Chu Nan's choked up.1

"Uncle Chu Nan,"Qin Yu called out softly.

She was very touched.

She could have told Chu Nan that her marriage with Ning Chen was just a farce. For they were taking advantage of the other. When the time was right, she would leave immediately. She could've ask Chu Nan to compensate Ning Chen.

She couldn't say it now.

Her feelings for Ning Chen had already changed over the past few months. Ning Chen held an important place in her heart.

Especially now when the reason Ning Chen remained on the operating table was her. She no longer had the intention to leave Ning Chen.

"Uncle, the wedding is just a formality. My happiness in life has nothing to do with the existence of a grand wedding, don't you think?"

Chu Nanji nodded unwillingly. "That being said, the wedding represents the blessings of your in-laws. I will get back to Shi Yong for marrying you off so quietly. The Ning family also owes us a favor! When Ning Chen is better, I will definitely talk to him. He better be afraid!"

Qin Yu smiled and placed her palm-sized face into Chu Nan's big hand and started rubbing.

"Uncle, I don't feel wronged. Don't worry."

She told Chu Nan about all the heroics done by her and the Four Little ones, "Uncle, in the future, Glory World can provide you with the funds you need. You don't have to suffer anymore, I'm now making good money!"

Chu Nan patted Xiaoyu's head in relief. "It's been hard for you. After everything's over, try taking over the business of our gang. Finally, Uncle Xu Da and I can take a breather."

Only then did Qin Yu remember to ask, "Where's Uncle Xu Da? How's his injury?"

Chu Nan sighed softly. "There's a bullet left in his body. It's been many years. The bullet is pressing on her nerves, paralyzing one of his legs. We came this time looking for a doctor to fix his leg."

Qin Yu came up with an idea. "Have you contacted a reliable doctor?"

Chu Nan nodded. "In the process."

Qin Yu then said, "I'll help you find a good one. Leave this to me."

Chu Nan was glad to see Qin Yu back to her usual self.

Two days later, Ning Chen finally woke up at the end of the critical period as announced by the doctor.

Guan Yue punched the walls outside of the ICU in excitement. So much so he didn't even notice the bleeding of his knuckles.

Uncle Wen cried with happiness.

Only Qin Yu collapsed into Chu Nan's arms after hearing the news, passing out almost immediately.

The drug in her body was still under investigation, nobody knew what it was. However, with her willpower, she managed to stay awake throughout Ning Chen critical period. Only when she heard that he was safe did she finally relax and fainted when all of the stress was lifted at once.

Upon waking up, Ning Chen immediately asked, "Where's Xiao Yu?"

Guan Yue did not dare to tell him the truth, afraid that it would trigger his emotions. He only told him that Qin Yu was told to rest as she'd been very exhausted.

Ning Chen did not suspect him and asked for his phone.

He believed Qin Yu would've sent him messages.

As expected, Xiao Yu's messages filled the inbox of his phone.

[Brother Doctor, where are you? Can you come to M City? I need you. I need you to treat my husband's injuries. He took a bullet for me and his life is in danger. I'm so scared... that he will abandon me. I can't imagine him leaving me.]

[Brother Doctor, I know I've fallen for him after asking my heart. What should I do? I am so sorry I had to do this to you.]

[Brother Doctor, I didn't fall in love with him because he took a bullet for me. My love for him wasn't born out of guilt and gratitude.]

[Brother Doctor, please write back. I'm begging you to return. And please save him. I'm so afraid of losing him.]

[Brother Doctor, I talk to him every day in the ICU. The doctor told me to talk about our shared experiences. But we didn't have any but our boring daily lives. He always keeps me safe and pampers me. He reminds me of you, and you, him. I kept thinking if you're the same person? Quit giving me the illusions. Can you just come back? I'll introduce you to him, I'm sure you'll be great friends!]
