During the next period of time, Gu Qiaoqiao tried everything she could, until the sky turned white, until the sun rose from the horizon, until the doctors and nurses came on their rounds. Only then did she slump softly into the chair, pressing her pale lips tightly together, saying nothing.
The doctor checked briefly and seemed to feel the patient had no problems, although puzzled that he should have woken up after a night's sleep. However, this situation wasn't unheard of, so he asked Gu Qiaoqiao, "Are you the patient's family member?"
Gu Qiaoqiao mechanically nodded, murmuring in a low voice, "I'm his wife."
The doctor told her, "Don't worry. Your husband is fine, he should wake up by the afternoon."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize lying there, her eyes darkened slightly, but she said nothing more.
Hopefully, it would be as the doctor said.
In the afternoon, Qin Yize still hadn't woken up.
By the next evening, it was still the same.
