Embracing his wife's shoulder, Xiao Hongtao's eyes were deep as he likewise believed that Chenchen would certainly turn calamity into fortune.

Pingping and Anan wept bitterly, ceaselessly calling out 'sister', their cries so heart-wrenching that everyone who heard them shed tears.

"We must never give up until the last moment!" Doctor Luo suddenly shouted, pointing to Yang Cheng'an and the others, "Follow me to the study to discuss the treatment plan!"

"Master, what about the family at home..." Yang Cheng'an asked hesitantly.

The sister was the darling of the family, who would surely be heartbroken if they learned of her mishap. Yet, if he didn't tell them and, God forbid, they didn't get to see her one last time, not only would they blame him, but they would also regret it for the rest of their lives.

After pondering for a moment, Doctor Luo said, "Inform Chengyi and his wife, Chengrong and his wife to bring the children over, and also Chengxuan and his wife, as well as Chengyu, Chenghong, and Chengbin. We can talk about the others in a few days." Chengning was far away in the military camp, and Chengyou was in the government service; it was simply impossible for them to return in time.

Yang Cheng'an nodded.

Lady Luo and Lady Xiao took turns caring for Yang Mengchen, undertaking every task personally. They wiped her face and body every day and stayed by her side to talk to her.

Yang Mengchen, in a coma, could not eat, and had to rely on IV drips for nourishment. From time to time, Lady Luo and Lady Xiao would also feed her some liquid food and water, but very little actually made it into her stomach. Yet everyone at her side persisted tirelessly, without any sign of giving up.

Meanwhile, in the study of the Chen Prince Mansion in The Capital.

Mo Yun burst in with a look of panic, "Prince, Ms. Yang..."

"Seize him and punish with twenty heavy strikes!" Before he could finish, Long Xuanmo, seated behind the desk, issued his stern order.

Mo Lei came in immediately, dragged Mo Yun out, and also sealed his vocal acupoint to prevent him from further enraging the Prince.

Leaning close to Mo Yun's ear, Mo Lei said, "The Prince had long stated that he didn't want to hear any news about Ms. Yang, how could you still knowingly commit the same mistake?"

Unable to speak, Mo Yun desperately blinked at Mo Lei, who failed to understand, leaving Mo Yun with a face flush with urgency.

Back in the study.

Long Xuanmo laid down the military treatise, his already cold and captivating features seemed even colder and leaner, his gaze mystifyingly deep, his whole being exuded an icy chill that kept strangers out.

After a long while, he pulled out a scroll from the right-hand drawer and slowly unfolded it. The woman in the painting had bright eyes and white teeth, her smile was as beautiful as blooming flowers, behind her was the splendid panorama of sunrise. Long Xuanmo gently caressed the woman's jade-like face in the painting, his eyes brimming with profound tenderness and longing.

On the other hand, when Yang Mengchen fell into darkness, she felt herself leaving her body, involuntarily floating, and, in a dazed wonder, she found herself in the cemetery of her home county, where many people had gathered in front of a tombstone, clearly there to attend a funeral.

The woman in the photograph had clear eyebrows, delicate features, and a gentle smile, unmistakably her past self.

Fang Chenxu and Hang Qingming stood on either side of the tombstone, their black attire making them appear refined and poised, yet their expressions were mournful and pained.

When everyone left and only Fang Chenxu and Hang Qingming remained by the tombstone, Fang Chenxu suddenly landed a heavy punch on Hang Qingming.

Taken completely by surprise, Hang Qingming fell to the ground, his left cheek quickly swelling and a trickle of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, indicating the severity of Fang Chenxu's punch.

"Brother Fang!"

Yang Mengchen hurried over, attempting to stop Fang Chenxu but found herself passing right through his body. In shock and disbelief, Hang Qingming suddenly stood up and returned the punch with equal force, and Fang Chenxu's right eye immediately darkened with a bruise.

"I've been tolerating you for a long time!" Hang Qingming growled through clenched teeth.

Ah Meng had married him, yet Fang Chenxu persisted in his pursuit, even going so far as to remain unmarried, causing Ah Meng worry. She tried to find him a match in hopes of getting him to move on.
