Chapter 604: Chapter 601: (1 more)

Within the critical 24-hour window, Jin Yu’s heart almost stopped twice, summoning the nurses and doctors to the intensive care unit on both occasions.

Xu Niannian and Jin Ruiyang, waiting anxiously in the hallway, were on edge.

Xu Niannian kept clenching her hands tightly, so tense that she didn’t even notice her nails digging into the backs of her hands.

Her teeth were also trembling, and it was Xu Sisi who promptly noticed and pried her hands apart, "Sister Niannian, brother-in-law will definitely be okay."

Xu Sisi was equally worried.

As time ticked away, Jin Yu’s heart almost stopped beating twice but he pulled through at the last moment each time.

After the second departure of the doctors from the ward, Xu Niannian nearly collapsed, her back soaked with sweat.

Thankfully, he was okay.

Xu Niannian’s smile was pale and weak; she buried her head deeply, "I’ll go out for a walk."

Suddenly, she didn’t want to wait here anymore; she feared she wouldn’t be able to withstand another episode.

Xu Niannian left the entrance of the intensive care unit and ran down to the park below the hospital.

Xu Sisi and Jin Ruiyang were worried about her and wanted to follow her, but Xu Niannian refused them both.

She wanted some time alone in silence.

Fearing that if she stayed any longer, she would break down.

Watching Xu Niannian leave, Jin Ruiyang felt a heavy weight in his heart, knowing that if it weren’t for him, Jin Yu would not be in this situation.

Guilt spread through Jin Ruiyang’s heart; if he could, he would rather be the one lying inside.

At least he was not like Jin Yu, who had a wife and children waiting for him.

Now whenever Jin Ruiyang closed his eyes, the only thing he saw was the moment when Jin Yu pushed him out of the way.

Watching powerlessly as Jin Yu was hit by bullets, falling in front of him, that moment made Jin Ruiyang feel as if his heart was going to stop.

He and Jin Yu had always been close since childhood; he never admitted aloud that Jin Yu was his brother, but in his heart, Jin Yu held a special place.

He was the one who helped him through every adversity.

If something were to happen to Jin Yu, Jin Ruiyang didn’t know where he would go from there.

With Xu Niannian gone, only Jin Ruiyang and Xu Sisi were left outside the ward.

Xu Sisi was still on an IV drip, which Jin Ruiyang had been carrying for her, but after Jin Yu’s heart almost stopped twice, Jin Ruiyang was nearly in pieces and couldn’t think about anything else.

Xu Sisi had never seen this side of Jin Ruiyang before: defeated, breaking down.

His eyes were bloodshot and his voice barely concealing a choke.

Even though Jin Ruiyang had exposed his true nature in front of Xu Sisi before, he had never lost his composure like he did now.

His clothes were stained with quite a bit of blood, and Xu Sisi could smell the blood even without getting close; his hair was also a messy tangle.

Yet seeing him like this, Xu Sisi felt a sudden, oppressive sadness.

"Brother Ruiyang... brother-in-law Jin Yu will be okay," she said softly, trying to comfort him, yet knowing how pale and powerless her reassurances were in such a situation.

What could she promise to guarantee that nothing would happen to Jin Yu?

Even Sister Niannian, such a strong person, couldn’t bear it and left the place.

"Right, he will be okay," Jin Ruiyang rubbed his face, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the door of the intensive care unit. "Jin Xiaoyu has always been tough; he overcomes others, and no one can overcome him."

Xu Niannian walked around the hospital park in a state of utter chaos, and finally, when she reached a small path, she couldn’t hold back any longer and crouched down, covering her face and crying.

The resolve she had been holding up collapsed at that moment.

Each time the doctors entered the intensive care unit, they emerged with more serious expressions than the last.

Xu Niannian didn’t even dare to ask the doctors about Jin Yu’s current condition.

She feared hearing an answer that would terrify her.

After crying for a long time, Xu Niannian slowly wiped away her tears and turned back towards the hospital.

She had to return to be with Jin Yu; otherwise, if he woke up and didn’t see her, he would definitely be angry.

Thinking of Jin Yu’s petulant behavior, Xu Niannian cried and laughed at the same time.

Arriving once more at the entrance of the intensive care unit, Jin Ruiyang and Xu Sisi came towards her together.

Xu Sisi helped her, asking with concern, "Sister Niannian, are you okay?"

Xu Niannian shook her head, "I’m fine."

The night went on, and it dragged on interminably.

Xu Sisi couldn’t stay awake any longer as the night wore on and dozed off, slumping against the bench.

Jin Ruiyang, seeing her, suggested she lean on his shoulder.

Before dawn, footsteps echoed through the hallway.

As if sensing something, Xu Niannian turned her head to see Nanny Zhao and Jin Nanxi arriving at the hospital, holding Xiao Bao and Da Bao.

At that instant, Xu Niannian didn’t know what to say, her tears falling without warning.

"Baobao..."

She quickly walked over; Da Bao was being held by Nanny Zhao, wide-eyed, he looked at her roundly, opened his arms, and with a "Wow" sound, reached out to be held by Xu Niannian.

Xiao Bao also stared at her with wide eyes; Xiao Bao, who had been ill, seemed to have lost weight and the sparkle in his eyes wasn’t as vibrant as before.

Xu Niannian covered her mouth, tears streaming down incessantly.

"Baobao," she softly embraced Da Bao as he flung himself at her.

Da Bao was usually mischievous, but today, he was exceptionally quiet. As soon as Xu Niannian held him, he cuddled against her neck quietly, resting his small head on her shoulder, not speaking or fussing, very well-behaved.
