Chapter 163 - 163 157 154 The Flood Recedes

163: Chapter 157 Chapter 154: The Flood Recedes 163: Chapter 157 Chapter 154: The Flood Recedes Jianghuai City, the flood had slowly subsided.

After the typhoon, the sky was clear, and the sun shone fiercely on the ground, causing the muddy waters to begin receding.

The drains were cleared by the firefighters and some pipe dredging personnel.

When the floodwaters had finally receded from the entire city, people discovered that it was a city soaked by the floodwaters.

Numerous cars were stuck in place, unable to move, waiting for rescue.

Some of the submerged roads also revealed their original surfaces, with layers upon layers of grimy stains on the ground.

Water trucks started washing the streets, and massive groups of Armed Police Soldiers began sweeping the ground with brooms.

Jianghuai City Hospital.

Ye Chen had been lying there for three days and two nights.

The streets outside had already returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

But, who knew about Ye Chen lying inside the hospital?

Only a handful of people were aware of Ye Chen’s condition.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Momo hurried to the hospital.

The flood had submerged their bungalow, and she had taken a leave to clean up the house.

When she received the news of Ye Chen lapsing into a coma, she immediately dropped what she was doing and rushed to the City Hospital.

“Brother Chen!” Liu Momo threw herself onto him, looking at Ye Chen lying on the hospital bed, she felt as if she had lost her backbone.

In Liu Momo’s heart, Ye Chen was like her fiancé, and she had already decided that she would marry Ye Chen immediately after graduating from university.

But now, Ye Chen was in a coma, and there was even a possibility of him becoming vegetative.

This made Liu Momo’s heart fill with immense sadness.

Liu Momo lay on Ye Chen, grasping his hand, and mournfully said, “Brother Chen, please wake up, please wake up and look at Momo.

Don’t you like Momo?

How can you bear to see Momo crying so sadly?”

Seeing Liu Momo this heartbroken, Li Ruo quickly comforted her, “Momo, don’t cry, Ye Chen will definitely be alright!”

“Sister Li Ruo!” Liu Momo immediately embraced Li Ruo, and the two women leaned on each other, looking exceptionally beautiful as they cried together.

At this moment, Feng Zhixiao and others walked in, each carrying fruit baskets, while Xiao Er held a bunch of fresh flowers, all visiting Ye Chen.

These folks, knowing that Ye Chen was in a coma, were disheartened and lacked the energy to work.

Heavenly Reversal Gang had just started to gain a bit of stability, and if they lost Ye Chen, their backbone, it wouldn’t be long before they were trampled by others.

“Brother Chen, please wake up soon, the brothers are still waiting for you!” Feng Zhixiao stood in front of Ye Chen, then slightly bowed to him.

“Brother Chen, hurry and wake up.

I promise you, I will definitely stop blabbering nonsense!” Xiao Er earnestly looked at Ye Chen, clasped his arm, and continued, “I also guarantee that I’ll never flirt around again, and if I do flirt, I’ll definitely wear a condom…”

Slap…

Feng Zhixiao slapped Xiao Er on the back of his head, angrily said, “Idiot, what are you saying in front of Brother Chen?”

“Ah?!” Xiao Er was stunned, quickly rubbed his head, and dared not make another sound.

“Mr.

Li, Momo, we must be going now, there are some matters to handle at the casino!” Feng Zhixiao finished visiting Ye Chen and then proposed his departure.

Li Ruo and Liu Momo nodded.

Before leaving, Feng Zhixiao said, “If there’s any change in Brother Chen’s condition, be sure to call me!”

“Mhm, we definitely will!” Li Ruo nodded.

After Feng Zhixiao left, only Li Ruo and Liu Momo remained in the room, the two awkwardly staying inside the hospital room.

Li Ruo, having seen and known much, immediately tried to alleviate the awkward atmosphere between them and asked, “Momo, are you studying at Jianghuai University?”

“Yes!” Liu Momo nodded.

“Then…

are you really Ye Chen’s sister?” Li Ruo curiously asked.

“I…

not really a biological sister, but Brother Chen has always treated me as his sister!” Liu Momo’s face flushed with embarrassment, yet she inwardly scorned herself for having no shame, while Brother Chen always saw her as a sister, she herself had been shamelessly desiring to marry him.

“Oh?

Is that so!” Li Ruo immediately felt relieved, as if understanding something, and curiously inquired, “Then…

how did you and Ye Chen meet?”

