Rong Si took out his cell phone. When saw that the call was from the hospital, he answered it immediately.
As he listened, his face fell at the words. “Really?!”
Hearing Rong Si sound a little agitated, Su Jiu turned to look at him. She saw his jaw tense, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions and listen to the person on the other end.
After hanging up, Rong Si seemed to be in a daze. Then he turned to look at her. “The hospital called.”
Hospital?
Su Jiu asked quickly, “What did they say?”
“They said … my mother’s awake.”
What? Auntie Song is awake?!
Su Jiu’s eyes widened in shock. “Then let’s hurry and see her!”
Then, she said to Uncle Zhong, who was driving in front, “Uncle Zhong, we’re not going to the airport. Turn around, and go to the hospital!”
Uncle Zhong turned the car around and looked in the direction of the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital and found Song Wanqiu’s ward, they saw a few doctors and nurses standing outside the corridor and discussing something.
“It’s incredible. She has been asleep for years, and now she’s awake!”
“Yes. I thought she’d never wake up. That’s nice. Her family would be thrilled if they knew.”
At this moment, the doctors and nurses saw Rong Si and Su Jiu. Both youngsters were wearing hats and masks, but from their figures, the hospital staff knew that they were people who often came to visit Song Wanqiu.
They hurriedly made way for the two and said, “Congratulations! The patient is finally awake, and her body is healthy. She can be discharged in two days.”
“Thank you!” Rong Si said, his voice trembling.
Su Jiu knew he must be very excited now, but was trying his best to control himself.
“Big Brother, let’s go in quickly,” Su Jiu said as she pulled Rong Si into the ward. When they entered the ward, they saw Song Wanqiu open her eyes. She was leaning against the headboard with a glass of water in her hand.
Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. She was so happy that she wanted to cry.
She and the little villain had been hoping that Auntie Song would wake up. Now that she had, Su Jiu’s voice broke. “Auntie Song, you’re finally awake. That’s great!”
When Song Wanqiu saw Su Jiu and Rong Si, her eyes suddenly turned red. Her voice choked. “Ah Si… Little Jiu.”
Rong Si walked over and steadily looked at his mother. His throat worked. After a long moment, he said, “Mom…”
His eyes were also slightly red, and his hands were clenched at his sides, as if he were still trying to control his emotions.
Song Wanqiu looked at her son, who seemed to have grown taller. She reached out to him. Rong Si walked toward her and let her hold his hand.
The long-forgotten warmth between them made their hearts tremble.
Song Wanqiu couldn’t help but cry. “Ah Si, I didn’t expect to wake up or see you and Little Jiu. It’s been so long since we last saw each other. You’re all grown up…”
Su Jiu also went forward and held Song Wanqiu’s hand. “Auntie, Big Brother and I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I’m so happy you woke up.”
“I’m sorry to have worried you.”
Rong Si’s throat moved again, and his voice was slightly hoarse. “I’m glad you’re awake.”
His heart was beating very fast now. His eyes were focused on Song Wanqiu. He didn’t even dare to blink, afraid that he was dreaming.
Song Wanqiu held his hand and refused to let go. Tears flowed down her pale face again. “Ah Si, how have you been while I was in the hospital?”
