Chapter 107: I Want to Go Home

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Several days had passed and Xiao Rou still hadn’t woken up, but He Wanning insisted on waiting another week for Xiao Rou. Xiao Yao could get out of bed now and thus kept guard by Tang Xi’s sickbed almost every day. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing stayed in the hospital for several days before they went back to work as urged by the calls of their colleagues.

Yang Jingxian would come daily to deliver Xiao Yao a nutritious meal and then wipe down Xiao Rou’s body. After Lin Ru came to know that her daughter had fallen down a flight of stairs and was hospitalized, she rushed to the hospital in tears and continued to stay there, ignoring her work.

Xiao Hongyi couldn’t change his wife’s mind and could only ask Xiao Yan to keep an eye on their entertainment company. Xiao Yan was totally fine with this because he was a workaholic. He didn’t like doing anything but work, and he felt that rest and recreation were nothing but a waste of life.

But he also took the time to visit his sister at the hospital, though only once.

Because he thought since he was not a doctor, Xiao Rou wouldn’t wake up even if he were to stay in the hospital every day, he might as well go back to work. However, if he could awaken Xiao Rou by guarding her in the hospital, he would have loved to do so.

During this period of time, Lin Ru and Yang Jingxian got on well with each other. While Lin Ru thought that they hadn’t taken care of Xiao Rou well enough, which was why she had ended up falling down the stairs, she knew that she was in no position to complain and thus didn’t say anything about it. She merely attended to Xiao Rou together with Yang Jingxian every day.

After wiping down Xiao Rou’s body, Yang Jingxian took the wash water to the bathroom, poured it away and then sat down on the nearby sofa. Looking at Lin Ru, who was sitting beside Xiao Rou’s sickbed and holding her daughter’s hand, she asked softly, “Ah Ru, is it really okay for you not to go to work?”

She could not understand why Lin Ru, who had always taken work as her life, would suddenly stop going to work and come here every day to guard her daughter, whom she once loathed so much.

Lin Ru looked at Xiao Rou lying on the sickbed and smiled self-deprecatingly, saying, “For so many years, I thought that only my work could satisfy me, but now I find that my persistence was wrong. What did I work so hard for? For a better life? But my life is already good enough. For my children to live a good life? But I turned a blind eye to my own daughter. By the time I figured out everything and wanted to make up for it, my daughter was lying on the sickbed dying. Now I don’t know the point of working so hard and making all this money!”

Her husband was a rich man and her son could earn money by himself; they didn’t need her money. She used to invest all her money and energy on her ‘daughter’, though… Now she had finally decided to make it up to her biological daughter, but she didn’t give her the chance.

Yang Jingxian pursed her lips and sighed. “Since Rourou could wake up from such a severe trauma at that time, she will also be able to wake up this time. Those experts have said that Rourou may be too tired to wake up. Maybe she will be fine when she is rested up.”

Yes, the experts from the capital had examined Xiao Rou and concluded she was sleeping.

Sleeping? Who would sleep for a week? And they had said she may not wake up forever. Wasn’t that like brain death?! However, those experts also said that it was different from brain death because a brain-dead patient was a vegetable that had almost no chance to wake up, unless a miracle occurred. Xiao Rou, on the other hand, could wake up at any time, but they couldn’t tell exactly when.

Lin Ru looked deeply at the girl lying on the bed, saying softly, “Jingxian, can you promise me something?”

Yang Jingxian frowned and replied, “What is it?”

“Can you let Rourou take turns living in both of our homes when she wakes up?” Lin Ru knew that she was asking for too much, but she really wanted to live with her daughter. Seeing Yang Jingxian frown, she hurriedly said, “I know I’m asking for too much, but I really didn’t know Yao Jinning lied to me. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have treated Rourou like that. I swear I’ll make it up to Rourou. If anyone dares hurt Rourou, I’ll never let them off! Can you agree?”

Yang Jingxian pursed her lips in response, but it was at that moment that Xiao Yao entered through the ward’s door and said flatly, “We’ll talk about this when Rourou wakes up. We’ll ask Rourou for her opinion. If she agrees, we won’t stop her.”

Tang Xi spent many a day in Long Beach, almost accompanying Qiao Liang daily. She watched the people sent out to search for her by Qiao Liang come back without success, watched Qiao Liang throw a tantrum, watched Qiao Liang’s hallucinations grow increasingly severe, watched Qiao Liang’s insomnia become worse and worse, and watched him talking to her all night long, holding the ice box containing her finger.

The more she watched, the more sorrow she felt for him, and the more she wanted to slap herself.

How could you, Tang Xi? How could you torture Qiao Liang like this?

With this thought in mind, Tang Xi tried desperately to return to her body; however, no matter what method she used, she couldn’t leave Long Beach and neither could she go back to City A nor the capital. She could only watch Qiao Liang torture himself, unable to do anything to stop him.

Just when Tang Xi was on the verge of being drowned in helplessness and guilt, Little Six suddenly ran upstairs holding his laptop and said to Qiao Liang sitting on the ground, “Boss, I finally tracked it. That IP address is false. It’s just a virtual one and the real one is in China, which has nothing to do with Long Beach, but I can’t find its exact location. The other party is so good at the computer that I can’t find his exact location.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips. If she had known this, she wouldn’t have used 008’s hacking skill. She didn’t expect even a professional hacker couldn’t track her.

Now she really hoped that they could quickly find out that she was in China, or even find her, and then Qiao Liang wouldn’t have to live in pain every day. Her heart ached so much when she saw Qiao Liang continue being like this.

Tang Xi looked sadly at Qiao Liang, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, with great grief in her heart. She knew he had fallen into his hallucinations again.

Little Six called out to Qiao Liang, but he didn’t respond, so Little Six shouted, “Miss Tang.”

Hearing this, Qiao Liang finally reacted. He looked back at Little Six and the latter quickly repeated what he just said. Qiao Liang frowned, “From China? Is it in the capital?”

Little Six shook his head. “I’m not sure. What I’m sure of is that it’s really in China. It’s a virtual IP used to conceal the real location.”

Qiao Liang suddenly jumped up from the ground and said seriously, “Prepare for a flight home! Now!”

Little Six dared not slack off; he hurriedly nodded and went downstairs to ask Little Five and the others to come back and prepare a return flight to China.

Seeing that, Tang Xi was very anxious. If they returned to China, what would happen if she couldn’t go back? Thinking of this, Tang Xi yelled out in anxiety, “008, I want to go home!”
