Chapter 398 - 398: Three-Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Regained Sentience
‘ There’s no turning back for me now that I’ve come this far,’ Lin Yu silently told herself, and her heart hardened and turned cold at the thought that Xi Cheng was probably together with Gu Man right at this moment.
Staring at the insensate and unaware Xiang Yang before him, Shi Ke rubbed his face hard. The grief he felt in his heart strained him both physically and mentally. His phone vibrated, and he picked up the call. It was Shi Nian. Shi Ke listened to Shi Nian report his findings and muttered, “Lan Long and Lin
“Ah!” Xiang Yang let out a sharp cry all of a sudden and curled her body into a ball, trying hard to bury herself in her pillow.
Shi Ke threw his phone aside and rushed over to put his arms around Xiang
Yang. “Xiang Yang! Xiang Yang!” It was the first time in a long time that Xiang Yang had reacted. Shi Ke was shocked, overjoyed, and at a loss. He tried his best to comfort Xiang Yang—struggling and going berserk in his arms—while using his shoulder to hit the emergency call button.
Seeing that Xiang Yang had finally fallen asleep, Shi Ke let out a sigh of relief. Xiang Yang had great strength in her berserk mode. She didn’t recognize Shi
Ke, and her consciousness seemed to be in a state of extreme fear and hatred. She’d wildly kicked and bit Shi Ke, and despite his build and training, Shi Ke had to use all his strength to restrain her. There were several clear teeth marks on his arms thanks to Xiang Yang, and some of them were bleeding freely.
A nurse came over to clean Shi Ke’s wounds and give him a tetanus shot. Yun Nan and Shi Nian looked on, shocked at the scene. Yun Nan looked at the deeply sleeping Xiang Yang and whispered, “What happened?”
Shi Ke watched the nurse clean his wounds with not a single furrow on his brow and answered delightedly, “She woke up—her consciousness, I mean. She regained her sentience. It’s a good sign.”
Shi Nian picked up Shi Ke’s phone on the ground. He and Yun Nan had immediately rushed to the hospital after hearing Xiang Yang’s scream through the phone. He handed the phone to Shi Ke and asked, “Why did Xiang Yang suddenly wake up? What agitated her from her deadened state? Shi Ke, think back carefully. ”
Shi Ke shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t remember. I, I was—” His brain started working again, and he looked at Shi Nian and abruptly stopped talking.
“I’ll take care of the rest. Thank you,” Yun Nan said as she took the iodophor from the nurse. After sending the nurse out, Yun Nan continued disinfecting Shi Kel s wound.
Now that they were alone, Shi Ke stared at Shi Nian as he stated, “I picked up your call and only said five words: Lan Long and Lin Yu!” Shi Kels gaze subconsciously turned to the sleeping Xiang Yang, who suddenly frowned in her sleep.
The three of them fell silent. “Is it Lan Long or Lin Yu?” Yun Nan asked very quietly. The two brothers didn’t say anything.
Yun Nan tugged Shi Nian’s arm and quietly retreated towards the door. “Leave it to us, Big Brother. You take care of Xiang Yang.” Shi Ke nodded and flipped his phone between his fingers. He had his own channels and ways to deal with things.
Shi Nian sent a message to Chang Yuan and Chen Nian as soon as he left Xiang
Yang’s room. telling them to gather lin- The truth behind this matter was now
all too apparent.
Thinking Lin Yu might be involved, Yun Nan said, “I’ll go and visit Madam Xi.”
Shi Nian nodded. “Be careful.”
Yun Nan stopped when she passed by the Lan family’s ward and heard a voice inside very patiently say, “Grandpa, you have to behave. Only then will
Yangyang come to see you!”
‘It’s Lan Long,’ Yun Nan realized.
“Didn’t you say that Yangyang would be here soon?” An old, croaky voice spoke, sounding very dissatisfied.
“Yeah, Yangyang’s already on the way. Calm down, Grandpa. She’ll be here,” Lan Long replied patiently.
“You’re a liar! You always lie to me!” The old, crotchety voice now sounded very angry.
*Bang!* The door opened unexpectedly, and Yun Nan took two steps back. “Yangyang! You’re here!” A twig-like hand grabbed Yun Nan’s, and a delighted smile appeared on the wrinkled and thin face of the hand’s owner.
Yun Nan was startled. Lan Long came forward to support the old man and exclaimed in surprise, “Yun Nan?” He told the old man, “Grandpa, you’ve got the wrong person. She isn’t Yangyang; she’s my friend. Hurry up and let go, or you might scare her.” Lan Long tried to persuade the old man to release Yun Nan’s hand patiently.
He turned to apologize to Yun Nan. “I’m sorry. My grandfather has cerebellar atrophy, so his memory’s a little messed up.”
Yun Nan composed herself and told him it was alright. However, the old man gripped Yun Nan’s wrist and refused to let go, shouting at Lan Long, “You’re lying. She’s Yangyang! Yangyang, why did it take you so long to visit Grandpa? Did this rascal bully you? Grandpa will beat him up for you! Don’t go! Stay and eat! Grandpa will buy you something delicious!”
Lan Long gave Yun Nan an awkward and helpless look. Yun Nan suddenly reached out and patted the old man’s shoulder. “Grandpa, I’m not leaving. I’m not going anywhere. Let’s head inside..”
