A month had passed since Su Xiaofei gave birth to her daughters. Yun Qingrong and Qiao Fengyin were two of her most constant visitors, wanting to see if she had woken up and was recovering well. The two had been on edge for the past two weeks, eversince Su Xiaofei didn't wake up after Han Zijun deed her ready to be roused from her coma.
Lu Qingfeng didn't have the heart to tell Yun Qingrong the truth, but he was able to confess to his father-in-law. Obviously, Qiao Fengying had thrown a fit and almost blad him for failing to protect his daughter.
His father-in-law didn't talk to him since then and had avoided him at all costs and Lu Qingfeng couldn't bla Qiao Fengying for reacting like that, since he was also quite disappointed with himself. Lu Qingfeng knew that he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for that for a very long ti. However, Qiao Fengying still dropped by to see Su Xiaofei and his grandchildren.
As for Yun Qingrong, Xi Qian took the heavy burden and lied to her, claiming that it was an after-effect of Su Xiaofei's body trying to deliver the twins too early. It pained Xi Qian to know that she had lied to the person she treated like her own mother, but she also knew how Yun Qingrong would react if she knew the truth about her daughter's poisoning.
"Aunty Qing, are you sure you don't want to go ho yet? You need to take care of yourself, or else, Feifei would be upset if she found out that you are neglecting your health because of her." Xi Qian asked Yun Qingrong.
The older woman shook her head and held her daughter's hand. Su Xiaofei was already transferred from the ICU to a VIP room where she could recuperate in private. Everyday, after her work, Yun Qingrong would sit next to her daughter and speak to her. Sotis, she would go to the NICU to read books to her grandchildren.
Su Xiaofei remained the sa. While all her vitals were normal, she wasn't waking up. Her brain was still active, which made Lu Qingfeng wonder where she was and what she was experiencing while in coma.
"I suppose you are right." Yun Qingrong sighed. She was about to stand up from her seat when she caught sothing that made her stop.
"Qian, what's wrong with Feifei?" She asked worriedly. "Why is she crying?"
Xi Qian imdiately stepped forward, her heart racing in her chest. She checked on her best friend, noticing that Su Xiaofei was starting to show signs of consciousness. She sprinted outside to call Lu Qingfeng and Han Zijun imdiately.
Lu Qingfeng was the first one to arrive. He went beside his wife and saw that she was crying in her sleep while Yun Qingrong decided to step back, eyes filled with tears and worry.
"What's happening?" She asked Lu Qingfeng, but even her son-in-law had no idea how to answer her, since he was clueless himself.
Tears were streaming down his wife's face and he didn't know how much longer he needed to endure until Su Xiaofei woke up. Lu Qingfeng knew that his sanity was almost at its limit and he was afraid of what he might do if she died again.
Suddenly, Su Xiaofei made a gasping sound, as if she was trying to catch her breath. Then she started coughing and gasping for air. Su Xiaofei was waking up. Lu Qingfeng bent down over her and held her on her shoulders, seeing her eyes open.
"A-Feng?" She murmured, before she was engulfed into his tight embrace.
"Don't you ever dare to scare like that again." He said, kissing the top of her crown as he allowed himself to shed a few tears.
Lu Qingfeng was relieved that Su Xiaofei had woken up and was alive. She wasn't going to leave him nor their daughters.
Yun Qingrong was crying happily as she saw that her daughter had finally awakened. Xi Qian returned with Han Zijun and Lu Qingfeng begrudgingly let go of his wife to allow the doctor to check on her condition.
Half an hour later, Su Xiaofei was left with her husband. Lu Qingfeng sat on the bed and held her without saying anything. He was content on knowing that he had her back in his arms again.
"How long have I been asleep?" She asked, breaking the silence between them.
"A month. Han Zijun and I agreed to have you in a two-week dically induced coma, but after that, you didn't wake up. You gave everyone quite a scare because of it, though Han ZIjun assured us that everything is fine now."
"You an I don't have the cold poison anymore?" Su Xiaofei pulled away from him and looked at his face. He said that she'd been asleep for a month, yet she didn't feel like she hadn't seen him for that long.
"Yes, but to be sure, he decided to put you under observation for the next few weeks to make sure that they've completely removed it from your system." He paused as he rembered her crying during her awakening. "Do you rember why you were crying when you woke up?"
"I was crying?" Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow at him. "Isn't it because I was trying to catch my breath?" How was she supposed to know what made her cry when she just gained her consciousness?
Lu Qingfeng shook his head. "No. Mother saw you crying before Xi Qian noticed that you were waking up. I thought that you might have experienced sothing out of this world again. To be honest, I was worried that the Su Xiaofei who would return to would be another one from another lifeti."
Su Xiaofei froze, not considering such a possibility, but she was relieved that she was able to return to them. She couldn't rember what made her cry earlier, but she felt better than ever.
