Sheng Tianci was so happy that he was almost in tears. On the contrary, Song Wanqiu felt like laughing.

If she were being honest, she had not expected Sheng Tianci to wait for her to wake up. He has been waiting for me for so long…

I really let him down.

Seeing that Sheng Tianci was staring at Song Wanqiu and could not stop smiling, Su Jiu chuckled and said to him, “Uncle, Auntie has just woken up. She must be hungry. Do you want to buy her some food?”

Sheng Tianci suddenly came to a realization. He hurriedly said, “Yes, I’ll go now!”

He was extremely enthusiastic. After taking another look at Song Wanqiu, he quickly left the ward with a smile on his face. The man did not look even one bit like an elite in the business world. He looked really silly.

After he left, Su Jiu walked to the bed and reached out to Song Wanqiu to hug her. “Auntie, I’m really happy that you’ve woken up. It has been a long time since I’ve been so happy!”

Song Wanqiu hugged her too before letting go of her. She then embarrassedly said, “Little Jiu, I want to take a shower before hugging you. I don’t even know how long it’s been since I took a shower… It must stink, right?”

Su Jiu smiled. “Auntie, Uncle Sheng hired a professional caretaker for you to take care of you every day, so you smell good now!”

A caretaker?

Song Wanqiu subconsciously asked, “Was the caretaker… a man or a woman?”

Su Jiu chuckled. “Of course, it’s a woman! Auntie, think about it. Would Uncle Sheng let a man be your nurse? He wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

Song Wanqiu lowered her head and smiled. “Of course. I must still be half-asleep.”

Then she looked at Rong Si again and reached out to pull him to her. “Ah Si, let me take a good look at you.”

Rong Si stepped in front of his mother and let her study him. His eyes were still red, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. He didn’t know how much emotion he was holding back.

Su Jiu knew that during the days when Auntie Song was asleep, even if Rong Si never said anything, how upset he felt and how much he hoped that Auntie Song would wake up. He was like that. He seemed to think that he had to bear everything silently. Rong Si was so stubborn that it made her heart ache.

Without thinking, Su Jiu took his other hand.

Rong Si glanced sideways at her and gripped her hand tightly, as if he was relying on her for strength.

Soon, Sheng Tianci returned to the ward with a few packed lunches. He placed them on the bedside table and said to Su Jiu and Rong Si, “I bought these at the Western restaurant nearby. Take whatever you want.”

Then, he took out a box of seafood pasta from the bag and looked at Song Wanqiu. “Don’t you like this? I bought it for you. Try it and see if it tastes like before.”

“Thank you!” Song Wanqiu reached out to take the box, but Sheng Tianci didn’t give it to her. Instead, he sat down by the bed and gathered up a mouthful of spaghetti with a fork. He brought it to her lips and said, “Eat.”

Song Wanqiu was stunned for a moment. Then, her fair and beautiful face blushed. She said nervously, “I… I can do it myself.”

Song Wanqiu felt that she was hopeless. She was not young anymore, and her child was already grown up. So why, when facing Sheng Tianci, was she still like those young girls who blushed and their hearts beat faster?

Sheng Tianci stubbornly said, “I’ll feed you.”

“No, thanks! I can really do this myself. I’m fine now.”
