Lu Lijun left to search for Jiang Yuyan and saw her in the gallery at the end of the corridor. When he reached her, she was already done with her call.
"Is there anything important?" Lu Lijun asked, seeing her silent.
"Nothing much. Was talking to Xiao Min about today's office work as I couldn't go to the office," she informed.
"You seem tired. Let's go home now. There is no need for you to stay here," he suggested.
Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Let me first talk to Grandpa Ming."
"Fine!"
Jiang Yuyan went to meet grandpa Ming who was still in the VIP waiting room and didn't budge from there.
"Grandpa, you should go home. How long will you be here?" Jiang Yuyan said as she sat next to him.
"I won't go until I see him awake," Elder Ming said stubbornly.
Just then Lu Lian and Ming Lan came there.
"Grandpa, he is fine. When he wakes up and gets to know you were like this, it will hurt him. You should take care of yourself to let him see you healthy," Lu Lian said.
"Grandpa, come home with me," Ming Lan insisted.
Elder Ming agreed to it and finally left with Ming Lan.
"I will stay here. I need to talk to the doctor," Ming Lan informed.
After what happened, no one had the guts to tell her to go home. They knew she wouldn't listen.
Jiang Yang and Ming Lan stayed behind while Lu Lijun, Lu Feng, and Jiang Yuyan left.
The driver drove the car while Lu Feng sat in the front passenger seat and Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun sat in the back passenger seat.
Looking at Jiang Yuyan, both could see she was tired and couldn't be at peace until she heard the news of Ming Rusheng being fine though she didn't show it like others by crying. She was definitely scared to see past things getting repeated and once more everyone would suffer the pain of losing someone.
The way back home was long as the hospital was closer to the working site where the accident happened and on the other side of the city. Jiang Yuyan dozed off midway as soon as she was tired. Lu Lijun, whose sight never left his tired woman, shifted towards her and put her head on his shoulder to let her sleep comfortably.
His sight met with Lu Feng's through the rearview mirror and Lu Feng smiled at him teasingly. Lu Lijun gave him a narrowed-eyed look and looked away out of the window. As Jiang Yuyan was sleeping, he preferred to keep silent.
When they reached Lu Mansion, Jiang Yuyan was still in deep sleep.
Lu Feng stepped out of the car as he waited for Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan. Lu Lijun carefully stepped out of the car, not disturbing a sleeping woman. He removed his jacket as it was cold and put it on Jiang Yuyan and lifted Jiang Yuyun in his arms. Lu Feng gave him an obvious look as if it was nothing surprising for him.
The three walked towards the mansion as Lu Feng walked ahead. He was sure all the family members must be still awake as it was not late and his little brother will care less even if they see him carrying her.
As expected everyone was in the living room as it was cold and no one came to the garden after dinner.
Everyone saw Lu Feng entering the living room and then saw Lu Lijun who carried Jiang Yuyan. Lu Feng signaled them to be quiet saying Jiang Yuyan was sleeping. No one talked and Lu Lijun carried Jiang Yuyan straight upstairs.
Being such a good family, they saw Lu Lijun's caring intentions towards Jiang Yuyan and no one felt anything.
Lu Feng joined the family members, "Why are you all still awake?"
"How can we sleep when nothing seems right," elder Lu said and asked, "Any improvement in Rusheng?"
"Still the same but better than before," Lu Feng informed.
"Is Yuyan not feeling well?" Elder Lu asked worriedly.
"She is fine. Must be too tired."
"She has been in the hospital since yesterday and didn't even eat or sleep properly. It was meant to happen. I will go to her and check," Ning Jiahui said as she was about to get up.
"It's nothing much. She just needs good sleep," Lu Feng interrupted.
"Still, I need to check. These days she looks too tired," Ning Jiahui said and got up.
"Don't worry about her, Lu Lijun is there to take care of her," Lu Jinhai added.
"I will rest too. I have a flight next morning." Saying Lu Feng left for his room.
------
Lu Lijun put Jiang Yuyan in bed gently and the sleepy woman didn't even realize it. She was about to wake up but Lu Lijun caressed her head and she fell asleep again holding Lu Lijun's hand in her sleep and Lu Lijun didn't have the heart to pull his hand out seeing her sleeping.
Lu Lijun got into the bed and slept by her side while holding her in his embrace as she faced him. Looking at her, he tucked loose hair strands behind her ears and said in a low voice, "I missed you Yuyan."
He was away for his work and didn't get to see or even talk with her. Only he knew how much he missed her. Holding her closer, he fell asleep as it was finally the moment when he could make up for his sleepless nights when he couldn't sleep being away from her.

In the hospital, Lu Lian went to the Neurology department doctor along with Jiang Yang. Doctor Hao was Jiang Yang's friend so he didn't deny the request to meet Lu Lian.
Sitting on the chair across the doctor's table, Lu Lian waited for him to explain Ming Rusheng's situation.
"Ms. Lu, We have to wait for one more day. Though he had been saved from going into a brain dead condition, he is still not so good. We can only hope for him to wake up in a day or it might take more time."
"It's fine if he takes time as long as he wakes up," she said, being content with the fact that he won't leave her now.
"Even if he wakes up, he will suffer from lots of side effects and difficulties."
"Such as?" she asked.
"Because of the critical surgery and there is still swelling in the brain, we can't expect him to be normal at once. He might have speech problems and won't be able to talk for some time. There might be a memory loss for a certain time period or some he might lose permanently. It might affect his vision and other body activities, his thinking ability, and so on. Anything can happen. This all we can conclude only after he wakes up."
"These things we can fix after going through the treatment and therapies. He will be fine, right?" she asked worriedly.
"Recovery depends on the extent of damage, so I can't guarantee anything at the moment. We need to wait for him to wake up."
"It's fine...as long as he wakes up. We can handle other things. We are there to help him..not a big deal," she said slowly. She was worried for him as she wanted him to be completely alright but she was also fine with him waking up at least.
Jiang Yang patted her shoulder, "Don't worry much."
