"I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time..." Nangong Quan said weakly.
"Did you know that you were asleep for 8 days? I almost thought that you were abandoning Little Eggshell and I..." Su Youran cried hysterically as she lay on Nangong Quan's chest. "Do you know how hard it was for me to pull through these 8 days?!"
Nangong Quan had just woken up, so his mind was naturally still in a blur, but he could tell how scared and worried Su Youran had been during this time
"S-sorry for putting you through such a difficult experience."
Tears clung to Su Youran's face as she sat up and ran her hand across Nangong Quan's cheek, "What would Little Eggshell and I do without you? Promise to never scare us like that again, OK?"
Nangong Quan wanted to stretch out his hand and wipe away the tears on Su Youran's face, but he had no strength to move.
The couple ended up hugging each other until the doctor finally arrived and knocked on the door some time later.
"Mr. Nangong is finally awake."
Su Youran stood up and wiped away her tears as she nodded her head, "Yes, doctor. Please check if there are any side effects."
"Don't worry, Dr. Lu's surgery was performed perfectly. There will be no side effects," the doctor replied. "By the way, I've already asked someone to check the surveillance cameras for you and we found a few suspicious individuals. From now on, you simply need to avoid them."
"Thank you, doctor."
"If you must thank someone, then thank President Mo," the doctor said before he turned and left the room. He then closed the door tightly behind him. After he left, Su Youran once again lay on Nangong Quan's chest.
"Do you still remember what happened before you fell unconscious?"
Nangong Quan thought for a second and shook his head, "I was struck from behind and didn't see the attacker properly."
"I'm sure you know who the culprit is. As soon as you fell into a coma, Grandfather immediately took control of Springfall. I even heard that he delayed the release of 'Parasite'. But, that's not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is for you to recuperate."
"Do you know who saved you this time? It was the Mo Family!" Su Youran said as she held Nangong Quan's hand. "The Mo Family were extremely concerned about you during this time. It was all thanks to their help that you were saved."
"Really?"
"Quan...Tangning suggested that you put on an act and pretend that you are still in a coma to ensure your safety. What do you think?"
Nangong Quan thought for a second before he instructed, "Call my assistant over. I want to hold a board meeting..."
"But, if you do that, Grandfather will know that you're awake..."
"Don't be afraid. Just do as I say," Nangong Quan ordered. If the old man could go to such extremes, who was to say what other evil plans he had hatching?
Su Youran placed a kiss on the back of Nangong Quan's hand and nodded her head, "I understand. I'll immediately make arrangements."
...
Su Youran took this opportunity to notify Tangning and Mo Ting that Nangong Quan was awake. Not only did she want to thank them, she also wanted to make sure that their efforts didn't go to waste. So, she was going to be forever grateful towards the couple for saving her husband's life.
After Tangning heard that Nangong Quan was awake, she felt like a load had been lifted off her shoulders because they didn't need to feel so guilty anymore.
But, the most important thing was, Elder Nangong's plan did not succeed.
"Now that Nangong Quan's awake, what do you think he'll do?" Tangning asked her husband.