“Actually, we met ten months ago…” Liu Momo told the truth.

The two women opened up a conversation and found many common topics to discuss.

It is said that three women make a drama, and likewise, two women have endless things to discuss.

They sat in the hospital room, sharing everything about Ye Chen.

Li Ruo could hear from Liu Momo’s words how deeply she loved Ye Chen.

At last, it was already evening.

The night lights began to shine, and the street lamps lit up one after another.

Three days after the flood, everything in Jianghuai City had returned to normal.

Now, the hottest trade naturally belonged to the automobile repair industry, as numerous cars that had been soaked in the floodwaters were now parked in repair shops, waiting to be fixed.

On the streets, large crowds dressed in cool summer clothes were strolling around.

“Momo, you go home first.

You still need to help your mom with her stall today!” Li Ruo held Liu Momo’s hand and said, “If there is any problem with Ye Chen, I will call and let you know!”

“Okay!” Liu Momo nodded.

She had stayed with Ye Chen all day but still had not seen any improvement.

Later, Liu Momo reluctantly left the hospital room.

She now had a general understanding of Ye Chen’s condition—if he could not wake up by tomorrow, he might need surgery.

The surgery had a sixty percent chance of success, meaning it still carried a significant risk.

Liu Momo decided to personally come and guard Ye Chen tomorrow.

After Liu Momo left, only Li Ruo remained in the hospital room.

Lin Ziwen stood at the doorway.

These past few days, Lin Ziwen had been accompanying Li Ruo.

If it weren’t for Lin Ziwen taking care of Li Ruo’s meals, this delicate woman might have already collapsed.

Ye Chen’s coma made Li Ruo forget everything.

It seemed she only had Ye Chen in her eyes, spending all day at the hospital by his side.

“Mr.

Li, it’s time for you to eat!” Lin Ziwen quickly entered with the insulated food container.

“Ah, Ziwen, I have no appetite,” Li Ruo shook her head.

“Mr.

Li, whether you have an appetite or not, you should eat a little!” Lin Ziwen continued to earnestly persuade her, saying, “If Ye Chen wakes up and sees you so haggard, he would be very heartbroken!”

“Really?” Li Ruo was startled and asked, “Ye Chen would feel heartbroken because of my haggardness?”

“Of course!” Lin Ziwen nodded and said, “Moreover, I know that Ye Chen really likes you.”

“Is that so?” Li Ruo slightly bowed her head.

A blush had already appeared on her cheeks—Ye Chen’s confession in that moment had deeply touched her.

In the whole of Jianghuai City, numerous people were pursuing Li Ruo, including some successful people and even some outstanding men from abroad.

But their courtships only made Li Ruo feel disgusted.

In contrast, Ye Chen’s confession at the moment of danger had made Li Ruo’s heart flutter.

“Of course it’s true!” Lin Ziwen nodded and said, “I believe that everything Ye Chen does is because he likes you.”

“Ah…” Li Ruo sighed and said, “But, I don’t know how to face these feelings.

I have a personality disorder, I’m autistic, I have so many psychological issues…

I’m afraid…

I’m afraid I will hurt him!”

“Mr.

Li, loving someone is not wrong, no matter what kind of mindset or psychological symptoms you have.

I believe that true lovers will eventually be united,” Lin Ziwen hurriedly comforted Li Ruo.

Li Ruo might appear to be a very glamorous person, but who knew the hurts she had suffered in the United States, coldly abandoned by men and her dignity trampled upon…

“I…

I don’t know how to express my emotions!” Li Ruo sighed and then helplessly said, “Maybe in this world, some people shouldn’t have a destination.

They shouldn’t be worthy of someone else’s love, especially a man as outstanding as Ye Chen.

I believe he is definitely not an ordinary man; his background must hide some earth-shattering identity!”

Li Ruo’s feeling was very real and yet vague.

At any rate, her other instincts told her that Ye Chen’s identity was definitely not simple.

Under Lin Ziwen’s persuasion, Li Ruo finally ate some food, albeit reluctantly and very little, but it was something, nonetheless.

Lin Ziwen quickly cleaned up and then left with the insulated food container.

Li Ruo leaned against the headboard, holding Ye Chen’s hand tightly, and said, “Ye Chen, if you truly like me, then give me some time.

After I convince myself, I believe I will appear before you as a completely new person!”

As Li Ruo spoke, tears started to fall, landing on Ye Chen’s face and impacting his heart.
