldn’t help but doze off before she had a dream. In her dream, Ye Moxuan was awake but he had forgotten all of his past and couldn’t recognize Little Bean or even his child inside Han Muzi. Afterward, he even said to her coldly, “Woman, don’t think you can fool me by making up these lies! How could I fall in love with a woman like you?” He then gave Han Muzi a hard push and she accidentally fell down the stairs.
She suddenly woke up in shock and broke out in cold sweat. The first thing that she did was to check on her belly. When she realized that there wasn’t any pain in her belly, she gradually calmed down and saw that Ye Moxuan still lay peacefully on the bed, looking much better than yesterday. It was all just a dream, which was really a shock. Han Muzi raised her hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead, but her heart still raced, so she took some deep breaths to calm herself down.
After finally stabilizing her emotions, she held Ye Moxuan’s hand again. Her hands were sweaty due to her nervousness, but his palms were warm and dry, which were totally different from hers.
“I just had a nightmare that really scared me. I know that dreams are not real and it is impossible for you to abandon me, so… can you wake up sooner? Everyone is worried about you. The doctor said there is a chance you may wake up in a short period, but there is also a chance it will take longer for you to wake up. Let me tell you this, Ye Moxuan, after suffering so much before, I do not want to spend the rest of my life taking care of a vegetable. If… If… you are really in a vegetative state…” At this point, Han Muzi lowered her eyes as it began to fill up with water beads. Her vision was blurred by her tears as she opened her pink lips slightly. “Then I would not want you anymore.”
Just as she finished her words, she felt that Ye Moxuan seemed to twitch his fingertips. She froze on the spot as if she was struck by lightning. Instantly, she raised her head to look at his broad palm while her heart raced. Is this an illusion? Why did I feel that he just moved his hand…
At this moment, a weak yet familiar deep voice was heard. “Don’t you dare leave me.”
Han Muzi was stunned as her body froze and she became motionless. Her lashes trembled while she slowly raised her eyes to look at him.
At some point, Ye Moxuan had opened his eyes. Even after a deep sleep, he still had a profound look and it held her gaze like a metal chain while his lips were slightly pale. When he noticed that she stared at him, he still couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows as he reopened his thin lips. “Did you just say that you do not want me anymore?”
Meanwhile, Han Muzi couldn’t care less about what he was saying since she experienced a sudden wave of emotions—shock, excitement, irritation and anxiousness—at the same time. After sitting there blankly for ten seconds, she immediately pounced toward Ye Moxuan and hugged him tightly.
Ye Moxuan’s vision darkened when Han Muzi held on to his body. Then, her warm tears flowed to his neck.
Ye Moxuan held his breath as he felt heartache. This woman…
“You’re finally awake! Oh, I thought you will continue to sleep forever. This is great! You’re finally awake!”
Seeing her crying because of him, he immediately felt sorry for her. Then, he tried his best to gently wrap his hands around her waist. “Don’t cry. How could I leave you alone?”
His voice became exceptionally hoarse and it was probably a result of his long sleep. At first, Han Muzi felt emotional and she wanted to cry while hugging him, but hearing his husky voice, she only let him go and wiped her tears.
“Let me get you a glass of water.” When she got up to help him with some water, she suddenly remembered something. “No. I must get the doctor first to make sure that you’re fine before letting you drink some water.”
