Zhuang Hong flashed a cold glance at him. Although his influence seemed weak now, his dignity was still there. Boyan quickly shut his mouth and went to check on his condition.
After a while, Boyan said, “You’ve been unconscious for so long. The swelling in your brain has almost gone down completely. It’s just that your body is a little weak. You just need to replenish it.”
Boyan’s last statement held an obvious hint. Cen Shuang’s face instantly turned red again. Zhuang Hong had woken up, but she did not know how to get along with him. The Zhuang Hong she knew was quiet and he let her do whatever she wanted. However, it did not seem easy to get along with him now.
The strangest thing was why she was so nervous in front of him. She did not even know what to do with her hands as she stood there uneasily.
Zhuang Hong said coldly, “The Zhuang family’s recent situation.”
Boyan said helplessly, “I knew you were a workaholic. I send the Zhuang family’s information to your private email every day. You can take your time to peruse it. However, the Zhuang family is no longer what it was half a year ago.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhuang Hong had been seriously injured half a year ago, and he had been bedridden for so long. No one knew if he would be able to wake up and rejoin the corporation. Zhuang Yiliang and his son naturally took the opportunity to seize power. Although the Zhuang family had Old Master Zhuang leading it,
he was not young anymore. There were some things that he was unable to do.
Zhuang Hong’s gaze was solemn. Just as Boyan had said, the Zhuang family’s situation was not good. In just half a year, the family’s second son and his son had almost emptied out half of the Zhuang Corporation’s assets.
Boyan continued, “I haven’t told anyone about you waking up. If they find out, they’ll probably worry themselves to death right now.”
Boyan sneered. Zhuang Hong’s willpower had always been very good. Even if everyone in the Zhuang family did not believe that he would wake up, Boyan still believed in him. “It will still take some time for your body to recover. You shouldn’t be interfering with the company’s matters.”
However, if the father and son knew that he had woken up, it would only make them jump the gun. They would take an even bigger bite out of the Zhuang Corporation.
Zhuang Hong asked, “How long will it take for me to recover?”
Boyan thought for a moment. “About two months. The time you spent in bed is not considered long. However, if you work hard to ‘train’ yourself your recovery should be faster.” After saying that, his gaze swept over Cen Shuang. He packed his things and was about to leave. His expression was serious.
‘When he passed by Cen Shuang, he even reminded her considerately, “A coma patient who has just woken up isn’t fully recovered yet. Please continue to take care of him for a little longer.”
Cen Shuang rolled her eyes. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were alone again. “Should I tell mom that you’re awake?”
As soon as Cen Shuang finished speaking, Lan Yibai came back. “I heard that you called Boyan. Are you not feeling well?” The moment Lan Yibai came back, she grabbed Cen Shuang’s hand and spoke nervously.
Cen Shuang shook her head. “It’s not me, it’s…”
Cen Shuang was stunned when she saw that Zhuang Hong was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. When did he lie down? He moved so quickly. Had this person really been weak for half a year?
Lan Yibai’s gaze was unexpectedly sharp. “Boyan already comes to check on Zhuang Hong every week. We shouldn’t trouble him. Why are his clothes dirty?”
Cen Shuang said embarrassedly, “I accidentally spilled porridge on him when I was eating. I changed the bedsheets and changed his clothes. I don’t think I got everything.”
Lan Yibai looked at her nervous expression and smiled gently. “‘m not angry. I’m already very happy that you can accompany Zhuang Hong every day. With you around, he shouldn’t feel lonely.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Your son isn’t lonely at all. I’m afraid he still secretly despises me.’ Cen Shuang thought this to herself. Zhuang Hong had woken up, but he did not want Lan Yibai to know. She felt quite guilty. Her mother-in-law treated her well and she was not telling her the truth. She felt guilty!
Lan Yibai stayed for a while before leaving. Cen Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw Zhuang Hong open his eyes, her heart skipped a beat. What should she do? She was used to seeing him sleep, and she felt uncomfortable when he was awake.
Cen Shuang pinched the hem of her shirt and stood in front of the window. “Well, mom has been worried about you. You really won’t tell her that you’re awake?!”
Zhuang Hong threw her a small white bottle. “Eat this.”
Cen Shuang looked at it and asked, “What’s this?”
Zhuang Hong replied, “Anti-inflammatory medicine. The bandage on your back won’t be enough. You also have to be careful so that the wound won’t get inflamed.” Zhuang Hong looked at the tablet in his hand and spoke calmly.
Cen Shuang suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “How do you know that I have a wound on my back? Did you see it?” This meant that he had woken up last night, but Cen Shuang remembered that she had been naked last night.
Zhuang Hong raised his head and met her panicked gaze. He said calmly, “I saw it. I even personally applied medicine on the wound for you.”
Zhuang Hong’s voice echoed in Cen Shuang’s mind. She thought she had dreamt that Zhuang Hong applied medicine on her back. She also thought she dreamt that she slept holding tightly to his hand.. Did all of that really happen?
