Chapter 2041: You’re finally home

Shen Longyue felt a dull, throbbing pain in his heart.

He had harbored high expectations of his son since he was young.

Shen Luo’an had displayed outstanding potential. He excelled at everything he pursued.

Yet, he never understood the way his son handled his relationships with others.

Back then, when Guan Kai committed suicide because of him, he never even shed a tear.

But now… he was bawling his heart out when Shen Manting was crippled in an accident…

Shen Longyue suddenly felt a tinge of resentment toward Shen Manting. He resented her for acting recklessly and for getting herself injured this badly.

Shen Longyue couldn’t bear to watch his son like this. He closed his eyes and muttered, “Go home for now… Your son is still waiting for you.”

At the mention of his son, Shen Luo’an murmured faintly, “Yes, my son is still waiting for me…”

He tried to stand up and grabbed onto Shen Longyue’s hand for support.

However, he felt a sudden, stabbing pain in his head. He slipped and toppled over, landing in a heap on the floor.

Shen Longyue was shocked. He shouted, “Luo’an!”

He took a closer look at Shen Luo’an. His son had already passed out.

–

Shen Luo’an was unconscious from the night he collapsed through the whole of the following day.

The entire Shen family was thrown into an anxious flurry.

Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian had just solemnized their marriage in Yun Town when they heard the terrible news.

The couple hurried back to the family home in the capital. They heard the infant crying upon entering the house.

Mrs. Shen looked drained. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law arriving home, the floodgates opened and she finally broke down sobbing. “You’re finally home!” she exclaimed.

Ye Qianqian couldn’t help tearing up. She rushed over to Mrs. Shen and cried, “Mother!”

Shen Zhilie observed them with pursed lips and didn’t say a word. He reached out to take the infant.

The infant had been crying for a long time. His voice had become hoarse, and his cheeks had turned pink.

“The milk’s coming. Here it is.” Mother He was walking quickly toward the infant with a milk bottle in her hand. When she saw Shen Zhilie, she handed the bottle to him. “Feed the baby first.”

Mrs. Shen was sitting on the sofa, wailing uncontrollably as she held Ye Qianqian close to her.

Ye Qianqian was heartbroken to see her like this.

She patted Mrs. Shen gently on the back and muttered softly, “Don’t cry, Mother. Don’t cry…”

However, as she tried to comfort Mrs. Shen, she couldn’t hold back her own tears and was soon crying along.

Shen Zhilie quietly carried the infant back to the room, feeling depressed.

He phoned Shen Longyue, who picked up the call within moments.

He sounded fatigued.

“Zhilie.”

“Father,” Shen Zhilie began in a serious tone, “has Brother woken up yet?”

“Not yet.”

“How about Sister Manting?”

Shen Longyue didn’t answer, but sighed instead. “Take care of your mother and the baby. I’ll inform you when Manting wakes up.”

“I’ll leave the baby with Qianqian and head to the hospital later.”

“All right.” Shen Longyue was too tired to argue.

He was not only physically exhausted but also mentally drained.

He was overcome by an unusually intense feeling of fatigue.

Shen Zhilie fed the infant and coaxed him to sleep. Then, he settled the infant in Shen Luo’an’s room and left a message for Ye Qianqian before driving to the hospital.

Shen Luo’an woke up the moment he stepped into the ward.

The first sentence he uttered when he opened his eyes was, “How is Manting?”

Shen Zhilie greeted Shen Luo’an and Shen Longyue upon entering and responded, “Sister Manting is doing fine. She has made it past the critical period and is now under observation.”

Upon hearing the news, Shen Luo’an immediately lifted his blanket and stumbled out of bed. “I’m going to see her.”

But he staggered and almost fell over when he tried to walk.

Shen Zhilie caught him and cautioned, “Be careful!”

Shen Luo’an was struck by a dizzy spell. He rested for a while and managed to regain his balance.

“You have to eat something first, Luo’an.” Shen Longyue looked at him. “You’ve been in a coma for 28 hours. It’s no wonder you don’t have the strength to stand up properly.”
