Rebirth: Back to before the tragedy

Chapter 453 Please Wake Up

Lanxi Villa 2nd Floor

Chi Morong stood beside the bed, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the quiet face on the bed.

The doctor packed up the medical kit and turned to face Chi Morong.

"Mr. Chi, this lady is in good health. Her vital signs are stable, and her heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are all completely normal. From a medical point of view, she is just... asleep."

"Fell asleep?"

Chi Morong's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed anxiety.

"She's been sleeping like this for two whole days. Is this normal?"

The doctor nodded slightly and explained,

“Generally speaking, long sleep periods are less common, but not impossible.

Some people sleep for long periods of time due to extreme fatigue, excessive mental stress, or when the body needs deep repair.

There is nothing wrong with this lady's body, so there is no need to worry."

Chi Morong's eyes fell on the person on the bed.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly in the sunlight, as if she would wake up at any time, but there was no movement.

"So when can she wake up?"

The doctor shook his head.

"I can't predict this accurately. Everyone's physical condition is different, and the time of awakening will also be different.

However, you can try whispering in her ear to see if that wakes her up.

Sometimes, external stimulation can help her regain consciousness faster.”

Chi Morong nodded and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, the doctor picked up the medical kit, bowed slightly, and left the room.

The room returned to silence again. Chi Morong walked to the bedside and sat down slowly, his eyes never leaving her face.

He reached out and gently held her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and felt a little more at ease.

His big palm gently held the woman's slender hand and placed it on his lips.

"Yuan Ge, when will you wake up?"

He asked quietly, with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety in his voice.

"You are home now, safe, and no one will hurt you again."

He murmured quietly, his voice pleading.

"Please wake up."

In the room, Chi Morong's voice sounded intermittently.

"Yuan Ge..."

His voice was low and hoarse, like a sigh squeezed from deep in his chest.

His eyes fell on Jiang Yuange's pale face. His fingers trembled slightly and hung in the air, wanting to touch her cheek, but he withdrew them at the last moment, as if he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.

"I know……"

He paused, his Adam's apple rolling, as if every word was cutting his throat.

"You don't love me."

A bitter smile spread across his lips but did not reach his eyes.

His eyes fell on her bloodless lips, from which she had uttered countless words that broke his heart.

He laughed at himself, so softly that it was almost inaudible.

"How could I not know? Your repeated escapes and resistances all tell me that you don't love me."

The ward was so quiet that only his voice could be heard.

He knew that she couldn't hear him, and because of this, the words that had been suppressed in his heart finally found an outlet.

"But, I love you..."

His voice was so low that it almost sounded like a breath, as if he was afraid of waking something up.

"I love you so much that even I find it ridiculous."

His fingers gently stroked the back of her cold hand, where the needle mark from the infusion was still visible.

"Our beginning was not a good one. In fact... you were with me because of my coercion."

There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he had finally acknowledged a fact that he had long known but was unwilling to face.

He lowered his head, resting his forehead lightly on the back of her hand, his breathing becoming heavy and rapid.

Those scenes that he had deliberately forgotten suddenly came to his mind - her determination when she mentioned breaking up, and the indifference in her eyes when she looked at him.

"But I can't let go..."

His voice was choked, like a sob squeezed out from deep in his chest.

"I tried, but I couldn't do it."

Chi Morong placed his little hand on his heart.

"Listen, every beat here is because of you."

His eyes fell on her face again, as if he wanted to see the pair of eyes that were familiar yet unfamiliar to him through her closed eyelids.

However, Yuan Ge still lay quietly, his breathing steady and weak, as if he had just fallen into a dreamless sleep.

The moonlight outside the window shone through the gap in the curtains, casting a faint silver light on her face.

"Yuan Ge..."

He called again in a low voice, a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

The doctor has said that there is nothing wrong with her body and she just needs time.

However, time seemed to be a torment for him.

The room was still quiet, with only the sound of his breathing intertwined with Yuange's steady breathing.

He stroked her cheek gently and whispered,

"It's okay. I'll always be here waiting for you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you to wake up."
