Chapter 139: Awakening (2/2)

The movement was too small, even Old Xu wasn’t sure.

After thinking for a moment, Old Xu turned to Wen Yuanyuan and said, “Girl, call your mother.”

“Ah…” Wen Yuanyuan, her face showing a trace of panic, was stunned when she heard this.

“Don’t just stand there, hurry and call her.” Old Xu immediately urged.

Seeing the hopeful light in Old Xu’s weathered eyes, Wen Yuanyuan felt a flicker of hope rise in her heart. Coming back to her senses, she nodded, her eyes red, and crouched by the bedside. She reached out to hold her mother’s right hand, softly calling, “Mother!”

As soon as Wen Yuanyuan’s voice fell, her mother’s eyelids twitched slightly, as if a switch had been turned on.

This time, the movement was noticeable, and everyone present saw it clearly!

Seeing that her mother finally reacted, Wen Yuanyuan instinctively tightened her grip on her mother’s left hand, as if it was her only hope. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, “Mother, it’s me, Yuanyuan! Mother, wake up…”

Tears fell from Wen Yuanyuan’s chin, one by one, landing on her mother’s frail left arm.

Finally, her mother’s eyelids slowly lifted, revealing a barely visible slit. Her cracked lips trembled slightly, as if trying to say something.

Wen Yuanyuan stood there in a daze for a long time, watching her mother’s lips quiver. Even though no sound came out, Wen Yuanyuan was certain her mother was saying “Yuanyuan.”

At that moment, it was as if Wen Yuanyuan had fallen into a dream. Her emotions of hope, joy, fear, and disbelief intertwined, because she had dreamed of her mother waking up countless times before.

After repeatedly confirming it wasn’t a dream, Wen Yuanyuan’s tears fell again, large drops sliding down her cheeks. Years of pent-up emotions erupted all at once. All her defenses and pretense shattered, and she pressed her mother’s hand tightly to her forehead, repeatedly sobbing, “Mother, mother… sob…”

The two young doctors present turned away, wiping their eyes and trembling slightly with emotion.

Director Mu looked at Shen Cheng with a face full of astonishment.

This patient had been in a coma state for over ten years! How long had it been since the medicine was injected? Not even a minute had passed, and it was already working!

For a moment, Director Mu held the Bio-Scientific Institute in almost divine reverence.

Shen Cheng, watching Wen Yuanyuan’s mother slowly regain vitality, finally relaxed and shook his head with a smile before turning to leave the ward.

Without hesitation, Director Mu hurried after him. Seeing this, Old Xu thought for a moment and followed suit.

“Investigator Shen!” Shen Cheng had barely taken a few steps out of the ward when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder from behind.

Turning around, he saw Director Mu staring at him with shining eyes, and asked, “How long until this medicine is ready for widespread use?”

Hearing this, Shen Cheng was silent for a moment. Then he slowly turned his head, gazing at the night sky outside the corridor window, a faint smile forming on his lips.

“Soon, don’t worry!”
