Qin Teng and Shi Yunyang appeared together at the hospital. Although Han Shibin tried to use his connections to obtain the footage from the accident scene, he clearly underestimated the Qin family's extensive influence in the city. It was impossible to cover up, as everyone in the Qin family had already seen the footage.
"Sister, are you okay?" Qin Teng approached Qin Wanshu with concern.
"I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is Zuo Qinghuan." Qin Wanshu rubbed her extremely tired eyes. It had been a whole night, and Zuo Qinghuan still hadn't woken up. This kind of waiting is really tormenting.
"Miss, you'd better go and rest for a while. A thirty-year-old woman can't withstand staying up all night," Shi Yunyang advised Qin Wanshu, who looked somewhat tired. She had never seen Qin Wanshu in such a bad state of mind before. In Shi Yunyang's memory, Qin Wanshu had always been disciplined, elegant, beautiful, and composed. She was different from everyone else. But now, Qin Wanshu looked like a normal person, with worries, fatigue, and anxiety. Although Qin Wanshu had married Han Shibin before, it didn't feel like she belonged to him. On the contrary, it seemed like Han Shibin admired her like a believer. But now, Shi Yunyang had a feeling that Qin Wanshu belonged to Zuo Qinghuan. Zuo Qinghuan had somehow dragged Qin Wanshu into the mortal world, and now, Zuo Qinghuan occupied a significant place in Qin Wanshu's life. Shi Yunyang felt somewhat uncomfortable with this, as she believed that no one could match Qin Wanshu. This feeling was similar to how some fans felt when their idols got married. They didn't want to see their idols take off their idol's cloak and live a life like everyone else. In fact, not only Shi Yunyang but also Qin Teng had similar feelings.
"She hasn't woken up, and I can't sleep," Qin Wanshu replied. Even if she closed her eyes, she would be startled awake, filled with scenes of Zuo Qinghuan being hit and thrown. The palpable fear had never subsided. At times like this, Qin Wanshu would always grab Zuo Qinghuan's hand, feeling the warmth of Zuo Qinghuan's body temperature, which would slightly ease her anxiety.
"You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of her properly," Shi Yunyang frowned as she spoke. She felt like the part of Qin Wanshu that belonged to her had been taken away by Zuo Qinghuan. When she was younger, no matter how she played or caused trouble, the moment she turned around to look back, she would see Qin Wanshu quietly watching her from behind. As long as Qin Wanshu was behind her, she would feel at ease. There was a kind of spiritual strength in Qin Wanshu that could calm people's hearts. It was like when her mother died when they were nine years old, Qin Wanshu helped her get through the hardest days. Shi Yunyang couldn't understand her feelings towards Qin Wanshu. If it was love, she had never thought of possessing her. Before, Shi Yunyang was always creating opportunities for them, fearing that they wouldn't be together. At that time, Shi Yunyang didn't think that Zuo Qinghuan held a special place in Qin Wanshu's heart. At most, she thought Zuo Qinghuan was just another person blessed by the goddess's radiance. But now, it felt like the goddess's radiance was being monopolized. Shi Yunyang felt that the goddess shouldn't be owned privately; she was public property, belonging to everyone.
Shi Yunyang and Qin Teng then turned their gaze to Zuo Qinghuan, feeling somewhat conflicted. They were relieved that Zuo Qinghuan had pushed Qin Wanshu away. In their hearts, ten Zuo Qinghuans couldn't compare to the importance of one Qin Wanshu.
"I know my limit," Qin Wanshu said lightly. "Since you were able to find the hospital, does that mean Grandpa knows too?" Qin Wanshu asked. Secrets can't be kept forever, so it's better that the family knows and they can be honest with them.
"Mm. Grandpa knows too. He wants me to tell you to come back immediately," Qin Wanshu said. The atmosphere in the Qin family was very solemn. Despite disappointing the old man countless times himself, it was his sister who managed to dumbfound their grandfather and parents with just one incident. Qin Teng believed that for a long time to come, Grandpa wouldn't even think about bothering him.
"I can't leave now," Qin Wanshu shook her head. She wouldn't leave the hospital until Qinghuan woke up.
