The room was very quiet. Wei Yuxian lay on the bed with no signs of waking up, and Fu Xuanyi sat in a chair by the bedside watching over her, his eyes fixed on her, unwilling to move away even a little.
He knew she would be very sad after learning the news, but he never expected that she would faint.
No one knew how much time had passed when the bedroom door opened, and Mr. and Mrs. Fu, along with Lin Chengyuan, entered. They didn’t say a word, even their footsteps were light.
Mrs. Fu had finished speaking with Lin Chengyuan, who was still feeling very angry, his expression looking like it could explode at any moment.
Mr. and Mrs. Fu also sat quietly by the bedside, watching over the person on the bed.
Lin Chengyuan approached Fu Xuanyi, lightly patted his shoulder, and gave him a look, signaling him to step outside to talk.
But Fu Xuanyi, as he was now, had no intention of paying attention to him. His heart and mind were fully occupied with the person on the bed, and he didn’t want to leave her side for even a moment.
Thus, Lin Chengyuan’s plan naturally fell through.
Seeing that Fu Xuanyi remained motionless by the bedside, not even sparing him a glance, Lin Chengyuan had no choice but to leave on his own to contact Lu Chengxiao.
As Fu Xuanyi’s childhood friend, he naturally had contact with Lu Chengxiao, and in fact, their relationship was quite good.
Fine, since Young Master Xuanyi refused to come out with him, he would discuss it with Lu Chengxiao himself, ensuring that the vile woman wouldn’t get off easy!
How dare she do such a thing to his sister-in-law; she deserved to die!
If it weren’t for her, his sister-in-law wouldn’t have suffered for so many years!
Now, she didn’t even have a single family member left!
In any case, Lin Chengyuan wouldn’t let that wretched woman off the hook.
After Lin Chengyuan left, the room once again fell silent. Once more, no one knew how much time had passed when the person who had been unconscious in bed began to stir.
She seemed to be having a nightmare, crying in her sleep, her entire body restless, her brows furrowed tightly.
Fu Xuanyi, seeing her movements, quickly placed his large hand on her cheek, trying to comfort her.
But his comfort didn’t seem to help much. Wei Yuxian’s dream was just too terrifying.
Her cries grew louder, and her tears flowed more freely. She wanted to wake up but was trapped in the nightmare, unable to wake, forced to continue enduring the pain in her dream!
Fu Xuanyi was extremely worried, his heart racing. Without regard for his parents’ presence, he got into bed and embraced the crying person in his arms, gently patting her back, offering her a sense of security.
Gradually, Wei Yuxian stopped crying, her movements subsided, and she stopped struggling, though her brows remained tightly knit, her expression still troubled.
Fu Xuanyi placed his large hand on her forehead, gently massaging it, smoothing out the creases between her brows.
Wei Yuxian’s remained unconscious for several hours, and she only woke up as it was nearing lunchtime, with Fu Xuanyi and Mr. and Mrs. Fu having watched over her for so long.
She slowly opened her eyes, still carrying a deep sense of sorrow. At this moment, she was somewhat confused.
She felt like she had been dreaming, a very unpleasant dream, where Fu Xuanyi told her that her biological parents were no longer alive.
Then, she had many, many more dreams, each one unpleasant!
She was easily influenced by her dreams, and her mood at the moment was even worse.
For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish between her dreams and reality, because those dreams were so vivid, so real that she thought they were true!
Fully opening her eyes, she realized she was in a warm place. Upon looking, she found herself in Fu Xuanyi’s embrace, which explained the warmth.
For some reason, she had been feeling less and less afraid of Fu Xuanyi recently, perhaps because the man’s attitude towards her had softened considerably.
The warm embrace made her reluctant to leave. Remaining in his arms, she spoke in a somewhat dazed and subdued tone: “I dreamed that… my parents are no longer in this world.”
Deep down, she was unwilling to accept the news of her biological parents’ passing and instead treated it as a dream, a protective mechanism of the mind.
Fu Xuanyi felt pity but had to say, “This isn’t a dream.”
Those four words awakened the true memories deep within Wei Yuxian’s mind. She was dazed for a moment, then remembered everything, and tears fell once again.
She wanted to deceive herself, but she also knew that she would have to face this reality sooner or later.
This was the truth, and there was no escaping it!
Tears fell like a kite with a broken string, large drops cascading down, as grief struck suddenly, like a fierce storm.
She cried until her body trembled, her thoughts muddled, unable to think, her hands instinctively gripping tightly onto the man in front of her, as if holding onto the only lifeline.
Fu Xuanyi continued to comfort her but remained silent. He didn’t know what words to say to comfort her effectively.
Mr. and Mrs. Fu also watched them with worried expressions, or rather, they watched Wei Yuxian with concern.
After crying for a while, Wei Yuxian’s tears showed no signs of stopping, her voice growing hoarse from the crying.
Fortunately, this time, she was a bit stronger and didn’t faint again.
She cried for about ten minutes, and her eyes began to ache from the crying. Her tears were gently wiped away by the man in front of her, time and again.
Her rationality returned somewhat, but her eyes were lifeless, as if her soul had been taken away.
Her parents were gone…
They were no longer in this world, leaving her all alone.
She hadn’t even seen her parents with her own eyes!
Her current state was somewhat terrifying, her eyes devoid of any desire to live, like a living corpse.
Fu Xuanyi was alarmed by her condition and held her tighter, his voice slightly hoarse: “Darling, you still have me, and the baby.”
Hearing the word “baby,” Wei Yuxian felt a glimmer of hope for life. Her gaze slowly focused, and she looked down at her swollen belly.
Yes, she still had two babies, and they were her family, her kin with the same bloodline!
Their arrival was predestined, a gift from heaven to make up for her loss.
With these thoughts, the vitality in Wei Yuxian’s eyes grew, and she completely calmed down.
The loss of her parents was a heavy blow to her, but it couldn’t completely defeat her because she had found some hope.
She didn’t want her two children to grow up without parents either!
She wanted them to come into this world and experience the best kind of love!
She was still sad, and Wei Yuxian couldn’t control her grief. Although she knew she shouldn’t be this sad, it was bad for her health and for the baby in her belly.
But now, she couldn’t control herself. The thought of her parents being gone made her want to cry.
Seeing that she had pulled through but was still deeply sad, Mrs. Fu approached and sat down by the bed, saying, “Yuxian, from now on, I will be your mother. You can think of me as your mother.”
