The next day.
After two consecutive nights of watching over He Tong without rest, Bai Zheyan finally succumbed to his body's needs and fell into a deep sleep at the side of He Tong's bed as dawn approached.
However, his restless concern for He Tong meant Bai Zheyan did not sleep well, and he was startled awake not long after.
Upon waking, Bai Zheyan gazed at his wife lying on the hospital bed, his heart aching fiercely.
A while later, he received a phone call.
Bai Zheyan glanced at the caller ID and then stepped out of the hospital room.
Not long after, he returned, accompanied by several others.
As they entered the room, He Tong's mother caught sight of her daughter lying in bed and began crying in grief.
Her father, Bai Zheyan's father-in-law, stood with a grim expression, his fists clenched tightly.
Following behind them were Bai Zheyan's own parents.
The parents of both spouses had all come.
