His trembling fingers gently slid across her tears, afraid that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"What's wrong, Young Master Di?"
Jack and Yi Xuan were chatting outside when they were shocked by Di Junlin's sudden voice.
He felt that if he stayed with Di Junlin for too long, he would get a heart attack sooner or later.
Di Junlin excitedly looked at the tears on his fingers and shakily held them in front of Jack. "Look, she's crying. She's crying, so she won't become a vegetable, right?" He looked at Jack and asked with anticipation in his eyes.
"Keqin is crying?"
Yi Xuan, Bai Lan, and Lan Keqin—who had just woken up—asked the same question at the same time.
Father Lan and Mother Lan quickly got off the bed and walked towards Lan Keqin.
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes just now."
Di Junlin's voice was still very excited. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Keqin. At this moment, because of everyone's concern for her, she once again shed a hot tear.
"Look, she's still crying," he said.
"She's really, really crying."
After seeing this, both Father and Mother Lan were extremely excited. Did this mean that their daughter might wake up?
"Jack! Quickly help her take a look."
Di Junlin grabbed Jack's arm and asked him to examine Lan Keqin.
"There's no need. Chen Hao and I have already examined her very clearly. There's blood in her head and it has crushed her nerve tissue as well as the nerves in her eyes. So... even if she wakes up, she will still be blind."
Jack saw everyone's disappointed and worried eyes. He did not have the heart to say so much but these were all Lan Keqin's symptoms.
"In her condition, she should have become a conscious vegetable. In other words, she can hear everything we say here but she just can't wake up."
Jack looked at Lan Keqin with great pity. Not only had she become a vegetable but she had also become a conscious vegetable. How much grief did he feel in his heart?
If a conscious vegetable could never wake up, this was undoubtedly the cruelest thing.
"What? A conscious vegetable?"
Mother Lan was devastated. Looking at Lan Keqin on the hospital bed, her tears rolled down her cheeks. How did their obedient daughter become like this?
"Little Keqin!"
Yi Xuan and Bai Lan looked at Lan Keqin with pity in their eyes. They never thought that the cute and innocent girl would become a conscious vegetable.
"Are you saying that Qin'er has become a conscious vegetable?"
Di Junlin was not sad like the others when he heard the news. Instead, he asked Jack happily.
"Yes," Jack replied.
"Does that mean that she will wake up one day? As long as I often talk in her ear, is it possible?"
Di Junlin's voice was very excited. He wanted to say, does that mean that as long as he does something that stimulates her, Lan Keqin will be stimulated until she wakes up?
However, he could not let Lan Keqin know about this idea. If she knew that he did something that stimulated her on purpose, of course, she would know that many things were fake. Then, the chances of her waking up would still be very slim.
"Uh...!"
Jack wanted to say this question but he did not expect Di Junlin to ask that. When he asked this question, Father Lan and Mother Lan looked at Jack, waiting for his answer.
"That's true, so you have to talk to her more often and do more prickles... wuwuwu!"
Before Jack could finish his sentence, Di Junlin covered his mouth and forcefully swallowed what he wanted to say.
Di Junlin glanced at him coldly and made a hand gesture, pointing at Lan Keqin who was on the bed.
Jack immediately understood what he meant and nodded. He didn't want him to know. He felt that he was so sinister. If he didn't do something, he would stab Lan Keqin, who was already very pitiful.
Seeing him nod, Di Junlin gradually let go of him. However, the good-for-nothing Yi Xuan wanted to court death.
"What Jack means is to do more..."
Bang!
"Aiyo! My mouth."
Yi Xuan covered the corner of his mouth that was beaten by Di Junlin. This guy's attack was really heavy. He could feel the sweetness in his mouth. Without thinking, he knew that he was beaten until he bled.
"Why did you beat me up?"
Yi Xuan was in tears over being beaten up by Di Junlin. His face was beaten up but it was the most painful part.
"Hmph! Your mouth stinks. Don't talk to me."
Di Junlin snorted coldly and scolded him.
Yi Xuan: "..." He looked at him innocently. Where did his mouth stink? He brushed his teeth twice a day—morning and night. How could his mouth stink?
Bai Lan looked at the beaten Yi Xuan as if he deserved it. Even Father Lan and Mother Lan knew Di Junlin's intentions. This annoying child was not afraid of death and wanted to say it out loud.
At this moment, Lan Keqin was very happy. She heard from Jack that it was very likely that she would return to normal. She had intended to wake up with great effort but her willpower was stronger now.
"Yi Xuan! Let's go. We need to go out and do something."
Bai Lan pulled the innocent Yi Xuan and walked out. She was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and get beaten up again. It didn't matter if he said the wrong thing but if Lan Keqin heard it, then he deserved to die.
"Uncle! Auntie! Come with me for a moment."
Di Junlin looked at Lan Keqin who was on the hospital bed. Before he wanted to reveal Lan Keqin's true identity, he had to tell Father and Mother Lan. If they didn't agree, he couldn't expose her.
"Okay!"
Father Lan nodded and walked out with Di Junlin with Mother Lan in his arms.
Lan Keqin was the only one in the ward. She was very curious. Yi Xuan and Jack obviously had something to say but Di Junlin stopped them.
She could not see but it did not mean that she could not hear. What did Di Junlin want to stop them from saying?
Whatever. The only thing she needed to do now was to wake up.
She really wanted to touch her baby with her hands.
"Haah!"
Lan Keqin sighed in her heart and said, "Baby! You have to be as strong as mommy. Stay healthy in mommy's stomach and be born safely."
After Lan Keqin finished muttering these words, she fell into a deep sleep. Ever since she woke up, she had not rested.
Di Junlin kept blaming himself beside her. He kept feeling sad and depressed. How could she fall asleep?
...
In the corridor outside the ward.
"Uncle and Aunt! There's something I want to discuss with you." Di Junlin looked at them and said.
"Junlin! If you have something to say, just say it. Don't worry about anything."
Father Lan saw the dilemma in Di Junlin's heart.
"It's about Keqin's background."
Di Junlin's voice was very soft. Even though there was a door between them, he was afraid that Lan Keqin would hear him.
"Keqin's background?"
Mother Lan and Father Lan muttered at the same time and asked in shock.