"What about Grandpa, Mom, and Dad? And Han Shibin, how do you plan to handle him?" Although Qin Teng had just arrived after beating Han Shibin up, he didn't intend to let him off so easily. Anyone who wanted to harm his sister wouldn't have an easy time.
"I'll handle Grandpa, Mom, and Dad myself. As for Han Shibin, we'll talk about it when Qinghuan wakes up." If Zuo Qinghuan didn't wake up, Qin Wanshu would make sure Han Shibin paid the price. But she believed that Zuo Qinghuan would definitely wake up. She would leave the decision to Qinghuan.
Shi Yunyang looked at Zuo Qinghuan, who was still unconscious, and thought, You actually succeeded. With just one car accident, you've managed to claim Qin Wanshu for yourself. Owning Qin Wanshu, something I wouldn't dare to do has been accomplished by a woman who doesn't seem like much.
Qin Teng also looked at Zuo Qinghuan. It seemed this woman was serious about his sister. However, his sister was someone who was easily loved by others in the first place. But even if you're serious, it doesn't mean you're worthy of her. Qin Teng knew that no matter how unwilling he was, it wouldn't change anything. He knew his sister was stubborn; once she made up her mind, she wouldn't easily change it. As long as Zuo Qinghuan didn't leave on her own, his sister would never give up on this woman.
After Shi Yunyang and Qin Teng left, Qin Wanshu realized that her phone had run out of battery long ago. After replacing the battery, she called her mother. She knew her mother's heart was the most easily softened.
"Mom, it's me, Wanshu," Qin Wanshu said softly.
"Are you okay? We've been trying to call you but couldn't get through. We're very worried..." Lin Jingxian said anxiously.
"Mom, I'm fine," Qin Wanshu reassured her mother.
The old man had been looking very bad these past two days. She just hoped that this matter was just a misunderstanding, and that her daughter, who had always been the most obedient, would not let them worry or let them down.
"Is it true? You like a woman, and because of that woman, you divorced Han Shibin? It's just Han Shibin's excuses, right?" Lin Jingxian actively defended Qin Wanshu, believing in her as long as she wasn't at fault.
"Mom, I really like her. Divorcing wasn't solely because of her, there were many reasons. I'll explain everything to you slowly in the future," Qin Wanshu said calmly.
"But, she's a woman like you. How can a woman like another woman?" Lin Jingxian was also a very traditional woman. She always believed that there could only be friendship between women, not love. She couldn't understand this kind of feeling.
"She's just herself, regardless of gender. If you meet her, you would like her too. But she's still unconscious, so I can't bring her to meet you yet," Qin Wanshu said softly when talking about Zuo Qinghuan.
Lin Jingxian sighed softly. She knew that Qin Wanshu was now isolated and had turned to her for help first. But what mother would want her daughter to like women? However, she couldn't bear to make things difficult for her daughter. After all, Qin Wanshu had always been very sensible since she was a child. She'll wait until she meets that woman before making a decision.
"What about your Grandpa?" Lin Jingxian asked. Grandpa had always cherished Qin Wanshu the most since she was a child. Because of this matter, he hardly ate any lunch and went back upstairs.
"I need to take care of her right now and can't leave. Could you please tell Grandpa for me?" Qin Wanshu pleaded.
"Father, Wanshu just called back," Lin Jingxian mentioned. Among all of Qin Zheng's daughters-in-law, he valued Lin Jingxian the most. The Lin family was also prominent, and not only did they match well in terms of social status, but Lin Jingxian's gentle and virtuous personality also set a good example. It was because of having such a mother as a role model that they were able to raise a refined young lady like Wanshu.
"Is she okay? Is she still at the hospital? When will she come back?" Qin Zheng asked. Although he now detested Han Shibin, he couldn't be sure that everything Han Shibin said was false. Naturally, he had someone check into Zuo Qinghuan's background. As someone from that kind of background, Qin Zheng couldn't bring himself to like her. Moreover, she had such a messy relationship with his precious granddaughter and that scoundrel of a former grandson-in-law.
