It's been a week since Yun Qingrong received Bai Qingyue's organs. The surgery was deemed to be successful by the doctors, but even so, Yun Qingrong remained asleep, which only extended Su Xiaofei's worry about her mother.
Yun Qingrong was currently hooked to a breathing machine to help her, since her heart had stopped beating on its own in the operating room, but the doctors managed to get it back.
Su Xiaofei was glad that she wasn't inside the OR to witness it because it would surely break her beyond repair. Just the thought of losing her mother was enough to push her to the edge. However, seeing her mother in this state, not being able to breath on her own worried Su Xiaofei and her husband to no end.
Her brain was still active, so the doctors claimed, and Su Xiaofei wondered where her mother was and what she was doing at that moment.
Could Yun Qingrong see how she desperately wanted to have her back? Could she hear her silent pleas?
The doctors assured Su Xiaofei and the rest of the Yun family that Yun Qingrong's condition was now stable and that there were no signs of her body rejecting the new organs. However, they couldn't tell when she would wake up from her coma. This left their whole family wondering if Yun Qingrong would be able to wake up, or if they should prepare for the worst just in case she didn't.
When the doctors left, Su Xiaofei hadn't spoken a word and remained next to her mother.
"Feifei, dear, I heard that you are needed at Bluemedia. Why don't you go and let us look after your mother this time?" Her aunt Yan Mei said gently.
Yun Zhaonan nodded in agreement. The doctors had already done what they could do to help Yun Qingrong and what was left was only for her to wake up and reunite with them.
"We'll keep you posted on whatever that's happening here. Don't forget that your mother is a Yun, so she can't possibly give up without a fight. Since you took over Bluemedia, you can't turn your back on your obligations now. Regardless of who you are, you are also one of us, Xiaofei. You are Qing'er's daughter, so don't give up so easily."
Su Xiaofei simply stared at her mother, her face expressionless. Her lips then quivered slightly before she nodded in agreement.
Just as her uncle had said, she couldn't turn her back on Bluemedia because she would be putting her mother's legacy and years of hard work in jeapordy if she chose to neglect her duties. She needed to show herself tomorrow and face the board, and her Uncle Fang had already done his best to delay this important meeting with them.
She allowed her husband to take her away and lead her to the car that was waiting for her. As soon as she sat next to her husband in the backseat and shut the door, Su Xiaofei wept in silence.
"Mama is going to wake up, right? She already has the organs she needed, but why isn't she waking up? She should wake up!" She clung to Lu Qingfeng in despair. It was evident on her face that she was hurting, and she was just trying to remain calm in front of the Yun family.
"I wish I knew the right answer to your question, Feifei." Lu Qingfeng kissed her crown. It hurt to see her like this, and he was annoyed that he couldn't do anything but stay by her side throughout this ordeal.
"Just like the doctors said, it is up to her whether she wants to live or not. But do you know what I think, Feifei? I know Mother wouldn't want to see you in this state and would do her best to return to us, no matter how hard it would be." He told his wife, wiping the stream of tears on her face.
Su Xiaofei said nothing, but she continued to sob in his arms. She wasn't good at waiting for too long, unlike her husband.
When they returned home, she barely finished her dinner and went to bed as soon as she could. Lu Qingfeng could only look at her, filled with worry in his eyes. The past two weeks had been hell for all of them, and he wasn't sure how long it would take before everything was settled. It was obvious to him that he wouldn't be able to see Su Xiaofei smile genuinely again, not unless Yun Qingrong woke up and returned to them.
He then realized that for the first time, Yun Qingrong had a chance to change her fate in this lifetime. In his two previous lives, she died, leaving Feifei miserable and alone, which Mo Yuchen took advantage of.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help at all." He said once he settled next to his wife on their bed.
If only he was able to find a match for his mother-in-law earlier, Yun Qingrong wouldn't have slipped into a coma.
Su Xiaofei turned to her side and faced him. She took his hand and kissed his knuckle. She had no idea that her husband was harboring such thoughts.
She hadn't realized that Lu Qingfeng was also being hard on himself because of her. Even when they were younger, Lu Qingfeng strived to make her happy and content in his own way, regardless of what people thought of him.
"You have nothing to apologize for, dear. It's more than enough for me that you are here by my side. You are my strength, my support when I'm weak. I couldn't ask for a better husband than you." She assured him.
In her past life, when her mother died, she had no one to rely on, but now, she was surrounded with people who not only loved her, but also her mother. Su Xiaofei thought that she wouldn't be able to reach this far if not for their support.
