If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The man looked at his son deeply, forced himself to calm down and carefully think through what he was going to say, then continued, "I drank a little too much that day because of a social event. When I was going down the stairs, I slipped. Li Li—that girl happened to be walking next to me and helped me up. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that your mother was also eating at that restaurant that day."

"It was at that time that Li Li first saw your mother, and that led to what happened next." The man's voice choked up as he spoke.

The boy glanced at him and said, "Don't you know that Li Li has feelings for you?"

"To be honest, I know this, but I always thought it was just a little girl's temporary infatuation, and I did refuse. And I have arranged for Special Assistant Tan to find a new secretary. Who knows..." The man looked at his son's face that looked like his own, "Who knew she would suddenly kiss my face, and your mother happened to see it."

"You don't know how much I regret. I regret not getting rid of that Li Li earlier. I regret why I drank so much that day. I regret why I didn't get away at that time?..." The man burst into tears as he spoke. These words were the first time he had spoken out loud in five years. It was as if the emotions that had been stuck in his chest for five years finally had an outlet to vent, and he could get them out without any worries.

The boy looked at the man squatting and crying not far in front of him, and his heart was moved. In fact, he already knew what the man said, and he had hired more than a group of people to investigate the incident that had shaken his family five years ago. It was indeed as the man said, that was a young girl's infatuation with a successful man, or a unilateral risky behavior made by a young girl who wanted to take a shortcut.

Afterwards, the man immediately drove Li Li away, and since then, no female creature has appeared around him. The boy also knew that the man had been silently paying attention to the lives of the three of them for five years, and he saw the man's car parked downstairs of his house many times. But as a child, he should not interfere in his parents' relationship.

He and his sister had always done this. If his mother really let go as she said, he would be happy to continue to pretend to be confused and let the man reflect on himself. But his mother's sudden coma made him realize that his mother had not really let go. In the past five years, his mother had been forcing herself to smile and numb herself with busy work. She even knew that the man's car was often parked downstairs of their house.

That's why he wanted to give this man a chance, just for his mother. He looked at the right half of the man's face again, "You should save these for your mother to explain, if she is willing to forgive you. But I remind you, she is a person who can't tolerate any sand in her face, so you should think carefully about how to explain it to her."

After saying that, the boy turned around the corner and bumped into his sister who was out looking for him.

The girl looked at the man squatting on the ground in the corner, who was initially bashful and then ecstatic because of the boy's words. She pouted and complained to her brother, "Why are you helping him?"

"Am I helping him? Obviously I am helping my mother. If I can take this opportunity to help my mother resolve her worries, I am willing to help him." The boy sighed and said to his younger sister with a hint of melancholy, "He actually didn't make any substantial mistakes. Since both parties still have feelings for each other, they should just torture each other. You know he hasn't had an easy life these years."

"What do you mean he really didn't make any substantial mistakes? It just means he didn't have time to do it, okay?"

"Haha, you?!"

The woman slept for three days, and the man took care of her without taking off his clothes for three days. Except for the necessary trip to the toilet, he never let the woman out of his sight, and often held her hand and talked about the good times they had experienced, his regrets, and imagined their bright future.

The monitoring device beside the bed showed that the woman's brain waves were becoming more and more active. Meixiang knew that the woman had heard what the man said and would wake up soon.

During these three days, the boy and the girl completely left their space to the man and the woman. Every day, they just looked inside through the small window on the ward door, but did not push the door and walk in. They hoped that their mother could truly untie the knot in her heart and regain happiness and joy.

Meixiang also stayed here for three days, and saw with her own eyes how the man carefully and attentively took care of the woman. Except for occasionally using electronic products to handle necessary official business, the rest of the time was spent talking to the woman in a soft voice, showing unprecedented patience.

Even the girl who had been opposed to his decision could not help but be moved by his performance. After her brother's persuasion and looking at her mother lying on the hospital bed, she decided to give him and her mother another chance. After all, she and her brother were full of nostalgia for the warm home they had five years ago.

On the morning of the fourth day, the doctor came to check on the ward as usual.

"Doctor, when will the patient wake up?"

The attending doctor flipped through the medical record in his hand, looked at the various indicators recorded on it, and said with a smile: "All indicators are good. EEG monitoring shows that brain activity has been very active recently." He glanced at the slightly moving eyeballs under the closed eyelids on the bed, and then said: "It seems that your recent efforts have not been in vain. The patient should wake up soon. But you also have to pay more attention to your health. Don't wait for Director Liu to wake up before you fall down again."

"No, no, thank you, doctor." The man waved his hands repeatedly. It was so hard to get such an opportunity in the past five years, and now his son and daughter wanted to give him one? He was so happy about the opportunity for the two of them to be alone that he couldn't fall down.

? ?

The man wiped her hands and face with a warm towel and said softly, "Xiang'er, did you hear what the doctor said? You've been sleeping for four days. You've had enough rest, right? Wake up soon. I still have a lot to say to you."

"As long as you wake up, you can hit me, scold me, but I just ask you to stop torturing yourself, okay? The plum blossoms on the mountain outside the city are about to bloom. Haven't you always wanted to go and see them? I'll go with you when you're better, okay? I was sorry for you and neglected your feelings in the past, but I won't do that again in the future." The man chattered as he carefully wiped her face and hands.

"I won't hit you or scold you. Just leave here now and never appear in front of me again." A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the hospital bed.

"Ah, you're awake? You finally woke up." The man exclaimed in surprise.
