Chapter 38 Her husband finally woke up!
Chapter 38 Her husband finally woke up!
In the ward, Jiang Jianping lay quietly on the bed. After Shen Yu's acupuncture treatment, his complexion had improved a lot, and all his physical indicators had returned to normal.
He simply kept his eyes closed, trapped in a six-year-long slumber, showing no sign of waking up.
Director Li of the Department of Neurology at the First Municipal Hospital was leading the hospital's expert team on a routine ward round when he saw Shen Yu and his group enter. He immediately greeted them respectfully, his attitude full of admiration.
"Mr. Shen, you've arrived."
When Jiang Jianping was on the verge of death, all the experts in the hospital were helpless. It was Shen Yu who pulled him back from the brink of death with just a few needles.
From that day on, all the doctors at the First Municipal Hospital regarded Shen Yu as a god-like figure.
Shen Yu nodded, walked straight to the bedside, and took out the jade bottle.
The moment the jade bottle was opened, a clear and rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire ward. Just one whiff of it made one feel refreshed and invigorated.
Director Li and the group of experts stared wide-eyed at the luminous white pill, even their breathing became soft.
Even before this, Shen Yu had already told them that he would refine a pill to awaken Jiang Jianping from his vegetative state.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yu had saved Jiang Jianping from the brink of death with just a single silver needle, restoring him to normal, he would have been fine.
He even suspected that Shen Yu had gone mad, otherwise how could he possibly say that a single pill could awaken Jiang Jianping?
Although they had mentally prepared themselves countless times, Shen Yu was certain that if he dared to say it, he would do it and wouldn't lie to them.
But when they actually saw Shen Yu take out the pills, they were still incredibly shocked and incredulous.
They simply couldn't imagine how such a small pill could wake up a person who had been in a vegetative state for six years.
Amidst the incredulous gazes of Director Li and the expectant looks of Jiang Xinlan and the others, Shen Yu carefully pried open Jiang Jianping's mouth, dissolved the pill in warm water, and fed it to him little by little.
The pill entered his throat and instantly transformed into warm medicinal power, spreading along his esophagus to his limbs and bones, repairing Jiang Jianping's damaged body that had been dormant for six years and awakening his dormant consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yu took out silver needles, and with a slight movement of spiritual energy at his fingertips, several silver needles were precisely inserted into major acupoints such as Baihui, Tanzhong, and Yongquan on Jiang Jianping's body.
The Nine-Turn Soul-Locking Needle, combined with the medicinal power of the pill, instantly locked his three souls and seven spirits, which had been scattered for six years, back into his physical body.
Throughout the entire process, everyone held their breath, staring intently at Jiang Jianping on the hospital bed, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Just when Director Li and his team thought they had failed, the previously calm brain waves on the electrocardiogram monitor suddenly became incredibly active!
All the previously stable values are now visibly converging towards the healthiest range.
Just three minutes later, Jiang Jianping's eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly.
"It moved! Grandpa's eyes moved!"
Gui Gui was the first to shout, her little face full of excitement.
Niannian clung to the edge of the bed, her little voice calling out repeatedly:
"Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up!"
Su Hui instantly rushed to the bedside, tightly gripping Jiang Jianping's hand, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling uncontrollably:
"Old Jiang? Old Jiang, can you hear me? Wake up! Xinlan, the children, and I are all waiting for you!"
"Dad!" Jiang Xinlan's eyes also reddened, and she tightly grasped her father's other hand.
"Dad, wake up! We're all waiting for you to come home!"
Amidst the calls of his family, Jiang Jianping's eyelashes trembled more and more violently, and finally, he slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze, initially filled with confusion, gradually cleared. He turned his eyes to look at his wife and daughter, who were weeping uncontrollably beside the bed.
Looking at the two little dumplings staring at him with their big, round eyes, he moved his lips slightly and uttered a weak sound:
"Huihui...Xinlan..."
Upon hearing this, Su Hui instantly broke down and collapsed onto the edge of the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
She and Jiang Jianping were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. But ever since Jiang Jianping got into trouble, her heart has been mostly broken.
If it weren't for her daughter and grandchildren, who still needed her, she would have wanted to go with Jiang Jianping.
For the past six years, she has been thinking about Jiang Jianping every moment, hoping that he will wake up.
Fortunately, after six years of waiting and suffering, the result has finally come.
Her husband finally woke up!
Jiang Xinlan also cried, tears streaming down her face, yet she couldn't help but laugh.
She had been waiting for this day for six whole years.
Fortunately, fate was on her side. Not only did Shen Yu return to her side, but he also helped cure her father.
That's great, that's really great!
Jiang Jianping's eyes instantly reddened. Looking at his wife and daughter beside him, his eyes were filled with guilt and heartache: "I'm sorry... for making you... suffer for so many years..."
During the six years he was in a coma, he could hear sounds from the outside world intermittently. He knew that his wife and daughter had emptied their savings and suffered countless grievances in order to treat his illness.
"It's not bitter! Not at all!" Su Hui wiped away her tears and said with a smile.
"It's good that you're awake! Our family is finally reunited!"
Niannian and Guigui looked at their grandfather who had woken up, clapped their little hands happily, and called out softly:
"Grandpa! Grandpa's awake!"
