“I’ll come to help you after I eat!” Wei Yilin said to Wei Ruo.

After saying this, Wei Yilin ran towards the dining hall before Xiumei, and she had to quicken her pace to catch up.

It only took the time of one joss stick burning, and Wei Yilin returned, carrying a bowl of ginseng chicken soup in his hand. Xiumei was also carrying a heavy box of food behind him.

They entered the bedroom, walked past the screen, and finally, Wei Yilin saw Wei Mingting lying on the sickbed.

At this moment, his small eyes turned red again, and he pouted his mouth but managed to hold back the tears without crying out loud.

Suppressing his emotions, Wei Yilin placed the bowl of ginseng chicken soup he was carrying in front of Wei Ruo.

“Here, you take some too. Don’t fall ill yourself later, I don’t have the time to take care of you.”

Wei Ruo took the ginseng chicken soup and took a few sips.

Xiumei also handed the food box to Wei Ruo: “Miss, please eat more, I will make you some more bird’s nest soup later.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

“I’m not tired at all, Miss, you must take care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I still have the strength.” Wei Ruo comforted Xiumei.

Then Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yilin and said to Xiumei: “Meimei, go and get another blanket, it’s chilly at night, we have to guard against the chill.”

“Alright.”

Xiumei turned her head and went to fetch two blankets for Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin.

At night, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin stayed with him.

Wei Yilin became very quiet, his eyes continuously looking at Wei Mingting, who was unconscious in bed.

When Wei Ruo got up to check Wei Mingting’s condition, Wei Yilin also stood up.

“How is it? Older sister, how is father?” Wei Yilin asked.

“He’s still alive, but now his body is somewhat hot.” Wei Ruo responded.

“A bit hot? What should we do? What can I do?” Wei Yilin became even more nervous, he didn’t fully understand his father’s injuries, but he knew that a fever was not a good sign.

“Considering the severity of his injuries, the fever is a normal reaction. As long as it’s not too high, we won’t do anything else; If his temperature becomes too high, we will apply a towel to cool him down. Other than this, he needs to take his medicines on time. The doctor has done everything possible, for now, we can only watch and wait.” Wei Ruo answered.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips, his expression worried, but he still nodded in agreement.

For some reason, Wei Ruo seemed so reliable at this moment that he couldn’t help but trust her.

Wei Ruo originally thought that Wei Yilin was just saying it, and that he would soon be tired and sleep, she didn’t expect that he didn’t even doze off once this night, as if he was afraid that if he turned his head, the person in the bed would disappear.

Every time Wei Ruo got up to check Wei Mingting’s condition or fed him his medicines, He also got up, even if he couldn’t really help, he still wanted to accompany them for a while.

There was only sparse starlight from the window, and the occasional sound of insects, the candlelight in the room flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

They lost count on how many times they had to get up to change Wei Mingting’s dressing, giving him his food, and wipe him down.

At first, Wei Yilin didn’t understand, but after watching for a while, he could indeed help a bit.

In this way, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin sat together on the chair beside Wei Mingting’s bed, from dusk until dawn.

Although the night was tiring and they did go through quite a bit of trouble, luckily, nothing unexpected happened to Wei Mingting.

The only unexpected incident was that Yunshi came over to see Wei Mingting once in the first half of the night. Wei Ruo was applying a new dressing to Wei Mingting’s wound. When Yunshi saw the wound on Wei Mingting’s chest, she passed out.

So, Wei Ruo asked Cuiping to help Yunshi to the next room and not to let her come over for the time being.

At three o’clock in the morning, the rooster crowed thrice, Wei Ruo went to the bedside and felt Wei Mingting’s forehead. The fever had subsided and when she took his pulse again, it was steady.

Wei Ruo sighed in relief: “Father has made it past the first hurdle.”

“Really?” Wei Yilin’s eyes lit up immediately.

“Yes, at least for now the danger to life is removed now; the next is the second hurdle, we still need to be careful and can’t afford any mistakes.” Wei Ruo said.

“Then you should rest for a while, I will watch over here!” Wei Yilin said, “I am a man, and a martial artist, my body is strong, I can handle this better than you!”

“Don’t be stubborn, you should also go back and sleep for a while to replenish your energy.” Wei Ruo said.

“No, I am fine, I can continue to stay with father!” Wei Yilin stated resolutely.

“Are you going to stay up tonight?” Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Yilin nodded.

“Then go and get some rest now, during the day let Doctor Cheng and his apprentice look over, they should suffice so you don’t need to worry too much. We will then take their place at night.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yilin agreed with a nod after seriously considering it for a moment.

Just after Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin finished talking, Doctor Cheng arrived. Wei Ruo briefly explained the situation from last night to Doctor Cheng.

Doctor Cheng sighed in relief: “That’s really great, Mr. Wei has gotten past this incredibly dangerous hurdle!”

“Yes, but we still have to be careful from now until tomorrow, we can’t afford a single mistake.” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, you should go and rest, you can leave the rest to me.” Doctor Cheng said.

“Call me if anything happens, I’m in my own room.”

“Sure, don’t worry Miss, Mr. Wei is a lucky man, since he got through last night, the rest will not be an issue.” Doctor Cheng comforted.

Wei Ruo nodded her head.

Not long after Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin left, Wei Qingwan came over and asked about the situation from the doorway.

“Doctor, how is my father?” Wei Qingwan looked exhausted, her voice full of concern.

“Replying to the second Miss, Mr. Wei has passed the most critical stage last night. He still needs rest for the time being, my apprentice and I will constantly be by Mr. Wei’s side.”

Doctor Cheng responded to Wei Qingwan’s question from the doorway, not allowing Wei Qingwan to enter.

“Can I go in and see my father?” Wei Qingwan asked.

“I would advise against that for now. Mr. Wei currently needs peace, and his wounds need constant tending to. He shouldn’t be disturbed.” Doctor Cheng tactfully refused.

Wei Qingwan nodded: “Thank you, Doctor Cheng.”

“There is no need for thanks,” replied Doctor Cheng politely.

Later, Wei Qingwan went to the next room to find Yunshi, in the early morning, Cuihe had told her about her mother fainting last night.

Although everything was alright now, Wei Qingwan knew that her mother needed company and comfort at this time.

Entering the next room, Yunshi was lying on the bed, looking sick.

The moment she saw Wei Qingwan, she anxiously asked about Wei Mingting’s condition: “Wanwan, how is your father?”

Wei Qingwan lied: “Mother, don’t worry. I just went to see father. There is no danger to his life now.”

“Really?” Yunshi was somewhat incredulous, “Last night, I saw a large hole in your father’s chest…”

When Yunshi thought of that sight, her heart ached intensely.

Wei Qingwan kept on comforting her, and the mother and daughter clung to each other..
