Next morning , the six men walked into Xi Yuan's private ward to check on him and that was when they realized that the girl was already sleeping there. In fact , she had spent the entire night beside the man's bed. Zhi Al gently lifted the girl up and helped her sleep comfortably on the couch while Mo Zixuan covered her with a blanket.

"Mm... Yuan...", the girl mumbled tiredly in her sleep before she turned around and hugged the extra pillow tightly.

As they looked at the fatigue stricken across their kiddo's face , the six men couldn't help but feel their heart ache for the girl.

"Just how much does she loves him that she doesn't care about her own health ?", Lu Wei sighed helplessly.

"Yeah. By the way , Rogguang , what are his chances of surviving ?", Zhi Xi fixed his gaze on the man lying on the bed.

Su Rogguang called for the doctors on duty and analyzed the reports before he replied ,"There is no progress recorded till now. He isn't simply willing to wake up. Not to mention , he was shot pretty badly before he came here. His immunity is already weak. I cannot say anything currently , you know. His condition is very unpredictable. But one thing is for sure. Xinghe will have to be patient and courageous , both at the same time. And it is getting difficult for me to see her like that...."

"I just feel that we were wrong for trying to keep her away from him. If we observe closely , Yuan is actually a nice guy. He prioritizes our kiddo. He had never forced her for any sort of explanations. In fact , he valued her presence and fulfilled her every wish , no matter how childish it would be.", Zhi Al muttered as he patted the girl's head softly.

Zhi Bo nodded his head in approval ,"I realized that too. It was just that protecting her had become a habit after all these years. We had developed this belief that everyone entering her life intended to hurt her. And after what that Zhou Che did to her , it wasn't easy to allow Yuan into her life."

"I know. But now that we are finally accepting their relationship , this has happened. I just don't understand why these two are destined for so many struggles. Ever since they both were young , they have been facing challenges and pain continuously. Don't they deserve happiness as well ?", Mo Zixuan pinched the space between his brows tiredly.

While the six men were discussing Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan's relationship , few drops of tears silently soaked the blue pillow cover. Rong Xinghe closed her eyes forcibly as her lips shivered involuntarily. The girl tried her best to not turn around and hug her bro Al tightly. She knew that her tears would only make her six tigers more anxious and worried , and that was the last thing she wanted now. How could she stay strong if her six pillars of strength and love were to weaken up ?

Ah ! Only if her love could listen to this approval from her family.... This was something her Yuan had always wanted. But now that she loved him , he couldn't hear her confessions. Why ? Just why was this happening to them ?!

Four months later ,

"I still don't understand this sister-in-law. Why aren't you involving the police and judiciary in the 'Werewolf Crew' incident ? Why are you not interrogating Mr. Xi ?", Xi Fang adjusted the air conditioner's temperature in Xi Yuan's room as he spoke with Rong Xinghe on the phone.

Xi Yuan was brought back to the Elite Saphhire Penthouse after one month of observation in the City hospital. According to many renowned medical majors , it didn't mattered if a person in vegetative state , stayed in hospital or home. Rong Xinghe also thought that change in surroundings could help Xi Yuan , so there wasn't any problem in bringing him back. Most importantly , the penthouse had given home to many of the memories she and Xi Yuan had made together. Naturally , the place was more lively as compared to those cold hospital walls.

Rong Xinghe rolled her eyes when Xi Fang addressed her as 'sister-in-law'. What could she do of these Xi trio ? So stubborn !

"We have discussed this already many times Fang. I am secretly investigating the 'Werewolf Crew' and your father's connection with it. I will deal with this matter in my own personal way. I wasn't too connected to your grandparents. But the 'Werewolf Crew' has harmed Yuan as well. And no one can beat Rong Xinghe when it comes to plotting revenge. Don't worry about it , Fang.", the girl replied indifferently as she signed Xi Corporations' merger documents simultaneously.

After some seconds of silence , Xi Fang cleared his throat and spoke up in an emotionless tone ,"Don't call him my father , sis-in-law..."

"Fang... it could have been a misunderstanding. A mere photo can't prove him guilty. The investigator hired by Yuan is still missing and he hadn't clearly detailed the source of the photo back then. Don't spoil relationships , unless you are sure that it wasn't a misconception.", the girl stopped her actions and took a deep breath.

"The 'Werewolf Crew' thing might be a misinterpretation , but the way they tried to drift me and brother apart was never a misunderstanding. I still remember how they wished for me to replace my brother in the company. Instead of encouraging me to do my best in whatever I liked , they kept on forcing me to outshine brother. Sister-in-law , don't try to talk me out of this. Its fine.", the man smiled weakly as he sat down beside the motionless Xi Yuan and observed him carefully. This had become one of Xi Fang's daily routine now. He took note of every change in his brother's position three times a day , hoping that the man would actually wake up soon.

And to his shock , he felt as if Xi Yuan's index finger moved slightly. Initially , he thought that he was hallucinating and that it was all his wishful thinking. But as soon as he turned around to drink a glass of water , the man behind him gasped and woke up with a jolt.

At first , the man faced quite a difficulty in breathing for sometime. But after adjusting to the surrounding environment , Xi Yuan finally pronounced a word in a weak and hoarse voice ,"Xinghe !"
