Chapter 37
The Little Finger Moves
Yao Zizhou was in shock. It was as though he could not understand what his wife was saying. He had always felt that this person was not Ming Liuyi, but her words now confused him. And she was leaving? He had not even seen her with his own eyes, and she was already planning to leave?
Yao Zizhou’s heart ached. There was still “less than two months” left, he could not just let himself be unconscious like this. But he was perplexed. How did his wife know the exact time he would wake up? He could not find anything out at this moment, and could only wait for the reasons to unravel in time.
He had to wake up before his wife left. If she dared to leave without saying goodbye, he really did not know what he would do.
After Yao Zizhou’s body had soaked enough, his body was then cleaned up. During this time, Ming Liuyi took the opportunity to contact He Yanfeng. She had to bring forward her language classes.
After that, she contacted You Lingling, who usually contacted her first. Ming Liuyi started chatting with You Lingling while lying on the bed.
Ming Liuyi: [Lingling, I have good news for you. Doctor Miao Ruiming came to my house today to treat my husband. He said that there is a 60% chance that my husband will wake up.]
You Lingling: [!!! What kind of astonishing display of wealth and power is this? Miao Ruiming actually went to your house for a consultation? Liuyi, what kind of family do you come from?]
Ming Liuyi thought about it. She was just an ordinary “substitute wife.”
Ming Liuyi: [My husband’s family has connections.]
You Lingling: [I want to have such a network, too! I really envy you, Liuyi.]
Ming Liuyi: [How about this: The next time Doctor Miao comes, I’ll help you ask if he can go to your house for a consultation. Whether he will agree or not, will still depend on Doctor Miao.”
You Lingling: [There’s a ‘next time’? Just how much wealth and power are we talking here? How many times can Miao Ruiming go to your house?]
Ming Liuyi: [I’ll make the arrangements. If it’s not convenient for him, you can bring your fiancé to my house. I’ll ask him if he could see one more patient.]
You Lingling: [Liuyi, I’m truly grateful to you. I feel like my life has brightened up ever since I met you!]
Ming Liuyi: [You are my little sunshine. By the way, Lingling, do you have any other charity organizations other than the foundation for vegetative people?]
Seeing this, You Lingling was even more excited. She called Ming Liuyi straightaway and told her in great detail about the counseling support club she was going to organize. It was all for the sake of the families of those who were in vegetative states, such as children like He Yanfeng and He Luorong. In the long run, people in their situation tend to develop psychological problems such as low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence.
Ming Liuyi officially joined without having to say a word. This made her the second member of the club.
Ming Liuyi recently discovered a problem: Yao Zizhou sweated very easily. She thought it might be the effect of the spiritual spring and acupuncture, but what she did not know was that it was the result of Yao Zizhou’s efforts to move his body.
Lately, Yao Zizhou was regaining his consciousness more frequently. Before, he was only conscious when Ming Liuyi was around, and as soon as she was gone, he immediately lost consciousness. But recently, even when Ming Liuyi was not with him, he could still hold on to his consciousness for a while.
The last bath session especially left him feeling like he could stay awake for a long time, which was the reason why he kept sweating. He was constantly trying to gather his strength, starting from his fingers, and kept repeating his attempts.
However, before his consciousness blurred, he was still unable to move his fingers.
Meanwhile, Ming Liuyi had been researching all kinds of culinary food that could be fed to vegetative people. She would even add the spiritual water into it. Of course, she also gave You Lingling a portion of the “enhanced” food, saying that it was a newly made fruit purée and that everyone should try it. She definitely could not tell her about the spiritual spring.
Ming Liuyi fed the fruit purée to Yao Zizhou, but he could not give her a reaction to show if it was delicious.
However, Yao Zizhou was excited because this was the first time he could taste the flavors in food. The liquid food from before had made his mouth numb. He could occasionally detect a distinct taste like that of spring water only when his wife fed him. However, it was different this time. The fresh smell was even stronger than before.
This filled Yao Zizhou’s body with energy, and he tried to move his little finger again. Eventually, his little finger actually twitched slightly!
Yao Zizhou’s hand happened to be in Ming Liuyi’s blind spot, so she did not see the change. She only saw that Yao Zizhou was sweating again. So, after feeding him the fruit purée, she quickly called Zhao Qiang to help Yao Zizhou change his clothes.
