C19

A young, tall nurse came out and pulled down her mask. "The patient's condition has stabilized a bit, but she still hasn't recovered her consciousness. If the family wants to accompany her, then we can go in to have a look."

Gao Min covered her face with her hands and shook her head. "I'm not going in.

Ye An Ran slowly walked into the sickroom. Although he knew that the person on the bed was still unconscious and couldn't hear anything, he still subconsciously lowered his pace.

She walked to the side of the sickbed and squatted down to look at Ye Sheng Nian, who had his eyes closed. His body was covered with the threads and instruments, and because of that, the back of his hands was still bruised and swollen.

He was old, Ye An Ran suddenly realised, his eyes had wrinkles, and a lot of white hair on his head. She had thought that her father was still the handsome and handsome figure that she remembered. He would always hold her in his arms with a calm and gentle smile.

And now he was lying in bed, unable even to speak to her.

"Dad."

she whispered, though she knew he couldn't hear her.

"Dad."

Ye An Ran's right hand tightly covered his mouth, but his tears still flowed down his fingers, becoming icy cold even after a moment of scorching.

Wake up, don't leave me, she prayed to herself. She has already lost her mother, but now she is losing her most beloved father. Why did the heavens have to be so cruel to her?

However, Ye Sheng Nian was still lying motionlessly on the sickbed.

She stood up and walked out of the sickroom, gently closing the door, and took out her phone from her bag to call Kai Di.

"I won't be coming to the company for the next few days, so please give me some pointers."

She wanted to stay by her father's side and take care of him as much as she could for the rest of her life.

"I see, Director." Kai Di promised solemnly. She knew that at this moment, what Ye An Ran needed the most was their silent support.

Ye An Ran explained everything regarding the company before hanging up.

For the next few days, she stayed at the hospital to accompany Ye Sheng Nian by his side throughout the day and night.

The duration of the hospital's care was long and slow. Although Ye Family had specially hired a nurse for him, Ye An Ran still didn't want to leave even half a step.

Her time with her father was now at the bottom of the scale, and she didn't want to waste it.

The door creaked open, and Ye Xin Ai appeared in front of the door with a bunch of fresh flowers in her hands. She stared blankly at Ye Sheng Nian who was lying on the bed, and then looked at Ye An Ran.

In just a few days, Ye An Ran's face had become much more haggard, his eyes had turned black, and his body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"What are you doing?" Seeing her appear, Ye An Ran raised his eyes, got up and tucked Ye Sheng Nian in, "Come in and sit."

She pulled back her arms, tightly hugged the flowers, and slowly walked to the sickbed to look down at Ye Sheng Nian. After a while, she asked: "He really doesn't have much time left to live?"

As far as Ye Xin Ai was concerned, she didn't have much feelings for him. Since she was born, she had sensed something from her parents subtle interactions. She found it hard to get her father's care no matter how nice she was.

Although he didn't owe her physically, he still felt that something was missing.

"Be more respectful," Ye An Ran said as he poured her a cup of water, "He's your father."

Ye Xin Ai could not help but sneer, "So what? Do you still remember when you were young, you scored a hundred in the Math exam, and he took you to play in an amusement park. But that day was the day that I acted on stage, so he promised that he would come to see you, but he forgot."

Ye Sheng Nian favored Ye An Ran at every turn and gave all his love to her, but he forgot that he had two daughters.

Although she said it in a very casual manner, the actions of her hands still revealed the nervousness in her heart.

"Xin Ai, do you think that's interesting to talk about?" Ye An Ran raised his head, his gaze as calm as the calm surface of a lake.

Ye Xin Ai shrugged her shoulders indifferently, placed the flowers on the bed and turned towards the door.

When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and said: "Ye An Ran, do you know, I especially hate you, because you are better than me in everything, better than me in everything.

After saying that, Ye Xin Ai stood there and did not make another sound, but Ye An Ran knew that she was crying.

Ye An Ran suddenly realised that at a place where he could not see it, Ye Xin Ai had a soft and exquisite side to him.

She felt her eyes ache a little as she silently walked behind Xin Ai and hugged her shoulders while softly saying: "I'm sorry."

She didn't know why she had to apologize, but at that moment, it was as if the Ye Xin Ai in front of her had turned into that stubborn little girl who didn't know how to act coquettishly.

"Who cares about your apology!" Ye Xin Ai shouted fiercely, but she did not push her away. Her shoulders twitched a little, as though she was trying her best to suppress her sobs.

Time seemed to stand still. The confrontation before had been fierce and aggressive, but now it was all over. They knew that they understood and forgave each other in the depths of their hearts.

Ye Xin Ai wiped away the tears on her face, trying her best to hide the sobs in her voice: "Take good care of him, I'm going."

After saying that, her body paused for a moment before she left the ward.

The moment Xin Ai stepped out of the room, the tears in her eyes flowed down her face. She reached out to wipe them away, but found that she could not wipe them all clean.

She just stood there silently, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't cry."

A weak voice suddenly sounded.

"Ye An Ran, don't cry."

She was stunned for a long time before she suddenly turned around and looked at the bed.

Ye Sheng Nian opened his eyes slightly. His eyes were still muddled and muddled, but he clearly saw that his consciousness had cleared up a little.

"Dad!" His voice was filled with pleasant surprise. Ye An Ran walked quickly to the bedside and grabbed onto his slightly cold hands. He didn't know where his eyes were looking, and only felt at ease after looking up and down to make sure that he was alright.

Ye Sheng Nian coughed with great effort, as if he was finding it difficult to even wipe her tears. He could only shake her hand and say: "Don't cry, Ye An Ran."

Seeing him cough, Ye An Ran suddenly realised, his father's body was still weak, and he quickly said: "Dad, you stay here, I'll call the doctor over to take a look."

As he spoke, he reached out to press the button that he needed to call the nurse at the head of the bed.

But before he could even touch the button, Ye Sheng Nian had already raised his hand and stopped him.

"Don't yell," Ye Sheng Nian said with some difficulty, but his eyes still stared straight at her, "I have something to tell you, come sit beside me."

Although she was perplexed, but after hesitating for a moment, she still did as she was instructed and pulled the chair to the head of the bed, sitting down safely.

Ye Sheng Nian looked at her intently, his gaze seemed to be tracing her outline little by little, warm and profound.

He suddenly laughed, his eyes squinted into slits, and said, "Beautiful. You look like her."
