Chapter 203 Let him go
Chi Ruiche gradually regained consciousness, but his body was extremely exhausted, and all his strength had been drained.
But the surroundings became clearer, a gentle breeze blew by, and a faint fragrance filled the air; everything felt so real.
Wen Lan gripped his hand nervously. "You're awake? How are you feeling?"
Chi Ruiche looked around but didn't see Jiang Yi. "Where's Xiao Yi?"
The voice was somewhat soft and weak, carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"The doctor said you need to rest well since you just woke up." Wen Lan didn't look at him and poured herself some water.
"Have some water. I'll have them make some soup and send it over later."
Chi Ruiche noticed Wen Lan's evasive expression. His head was buzzing, and his body felt weak and powerless. He used all his strength to sit up.
Wen Lan quickly pressed him down: "You're still on an IV drip, you can't move around."
“I need her.”
Chi Ruiche struggled to get up, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, and roared in a low voice.
"Mom, if you can't give your blessing, please don't interfere in my relationship with Jiang Yi. It's just that I can't bear to let her go."
Chi Ruiche wasn't sure what Wen Lan and Jiang Yi had talked about. He had been unconscious for so long; she would be scared to be alone.
"Xiao Che, are you really so desperate for Jiang Yi? Are you willing to abandon the company you've worked so hard to build, and even abandon your parents, for Jiang Yi?"
Wen Lan frowned, her expression serious.
Chi Ruiche's face was as pale as paper, but his gaze was firm as he met her eyes.
"Mom, I never thought of abandoning you, but Jiang Yi is someone I would rather give up my life for."
Wen Lan saw an expression on Chi Ruiche's face that she had never seen before. His eyes sparkled with the morning light, containing boundless strength and determination—a light that emanated from the depths of his heart.
Only then did she truly understand her son. "I understand. Take good care of yourself and recover."
Can you tell me now?
Chi Ruiche's tone softened, and he pressed his body close to hers.
“Xiao Yi has been taking care of you during the month you were in a coma. She also brings you jasmine by your bedside every day. She must have been busy today and hasn’t come yet.”
Wen Lan answered truthfully that she had seen everything Jiang Yi had done during this time, and she firmly believed from beginning to end that Chi Ruiche would wake up.
"Give me the phone, I want to hear her voice and tell her not to come today, to get some rest."
Chi Ruiche's expression softened when he mentioned Jiang Yi. The little girl must have been quite frightened this time, so he must comfort her properly.
"Abu has already informed them that Jiang Yang and the others know."
Wen Lan quickly snatched the phone from the side, lowered her voice, and spoke, her heart pounding again.
"Mom, what are you hiding from me?"
Chi Ruiche's eyes met with deep doubt.
"Xiaoyi..."
As the sun sets in the west, scattered sunlight streams into the room through the windows, filling the slightly stuffy space with the fragrance of flowers.
Jiang Yi woke up in her hospital bed to a world of white. She felt as if her abdomen was being torn apart, and the pain was excruciating.
"Xiao Yi, you're awake? How are you feeling?"
Jiang Yang, Jiang Chen, and Abu leaned in, their faces beaming with undisguised elation.
"how are you feeling?"
Jiang Yi felt her hand being enveloped in warmth. She turned her head and met Chi Ruiche's gaze, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Chi Ruiche had disheveled hair and a haggard face, but when she met his eyes, they were filled with affection and focus.
"You're afraid of him."
Images flashed through Jiang Yi's mind: Chi Ruiche was covered in blood, surrounded by splattered blood, his body convulsing as if being swallowed by pain, and the stench of blood filled the room.
Images flashed through Jiang Yi's mind as Zheng Sicheng's hypnosis took effect, with unfamiliar voices constantly reminding her.
"You're afraid of him."
"You're afraid of him."
Jiang Yi trembled uncontrollably, his hand holding hers was stained red with blood, and his body felt as if it were imprisoned, unable to pull away.
Suddenly, Jiang Yi screamed loudly, her voice shrill. The intense fear made her eyes glaze over and look helpless. Only one thought remained in her mind: "Leave him."
"Let him go, let him go."
Chi Ruiche gripped the wheelchair tighter, not understanding, and tried to get up but slumped back into his wheelchair.
"Yi-yi, where does it hurt?"
"Let him go! Where is Second Brother?"
Jiang started speaking incoherently, her eyes darting around as she searched for someone who would put her at ease.
"Yiyi, don't be afraid, I'm back."
Chi Ruiche's eyes were slightly red. He suppressed his heartache and called out to her in a gentle voice, trying to soothe her emotions.
"Let him go, and keep him away from me."
Jiang Yi sensed his gaze, suppressed her inner fear, and glanced at him with indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion.
Chi Ruiche's mind went blank. He slowly released her hand, and his heartbeat stopped the moment he saw her gaze.
"Xiao Yi, who is he? Do you remember him?"
