The two brothers had no idea of the events that had followed after leaving the Shen family residence.
Now they were in Shen Liangchuan’s van.
Shen Zihao hung his head dejectedly—he was at a complete loss.
Shen Liangchuan frowned when he saw his brother in such a state and immediately asked, “Where are you headed now?”
“The hospital. I wish to keep Nuannuan company.”
Those words made Shen Liangchuan somewhat glad.
He instructed the chauffeur, sat back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Shen Zihao looked at his brother, who had noticeably lost weight after only a few days of not seeing him. Suddenly, he felt like he would never be a match to Shen Liangchuan.
He had been depressed after Qiao Lian had left.
But when his family needed him, he would step out without thinking twice.
What about himself?
There was no question of why Nuannuan would commit suicide.
He had been an irresponsible man.
Shen Zihao’s eyes turned misty again as he choked with emotions. He started, “Big brother—”
“What are you crying for?” Shen Liangchuan said roughly. “Are you a man?”
Shen Zihao quickly suppressed his tears and emotions. Shen Liangchuan opened his piercing eyes and looked at him saying, “You have to fight for your own happiness! And more than that, to protect it! Do you understand that?”
Shen Zihao nodded vigorously.
Now he understood.
What other doubts could he have now?
But…
“Big brother, how about you?”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank upon hearing this and his eyes narrowed at once.
That’s right, how about him?
Shen Liangchuan grimaced and chortled.

Very soon, the van arrived at the hospital. Shen Zihao jumped out of the car and dashed all the way to the ward.
But as soon as he saw Shen Zihao, Dad Xia, who was standing guard at the door, glowered. “Stop right there!”
Shen Zihao halted and asked, “Dad, has Nuannuan woken up?”
Dad Xia’s eyes were bloodshot from having stayed up all night, making him look even more frail now.
Glaring at the young man, he said after a long pause, “No, she hasn’t.”
Shen Zihao was stunned. “Why hasn’t she woken up?”
There was great pain in Dad Xia’s red eyes as he said, “The doctor says that if she doesn’t wake up, she’ll probably end up in a vegetative state.”
Shen Zihao froze at those words.
He stared at Dad Xia with disbelief. “What?”
Dad Xia frowned and said, “Young Master Shen, look at the pathetic state my daughter is in! Please, I beg of you! Please, go away and don’t drag her through the mud anymore. Her mother and I just wish to be with her for the rest of our lives.”
Shen Zihao tightened his fists at these words.
With a loud this, he dropped to his knees before Dad Xia!
Dad Xia was stunned and took a step backward. “What- what is this about?”
Shen Zihao said with a look of determination, “Dad, I won’t go. I want to stay here with Nuannuan.”
“Stay here with her? Young Master Shen, what have you done to earn the right to even say that?! Where were you when she had a miscarriage? Where were you when she was maligned? Where were you when she had nowhere to turn to and the only way out was to commit suicide? Shen Zihao! You promised me when you married her that you’d take care of her for the rest of her life! And what has happened!?”
Every question hit the core of Shen Zihao’s heart like a hammer coming down on him.
His eyes reddened as he lowered his head and said, “Dad, I know I was really off the mark in the past. So now, all the more I can’t leave.”
“But Nuannuan… may not ever wake up again!”
