She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Shen Tang rushed to the phone and gripped the receiver tightly: "Feed?"

"This is Liu Jianguo from the Diancheng Public Security Bureau. Huo Xiuyuan and Chen Zhongyi have run into trouble in Diancheng. They were attacked. Huo Xiuyuan suffered a head injury and remains unconscious. Chen Zhongyi was also injured, but is out of danger."

Shen Tang's hand trembled as she held the microphone: "Where are they now?"

"At Diancheng People's Hospital."

Shen Tang was silent for two seconds: "Okay, I understand."

She hung up the phone and stood there.

Lin Manni walked over and said nervously:

"What's wrong? Why are you so pale? Did something happen to Huo Xiuyuan?"

Shen Tang looked at her and nodded.

"What happened?"

Lin Manni's usually cheerful face changed color.

"Head injury and unconscious." Shen Tang frowned. "I have to go to Diancheng. I'm leaving now."

"I'll go with you," Lin Manni said, and started to walk out.

Shen Tang shook her head: "You stay here. This place is just starting out, and we can't leave it unattended. I can go by myself."

Lin Manni looked at her for a few seconds: "Then call us when you get here."

"Gu Siming—"

Lin Manni turned around and beckoned to Gu Siming, then pulled out a wad of cash from her pocket and stuffed it into Shen Tang's hand.

"Take this money. No matter what, do everything you can to cure him," Lin Manni instructed.

Shen Tang accepted the money without hesitation.

"If that's not enough, call me again and I'll transfer the money to you."

"What's wrong?" Gu Siming ran over with a smile. "Oh dear, those girls are surrounding Song Cheng'an asking for autographs!"

Seeing that the two looked rather unhappy, Gu Siming's smile faded.

"What's wrong?"

"Now take Shen Tang to the train station and buy the earliest train ticket to Diancheng," Lin Manni paused, "Huo Xiuyuan is in trouble."

Gu Siming didn't ask any more questions. "Let's go!"

He turned and walked out, and Shen Tang took her bag and followed him.

"Be careful on the road!" Lin Manni saw him to the door.

It was completely dark when we came out of the Paramount Ballroom.

Shen Tang sat in the passenger seat, staring into the darkness ahead.

Her heart clenched tightly. Huo Xiuyuan would be alright; he would wake up.

Gu Siming glanced at her but didn't ask any questions.

There were no sleeper berths available, so I bought a standing ticket.

The train rumbled along for two days and two nights.

Shen Tang sat on the ground near the exit and only drank a few sips of water.

We arrived in Diancheng on the evening of the third day.

Shen Tang quickly found the hospital based on the address. She strode into the hospital lobby and stopped in front of the nurses' station:

"Excuse me, which ward is Huo Xiuyuan in? I am his family member."

The nurse looked up at her and said, "She was just transferred out of the ICU not long ago and is still under observation. It's the one on the left at the end of the corridor."

Shen Tang walked quickly towards the ward.

In the ward, Huo Xiuyuan lay on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube inserted.

The doctor was examining Huo Xiuyuan when Shen Tang walked over:

"Doctor, how is he?"

"Who are you?" the doctor asked, looking at her.

"I am his fiancée."

"He suffered a severe blow to the head, but he was brought in in time and the surgery is already complete. However, he hasn't woken up yet. Talking to him might help."

Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan—

He lay in the hospital bed, his head wrapped in gauze, his face pale, his lips chapped, and his breathing steady but very light.

She sat down on the stool beside the hospital bed and held his hand in hers.

"Huo Xiuyuan, I'm here! Wake up!"

Huo Xiuyuan lay there, unresponsive.

Shen Tang could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed down her cheeks.

But she dried it off quickly.

Crying won't help; she didn't come all this way just to cry.

"How is Chen Zhongyi?" Shen Tang asked, turning around.

"He's a little better off; he injured his arm and leg and is in the next room."

"Thank you," Shen Tang said.

She poured a bowl of water and used a cotton swab to gently moisten Huo Xiuyuan's lips.

After about ten minutes, she let go, stood up, walked out of the ward, and went to Chen Zhongyi's ward.

Chen Zhongyi had already woken up. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"sorry."

"Huo Xiuyuan took that hit for me." Chen Zhongyi's voice was hoarse.

He frowned as he looked at Shen Tang's face, which was full of guilt.

Shen Tang pursed her lips. "There's nothing to apologize for. Nobody wants things to turn out this way."

"Take good care of yourself. I'll go visit him."

Shen Tang turned and left the ward, and Chen Zhongyi watched her retreating figure.

Tears streamed down her face silently.

He felt guilty! His presence had only brought her bad things.

He shouldn't have shown up at all!

Chen Zhongyi felt a tightness and pain in his chest.

Shen Tang stepped out of the ward and took a few deep breaths.

She didn't want to resent him, but resentment was still there in her heart.

Shen Tang wiped away her tears and returned to Huo Xiuyuan's ward.

She wrung out a hot towel and wiped his hands and face.

Shen Tang held his hand and pressed her face against his palm.

"Huo Xiuyuan, didn't you say you'd come back and marry me?"

"I've waited for you for so many days, why are you asleep? Please wake up!"

"You're not looking for evidence anymore, and you're not going to overturn the case. I can stay with you, and we can be together secretly. I don't care about that piece of paper."

"Wake up, okay? I've made so much money! I'm amazing, don't you want to see?"

Shen Tang talked on and on for a long time before falling asleep by the hospital bed.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already completely dark.

Huo Xiuyuan's coat was draped over her shoulders, and Shen Tang suddenly turned her head.

Huo Xiuyuan remained lying there quietly.

He didn't wake up.

Shen Tang looked at the clothes in confusion. Who put them on her?

Just then, a nurse carried in a folding bed.

Seeing that Shen Tang had woken up, he said, "You're awake? There's a cot for family members to accompany you. Don't sleep face down, your legs must be numb."

"Thank you," Shen Tang said softly.

"My name is Chen Yan, you can just call me Xiao Chen. I'm a nurse assigned by the military, just let me know if you need anything."

She pointed to the lunchbox on the table, "I've prepared dinner for you. I saw you were sleeping, so I didn't wake you."

"Thank you," Shen Tang said, expressing her gratitude once again.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let's eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan, "How does he eat?"

"For now, we'll give them intravenous nutrition and see if they wake up tomorrow."

Xiao Chen comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Many people who had brain surgery last night have woken up."

Shen Tang agreed, washed her hands, and opened the lunchbox.

Inside was rice noodles with minced meat, still warm.

She picked it up and ate a few bites.

Xiao Chen was a very lively young woman, and she sat down next to Shen Tang.

"Are you Commander Huo's fiancée?"

"Mm," Shen Tang replied.

"Then you can try it, stimulate him a bit, it might work." Xiao Chen's face turned a little red.

"Exciting?" Shen Tang turned her head in confusion.

Xiao Chen leaned close to her ear and said, "It's something couples do, to give him a little thrill."
