Chapter 2195: Lu Meng (7)
During these seven hours, she spent four hours crying, two hours staring blankly, and finally managed to get a little nap for an hour.
Now, after being coaxed to sleep by Ruan Jie, she actually fell asleep.
But her sleep was not very restful; her dreams were bizarre and chaotic, with a bit of everything. At one moment, she dreamt of their childhood, with Lu Xian stepping down from a motorcycle, handing her a bag full of chocolates. Then she dreamt of the day he went abroad, hiding behind a pillar secretly watching him. She even dreamt of those long-lost dark, hollow eyes that used to haunt her, chasing after her in a dim environment, demanding she return what she owed.
Ruan Jiaojiao tried her best to run, but she couldn’t move at all. In the end, when those dark, hollow eyes caught up to her, she woke up, scared, sweating profusely, eyes wide open.
"Alright, alright, you’re awake, finally awake."
"So frightening, how could you sleep so much."
"..."
The chatter was so noisy that Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but frown.
Ruanlin Family immediately scolded the crowd around the bed: "What are you making so much noise for? Shut up! Move aside, move aside!"
Upon hearing this, the group of young men, just like when they were kids, obediently shut their mouths.
Only Ruanlin Family approached Ruan Jiaojiao, gently: "Oh, my little darling, look at grandma, you scared me to death. Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable? Quickly tell grandma."
Ruan Jiaojiao knitted her brows tightly, only feeling her mind was muddled, with a faint pain at the temples, unclear about the situation: "Grandma, what happened to me?"
"You’re asking me? You scared us to death, you’ve been in a coma for three days!" Ruan Lei shouted from the side: "If you didn’t wake up, we were all planning to commit mass suicide to go to King Yaman Hall and get you back!"
"Nonsense! What are you blabbering about!" Du Qing poked his forehead from the side, glaring at him with annoyed eyes.
Beside them, Ruanlin Family’s eyes reddened a bit, pulling her into her embrace: "As long as you’re okay, as long as you’re okay."
Ruan Jiaojiao was even more confused, scanning the people around her bed, but she didn’t see Shu Jiao, Ruan Jianguo, Duan Xi, or Ruan Hao.
"Second Brother, Big Brother, Dad, and Brother Xu, where did they go?" She asked, holding Ruan Jie’s hand.
"They went out, don’t worry, Second Brother has called them, they’ll be back soon. You’ve been in a coma for three days, with a persistent high fever that wouldn’t go down, no matter what injections or medicine were used. They heard there’s a living fairy in the town with great skills, so they went to try it out.
In a coma for three days?
Ruan Jiaojiao raised her head, scanning the people surrounding her bed, feeling a bit out of it.
Didn’t she just take a nap? How was she in a coma for three days?
Ruan Jiaojiao held her forehead, still feeling a throbbing pain at her temples, burying her head in Ruanlin Family’s embrace: "Grandma, I feel terrible, my head hurts so much."
Moreover, she always felt like she had lost something, and just the thought made her brain buzz with pain.
"Grandma will rub it for you, rub it and it won’t hurt. You all hurry out, don’t block the way." Ruanlin Family climbed behind Ruan Jiaojiao, placing her head on her lap, massaging her head.
With the massage on her scalp, Ruan Jiaojiao gradually felt much better.
She looked up at the ceiling and said to Ruanlin Family: "Grandma, why do I feel like I forgot something?"
"Don’t overthink it, maybe it’s just the fever lasted a long time, once you recover in a while, you’ll be fine," Ruanlin Family said.
