Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 572

Shen Qianan stayed in the intensive care unit for two days before waking up. That was not what Huo Ling had expected. Fortunately, Shen Qianan did not have any adverse reactions when she woke up, but she didn’t seem to want to talk much. Huo Ling had done a checkup for Shen Qianan during the few hours she was there.

She had also administered several shots to relieve the patient’s pain. Shen Qianan was like a puppet on strings. She refused to speak, and wouldn’t even cry out when it hurt.

Out of boredom, Huo Ling stared at Shen Qianan’s face, which was identical to Shi Nuan’s, and said, “Um, you don’t have to worry. Once you get better, I’ll remove the scars on your face and body. You have to trust me. After all, I came from a family with medical background… Ms. Qianan, are you mute? Why aren’t you talking?”

Huo Ling had been observing Shen Qianan for several hours. She perceived Shen Qianan to be even duller than people who are mute. At least the mute would make noises when they got excited or when they wanted to talk, but Shen Qianan stayed completely silent. Only the sounds of her breathing were proof that she was still alive.

Huo Ling was a little discouraged. Feeling resigned, she say by the bed as she looked at Shen Qianan. “Hey, I may not be able to eliminate the virus in your body completely, but I can try my best. Your sister…” Huo Ling said to herself. She had assumed that Shen Qianan would ignore her. Yet, when she brought up Shi Nuan’s name, Shen Qianan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly turned around.

Her hollow eyes fell on Huo Ling and asked, “How’s Nuan?”

Perhaps it was because she had not spoken for so long, Shen Qianan’s throat had gone dry, and her voice raspy. Upon hearing that, Huo Ling frowned and quickly got up to pour Shen Qianan a glass of water. “Have some water. Then, I’ll tell you about Ms.

Nuan!”

Shen Qianan nodded and replied, “Please help me get up!”

Huo Ling helped Shen Qianan up resignedly and fed her some water. “I may have reconnected your hand, but it won’t be as functional as before. It would be best if you don’t carry heavy objects,” muttered Huo Ling as she helped Shen Qianan with the water.

Shen Qianan’s eyes dimmed when she heard that, but she quickly suppressed her emotions. She finished the water in a serious manner and smiled faintly. “It’s a blessing to be alive. I won’t ask for much. Oh, you mentioned Nuan just now. How is she? The virus inside her…”

Shen Qianan had struggled when she found out that Shi Nuan was her biological sister. Some time later, she thought, Shi Nuan didn’t do anything wrong. She’s abandoned by our parents, just like me. Both of us have led different lives, but those experiences were terrible.

After some deliberation, Shen Qianan had long accepted their fate.

For some reason, Shen Qianan kept thinking and dreaming about Shi Nuan every night when she had been locked up by Fu Sijue.

When she was inside the cell that Ying had locked her in, she would hear Shi Nuan calling her name whenever she felt groggy. Her sister was begging her to come home soon.

Shen Qianan was concerned about Shi Nuan. She had even developed an emotional attachment to her.

She got upset whenever she recalled that Shi Nuan was pregnant, but the virus was still inside her.

“Don’t worry! You two are sisters. You’re concerned about her, and she’s just as concerned about you!” Huo Ling did not truly understand the bond between sisters because she was still young.

She grew up in a different environment from theirs. There were many members in her household, but basically she was not close to anyone.

Huo Ling was closest to her brother. They had a good relationship, but Huo Shenxing was a man, so his concern and care for her were different from those of women. That was why Huo Ling had difficulty understanding their sisterly bond.

However, she could feel that Shi Nuan and Shen Qianan sincerely cared for one another. “On most nights since you went missing, Ms. Nuan couldn’t sleep. She would have nightmares. Her condition fluctuated from time to time. I can only relieve her pain temporarily. You’re just like her. When you woke up, the first thing you asked was about her.”

“Then, how’s Nuan doing now?” Shen Qianan looked a Huo Ling worriedly when she heard that. “Nuan is doing fine, right?”

“She’s doing well. No worries! If you can get better soon and let her see you, she will definitely be delighted,” replied Huo Ling as she took out a glass bottle from her bag. “You’ll be feeling itchy or pain for some time. I have some sweets here that are made from traditional medicine. Take one whenever you don’t feel well,” she added. Huo Ling’s innocent face had a seriousness and sober expression that did not match her age.

Hearing that, Shen Qianan looked at her in surprise, but she accepted the bottle of pills that Huo Ling handed her. Shen Qianan took one sweet out and put it in her mouth. “It’s sweet?” she said.

“That’s right.” Huo Ling smiled, her eyes shining like stars. “I don’t like bitter things, so most of the medicine I make is sweet, just like candy.”

Her eyes curved into crescents when she smiled. It was pretty and comforting. Shen Qianan, affected by Huo Ling’s mood, finally laughed.

“Phew!” Huo Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that. She fanned her face with her hands and said, “You’re finally laughing. I’m starting to run out of ideas!” said Huo Ling as she pouted.
