Han Luo woke up when the sunlight was bothering her too much. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered open. As the sunlight hit her eyes, she squeezed her eyes. It took her time to adjust her eyes to the sunlight.
Her eyes landed on the white ceiling.
'Heaven. It must be heaven. So, I died. How unfortunate. I wished to at least have a happy family with big brother Yuan.'
.
When she thought of Mo Yuan, she felt like her heart was stung by something sharp.
"Yuan!"
She abruptly raised her upper body and sat up. Her eyes looked around and found herself in the hospital bed.
She recalled how pale and cold Mo Yuan's body was. It was almost like a dead body. Her mother's bloody face came to her mind.
Han Luo involuntarily trembled. Her head spun as she forced herself not to think about unspeakable things.
'I have to find him. I have to find Yuan.'
Despite feeling weak, she tried to get down from the bed. Her arm was stuck with something. It pained her.
She looked down and saw a saline pipe attached to her arm. She took it out without care and got up.
As she opened the door of her room, she was welcomed by numerous flowers. The mesmerizing mixed scent of the flowers relaxed her heart.
She walked forward with trembling legs and found a nurse coming toward her with a file.
When the nurse noticed her, she seemed surprised. Afterward, before Han Luo could say anything, she dropped the file and ran out.
"Umm…" Han Luo was dumbfounded.
She wanted to ask about Mo Yuan but the nurse reacted so abruptly that she couldn't say anything.
She let out a sigh and took another step when the door burst open and one doctor, three nurses and several people followed behind them. They all rushed toward Han Luo.
Han Luo froze on the spot, not sure what to do.
Before she knew it, she was taken to her hospital bed and the doctor and the nurses started examining her health.
Speechless, Han Luo glanced at the people behind the nurses.
She saw Han Sheng Ming, Ma Rui, Zheng Mian, Noah, and Tang Yujin.
Her eyes welled up as she saw their concerned and relieved expressions.
She couldn't believe she was seeing them again. She almost let go of her hope to see them ever again.
Han Sheng Ming panicked as he saw her tears. "Doctor! Doctor! My little Luo Luo is crying. She must be in pain. Please take away her pain."
The doctor patiently said, "Relax, Mr. Han, she is completely fine. Her pulse is okay and her injuries are already gone. She shouldn't have any pain after a month."
"…A month?" Han Luo blurted out in a hoarse voice. She coughed immediately since her throat was dry.
The nurse handed her a glass of water. She immediately chugged down the water. The cool water touched her throat. As if a desert found an oasis. It gave her a new life.
The nurse gently wiped her mouth. Afterward, Han Luo glanced at Han Sheng Ming.
"Have I been here for a month now?" she inquired.
"Yes, Luo'er. You were mentally and physically exhausted. You were in a coma. If it weren't for Mr. Mu, we wouldn't dream of seeing you so soon."
Ma Rui answered and wiped her eyes. Her face looked haggard. When Mo Yuan and Han Luo went missing, she was the one who was terrified the most.
She blamed herself for not being able to become a good mother to protect her children. Day and night, she prayed to Lord Buddha so that her children came back to her.
Staring at Ma Rui, Han Luo remembered the crucial point.
"Big brother Yuan, how is he? Is he awake?"
There was pin-drop silence in the room. No one talked. All of them exchanged glances.
Han Luo's heart beat like a crazy roller coaster.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you answering my question?"
Her voice quivered. She was frightened by their silence.
However, no one talked. Even the nurses avoided meeting her eyes.
"What's wrong? How is big brother Yuan? Why aren't you answering?"
She shouted, at last, not being able to take it anymore.
"Umm… Luo, are you sure you should call him 'big brother Yuan'? Aren't you guys married?" Zheng Mian mentioned. She seemed confused.
Han Luo was taken aback. "You knew? How?"
"What how? After Mr. Mu brought you back, we met his assistant in the hospital. They handed us your marriage certificate. We were so surprised when we heard that you guys got married."
Noah explained to her. Even he couldn't hide her astonishment.
"Not to mention Ah Ming fainted the moment he saw the marriage certificate," Zheng Mian mentioned. "He couldn't believe that you two married."
"What do you mean by they are married? It's a conspiracy. I'm sure Xiao Yuan fooled my little Luo Luo and married her because no one was there to catch him!"
Han Sheng Ming retorted and blamed everything on his childhood friend, Mo Yuan.
He wasn't just upset. He was furious when he found out about the marriage certificate. He wanted to tear Mo Yuan into shreds.
If it wasn't for Tang Yujin, he would definitely jump over the half-dead Mo Yuan without mercy.
"You shouldn't call him Xiao Yuan anymore. Call him brother-in-law," Tang Yujin corrected his friend. He discreetly smiled and amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Don't say that!" Han Sheng Ming barked at him.
"Anyway, are you feeling better, little Luo?" Tang Yujin ignored his friend and paid attention to Han Luo.
Han Luo replied, "I'm fine. But what about Yuan? Is he okay?"
Tang Yujin told her, "He lost too much blood and so he had to stay in the emergency room for two weeks. He woke up a week ago."
Han Luo signed in relief. "As long as he is okay."
"But why did you call him 'big brother Yuan'? Did you forget that you married him?" Zheng Mian wouldn't let the topic go no matter what.
