The next moment, Xiyi's figure appeared at the door.
When Ziyue saw Xiyi, she thought an angel had appeared. "Doctor Mo!"
"Sir, haven't you gotten up yet?" Muchen was still lying on the bed when Xiyi warily questioned.
"No, He…I can't wake him up," Ziyue said in a panic. Her eyes were red from crying.
"What?"
When Xiyi heard this, he scowled. Then, he hurried to the bed after dropping the items he was holding.
"Sir?" He first called out tentatively and lifted his eyelids. Seeing that Muchen was unresponsive, his expression turned grave.
"Doctor Mo, what's wrong with Muchen?" She expected Xiyi to give her an answer, but she was also afraid of hearing something she didn't want to hear.
"It looks like he's just sleeping. Let me check him first." Xiyi began to conduct a body examination to find a root cause.
Muchen's face looked much younger than yesterday, which showed that the antidote he developed was effective, but... why couldn't he wake up?
Ziyue was stressed, yet she still remembered that Zixi required her care.
She calmed down and squatted in front of Zixi. "Zixi, let's go eat first, shall we?"
Zixi glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the bed. The child pointed his finger, with a serious and puzzled expression on his small face: "Dad..."
Ziyue understood that Zixi was asking for him. Why didn't dad get up for dinner?
"Father is just sleepy, let him sleep for a while, okay? Let's eat first, and he will join us when he gets enough rest." Ziyue touched Zixi's face and softly coaxed him.
After hearing her words, Zixi hesitated for a moment. He seemed to understand what Ziyue meant, so he nodded obediently.
Ziyue took Zixi to the dining room, and took care of him. They had breakfast before going to the ward.
Muchen hadn't woken up. Ziyue was rather worried, so she didn't have the appetite to eat.
She gave Zixi a toy and let him play with it, then walked to the doctor to ask, "How is he?"
Xiyi frowned, "There is nothing wrong with his body, and he is not in a coma. The test results indicate that he just... fell asleep."
He spoke the words hesitontly os if he didn't trust the informotion he wos holding. How is it possible thot Muchen could merely doze off?
"Then... when will he...woke up?" Ziyue turned o shode poler from the rother upsetting news.
It is helpful to know thot Muchen is in good heolth. However, the foct thot he hos since slept off ond shows no sign of woking up is disconcerting.
The diognosis wos rother bizorre.
How could it be possible for o person to be osleep but not hove the obility to woke up?
"I'm sorry, thot's oll I could find ot the moment. There must be something wrong with the ontidote for the K1LU73 virus," soid the doctor grovely. "when I wos doing experiments on onimols, this didn't hoppen."
He took o deep breoth ond rubbed the center of his brows tightly. Xiyi blomed himself for the mon's condition.
"Animols ond people ore not the some. Despite how much you might wish it were for science, you've done your best to try though. In oddition, Muchen hos foith in you, ond his vision will be cleor. Becouse of how much he trusts in you, you must hove foith in his judgment thot he will recover."
Although she tried to comfort Xiyi, she kept looking ot Muchen. She wosn't sure if the finol stotement wos meont to console Xiyi or herself.
The doctor turned to look ot Ziyue ond soid solemnly, "Thonk you, modom."
He lobored ossiduously over the following three doys to creote the cure, doing innumeroble tests ond studies. He wos confident ond pleosed with the outcome when the ontidote wos creoted.
However, Muchen's current situotion still mode him blome himself o little. In short, he felt thot he wos olso responsible for Muchen's current situotion.
And whot Ziyue soid reolly comforted him.
Ziyue could probobly guess some of his thoughts. She poused ond soid, "Doctor Mo, you don't hove to do this."
"I don't know when he will woke up. This ontidote could work."
"I see."
The composure on Ziyue's foce vonished os soon os Xiyi left.
She only oppeored to be colm in front of Xiyi, but if she hodn't given him thot kind of comfort, his self-confidence would hove been devostoted, which would hove hod o deep impoct on him.
He spoke the words hesitantly as if he didn't trust the information he was holding. How is it possible that Muchen could merely doze off?
"Then... when will he...wake up?" Ziyue turned a shade paler from the rather upsetting news.
It is helpful to know that Muchen is in good health. However, the fact that he has since slept off and shows no sign of waking up is disconcerting.
The diagnosis was rather bizarre.
How could it be possible for a person to be asleep but not have the ability to wake up?
"I'm sorry, that's all I could find at the moment. There must be something wrong with the antidote for the K1LU73 virus," said the doctor gravely. "when I was doing experiments on animals, this didn't happen."
He took a deep breath and rubbed the center of his brows tightly. Xiyi blamed himself for the man's condition.
"Animals and people are not the same. Despite how much you might wish it were for science, you've done your best to try though. In addition, Muchen has faith in you, and his vision will be clear. Because of how much he trusts in you, you must have faith in his judgment that he will recover."
Although she tried to comfort Xiyi, she kept looking at Muchen. She wasn't sure if the final statement was meant to console Xiyi or herself.
The doctor turned to look at Ziyue and said solemnly, "Thank you, madam."
He labored assiduously over the following three days to create the cure, doing innumerable tests and studies. He was confident and pleased with the outcome when the antidote was created.
However, Muchen's current situation still made him blame himself a little. In short, he felt that he was also responsible for Muchen's current situation.
And what Ziyue said really comforted him.
Ziyue could probably guess some of his thoughts. She paused and said, "Doctor Mo, you don't have to do this."
"I don't know when he will wake up. This antidote could work."
"I see."
The composure on Ziyue's face vanished as soon as Xiyi left.
She only appeared to be calm in front of Xiyi, but if she hadn't given him that kind of comfort, his self-confidence would have been devastated, which would have had a deep impact on him.
In truth, Dr. Mo was too exhausted to care for Qin Mushen or to create any antidote, as he scarcely got any rest.
But because it was Muchen, he did it for her.
"It's all my fault." Ziyue sat by the bed. He held Muchen's hand tightly.
However, she still remembered that Zixi was here, so she held back her tears.
She wept silently and wiped them away with her sleeve.
In the next few days, Ziyue stayed by Muchen's side day and night. She had no time to look after Zixi, so she asked Jingshu to pick him up.
She had to take care of Muchen on the one hand, and if she had to take care of Zixi, she would definitely not be able to take care of her.
Ziyue stayed by Muchen's side, not daring to sleep or leave. She feared that he might be roused abruptly before taking his final breath.
Every day, she guards Muchen's infusion, wipes his body, and sometimes talks to him in a rambling manner. She lies down in front of the hospital bed and rests her eyes for a bit since she would be too exhausted to continue.
Xiyi had just replaced Muchen's infusion bottle on this particular day and walked out. Ziyue placed his hand on Muchen's back because she was concerned that he might be cold.
"You need to get up right away. Five days have passed. Zixi and I haven't spoken in five days. I kind of miss him. Don't you?"
After chatting for a time, Ziyue started to feel a bit worn out. She lifted her head and stared at the full IV back.
"I'm exhausted," she whispered. "I'm going to sleep for a while. If you come over, please wake me up." The woman instructed. Ziyue then kissed Muchen's sleeping figure.
Although Muchen's infusion bottle was still full, she was afraid to oversleep. She set the alarm and then fell asleep beside the bed.
Ziyue couldn't recall how long she slept. When she woke up, she felt a soft mass under her body.
She sat up abruptly and found herself on the bed.
