Ning Zhiyong and Mei Shulan met in high school. Although Mei Shulan came from an ordinary family, they were destined to be together.
From school uniforms to wedding dresses and now, they have been together for most of their lives, their feelings naturally incomparable.
"No, I have to stay with your father. The doctor said your father might wake up in these few days," Mei Shulan said, then reached out and held Ning Zhiyong's hand on the hospital bed.
As soon as Mei Shulan's hand touched Ning Zhiyong, she clearly felt his hand seem to move.
Seeing the startled Mei Shulan, Ning Min quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Minmin, Minmin, your father, your father's hand moved!" Mei Shulan was so excited that she could barely speak fluently.
Upon hearing this, Shen Huaimin immediately got up and left the ward, directly looking for the doctor.
In less than two minutes, a large group of doctors and nurses rushed into the room behind Shen Huaimin.
Mei Shulan and Ning Min were pushed aside by the doctors and nurses, anxiously watching the doctors and Ning Zhiyong on the hospital bed.
Mei Shulan clasped her hands together, praying constantly for a miracle to happen.
After a thorough examination, the doctor took off his mask and said to Mei Shulan and Ning Min, "The patient's consciousness has begun to clear. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up before noon today."
Mei Shulan was so excited that she repeatedly thanked the doctor, "Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor."
The doctor quickly waved his hands and then instructed, "You must constantly observe the patient's condition. Remember to notify us doctors immediately if anything happens."
"Okay, okay!"
Mei Shulan saw the doctor out of the ward and immediately hugged Ning Min, "That's great, that's great, your father is finally going to wake up, it's all your credit!"
People in Hong Kong are somewhat superstitious. Ning Zhiyong had been in a coma for a long time due to his condition and was almost declared to have no chance of waking up.
However, after Ning Min returned, Ning Zhiyong's condition gradually improved, and even the doctors called it a miracle.
Moreover, her own health also gradually improved. In her opinion, all of this was because of Ning Min.
At that time, Mei Shulan had already prepared herself mentally, waiting for her husband to die and then she would follow him.
After all, she had no worries. Her daughter had been lost for over 20 years and couldn't be found, and her husband was also gone. Living alone was meaningless.
Later, her elder brother-in-law actually told her that her daughter had been found, and had gotten married and had children.
She didn't believe it at first, thinking her elder brother-in-law was just deceiving her, until her elder brother-in-law brought back a person's hair and did a DNA paternity test with her.
Looking at the line of text on the identification report, 99.99%, supporting that Mei Shulan and Ning Min are biological mother and daughter.
Mei Shulan felt that a ray of light finally broke through her previously dark world. Her twenty years of perseverance were finally rewarded at this moment.
Then she begged her elder brother-in-law, hoping he could bring her daughter back so she could see her properly.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered going directly to the mainland, but her physical condition couldn't support that idea, and moreover, she didn't feel at ease about her husband.
The moment she saw Ning Min, she was sure that Ning Min was her daughter, because Ning Min looked so much like her maternal grandmother.
"Mom, I heard you. So now you should eat something and rest well. When Dad wakes up later, let him have a good look at you," Ning Min said.
Hearing this, Mei Shulan finally got up, sat to the side, obediently ate the food, and then lay down on the accompanying bed, closing her eyes with a smile.
Ning Min and Shen Huaimin walked to the window, looking at the bustling traffic below.
"Min ge, I miss Xiao Yuanzi, and I miss Mom and Dad too," Ning Min said.
She had been in Hong Kong for almost a month. Although she was somewhat familiar with many things here, it was not the place where she had lived for over 20 years.
Although it was the place where she was born, the mainland was the cradle that nurtured her growth.
"Soon. After Dad wakes up, we'll handle things here and then we can go home," Shen Huaimin said.
After a month here, they finally understood why Ning Zhisheng was so eager for them to return.
Because the Ning family in Hong Kong was Ning Zhiyong's business. His elder brother, Ning Zhisheng, only held 10% of the Ning family shares.
The majority of the shares were in his brother Ning Zhiyong's hands. Originally, he thought that since they had no daughter, all their inheritance would definitely belong to him and his son after they died.
But he never expected that his brother Ning Zhiyong had made a will long ago.
If both he and his wife died, within three years, whoever found their daughter would share all their property, including shares, with her.
If their daughter was not found within three years, all the property and shares in his hands would be donated to the mainland.
Ning Zhisheng had previously thought about bringing Ning Min back after his brother died.
But he couldn't, because his brother's will had already spread throughout many upper-class circles in Hong Kong.
Hearing that whoever could find her would inherit such a large inheritance, they were even more proactive than him.
Since he could find Ning Min here, it was possible that someone else would find her in the next second, and then he would truly have nothing.
All of this was told to them by Ning Zhiyong's most loyal subordinate, with the intention of making them guard against Ning Zhisheng.
After all, after returning, Ning Min had not told anyone that she had regained her memory, not even Mei Shulan knew. She always thought Ning Min called them Mom and Dad because she accepted them.
"Okay, as soon as things here are over, we'll go home," Ning Min said, also praying in her heart for that moment to come quickly.
Little did they know that Ning Zhiyong, lying on the hospital bed, and Mei Shulan clearly heard all their whispered conversations.
Mei Shulan's closed eyes shed two tears at the corners, which silently disappeared into her hair.
Then Ning Zhiyong's hand moved, and he opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, all the machines emitted harsh alarm sounds.
This was because Ning Zhiyong, who could move, reached out and pulled out the oxygen tube inserted into his nose.
As the alarms blared, everyone looked in Ning Zhiyong's direction. They saw him sitting up in the hospital bed, his eyes looking at Ning Min and Shen Huaimin by the window.
"Zhiyong!"
