Chapter 1170

It was quiet all around . Ou Ming could only hear the consist sound of his heartbeat . Sometime later, the surrounding cacophony returned . His brows knitted together . It was as if the light reflected off the magnifying glass caused pain to his eyes .

“There has been no improvement . It’s uncertain when he will recover . But, this situation is not common . It’s possible that he may recover over the course of a few days . It’s also possible that he may never recover . Your family will require someone to be specially trained to take care of him . “

Ou Ming didn’t hear what else was said after that . He fell unconscious . When he awoke again, he was still surrounded by darkness .

Beep…

Beep…

Beep…

The sound from the heart-monitoring machine was steady and consistent . Ou Ming suddenly felt his heart skip a beat . The line on the display reflected an interruption before resuming its previous rhythm .

…

Yu Lili was awakened by the doorbell . She had no idea what time she had finally fallen asleep the night before . She had forgot to charge her phone, so it was already switched off when she checked it .

She answered the door . It was Old Mrs . Shen and Shen Zhilie . Yu Lili had expected them to come .

After letting them in, she went to take a shower and wash up . When she faced the mirror in her bathroom, she realized that her eyes had swollen to the size of walnuts . Her eyes were not presentable at all .

She hastily applied some concealer . Perhaps it was a placebo effect, or perhaps her mood had taken a turn for the better, but she did look a little more presentable .

When she re-entered the room, Shen Zhilie and Old Mrs . Shen acted as if they hadn’t noticed anything to begin with . The old lady said, “Lili, there are a few more days to go before the public holidays are over, aren’t there? Would you like to come away with Grandma for a few days?”

Come away with Grandma for a few days? Yu Lili felt that it was a little inappropriate, but seeing the hopefulness in the old lady’s eyes swayed her . “Where to?”

“How about Fujian? I heard there are many fun things to do in Fujian,” Old Mrs . Shen Said . “It’s beautiful there, and there are many beauties there as well . Let’s have Zhilie drive us there from here . After all, Kingstown and Fujian are close to each other . We can have a good chat while riding in the car . We can even choose a scenic spot to have a picnic . What do you think?”

Old Mrs . Shen’s eyes were full of anticipation as she continued . “I’ve done some research . It’ll only take a couple of hours to get from Kingstown to Xiamen, and the route is scenic . “

Yu Lili saw the anticipation in the old lady’s eyes, but still shook her head . “Nah, Grandma . I think I’ll pass . You and Shen Zhilie can go ahead without me . I’m not in a very good mood and don’t feel like going out . “

Old Mrs . Shen refused to give up . “Lili, it’s precisely because you’re in a bad mood that you should go out and cheer up . You need to let loose a little . Am I right?”

“Yes!” Shen Zhilie interjected immediately with a serious face . “Let’s go together! It’s so rare for Grandma to get out of the house . In the past, no matter how I tried to get her out, she’d insist on staying home . This is my first time out with Grandma, too . Let’s go together, shall we?”

Shen Zhilie’s eyes carried all the sincerity and earnestness needed to look into a person’s heart .

Regardless, Yu Lili still felt uncomfortable and shook her head . “Nah, Shen Zhilie, you go ahead with Grandma . I was just in Paris recently and spent all my time playing . I haven’t been working on my drafts . Now, I need to work on my drawing assignments . You guys go ahead without me . “

No matter how Old Mrs . Shen or Shen Zhilie tried to convince her, Yu Lili wouldn’t budge . She was indeed in a bad mood . She had never expected that within the short span of two days, her life would go through such a major upheaval .