"Wanshu is fine, it's just that girl still hasn't woken up. Wanshu must have some sort of debt to her. Wanshu naturally won't just leave her unattended," Lin Jingxian said, skirting around the issue and only mentioning the debt of gratitude, not the incomprehensible feelings between them. She knew Qin Zheng's character well. No matter how reluctant he was to have Wanshu with that girl, he wouldn't force Wanshu to come back at this time.
"If it weren't for that girl, how could all this nonsense have happened?" Qin Zheng said with a cold snort. However, he didn't immediately demand that Qin Wanshu come back. Having a debt of gratitude was one thing, but mixing everything up together was another.

"You haven't rested properly in two days. I'm afraid you'll exhaust yourself before Zuo Qinghuan wakes up. Take a rest first. I'll watch over her here," Li Xin persuaded.
"It's okay. I'm just tired. I'll rest for a bit. I'll take care of myself. Otherwise, how can I take care of her in the future?" Compared to Zuo Qinghuan, her little exhaustion is nothing.
"Zuo Qinghuan, please wake up. Your goddess looks so haggard. If you don't feel bad for her, I feel bad for you," Li Xin said to the still figure lying on the hospital bed. She believed that Zuo Qinghuan could hear her.
"She's probably just tired, so she needs a little extra sleep. Once she's rested enough, she'll naturally wake up," Qin Wanshu said to Li Xin with a smile, her tone was firm and reassuring.
Li Xin looked at Qin Wanshu with a slight surprise. Earlier, when she said Zuo Qinghuan would wake up, it might have been more for comfort, but now, seeing Qin Wanshu's determined expression, Li Xin truly believed that Zuo Qinghuan would wake up. Even though Qin Wanshu looked much more exhausted than usual at the moment, Li Xin could still sense her powerful inner strength. Qin Wanshu was an extraordinary woman. Li Xin thought to herself, how could Zuo Qinghuan bear to leave such an outstanding woman behind?
"Haven't you slept enough yet?" Qin Wanshu gently kissed Zuo Qinghuan's fingers and asked the still unconscious Zuo Qinghuan.
"No matter how long you sleep, I'll wait for you," Qin Wanshu placed Zuo Qinghuan's hand over her own heart, making a solemn promise.
Zuo Qinghuan felt like she was dreaming. In the dream, there were Zuo Yan and Qin Wanshu, both waving at her from opposite directions. As she walked towards Zuo Yan, Qin Wanshu waved at her. Zuo Yan told her that as long as she followed her, she would be a good mother and wouldn't let her be lonely. Her steps involuntarily moved towards Zuo Yan, but Qin Wanshu kept calling her name from behind, sounding very anxious. She couldn't bear to see Qin Wanshu so worried, but no matter how she walked, she couldn't reach Qin Wanshu. This made her very anxious, so anxious that she cried.
"If you follow me, there will be no more pain. Being with her, you still have a long and difficult journey ahead, with much loneliness and helplessness. These are things she can't solve for you..." Zuo Yan had never held her in such a warm embrace before, making Zuo Qinghuan reluctant to leave. But she needed to find Qin Wanshu. Only Qin Wanshu's embrace could truly make her feel at ease.
"As long as I can be with her, I'm not afraid of anything," Zuo Qinghuan pushed Zuo Yan away and ran towards Qin Wanshu.
Zuo Qinghuan's fingers twitched slightly, and she finally struggled to open her eyes.
"I knew you wouldn't make me wait too long," Qin Wanshu looked at the awakened Zuo Qinghuan. She wanted to smile at Zuo Qinghuan, but her eyes couldn't hold back the tears that welled up, silently rolling down her cheeks. The emotions she had been holding back were finally released. In truth, she wasn't as firm inside as she appeared. She was very afraid that Zuo Qinghuan wouldn't wake up.
"Why are you crying? You look so haggard too," Zuo Qinghuan's fingers gently brushed Qin Wanshu's cheek, feeling the warmth of the tears. Those tears touched Zuo Qinghuan's heart deeply.
Author's Note:
Excessive chapters may make it boring…
Yesterday I originally intended to revise Chapter 82 because there were many illogical parts, but halfway through, I became so frustrated that I simply stopped. I'm truly an irresponsible person. Let's just pretend Li Xin is a genius, capable of everything, and ignore the illogical parts.
