Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Uncle Zhong returned to the ward and told Anan to go and rest, while he would stay with Fu Zhengting.

Although Anan was very tired, he didn't go. He joked, "Uncle Zhong, you're getting on in years and you need to rest more."

Uncle Zhong feigned displeasure and said, "Anan, how dare you speak like that?"

"Uncle Zhong, I'm serious. Staying up late really does a lot of damage when you get older. I'm still young, I'll be fine." Anan smiled and then spoke very seriously.

I used to practice martial arts at the International Academy, which instilled in me the good habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

Staying up late is extremely taxing on the body. Some people even exercise after staying up late, which accelerates the depletion of energy and greatly increases the risk of sudden death.

Sometimes sleep is the best tonic, and being able to eat and sleep well is the greatest blessing.

Uncle Zhong patted Anan's strong arm and sighed with a hint of envy, "It's really good to be young!"

He was in good health when he was young.

No matter how good your health is, as you get older, you have to accept that you're getting old.

Looking back on my running training in my youth, I am struck by how fast time flies.

From youth to old age, life seems to consist of nothing more than yesterday and today.

When I was young, seeing elderly people with hunchbacks and difficulty moving around always made me think about what I would do when I got old and couldn't walk anymore.

Before I knew it, I had grown old.

Fu Zhengting has grown from a naive young man into a mature man.

He practically watched Fu Zhengting grow up.

It's natural to feel heartache when your own child gets hurt.

He only hoped that Fu Zhengting's injuries would heal quickly and that he wouldn't suffer any lasting effects.

I've been in a state of high tension and worry for the past two days, but now I can finally relax.

I get sleepy as soon as I relax.

As I get older, I really can't stay up late anymore.

However, his physical condition is considered very good among his peers.

My eyes are sore and dry, I could fall asleep standing up.

He patted Anan's arm and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Anan."

There was a sofa in the VIP ward, so he went over and lay down on it.

No need to worry about Fu Zhengting anymore, he fell asleep instantly as soon as he lay down.

Anan got sleepy after guarding the place for a while, and his craving for cigarettes kicked in, so he wanted to smoke a couple to wake himself up.

He opened the door and went out.

Xiao Hailan, in the opposite ward, kept her ears perked up, observing the commotion outside.

Judging from the footsteps, the person left the ward, not entered it.

A thought struck her, and she suddenly stood up.

I was so sleepy I was almost closing my eyes, but now I'm wide awake.

Afraid of waking Jiang Hui, he walked slowly and quietly to the door, opening it with even gentler movements.

The door was too loud to close completely, so she didn't close it fully, leaving it half-open.

When we reached the ward across the street, we quietly pushed the door open and went in.

Uncle Zhong fell into a deep sleep and did not notice anyone coming in.

Only one dim light was on in the ward. Fu Zhengting, lying on the bed, was not asleep; he was listening intently with his ears perked up.

He knew someone was slowly approaching him.

Sensing no hostility, he continued to pretend to be asleep with his eyes closed.

Soon, Xiao Hailan stood by the hospital bed; she just wanted to come in and see her son with her own eyes.

Because I was too indifferent in the past, I really want to make amends.

But now my son has forgotten those things.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the son is unknown.

Having no memory is like arriving in this unfamiliar world for the first time.

If she has the memory, then it will be very difficult for this heartless mother to reconcile with her son.

She didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Fu Zhengting.

Afraid that Anan would return soon, she didn't dare to look for too long. She pulled the blanket up to cover Fu Zhengting more tightly before turning around and leaving.

Fu Zhengting opened his eyes the moment the door closed.

In the dim light, his eyes were full of confusion.

Then he stared in the direction of the door.

This person is strange.

Based on what I heard before, it should be his mother.

A mother and son should be very close.

This person, however, was very cautious.

I'm afraid I'll do something wrong.

Everything around me is strange.

The confusion in his eyes deepened.

Forget it, I can't remember anything no matter how hard I try, and my head is throbbing terribly.

forget about it.

Sleep is the most important thing.

He felt uncomfortable lying flat on his back and wanted to try turning over and sleeping on his side.

My head hurt so badly it felt like it was going to explode when I turned over.

He dared not move and returned to a proper sleeping position.

Xiao Hailan returned to Jiang Hui's ward and fell asleep on the bed.

When Qin Dongyang and the others returned to Dongcheng, it was just beginning to get light.

Mu Tiantian fell asleep in the car.

Xia Guiying held her head and gently placed it on her shoulder.

Looking at Mu Tiantian's peaceful sleeping face, she really looks exactly the same as when she was a child.

It's so good that my daughter can still sleep so peacefully beside me.

Qin Dongyang got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and wanted to wake Mu Tiantian, but Xia Guiying raised her hand and pressed it to his lips to stop him. "Don't call her. Let our daughter sleep a little longer. I'll go in with her when she wakes up."

Being woken up when you're sleeping the deepest is the most unpleasant thing.

Qin Dongyang joked, "Aying, I think you're about to become a doting father."

Xia Guiying raised her chin with a hint of pride, "I finally found such a beautiful and obedient daughter, of course she'll be spoiled."

"Then let's spoil our darling daughter like a little princess together," Qin Dongyang said happily.

He also wanted to spend time with his daughter, but now he had to get ready to leave for the company.

He glanced at his watch and said to Xia Guiying, "Aying, I'm going to the company now. I'll have the driver take another car. I'll tell the housekeeper to call the servants back to cook and do a thorough cleaning. You've worked hard these past two days, so rest with our daughter."

Xia Guiying nodded, her gaze towards Qin Dongyang softening slightly.

Qin Dongyang worked even harder than her.

I haven't slept much these past two days because of my father-in-law's situation.

As Qin Dongyang turned to walk with the driver to another car, she said, "Why don't you take a couple of days off too?"

Qin Dongyang shook his head, "No need, it'll be Saturday in two more days. The paternity test results will be out then, and I'll take a day off."

Because there were no boys to train, and because he was a workaholic who loved his job, he would go to the company unless he absolutely had to take a vacation.

Xia Guiying knew Qin Dongyang's style, so she didn't say anything.

"After we recognize our daughter, we'll take her to pay respects to my mother," Qin Dongyang said solemnly.

"Okay!" Xia Guiying felt a little heavy-hearted again when she thought of her deceased mother-in-law.

Unfortunately, her mother-in-law wasn't as healthy as her father-in-law and didn't live to see her daughter return.

Qin Dongyang patted Xia Guiying's arm and comforted her, "If my mother knew this in heaven, she would be happy for us."

Xia Guiying nodded.

The two had an unspoken agreement that now that their daughter had been found, they would never mention the divorce or the loss of their child again.

Qin Dongyang went back to his room, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and then set off for the company.
