Xia Wanfu remained unconscious for three full days before waking. After her condition stabilized, she was moved to a regular hospital room.
During this time, Jiang Zexi had stayed by her side.
Lying on the hospital bed, she felt her vision was extremely blurry. No matter how hard she tried to open her eyes, it was in vain, as if a thin veil had been cast over them.
Her mind was also a complete fog, unable to recall anything.
Suddenly losing her sight, Xia Wanfu was filled with fear and unease. She flailed her arms wildly, crying out in panic, "I can't see... why can't I see?"
Jiang Zexi grabbed her hand and soothed her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm right here..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Wanfu felt like she had found a ray of light in the darkness.
She clutched Jiang Zexi's hand tightly, her fearful heart settling slightly. However, she was still scared, because she couldn't see the person in front of her, only a blurry shadow.
She cried, "Zexi gege, my eyes can't see, what should I do, I can't see..."
Jiang Zexi was also very flustered, as he had no idea why Xia Wanfu couldn't see.
The doctor hadn't mentioned any impact on her vision, only that the head trauma might cause memory confusion or amnesia.
He held Xia Wanfu and gently comforted her, "Listen to me, you'll be fine. We're in the hospital, the doctors will definitely have a solution, and I'll find a way to cure you."
Xia Wanfu's emotions gradually calmed, but her hands still gripped Jiang Zexi's clothes tightly, showing her deep unease.
Jiang Zexi tentatively asked, "Wanfu, do you remember what happened?"
Xia Wanfu furrowed her brows, trying to recall. Memories slowly resurfaced, and at the same time, sharp pains shot through her body, making her uncomfortable everywhere.
So, she had been in a car accident.
The last image in her mind was of a runaway car speeding towards her, appearing before her in the blink of an eye.
She only remembered a loud bang, and then her vision went black, and she knew nothing else.
Before the crash, she had been on the phone with Xia Wantang.
Seeing her lost in thought and not confused or bewildered, Jiang Zexi knew she definitely hadn't lost her memory.
At that moment, the doctor arrived.
Jiang Zexi hurried to ask, "Doctor, why can't she see?"
The doctor was a very elderly man. He raised a hand, signaling Jiang Zexi to be quiet.
He then walked to the bedside and asked, "Young lady, let me ask you, can you not see at all, or is your vision unclear?"
His voice was aged but deep and strong, his demeanor composed, and his gaze sharp and piercing.
Xia Wanfu turned towards the sound of his voice. Before her was only a blurry figure, but she felt an inexplicable sense of calm.
Since she had just woken up and only said she couldn't see, no one knew it was just unclear vision. This indicated her symptoms were within the doctor's expectations.
So she replied, "My vision is unclear."
The doctor nodded, knowing what he was dealing with and feeling confident. "It's just temporary blurry vision, it will recover slowly."
Jiang Zexi instantly felt relieved and thanked the doctor gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor."
The doctor waved his hand with a light smile, "You're welcome. Mr. Ling invited me to help. I'm actually retired."
Although the surgery wasn't performed by him, he had provided guidance, with his apprentice as the lead surgeon.
As soon as Ling Yuchen received the news, he had called and used his connections to arrange everything.
In essence, Xia Wanfu's life was saved by Gong Zhijing and Ling Yuchen.
Afterward, the doctor gave many instructions, and Xia Wanfu would need to stay in the hospital for at least another ten days to half a month.
After seeing the doctor out, Jiang Zexi remarked, "Your quick recovery is thanks to Yuchen and his wife.
If your sister-in-law hadn't called me in time, you might have missed the best window for treatment.
And Yuchen had already arranged everything for you at the hospital."
He deliberately said this, hoping to improve her relationship with Xia Wantang.
(Author's note: The change of Xia Wantang's name was not publicly announced, so others still use their original names.)
After all, he and Yuchen were good brothers, and their future wives would inevitably cross paths.
Xia Wanfu understood this logic. She closed her eyes wearily, feeling a sharp ache in her eyes.
She wondered if Jiang Zexi, knowing about her car accident, might also know about other things.
Jiang Zexi gently stroked her hand, his movements soft and careful.
"If you're tired, just sleep. Don't think about anything else. You can trust me completely.
Also, from now on, you're not allowed to keep anything from me. I didn't have you investigated because I trusted you.
I hope we can always be honest with each other."
Xia Wanfu opened her eyes to look at him. Although she couldn't see clearly, her gaze fixed on him.
"Have you found out everything?"
Jiang Zexi did not deny it. "Yes, so don't hide anything from me anymore. I can accept everything about you."
Xia Wanfu was stunned for a long time. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, but undeniably, she was deeply touched.
Meeting Jiang Zexi was truly the luckiest thing in her life.
"Are you hungry? I'll ask the attendant to buy some porridge."
During Xia Wanfu's unconsciousness, she had been receiving only nutritional fluids and hadn't eaten anything.
When Jiang Zexi mentioned it, she indeed felt a pang of hunger.
She swallowed and instinctively licked her dry lips, not only hungry but also thirsty.
Seeing this, Jiang Zexi took a straw cup from the bedside table and carefully helped her drink.
Soon, the attendant arrived with hot porridge and chicken soup.
Jiang Zexi personally fed Xia Wanfu, taking care of all her needs himself.
His meticulous care brought Xia Wanfu considerable peace of mind.
After eating and drinking well, her mood also improved. However, she then remembered something else.
With such a serious incident, her family should know by now!
But she had been awake for a while and hadn't heard any familiar voices.
Doubt flickered in her heart, and her expression changed, showing restlessness or absentmindedness.
Jiang Zexi, being observant, immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Xia Wanfu no longer had any reservations about him. If Jiang Zexi wasn't trustworthy, then no one in this world would be.
"Do my family members know about my situation?"
So, that was it. Jiang Zexi didn't hide anything.
"Yes, your mother and grandmother have already visited."
Xia Wanfu immediately became nervous, but before she could ask, Jiang Zexi recounted what happened that day.
After hearing it, she couldn't help but cry, tears streaming down her face. No matter what, her mother and grandmother had been very good to her.
At the same time, the pressure she carried and her worries vanished at that moment.
