”Mr. Xiang.” The doctor specially prepared for the old home immediately stood up and bowed when he saw Xiang Qicheng.

”Have you checked? ”What's going on?” Xiang Qicheng stepped forward to look at the Old Mistress Xiang lying on the bed. It was no different from the last time he came, as he calmly laid there as if he was sleeping.

”I've checked, Old Mistress's body condition is similar to the one last week, but I can't rule out the possibility of him waking up. I'll need to observe him for a few more days, or perhaps there's another reason …” The doctor suddenly paused.

Xiang Qicheng looked up: ”What's the reason?”

”Maybe the Aunt Chen remembered wrongly. Old Mistress Xiang has been unconscious for so many years, and the various functions of your body have all deteriorated. Mr. Xiang, in your heart, you should also know how unlikely it is for Old Mistress to wake up. And, every day, Aunt Chen has to take care of Old Mistress because he still remembers certain times … ” The doctor lowered his voice and looked at Old Mistress Xiang who was lying on the bed with Xiang Qicheng.

A bunch of round and glossy buddhist beads were taken out by the Aunt Chen from his hands and placed on the table. Chu Yu looked at the Old Mistress Xiang's face with a complicated feeling in his heart.

According to the meaning of the doctor's words, she was more inclined to remember wrongly in Aunt Chen, and she also knew how much of a blow that would be to Xiang Qicheng.

Although she was not certain, but the doctor's words had given her a diagnosis, causing her remaining hope in the heart to be extinguished, let alone Xiang Qicheng.

”I understand. Go back first.” Xiang Qicheng's face tensed up, no emotions could be heard from his words.

The moment the doctor left, Aunt Chen followed him in. She looked at the door and muttered to Xiang Qicheng unhappily: ”Young Master, I have served Old Mistress for so many years, you know my memory, I can't possibly remember wrongly.”

She had just been standing outside the door when she heard the doctor's words. Naturally, she was full of grievance and couldn't wait to come in and explain.

”I know, or I wouldn't have come back from Australia in such a hurry.” Facing the Aunt Chen, his expression eased up a lot, and only now did the Aunt Chen feel at ease to busy himself with other matters.

Pushing the window open, the wind blew the curtain up, and the room was still filled with the smell of wormwood.

Chu Yu was originally not used to it, but after smelling it for a long time, he started to get used to it.

”You haven't rested for two days, I'll take a look at the Old Mistress Xiang. Go take a nap.” Chu Yu looked up at Xiang Qicheng, his face filled with unconcealable exhaustion and red veins from his eyes.

”I'll sleep here.” Xiang Qicheng brought over two chairs, one for Chu Yu and the other for the table. After sitting down on the chair, he looked worriedly at Old Mistress Xiang, who was lying on the bed, and laid down on the table. The old table did not fit his physique well.

Closing his eyes, regular breathing could be heard from inside the room. He was truly tired, Chu Yu covered his back with a thin blanket as he thought.

Another gust of wind blew, causing the curtain to fly up. Even the sound of the wind was coming from a forest not far away from the window.

Chu Yu looked at Old Mistress Xiang on the bed, his heart hoping that the old man who had been sleeping for eight years would wake up.

This was a debt that the Chu Family owed him. If it wasn't for Chu Tiantian framing him, the Old Mistress wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
