This day, Tang Xian had an urgent surgery that he absolutely couldn't avoid.

Xu Xia was reading, occasionally glancing at Fu Jiu's condition on the sickbed.

A knock on the door sounded from outside. She wasn't planning on answering it.

Because the only one who comes here is Tang Xian, and Tang Xian has her own key. The rest of them wouldn't be able to find her even if they tried.

But the knocking kept going, it was getting quite annoying. I wonder who could be so persistent.

"Nurse Xia."

Xu Xia saw a beautiful face at the door, although if she had to say anything bad about it, it would be that her complexion didn't look good. After all, Xu Xia knew that Miss Fu Jiujiao in front of her was a heart patient.

"Hello," Xu Xia said politely, yet distantly.

But the girl across from her took out a small box, and Xu Xia frowned slightly. "We can't accept gifts,"

"I know you didn't want the perfume last time, this... well, it's just a little something. It didn't cost me anything. I made these bookmarks myself. I heard you like to read, so this should come in handy."

She saw the question in Xu Xia's face, “If you don't believe me, open it and take a look. Actually, I have no other intentions. I just think I might have to stay here for a long time in the future. I want to get along well with everyone, so I will feel like I am visiting friends and attending gatherings, rather than being hospitalized.”

Xu Xia opened the box, and it was indeed a delicate bookmark. On it was written a sentence, the handwriting was elegant and very beautiful.

She had seen good calligraphy, but it was rare to see someone with average handwriting write so well.

"Take it, it's not too much, is it?"

Xu Xia nodded and smiled, "Well then, but please don't do that again in the future. Besides, I am specifically responsible for this ward, so I probably won't be able to help you with your busy schedule."

"It's okay, everyone has a present, I don't want you to be left out."

Xu Xia nodded slightly, and the girl didn't bother her for long before leaving on her own.

Xu Xia glanced at the bookmark. The words on it were really beautiful, and upon closer inspection, there was a faint fragrance, not too strong, very suitable for girls.

She didn't think much of it and continued reading, but in the afternoon, she found the instrument alarm. After a glance, her whole body went numb.

Without thinking too much, he quickly called Tang Xian, but at this moment, Tang Xian was still in the operating room. However, he would also bring his phone in for disinfection. But at this moment, no one answered the call.

Xu Xia cried, she wanted to go find Tang Xian, but she couldn't leave this place.

She opened the door and hurried to call someone to inform Dr. Tang.

……

Li Chao.

Fu Jiujiu and Tang Xian attended in formal attire, looking at Tang Haojing who had just been knocked unconscious and was still a little dazed. Hong Qixing lifted the corner of the veil, full of complaints, "What are you looking at? Are you getting married or not? If we're not getting married, I'm leaving."

At this moment, Tang Haojing could only use one word to describe his feelings: excitement.

He quickly knelt down. His parents were long gone, and while the ones he was kneeling before were his uncle and aunt, they had given him his father's teachings and his mother's tenderness. His eyes welled up with tears.

Hong Qi Xing was also delighted, as her wedding, of course, had to be different from the rest.

As the sound of entering the bridal chamber echoed, Fu Jiujiu, who had initially been smiling, suddenly furrowed her brow. It was a feeling that made it hard to breathe.

She had never
had.

Tang Xian looked over and immediately recognized that she wasn't feeling well. "What's wrong? Was the child giving you trouble?"

Fu Jiujiu calmed herself for a moment, but the feeling of suffocation remained. A fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead, but as the newcomers hadn't left yet, she didn't want to worry them.

She was speechless at the moment, only managing a weak smile and shaking her head. But how could Tang Xian believe her?

Fu Jiujiu quickly checked her pulse, she was fine and healthy. So what was going on?

She tried her best to remain calm, taking deep breaths, but it was all in vain.

Watching a newlywed couple leave the hall amidst the cheers of the crowd, she broke into a satisfied smile. The next moment, her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was eerily silent. Tang Xian felt a panic he had never experienced before, like a headless fly buzzing around aimlessly.

"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with Jiujiao? You tell me, it's alright. Is it because of this child? If it truly is so, then just let it be."

The peacock outside called, but no one paid it any mind.

Fu Wuji shook his head, his brows remaining furrowed ever since he entered. "Your Majesty, please don't worry, Jiujiu's illness... is too strange. Over the years, I have read many books and still don't know what ails her. It is my incompetence."

"Father, it's also my fault. I didn't study well!" Fu Tianxing felt even more guilty.

"Where's the oddity, Fifth Brother? We are all family. You might as well speak plainly."

"The strange thing is, her pulse is completely normal. I've known Chi-Chi for years and she hasn't been injured. This pregnancy has been a little unsteady, but she's more of a doctor than me and nothing major is wrong."

"Could it be related to her injury from over twenty years ago?"

When Tang Xian spoke, his heart felt like someone had punched a big hole in it, then put it on a fire to roast. He truly hated himself for not protecting JiuJiu back then.

"This... I can't say for sure either, but if that were the case, there should be some reaction in her pulse, right? She seems normal now."

"Then why isn't she awake?" Tang Xian asked.

Fu Wujin also wished he could go back and read all the books again.

After those years, he had never felt such panic again. His chirps were always cheerful smiles around him. He panicked, facing the enemy nation's menacing gaze, his eyes never flinched.

But facing Qiongqiong's abnormal coma, he couldn't bear it.

"Attend me, haste thee and bring Coral to my presence."

"Coral?" Fu Wujin was still a little puzzled. Over the years, many people didn't know anything about coral. Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiu had always kept their mouths shut about it.

Even within the Fu family, not many people know about it.

"My medical skills are even better than a coral doctor's..."

"Fifth Brother, don't tell Father and Mother about this for now. Just say that she woke up this afternoon because the child was making a fuss. Tell everyone else that she is awake."

"I understand, mom and dad are getting older. If they knew something was wrong with Chirp, I'm afraid they couldn't handle it."

This night, Tang Xian didn't close his eyes. He clutched Fu Jiujiu's hand tightly, and in the span of a single night, several white hairs grew.

Normal coma, how come he woke up in the middle of the night? However, until late at night the next day, Coral arrived, and Fu Chi-Chiu were both still asleep.

Coral received the message and hurried over. Fortunately, she was already on her way back with Tang Haokang, otherwise it would have taken a few more days.

"Quick, come and see Chi-Chi, what's wrong with her?" Tang Xian turned his head, a world-weary look on his face, the white hair at his temples particularly striking.
