The Mission of Awakening

She yawned and covered her mouth with her hand. She fell asleep on the sofa.

Lin Qi's heart ached. "This child..."

Gu Sen stretched out his index finger and made a shushing gesture. He whispered to the crowd, "She's exhausted. Han Ze, Gu Yu, you two stay here with your Third Brother. Let's talk in another room."

Zhizhi had already woken up. Gu Sen held her hand and led her to a more spacious outer room.

Gu An hurriedly said, "Then let's do what Gu Lin said. We'll take turns talking to Mom."

Lin Wan said, "Brother, you and Sister-in-law don't have to be here. You two should accompany Dad home. Zhizhi just came back and Sister-in-law is not in good health. You should stay at home and take care of them. There are still things to do at the company. Let us take care of things here at the hospital."

"That's right, Brother. We'll split the work. You'll be in charge of the house while we'll be in charge of the hospital," Gu Nian chimed in.

Gu Yu and He Zhao also tried to persuade him.

Han Cheng looked at the crowd. "There's still my family. Auntie watched me grow up."

Neither Gu An nor Han Li wanted to leave the hospital.

Gu Sen coughed lightly and motioned for everyone to listen to him. "Stop arguing. I understand your feelings. We are husband and wife for life. If there is a need to wake her up, no one is more suitable than me. I will stay and not go anywhere. I want to accompany my wife."

Gu Sen's attitude was very firm. The old man had been in the business world all his life and was decisive. Now that his children and grandchildren had grown up, he had retired to the second-tier and ignored everything, but he still had power.

Once he decided on something, no one could change his mind.

After Gu Sen made his decision, he looked at Zhizhi with a gentle smile. He waved at her and called her over. "Zhizhi, would you like to stay with Grandpa and accompany Grandma?"

Zhizhi did not know much about the adults' conversation, but she understood what her grandfather was asking.

She raised her head and looked at Han Li, "Mom, can I stay with Grandpa? I want to keep Grandma company. A sick person needs someone to keep her company!"

Her expression was especially serious.

Han Li squatted down and ran her fingers through her daughter's hair. "Okay, our Zhizhi is a good child. Let's stay here to accompany Grandpa and Grandma."

Zhizhi nodded and gave her mother a hug. She turned around and walked to her grandfather's side. "Don't be afraid, Grandpa. Zhizhi will stay with you. Grandma will wake up, and Zhizhi will always call you Grandma!"

She solemnly accepted this 'mission' despite her young age.

Everyone cold not help but smile, feeling gratified and touched.

Gu Sen touched Zhizhi's hair and said to her, and to everyone else, "Grandma must have sensed that Zhizhi is back, so she tried her best to wake up from the moment Zhizhi entered the house. Our Zhizhi is our family's Lucky Star!"

It was already the next day when Zhizhi saw her grandmother.

She slept in the adults' arms for the whole night and was a little muddled.

The entire atmosphere in the Gu family was a little depressing, and Zhizhi's mood was also a little tense.

Gu Lin brought Gu Sen and Zhizhi to change into protective clothing and entered the ICU.

Zhizhi hugged Gu Lin's neck tightly.

Gu Lin could feel Zhizhi's anxiety and comforted her, "Be good. Grandma's condition is quite stable. Just imagine that she's asleep and has entered a very, very deep dream. If we don't wake her up, she won't be able to find her way out, so we have to keep summoning her. Do you understand?"

Zhizhi nodded her head solemnly.

Old Madam Gu, Shi Cui, was lying quietly on the hospital bed, surrounded by instruments that made monotonous beeping sounds. She was full of tubes inserted into her body.

Zhizhi could not help but frown.

Gu Sen held his wife's hand when he saw her. He patted her hand gently. His eyes were red, but he could not say a word.

Gu Lin quickly comforted his grandfather. "You can't be agitated. If you can't calm down, I'm going to cancel your right to see Grandma! Grandma's condition is quite optimistic. Look at you, if you're sick, when Grandma wakes up, she will scold me to death!"

Gu Sen understood his grandson's meaning and nodded.

Gu Lin put Zhizhi down and led her to the bed. He was thinking about what to say to Zhizhi. Zhizhi gently held her grandmother's hand and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, it's Zhizhi. Does it hurt?"

She lowered her head and rubbed her face against Grandma's hand. "Don't be afraid. I've already talked to Grandpa. We'll accompany Grandma together. Third Brother said that you lost your way in your sleep. I have to call out to you more so cyou can find your way. Grandma, Grandma, do you hear me?"

Zhizhi was so serious that she was almost pious.