Jiang Jianping stared at the two exquisitely beautiful children for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. He weakly raised his hand, wanting to pat the children's heads.
Niannian immediately placed her little hand in her grandfather's palm and said softly, "Grandpa, I am Niannian, and he is Guigui."
"Okay, good children... good children... Grandpa's alright now. When Grandpa's better, I'll take you horseback riding, okay?"
Jiang Jianping looked at his two well-behaved and sensible children with eyes full of love.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ward, Director Li and a group of experts were completely dumbfounded.
They stared intently at the perfectly healthy readings on the electrocardiogram monitor, and then at Jiang Jianping, who had not only woken up but could also speak normally, and were so excited that their whole bodies trembled.
There are almost no clinical precedents of spontaneous awakening after six years of continuous vegetative state.
Not to mention someone like Jiang Jianping, who woke up in just a few minutes after using only one pill and a few acupuncture needles, and all his physical indicators returned to the level of a healthy person, without any aftereffects!
This is simply a miracle!
"My God...she's really awake...she's actually awake..."
A young doctor muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Six years! Six whole years in a vegetative state! And then he just woke up?!"
"Mr. Shen's medical skills are beyond our comprehension! This is simply defying fate!"
"That's amazing! I've never seen anything so incredible in my entire life!"
The experts were in an uproar, their eyes filled with extreme awe and worship as they looked at Shen Yu, wishing they could kneel down and become his disciples on the spot.
Director Li strode up to Shen Yu, bowed deeply, his voice trembling:
"Mr. Shen! You are truly a miracle doctor! In my more than forty years of medical practice, I have never seen such a miracle! I am convinced! Utterly convinced!"
All the nurses in the ward gathered at the door, looking at Jiang Jianping who had woken up, pointing at Shen Yu with admiration and amazement in their eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Jianping took a while to catch his breath before his gaze swept across the ward and finally landed on Shen Yu, who was standing by the bed.
From the reactions of Director Li and the others, he could tell that he was able to wake up this time thanks to Shen Yu.
Upon hearing Shen Yu's name, Jiang Jianping's memories from before he fell into a coma instantly flooded back.
Six years ago, he learned that his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, but the child's father, Shen Yu, had disappeared without a trace, and he was so angry that he trembled all over.
She was filled with boundless anger and resentment towards this man, feeling that he was an irresponsible bastard who had let her daughter down.
Unexpectedly, six years later, it was Shen Yu who pulled him out of his six-year slumber.
For a moment, Jiang Jianping felt incredibly conflicted.
Su Hui noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Jianping. As someone who had been through similar experiences, she understood his emotions very well.
So she quickly leaned close to his ear and whispered about all the things Shen Yu had done for them after he came back.
"...Shen Yu is a good kid...Xinlan also has feelings for him. Let bygones be bygones. If it weren't for him, you might not be able to see us again..."
After listening to Su Hui's story, Jiang Jianping's dissatisfaction and resentment towards Shen Yu gradually dissipated.
He looked at his daughter and two grandchildren, and seeing how naturally they interacted with Shen Yu, as well as the happy smile on his daughter's face, his heart softened.
Su Hui is right.
Let bygones be bygones. No one is perfect, and Shen Yu's disappearance wasn't intentional.
Now that he's back, and he's wholeheartedly devoted to Xinlan and the two children, even going to great lengths to save her, that's enough to show his sincerity.
As long as he and his daughter live a good life together in the future, everything will be fine.
As parents, don't we all hope that our children can live happy and fulfilling lives?
Thinking this, Jiang Jianping beckoned to Shen Yu and said weakly, "Little Shen, come here."
Shen Yu stepped forward and respectfully spoke:
"Uncle, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
"Good, very good." Jiang Jianping looked at him, and now that he had let go of his resentment, his gaze towards Shen Yu was filled with nothing but gratitude and admiration.
"Xiao Shen, thank you. Thank you for saving my life, and thank you even more for protecting Xinlan and the children, and for bearing so much for this family."
"Uncle, you don't need to be so polite with me," Shen Yu said earnestly.
"Xinlan is the person I want to protect for the rest of my life, the child is my own flesh and blood, and you are my father-in-law. It is only right that I do these things."
Jiang Jianping smiled, nodded heavily, looked at Jiang Xinlan beside him, then at Shen Yu, and said solemnly,
"I misunderstood you before, and it was my fault. Now I'm putting it this way: I agree to you and Xinlan being together. From now on, you two should live a good life together."
Jiang Xinlan looked at her father's approving gaze, then at Shen Yu beside her, and tears welled up in her eyes again, but she smiled with immense happiness.
She gripped Shen Yu's hand tightly and whispered to her father:
"Dad, Shen Yu and I have already discussed it. Once you're feeling better, we'll get married. I want to give him a proper status and the children a complete family."
"Great! Great!" Jiang Jianping said twice, smiling with immense satisfaction.
"It should have been done a long time ago! I'll personally take care of it for you after I'm discharged from the hospital!"
Su Hui smiled as she wiped away her tears, nodding repeatedly:
"Great! This is wonderful! Our family will finally be whole again!"
The two little ones were jumping and shouting:
"Mom and Dad are getting married! We're going to have a new home!"
For a moment, the ward was filled with laughter and joy, warm and happy.
