“At this moment, Ye Wanwan’s face was ashen, and the man beside her, looking at the woman, didn’t know how to comfort her.
“Ajiu, I want to stay with my brother,” Ye Wanwan said after some time.
“Alright,” Si Yehan wanted to say more, but at this moment, any words felt inadequate. He could only gently stroke the girl’s hair.
After getting the doctor’s permission, Ye Wanwan entered the hospital room alone.
At this moment, Nie Wuming lay alone on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tank attached to his nose and mouth. He was motionless, his face showing no signs of pain, as if he were peacefully asleep.
“Brother…”
Ye Wanwan walked to the bedside, tightly holding Nie Wuming’s hands.
“Brother, please wake up… You wanted to make money and do business, right? Wake up, I’ll hand over everything from the Fearless Alliance… I’ll have Ajiu do the same, give you all the business, okay?”
Ye Wanwan stared at Nie Wuming on the hospital bed, who showed no signs of movement. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Ye Wanwan gently shook Nie Wuming’s arm. She couldn’t bear to lose him; it was a pain too unbearable to bear.
In her mind, memories of her time with Nie Wuming flashed faintly.
Although Ye Wanwan had left the Nie family since she was young, living with her grandfather, every moment with Nie Wuming was cherished and precious.
“Brother, do you remember when we were kids… I was bullied, and you picked up a brick and smashed the other person’s head… many times…”
In the hospital room, Ye Wanwan alternated between laughter and tears.
Outside the hospital room, Si Yehan remained silent.
…
“Brother, do you know, this time… you’re still protecting me. Even though you’ve lost consciousness, you’re still protecting your useless little sister… Brother, no matter how others see you, you’ll always be the greatest hero in my heart…”
“Brother… please wake up… didn’t you say that as long as I can withstand three of your moves, you’ll agree to all my reasonable and unreasonable requests? I’m sure I can handle three moves now, maybe even more… You can’t break your promise, you have to wake up and fulfill it… please…”
Ye Wanwan held Nie Wuming’s hands tighter, as if letting go even a little would mean losing her brother forever, never to appear in her life again.
Ye Wanwan stayed by Nie Wuming’s side in the hospital room, not moving an inch, and accompanied him throughout the night.
Outside the hospital room, Si Yehan remained just as vigilant, guarding through this difficult night.
…
The next morning, the soft sunlight filtered through the window into the hospital room.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, subconsciously reaching for Nie Wuming’s hands. “Brother… don’t…”
But before she could finish speaking, Ye Wanwan realized that the hospital bed was empty.
A sense of unease and panic instantly shrouded Ye Wanwan’s heart.
Almost in an instant, Ye Wanwan got up, her face full of panic, and was about to rush out of the hospital room.
However, as soon as Ye Wanwan stood up, she saw Nie Wuming, wearing a patient’s gown, sitting by the small table under the window, legs crossed, and nibbling on an apple that he hadn’t finished.
Ye Wanwan stared at Nie Wuming, completely dumbfounded and distant, her mind blank.
Nie Wuming, on the other hand, looked bewildered at Ye Wanwan. The two of them locked eyes.
“Want some?” Seeing that Ye Wanwan hadn’t spoken, Nie Wuming held out the half-eaten apple towards her.
Ye Wanwan’s gaze slowly fell on the apple that Nie Wuming offered, and she subconsciously took the apple.”
