Chapter 124: Chapter 124 I Can’t Sleep Without You

Fu Yanhe looked down at her and let out a soft sigh, "It’s a bit hot, I came out for some air. Why did you wake up?"

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, "Can’t sleep without me by your side?"

Shen Yanhe blinked, a flush spreading to the tips of her ears as she slowly denied, "No..."

In actuality, yes.

Without him by her side, she couldn’t sleep.

She was originally snuggled in his arms, sound asleep, but for some reason, she suddenly woke up to find that the spot where Fu Yanhe had been lying next to her was empty.

She had come out looking for him instinctively, only to learn from San Fang that he had gone to the restroom.

She wanted to go as well, so she followed the path and, after finishing in the restroom, she saw a faint figure sitting at the end of the corridor.

As if possessed, she walked over.

She hadn’t expected that the person sitting there would really be him.

Shen Yanhe shifted her gaze away from him, looking out at the night scenery and squinting her eyes as she enjoyed the cool breeze, "The night wind here is indeed very comfortable."

"Comfortable as it may be, you can’t stay out in it for too long," Fu Yanhe said, taking her hand and pulling her up from the ground, "You fainted today; you’re not well."

"Let’s go back and keep sleeping," he suggested.

Shen Yanhe obediently nodded, allowing him to lead her by the hand back to the hospital room.

Fu Yanhe’s eyes dropped, a slight struggle evident in his gaze.

Should he tell Shen Yanhe about the baby?

Forget it.

She had already expended so much energy today, and her mind and heart were consumed with worry for Shen Huai. If he were to tell her about the baby, she would surely be terrified.

Better to wait for a more appropriate time.

But what he didn’t know was.

Without him having to tell her, Shen Yanhe could sense the changes in her own body, especially since she had stealthily taken her own pulse.

Now all she was waiting for was daybreak so she could buy a pregnancy test. After dealing with Li Wei’s matter and visiting Shen Huai, she would test herself again.

-

The next day.

Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe got up early.

Fu Yanhe asked San Fang to buy breakfast for them to eat together in the hospital room.

"I’ve also prepared breakfast for Grandmother. She’s currently refusing to leave the ICU waiting area. I’ve arranged for someone to watch over her there."

"There’s a meeting at the company today, and I need to go early. I’ll leave San Fang with you. Stay in the hospital and don’t run around," he said, his eyes calm, as his long, pale hand used disposable bamboo chopsticks to pick up a meat bun for her, his thin lips parting to give her careful instructions.

"I’ll come back tonight and bring you a change of clothes," he continued, "Let’s deal with that nurse’s issue when I get here."

Shen Yanhe stuffed a siu mai from her bowl into her mouth, her cheeks bulging as she took the bun he offered and nodded repeatedly.

Her bright eyes glistened as she looked at him, her cat-like eyes curving, her speech unclear as she said, "Yanhe, you really are a good person."

A soft smile spread through Fu Yanhe’s eyes, "One should not speak while eating or talk in bed. Eat properly."

Shen Yanhe shot him a glance.

He understood the message she wanted to convey with her eyes and calmly responded, "I’m a hypocrite."

Shen Yanhe choked, "..." You win.

After breakfast, Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe went their separate ways.

Shen Yanhe headed to the observation room, where she saw Ye Min sitting on a chair, her eyes fixed through the glass on Shen Huai in the ICU, covered in tubes.

Although the bone marrow transplant was successful, the three-month rejection period following the surgery was the most dangerous for Shen Huai.

During these three months, he would have to stay in the Intensive Care Unit.

Shen Yanhe looked at the old lady’s eager expression, feeling a pang of sourness in her heart. She stepped forward and called out to her, "Grandma."

Ye Min turned her head to look, eyes filled with concern, "Yanyan, are you alright? Yanhe said you passed out yesterday as well."

"I’m fine, don’t worry. Little Huai is fine too; his bone marrow transplant was very successful!" Shen Yanhe stepped forward and hugged the old lady’s frail shoulders, reassuring her with a gentle voice.

"Then why hasn’t he woken up yet?" Ye Min’s eyebrows were knitted with worry.

"The doctor said that this is normal, and it will take a couple of days for him to wake up!" Shen Yanhe lied without batting an eye.

"You shouldn’t worry too much either. What if Little Huai wakes up and sees his most beloved grandma has collapsed? How heartbroken would he be?"

Ye Min, unfamiliar with these matters, believed Shen Yanhe when she said this.

"You need to go take a shower now, and then get a good night’s sleep." Shen Yanhe observed her facial expressions subtly, and seeing that she believed her, she patted her on the shoulder and led her back to the caregiver room.

She watched her shower and then watched her lie down to sleep before she left the room, relieved.

After leaving the caregiver room, Shen Yanhe directly went to find Doctor Qiao to inquire about Shen Huai’s condition.

"The patient’s vital signs are still stable, and there are no signs of severe rejection. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up tonight..."

Doctor Qiao and Shen Yanhe briefly discussed Shen Huai’s situation, and after confirming that he had moved from critical to stable, she finally let go of the worry she’d been holding onto.

"By the way, Miss Shen." Doctor Qiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat ugly as he spoke, "Last night, you asked me to check the cause of Shen Huai’s sudden shock. I reviewed the surgery process and confirmed that no accidents had occurred."

"When looking for environmental factors, we found this under the operating table."

Doctor Qiao handed Shen Yanhe a sealed bag containing a dead cockroach, his eyebrows tightening, "We all understand the importance of a sterile environment due to Shen Huai’s serious condition, so I had called in the sterilization staff to thoroughly disinfect the operating room."

"They wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake."

Doctor Qiao hesitated, "Additionally, I had many patients at the time, so I asked the assistant Li Wei to help keep an eye on the sterilization, but now she’s gone missing, and not answering her phone..."

This made it difficult for him not to suspect Li Wei.

Shen Yanhe received the sealed cockroach from Doctor Qiao with a calm expression, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Qiao. I’ll handle the rest."

Understanding the situation, Doctor Qiao nodded knowingly.

Remembering Fu Yanhe’s reaction last night, he wanted to warn Shen Yanhe, but seeing San Fang following her, he decided not to say anything.

At noon.

While San Fang went off to buy lunch, Shen Yanhe bought several pregnancy tests.

She had been planning to test herself, but just then, San Fang returned with lunch looking for her, so she temporarily set it aside.

She’d deal with Li Wei’s case first in the evening and then take the test.

The day passed quickly.

Evening fell.

When it was time for Li Wei to meet with that woman, Shen Yanhe had already arranged for bodyguards to hide near the hospital’s rooftop.

She also had San Fang bring Li Wei up to the rooftop.

Fu Yanhe and Shen Yanhe were hiding in a nearby ward, waiting for the target to appear.

Half an hour later.

A slender figure, fully dressed in black casual clothes, with a sun hat on their head and a mask on their face, crept up the stairs to the rooftop.

Shen Yingying had visited the hospital secretly today to inquire about Shen Huai’s condition.

Having learned that Shen Huai had suffered a sudden shock during yesterday’s surgery, and the prognosis was more grim than favorable, the family might already be preparing for the worst.

Excitement surged in her heart, so she came ten minutes early to meet with Li Wei.
